Looking for novels with anthropomorphic animal (aka “furry”) protagonists.Know any good ones?
>>24828409>Presumably you're trying to get a gotchano just genuinely curious who would have the means to commission such stories when from what I have heard about them they are generally anti authority in a way that I wouldnt think an authority figure wouldnt be particularly approving of, unless they took it in good humor. Maybe wealthy commune merchants?
So furries have always had wealthy patrons behind them?
>>24829332Kinda gross and reaching desu.
>>24824054I always felt the wolf was much more respectable then Renard desu. Renard is an asshole.
>>24829332>open the video >thumbnail has an obese tranny with fox ears on it >close the video Thanks, faggot
>Being the Knight of Faith means being a literal delusional retard>Example is a guy having oneitis for a woman he’ll never have and expecting God to give her to you>This is a good thing apparently>The Knight of Resignation is painted as someone who gives up, even though their lives after moving on from their delusion would be far more godly and healthyOh ok, back to Nietzsche
>>24829575and yet, no one can stop the spread of Islam. curious.>>24829585can't be any less retarded than the "the rational is real and the real is rational" or something like that. I think Hegel has an interesting if slightly flawed view of the philosophy of history, but to assume history, like humans, moves according to reason is a funny joke.
>>24829649You haven’t refuted anything I said, I don’t even understand your point about Islam, and you’re just mad because I think this kind of faith is stupid. I’m not even an atheist…I’m a Catholic.You think the spread of Islam is good? Lmao
>>24829552>communism >nihilistic, >godlessLiberal propaganda There's also Soviet propaganda to make you believe they were communism. But it's all fake shit. >but that wasn't r-r-real socialismDEMOSTRABLY
>>24829670because that's not what I was saying at all. Catholicism is great, its the faith I follow. However, you don't spread your belief system by letting other beliefs subsume you and become more tolerant. the spread of Islam is troublesome but what are you doing to stop it? Turn the other cheek applies to everything. Except abject evil. Islam metaphysically opposes Catholicism. How would you respond?
>>24829408It's called being basedI do wonder what would have happened if Nietzsche lived long enough to actually go to Denmark to read Kierkegaard
>life hecking sucks
Why does candide of voltaire seems more like something that today would be a popular manga?It feels like an adventure manga like one piece rather than literature.
>>24828798The Odyssey doesn't count as literature?
>>24828803I don't think classical epics are the same cathegory as the classical novel format.And yes, the odyssey would be today made as some TV series.
>>24828798It seems like an episode of South Park from 2007.
>>24824102>I'm extremely pessimistic and unhappy and I HATE people that say shit like "everything happens for a reason" or "God has a plan"In this case you'd be better off reading "The Jews" by Hilaire Belloc
Why does everyone treat the Sound and the Fury like it's Faulkner's masterpiece? Absalom, Absalom! is so much better.
>>24829333You don't know what normalfags are, or what shit is. You should have stayed in school.
>>24829189Unreliable narrator + stream of consciousness and achronological order
>>24829358kill yourself
The Sound and the Fury moved me more.More emotionally devastating
>>24829144It's atrociously unedited, and it makes you appreciate the absolute horror of having to pare down SARTORIS from Flags in the Dust's manuscript. There's gold there and a good story, it's just a question of how much bullshit you can tolerate. >>24829424Many unreliable narrators trying to save face about things everyone would rather forget. Sutpen - a Dutch surname - was the source of black ancestral taint, not his first wife
Severian did nothing wrong
>>24829269He raped Baldanders on the boat.
>>24829269>abdicates all personal responsibility to become an instrument of torture, death and revenge for the powerfulSounds a little ... questionable.
Makes me not want to pick up this catholic slop

I dont understand the sense in becoming the ubermensch. What is the point of creating great art if some whiny left liberal is going to vandalize it 200 years later. What is the point of creating great buildings and castles if some niggers and refugees are going to live their as parasites. What is the point of shaping the world to your will if some jew is going subvert all of that to his vision and take the final credit?Women will keep woming. Niggers will keeping nigging. Jews will keep jewing.

>>24828458It's worth mentioning that culture in France changed significantly while these guys were alive. The country was known for high academic rigor, take Baudrillard for instance, he spoke German, read several of the most famous German philosopher and even translated some of them. At some point society said all this is worthless. The result was that this group of thinkers were deemed annoying, obfuscatory, and in need of more effort to decipher. For someone like Baudrillard who already had the premier thinkers who went through the same thing it's easy to just say fuck it I have my material and you can always go look around and see what the other obscurantists have to say. This also creates a dependency loop, so as any given culture experiences the same phenomenon then they inevitably have to return to the one who can at least answer, even if that answer is we have to continue looking. Maybe times have changed, but for some reason these guys don't go away. I agree, and would even say a global darkening is likely approaching. As long as something is growing, you have something to harvest.
Can someone be so kind as to clarify this sentence for me?>Capital accumulates until it becomes image. TV, football matches, art galleries, traffic...The spectacle is not a collection of images but a social relationship among people, mediated by images.I don't understand the connection with capital. I can only conceptualize the spectacle as the mechanisms of propaganda. Can I think of the spectacle as an inversion of those mechanisms where instead of serving the political needs of those in power, it serves capital itself?
>>24828936haven't read M. Baudrillard so can't give you a comprehensive answer, but this section from early in Capital vol. 1, which he is surely alluding to, might be illuminating
>>24828658great point, anon. I thimk that it is even possible that a few of these contemporary "obscurantists" can become quite famous and influential because of the internet.
>>24821167So basically Plato but with more unnecessary fluff added to it.
So in a couple of weeks I'll have to spend 6 hours in a bus and 4 hours in a train.I've got these three classic books that I never read yet:which one should I bring ?
Le Mur by SartreMiss Harriet et autres nouvelles by MaupassantLe passe-muraille by Marcel Aymé
>>24829314They're all good. Brothers K is best for a 10 hour reading marathon: I read the first few hundred pages in an all-nighter in college, great time.
>>24829316but jacket only have two pockets :(
>>24829314Gonna second ficciones, especially if you're bringing two. You'd blow through Borges like one of his dusky barmaids blows Argentine cowboys in the back of a cantina if you've got six hours uninterrupted with it.
>>24829535Just cram it. Anyways can fit if you believe hard enough
Recommend the best audiobooks to listen to while playing video games and lurking image boards. -The war of art by Steven Pressfield-The protocols of zion-The way of the superior man by David Deida-Iron John by Robert Bly-Might is Right by Ragnar Redbeard-As a man thinketh by James Allen-Book of five rings by Miyamoto Musashi
>>24825653Complete Original Short Stories of Guy de Maupassant: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoSGHy6eibgit's librivox but the reader is good and has a cute voice. she reads too fast, though, so i recommend setting it to 0.75x speed.in total it's tens of hours of miserable tales. it's perfect.

I won’t be verbose, sentimental, circular, or emotionally cluttered.I’ll only lay down the core axis here.I’ll drop a single link — a "turning point". Leading to a place (obviously not spam or meaningless promotion).Whether you enter or not is up to you. Or more accurately — up to your essence, your cognitive limits, your biases, your beliefs.But if you still have the capacity to recognize these words — for what they are. Without reacting through unconscious emotional-social reflexes…Then you’ve already glimpsed a part of what that link contains.(If you "have nowhere else left for your core system to go", then that link may well be the last road of hope.)https://test05-veiled-under-the-shell-of-the-common-system.vercel.app/
Are these worth reading. Currently reading a lot of "canonical literature" and wanting something light-hearted from time to time.
>>24828146Cultural Marxists desperate to pretend those pesky Christians are the moral guardians, and not themselves.
>>24828122Read Harry Potter and Spellbook of Desires instead.
>>24828122>>24828132>>24828179Good replies and I think it is worth it for several reasons. It is a well enough constructed world that you can buy most of the events and it is a pretty important cultural phenomenon that is still relevant.I will remind you that these are kids books and this woman had the pulse on exactly what you need to make a world whimsical for children. Just enough adult stuff for kids to make a connection with surface level shit they might know about. As an adult, it has many, many inconsistencies and plot holes that can ruin the whole world.Like how all evil wizards are always Slytherin and how there's just one ministry of magic, how the quidditch world cup is basically one single game and how harry seems to still be so unaware of so many things in the wizard world, how the Weaslies are so fucking poor and a long list of etc. If you can look past those then you'll enjoy them.

When I reread the series as an adult the only one I really enjoyed is the Sorcerer’s Stone.
No one on /tv/ has seen or wants to discuss Naked Lunch (1991), so I figured I’d come here to talk about the unfathomably based heroin-using homosexual wife-killer William S Burroughs. Junky was such a good read and all of his spoken word tracks especially the ones set to music are fantastic. I particularly love Dub Spencer and Trance Hill’s ‘In Dub’ ive also started listening to Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, who are also fantastic.
>>24826583My brother
>>24826594>Good thing WSB got tired of that pseud shit in the 70s.I'm glad as well. Been reading Cities of the Red Night and really enjoying it. The only worthwhile cut-up novel is Naked Lunch and even then I'm dubious to the claims over how much of it was actually cut-up.
>>24810570junky is just poverty porn for boring squares who never led an underground lifestyle before. it's nothing special. the rest is schizo garbage. overrated af
