Man, not all of them are gay or pedophiles, but they do all protect them. That's just why it seems so damn common.

Complete works strike me as try hard. Something like Hamlet or Lear would seem like you're reading off a syllabus. If you read something outside the norm like Cymbeline or Measure for Measure, that's worthy of a swoon, I guess.

No. The truth is more stupid than that. Finance bros are just like /lit/ bros. They love showing off shit they haven't actually read. Bro just googled good finance books and ordered them off of Amazon. Probably skimmed a couple and then a took a pic of his cool knowledge stack.

i think the problem is society has left men behind but the right always assumes the solution is a return to tradition/pre-modernity and lefties are just condescending snowflakes who shit on men for just wanting to work hard and have a family.
both things can be true
>>
>>24798789
If you're not willing to care enough about others to at least try to make yourself attractive to them, then expecting praise from those same people comes across as narcissistic. Don't expect people to respect your opinions when you show up in unwashed hair and crocs. It's not all about you.
>>
>>24798914
Yeah but one of those opinions helps my in-group succeed and the other doesn't. I'd be an idiot not to take advantage of the other side's stupidity while downplaying the stupidity of my own. If I end up feeling hypocritical, I just remind myself that the other side is full of easy-to-dehumanize monster demons that will destroy society through their stupid malice. So it's okay to be cruel to them and operate on different layers of logic, actually. Anyone saying otherwise is trying to use clever wordplay to make my side lose.
Why is it that the bad guys in political cartoons almost always look like nazi depictions of "degenerates"?
>>
>>24798914
> the right always assumes the solution is a return to tradition/pre-modernity
Everytime I see that """solution""" incessantly parroted in right-wing spaces I heartily laugh because I'm forever reminded of Yukio Mishima: a man who was the literal embodiment of traditionalist ideals and fervant rejection of modernity, and a deeply closeted homosexual that died an extremely violent, agonizing death.
Yukio was the absolute apex of the conservative "reject modernity" ideal, and look where that lead him.

Of Human Bondage, though it follows Philip throughout his childhood first and by the time he's in his 20s, he's pretty thoroughly an adult. Different time. But still a truly great novel.
