>2 weeksDidn't they say a month? Or is it all just placebo and they honestly have no idea when they'll be done?So stupid, I won't be surprised if many fic writers delete their works since they're not clear at what's happening.I know I'll save as many fics as possible once it returns, I'm genuinely gonna archive as much as I can. Everyone else should do that too.

>>25635708Fun little read. /lit/ is over if nobody else could read 27 pages with a font size of around 40.>presence of a cucumberI chuckled.I struggle to interpret why the federal authorities had and interest in the case if they presentation by them is so clear-cut.
It is interesting that the role of the authorities is to destroy the author’s moralistic identity, turning their initial bureaucracy into the very reason for erasing their existence.
It might be interesting, I'm tired of depressing chud lit and want to experience erecting Chad lit.
>>25634833People used to be far more impressive and interesting, I know it’s hard to believe now. Humanity was basically a different species back when Mozart and Beethoven were alive at the same time in the same country and a little ways over was Kant and over in England was Byron and etc. Or another example is Cervantes and Shakespeare dying on the same dayThe world used to be chock full of people a single one of whom would be by far the greatest genius alive todaySo yes, Casanova was probably really about that life and telling the truth
>>25635768>>25635978Remember when /lit/ had actual adults instead of 16 year olds like these two
>>25636086what do you think the average age of this board is? I'd say 28, my age. Maybe I got it all wrong
>>25636086Nice cope retarded faggot. Once again, pretty much all of casanova's exploits have been corroborated by multiple historians over the last 200 years, and this would be obvious if you read anything from the memoirs. There is even a mass of letters he kept from his life that was stored in dux castle where he died. Casanova was infamous in an era and amongst a social class that kept a massive amount of written records
>>25636086Being a contrarian capital-s Skeptic about everything is one of the trademarks of the terminal midwit fyiYou live in terror of being gullible and want to believe that not believing in anything makes you more intelligent than you are

>>25632059As a matter of fact, I wanted to read the Kalevala regardless and I was looking into which translation was best--that is how I stumbled onto Pekkanen's translation to begin with.At any rate, in the introduction he starts by citing scholarly articles on the Kalevala, and then proceeds to describe Finnish meter and why he believes that Latin matches it well--which is exactly the type of autism I like in a translator.The actual poem is kicking my butt though. The syntax is simple, but the vocabulary is pretty broad (or at least broader than what I am used to), so for now I am leaving it aside. It reads quite nicely nonetheless, do if any anon wants to read it I can wholeheartedly recommended it. The link is in my original post.
>>25635538just from looking up the author and skimming the preface alone this looks like a pretty amazing work certainly not from an amateur in the matter or a rushed thing, I'd be surprised if the Latin isn't also top notch tbqh, kinda cool actuallynot only that, but apparently this guy is one of the figures behind the famed radio program Nuntii Latinii which used to transmit news in Latin over Finnish radio

Why do so many conspiracy theories revolve around the idea that the global elite are trying to implement Plato’s Republic?I’ve heard everything, from the claim that the Catholic Church was based on Plato’s Republic, to the Islamic caliphate being based on Plato’s Republic, to communism being Plato’s Republic, to fascism being Plato’s Republic, to the Illuminati and Freemasons seeking to reshape the world as Plato’s Republic, and so on. Hell, the entire “Straussian cabal” conspiracy of the 2000s centred on the claim that the end goal of the neoconservatives was to implement Plato’s Republic with themselves as philosopher kings; according to liberals, the “neocon agenda” was rooted in Platonic philosophy. Similarly, today you see liberals claiming Peter Thiel has an agenda of implementing Plato’s Republic with himself and his Big Tech buddies as philosopher kings with the rest of humanity enslaved to them.What’s the explanation for all this? Why fear Plato?
>>25635734I posted the VV article just to share with other anons. While I need to finish it I obviously read beyond the first paragraph. I am in the pro Strauss camp of the debate and think Kojeve had more influence on neoconservatism than Strauss
>>25635932Ah, gotcha. Sorry for jumping the gun and blowing up at you, in that case.
>>25635932>think Kojeve had more influence on neoconservatism than StraussYeah… which neocons personally studied under Kojeve or Kojeve’s disciples?
>>25630083yes you are a brain broken idealist retard, we know
>>25630928There’s literally nothing wrong with any of this. All it means is, Bloom and Mansfield worked together to ensure their students’ successes. You don’t think leftist professors do the same?

>>25635981>Why no Process of Circulation?Everyone skips Process of Circulation, and if you're reading Volume 3 you need an Autonomist to shit all over your face. If you can't get it in Length of the Working Day you're not going to torture a foreman to death with live 440 VAC

What's the political make up of /lit/?
I am rabidly pro-life. Pro-choicers are vermin and should be dumped in mass graves.
These threads are always the same. These kinds of things attract the most vein people addicted to introspecting and talking about themselves. Nobody cares, you are simply not that interesting and your political ideas suck.Also, this website and websites like it are simple data harvesting tools designed to help build profiles on people. By all means divest all of your edgy beliefs to the vibecoded political compass website, what could go wrong.

This has some brilliance in it but it needed an editor. It also reads like two or three different people wrote it.

The right are really desperate to recoup their lost members. Just stop posting, it's pathetic.
>>25634988That's because it wasn't composed and edited deliberately, but was rather verbal rants Hitler gave when he was in jail for the beer hall putsch that an assistant wrote down and later published. For being completely stream of consciousness, it's really not that bad.

>>25634734I mean I agree, I was mutilated, but I don't have to reckon with that at all because it's considered to be the "normal" dick. I've never been made to feel like I have a weird looking dick.People who were not circumcised had a moment in their youth where they were made to feel like their dick looked weird. So when they start firing off reasons why it's actually "normal", you know that's the place they're coming from.
>>25634267Conceptually kind of revolting but also useful, like keeping a pleco in your aquarium.
>>25635524I think the angle most cutfags are coming from is that they become obsessed with it for lack of anything else to be proud of, or conversely they inexplicably blame their failures in life on being cut
What are the best right wing novels dealing with demographic change? Like Camp of the Saints
>>25635270>>25635729That's irrelevant to The Gallic War, which anon obviously posted tongue-in-cheek in reference to Caesar 'changing the demographics' of Gaul, forcibly, by his war against them, you fucking moron.
>>25635883The demographics of Gaul remained more or less the same, whereas Rome's were changed forever. Moreover, the "non-citizen foreigners" I mentioned were the very Gauls he had conquered.
>>25632534Outstanding post. Here be a right proper /lit/izen.
>>25632504The only reason these Democrat clowns are suddenly sniffing around the Epstein files is because they think they finally found something against Trump that will stick with his base (to their credit, sort of worked). They knew Russiagate and January 6 were irrelevant to Trump sympathizers, but Epstein was part of the whole Q shit, so that was the one thing they cared about where he was vulnerable. They treated the whole thing like Pizzagate before this term. They did not and do not give a flying fuck about "justice" or the victims. Friend/enemy distinction. Purely tactical. Politicians are all absolute filth, frankly.
