The state of literature in 2025 is beyond parody.

Why are they just rewriting Camp of the Saints?

Eh, I wish I cared honestly. Its the academics. Been saying that for awhile now.

Can we go more than two hours without /pol/niggers posting more outrage about about shit no one cares about?
>>
>>24783757
Yeah it's funny how this makes me nostalgic for 2010-2015 when I still felt even a little "don't you see how they're ruining culture!!!" hope/despair, hope because I guess I still felt something could be done by addressing it, despair because I felt like the whole world had gone mad and no one was addressing it

Since 2015 I've just been waiting for fascism to come and near 100% confident it will so I guess I've been a lot calmer

It’s been like 15 years of this crap who has the energy to care?

Nobody believes your dishonest portrait when an authoritarian system is actively doing everything claimed of fascism in the cause of miscegenation and faggotry, Moishe.

>>24783798
Please tell me about the time the government sent out paramilitary squads to force you to bend over and suck on some black dudes cock

The people in charge of these awards are a bunch of out of touch fags circle jerking to imagined oppression while they hold the levers of power.

You want fascism because a now inconsequentially tiny literati on the coasts read bad books? We already have fascism, its mass illiteracy and marvel movies. 10s of millions watch capeshit, have a sexual relationship with ChatGPT, haven’t read a page of a book in a decade and don’t know what Gaza is. After fascism kills the pink haired girl who annoyed you once, it also kills humanism and literature and Christianity. It buries human culture. The fascism of yesterday’s IG Farben is nothing compared to what’s been constructed today by Silicon Valley fascism, which has totally colonized the private, day-to-day human conscious experience, people can’t even have internal lives anymore, just doomscroll. You got what you wanted buddy. Just how the fascism of yesterday was never actually about le based Arno Breker homoerotic sculptures and trad architecture, today’s isn’t about white picket fence nuclear family home ownership, it’s just death. It always ends with death.

Tell me about the time a fascist paramilitary would have done this with a White dude‘s cock I guess? I don‘t know, a bit surprised by the speed at which you jumped to your porn fantasies.

I'm working class and pay zero attention to academics and their slop. I read literature for pleasure and personal fulfilment.

Maybe when every single piece of literature stops being alt left communist manifestos about how sucking dick and taking it up the ass is better than a homogenous society people will stop talking about how gay and racist contemporary literature is.

No.

These things aren’t incompatible. The Great Replacement was coined by a homosexual

That's not really fascism.
If you want to see what real IRL fascism looks like, come to live in Estonia for a year.
>13 of 14 signs of Umberto Eco's Ur-fascism present (even /pol/ has less of them)
>Reich's Mass psychology of fascism is proven correct daily
>Proves correct Adorno's Authoritarian Personality
>Proves first wave postmodernists like Foucault correct
>A nation size sample that proves the correlation between low IQ and right wing and fascism
A lot of you, Internet people, both /pol/ fascists and lefties, have actually no fucking idea what fascism is and how fucked up it is to live in a fascist country. You're all operating on fantasies.

Isn't the ultimate solution to go back to monarchy and aristocracy? Clearly representative democracy has proven to be an absolute disaster from a cultural and sociological perspective. In the end it was the reactionaries who were right.

>>24784705
I just looked at Eco's list and I see 12 of 14 signs here in the US.

If it's so bad, then where are the good writers? Where are the good books written by people on here? Where are the young men forming secret societies and intellectual circles like literally all the world leaders and artists before us?
>>
>>24784003
Why am I hearing about it then? Oh, because it was forced onto the mainstream until every single book on the market became a homogenized assault on the mind, instead of staying in the poofter corner where it belongs.

Well, speaking for myself: I've gotten about half a dozen short stories and about a dozen poems published under my own name. Mostly in small venues, and only one ever paid me serious money. I've tried to get published at some of the big dog places like the New Yorker and the Paris Review, but no dice. This despite one of my poems actually being nominated for a Pushcart Prize a few years ago.

I have a major work I've been working on in installments for five years now, and there doesn't seem to be anyone who wants to take a chance on publishing the first book, so my plan is to put it up on a website I'm having built tailor-made for it, sections at a time, releasing it serially. Fortunately I have a decent social media presence which should hopefully help me slowly build an audience, if people think the story is good.

None of the big dogs seem to want to take a chance on me so I'm going to try to get my stuff out into the world myself.

And yet, in the present age, the actual facts of the matter is that it is the Left that pushed for the legalization of gay marriage, and now pushes for the total abolition of marriage as a meaningful entity in civilization. All the while the Left, in turn, tries to say that men can become women, and women can become men.

How does your chart respond to that?
>>
>>24783746
Why are you pretending this is a controversial or even remotely new topic for literary fiction?
Wait, I think I have an idea.

Nobody is actually reading ANYTHING anymore. Its all just a potemkin village of propriety where the "correct" novels are lauded and everything else ignored. Its that vonnegut concept about the roulette wheel.

The only books being read anymore are womens romantasy slop trash.
>>
>>24785206
I read books! I'm reading Jacquest the Fatalist by Denis Diderot!

>pushes for the total abolition of marriage as a meaningful entity in civilization
Are you literally schizophrenic? No one pushes for that
>>
>>24785229
Are you capable of engaging with anything anyone says without immediately resorting to ad homs and incredulousness?
>>
>>24785242
It's not an ad hom it's an objective description, believing that the left pushes for the total abolition of marriage as part of its current political agenda is schizophrenic because it is not grounded in observable reality
>>
>>24785246
He said the total abolition of marriage as a meaningful entity.

It's a little hyperbolic but it's definitely not a far stretch from what the left is pushing for now ostensibly.
>>
>>24785246
the "left" promotes marriage only so far as it makes work for divorce lawyers.
