Always thought Orwell was (supposedly) the one on the right who's laughing, not the guy with the dog. Doesn't even look anything like Orwell. Dude was one of the ugliest writers going.

It's almost certainly not him anyway. Although as the other Anon said, the guy who's head is just visible in the back (wearing glasses) is probably Hemingway, a much better candidate (if a cliched one) for inclusion in this thread.

Damn I thought that was him with the dog and he just got gnarly looking as he grew older.

Further evidence on the Hemingway possibility is that he was in Spain during that time shooting/narrating The Spanish Earth the Documentary/Propaganda film about the Spanish civil war. The time spent shooting the film, especially in the rural, mountainous areas of Spain also gave him inspiration for his novel For Whom the Bell Tolls.

He's a leftist anti-trumper. Bans people from his twitter left and right just for disagreeing with him

>>9741849
That's his right. And considering the president does the exact same thing...

>>9741930

Nobody said it wasn't his "right," and Trump doesn't ban people for disagreeing with him. What he did was ban a few spammers who make viewing replies impossible. Banning people for simply disagreeing with you indicates a weakness of character while banning some losers for spamming 20 replies for every tweet is something that has to be done.

>>9741595
TLP is impossible to understand if you don't have at least some background in logic and even then it's a struggle. It's possible to understand PI without a deep background in philosophy, though you really have to put in the work to answer the questions W poses to the reader and follow his arguments. In Wittgenstein's case it's best to start with secondary literature like the Cambridge Companion or a biography like Duty of Genius that traces his obsessions and changes in view throughout his career.

So don't defend Trump for it but then whine about Rothfuss doing it, retard.

>>9744308

I don't follow. Somebody filed a lawsuit against Trump (which in all likelihood won't amount to anything) so the distinction I made between Rothduss' use of the block and Trumps use of the block doesn't matter?

>>9744325
There is no distinction. It's still blocking people for disagreeing with you. Not to mention that Trump is the president of the United States and should be held to a higher standard.

Anyway, this is /lit/. Stop defending Trump. /lit/ is supposed to be the home of intelligent people.

>>9744346

Trump blocked people for spamming and this is a very different act than blocking somebody for merely disagreeing with them. You can go on Trumps Twitter and look at any tweet to verify this for yourself, his reply box is constantly filled with whiny leftists.

>>9744361
*liberals

>>9744361
Replying to someone regularly is not spamming them.
