Anyone else check to make sure an author isn’t jewish before you read a book?
I check for Irish, Americans, Immigrants, Gays, etc too. Not to avoid reading something but to know which egregore the author's mind belongs to.
>>24110294My Jewdar is pretty good but they are sneaky.
>>24110294Yes, that’s why before reading someone I always go suck their dick to see if they’re circoncise.
Essential task to any woke-right man.
>>24110294Why would you do that, white man?
>>24110533I hope you're joking
>>24110294>author is american(im american)>author was born after the end of the 19th century >book was published after 1950
>>24110729What if I wasn't?
embarrassing to admit you've never touched Kafka or Spinoza
>>24110745And I'm sure he's read a lot you haven't.
>>24110745Not yet to Spinoza but Kafka was a waste of time and absolute garbage. I encourage everybody to skip no matter your thoughts on jews.
>>24110749brother, you will not believe how many fascists are on my bookshelves, if that's what you mean it's about a disregard for literature via the nonsense exclusion of a subset
>>24110755damn, what have you read of Kakfa? "a waste of time and absolute garbage" how?
>Making exceptions for jewswhat board am I on?
>>24110771I'm not talking politics. You're reading too much into it
>>24110883what does it mean then to say someone with his bent has read a lot that I haven't?
>>24110900Its a totally neutral expression that should be taken at face value. You've read stuff he hasn't. Hes read stuff you haven't.
>>24110908ahh, I wasn't shaming him for not having read certain books, I was shaming him for a stance that would prevent him from ever approaching some of the greats
>>24110933Eh its as valid as any other. Everyone has their little filters for books even if they're not conscious of it. If you didn't it'd be overwhelming
>>24110294Catholic is usually a bigger red flag.
>>24110935I mean 1, I'm anti-anti-semitism, but like 2, it's a rule that leads to further untenable positions. is he not going to read literature where a Jewish character exists favorably? Is Ulysses out? Is he not gonna read Nabokov because his wife's Jewish? what about Sebald and his literary engagement with Jewishness? where does this end?
>>24110294No, I only read books written by Jews.
>>24110294I do, but people need to realize especially in nonfiction works they tend to leave things out in plain sight because they believe "goyim" to be illiterate and won't even bother to pick the book up. That and not every Jew is threatening, as outliers of any group Do indeed exist.
>>24111006this is schizo posting
I don't check, but I can always tell.
better to always assume the early life is what it of course is going to be in fact so not to enter into the unknowing read everything to know but not those who early life tells
I only read jewish authors. Fortunately that means I don't miss out on much.
