Will Borges's reputation ever recover from the recent attacks against him?
>>24688614>Twitter userNah, he'd be one of us.
I already liked him but now I like him even more.
Yeah, because he sucked anglo cock so he will always be well regarded by the literary globohomo
>>24688625he spoke the truthEnglish is simply better than Spanish (when used right)
Wtf he was actually based??? I'm gonna read him now
>>24688617This. To be a twitter user you have to be a communist tranny or an Indian Elon Musk cocksucker, neither which are based.
>>24688659He never said English was better than Spanish. He did say German was the ideal language, though.
>>24688614A typical /trv/ fag? What's so special about him?
>>24688614The most overrated South American writer ever
>>24688614All opponents of Hitler are neolib fags in practice regardless of how they justified it to themselves, so yes.
A real life example of the arson, murder, and jaywalking trope.
>>24688614I actually didn't know any of this about him. Now I like him more.
What's wrong with not liking football??
Alright, maybe I'll read him
>>24688614>racistDon't give a fuck if he said something about brazilians or niggers or whatever.>anti-populistElitism is good.>hated footballSo???>married kawaii desuBased.
>>24688614/pol/posting, only the first thing is arguably "bad," but probably doesn't mean what whoever wrote that thinks it means.
>>24688614chat is this true? He was a virgin until elderly? that changes my entire reading of him. I assumed because of his knife violence he loved to fuck and the knife was a penis.
>>24688880Borges was actually something of a bloodless intellectual. He was slight and weak in his younger years, and he'd spend time at his grandparents' house reading from their vast library.
>>24688614wtfhe's literally me
In practice, populism is just sheep herding, a way to get votes. Regardless of your views on the elite it is difficult to see populism as good.
>>24689188If for the sake of argument we pretend you're right, it's still better to have TPTB pretend to care about you than "I'm going to make your life worse, but studies show you should vote for me, you're not a fascist are you?"
>>24688788i never heard he had a japanese wife either. i think it's a lie. in any case, the man was blind so he could not tell if she had slanty eyes or not
>>24689188Populism is useful. If the elite are all legitimately evil, like our current elites tend to be, populism can be wielded as a weapon to turn the masses into a hammer to break the elites' control.Obviously some elites are inevitable, but we need NEW elites, and for that we've first got to get the old elites out of the way. Destruction is going to have to come before rebirth. Twas ever thus.
>>24689205I might be a bit on the naive side but I think if they did not pretend and literally said "I'm going to make your life worse, but studies show you should vote for me, you're not a fascist are you?" I don't think they would get elected. >>24689235I did not say it wasn't useful.
