This book is anti white horseshit. It would be right at home with the modern leftist college student, too bad the system has convinced them to hate anything remotely old and assume it's racist, ironically. I'm convinced melman or whatever his name is was an atheist, because he's preaching his own religion in this book and it's the religion of white genocide that's so en vogue
>>24982800I'm not seeing any textual analysis here to support your point. You have read your Empson and Brooks, right my fellow /lit/critic?
>>24982800Wtf are you babbling about? Post a passage that is "anti-white"
>>24982823There is a white whale they are trying to kill
>>24982821>>24982823"I turned in, and never slept better in my life. I felt a melting in me. No more my splinted heart and maddened hand were turned against the wolfish world. This soothing savage had redeemed it. There he sat, his very indifference speaking a nature in which there lurked no civilized hypocrisies and bland deceits. Wild he was; a very sight of sights to see; yet I began to feel myself mysteriously drawn towards him. And those same things that would have repelled most others, they were the very magnets that thus drew me. I'll try a pagan friend, thought I, since Christian kindness has proved but hollow courtesy.""Is it that by its indefiniteness it shadows forth the heartless voids and immensities of the universe, and thus stabs us from behind with the thought of annihilation, when beholding the white depths of the milky way? Or is it, that as in essence whiteness is not so much a color as the visible absence of color; and at the same time the concrete of all colors; is it for these reasons that there is such a dumb blankness, full of meaning, in a wide landscape of snows—a colorless, all-color of atheism from which we shrink? ... of all these things the Albino whale was the symbol. Wonder ye then at the fiery hunt?"Just to name a couple off the top of my head.
>>24982866You are just as deranged and fever-brained as the "modern leftists" you are criticizing. The first paragraph is just him stating appreciation for candid expression. The second paragraph is just expressing the power and paradoxical nature of the color white. You want to be a victim so bad it's pathetic
>>24982913>You want to be a victim so bad it's patheticNah I'd rather a book that's held up as the greatest American work not be anti white garbage honestly, that's preferential to the victim status it gives me imo, same with white genocide, I'd really rather my people not be systemically milked by the state, choked by a yoke bought by their taxes and contributions, marked for death very soon, I think I'd rather my beautiful white wife and children hold the world in their hands as they deserve than live as pariahs in a country their common ancestors built. But neat theory I guess little dude, you made an attempt and I want to recognize that
>>24982921>goes on a /pol/ rantDude, it's really not that deep. Please get medical treatment
>>24982921I feel bad for you children
>>24982926>>24982927
>>24982913Nigger, are you a newfag? How tf do you not realize this whole thread is bait?
>>24982823>But the sight of little Flask mounted upon gigantic Daggoo was yet more curious; for sustaining himself with a cool, indifferent, easy, unthought of, barbaric majesty, the noble negro to every roll of the sea harmoniously rolled his fine form. On his broad back, flaxen-haired Flask seemed a snow-flake. The bearer looked nobler than the rider. Though truly vivacious, tumultuous, ostentatious little Flask would now and then stamp with impatience; but not one added heave did he thereby give to the negro’s lordly chest.
>>24982941>>24982938How the fuck is it bait? I cite passages. Anyone who read the book and doesn't see it for the plain and open criticism of whiteness, colonialism and manifest destiny is a retard. Did you not read it then or are you simply too stupid to identify obvious themes the book beats you over the head with? If it's the latter don't respond, go apologize to your parents, I can't imagine how hard a life you've given them
>>24982949Weird how no one has ever interpreted Moby Dick as "anti-white" until you showed up. You're the savior of the white race lmao
>>24982952Idk bro it's as likely if not more that I'm just the first intelligent person to ever post here, but I'm optimistic you're right
>>24982943Shhh the leftists are pretending something that clearly happened didn't happen, as they're wont to do
>>24982955No, I am right. Out of all the book reviews I have seen of Moby Dick, no one has ever interpreted it as "anti-white". For example, you're equating "Christian" and "civilized" with "white". You're ejecting your own weird hangups about the world into literature. People like you make the lives of artists so insufferable; imagine you're trying to make an innocuous point and some deranged retard with a tip on his shoulders starts accusing you of promoting genocide. You are not smart. You are not deep. You are most likely schizophrenic. Get medical treatment and stop embarrassing yourself and wasting everyone's time
>>24982965>Words words wordsGonna wait for the cliffnotes of your posts bro, gonna plug them into ai later and laugh at them, thanks for wasting so much time saying so much dumb shit though you're probably a nice enough person if you didn't want people who looked like me and my children killed
>>24982968Are you underaged? Those "words, words, words" are written at a 9th grade level.
>>24982976Anon when people say stuff like that to you, as I'm sure they do often with the abundant cause you provide, we aren't complaining about the reading level of your content but rather the obnoxious length. Hope this helps you seem less autistic in the future, would be cool if you could fake it till you make it through life and find a wife and shit
>>24982981>obnoxious lengthIf you were intelligent, you should be able to breeze through what I've written. I'm starting to think this thread actually is bait. How foolish of me
Quick recap for the people joining us>Provide proofAnon provides proof>Y-you just want to be a victim!Nah I'd rather my people be left alone>No one else has made the that Moby dick is anti-white so it can't be true! That's ok I'll be the first>You're schizophrenic!*We are here currently>
>>24982989Please remember to be kind to your parents anon, I know people with kids like you and it's heartbreaking, they must be saints, and if you have the capacity to ease up and lighten their burden even a little I'd think very highly of you for making the effort.
>>24982941Yeah, you were right. The OP is almost certainly a child who's just trying to get attention.
>>24982866It’s been a while since I’ve read it, but I recall that in the passage where he talks about the colour white he mentions that the white race is sovereign over the others, so you are retarded
>>24982800the book is a mess, american nationalist editors made it something elseit got 4 song and dance numbers, in one the sailors bath in sperm
>>24983207I started reading a few years prior and it's absolutely amazing how bad most classics are. Ulysses is probably the worst shit ever written. You know my thoughts on Moby Dick, in fact I'd argue there's never been a good American novel, ever. Thoreau's work allows me to believe there was at least one worthwhile American philosopher, but in the realm of fiction it's all dogshit. I like the Russians ok, War and Peace is mostly a masterpiece, I like the French a lot, Stendahl is a top tier fiction writer with Rousseau being my favorite of all writers in general, but what do Americans gravitate towards? Shit like this and To Kill A Mockingbird. The original sin government created for it's slaves after it killed the church, the sin of slavery, has mind broken everyone in this country since almost the day of it's founding, unless some lost great works were destroyed or hidden from public view by means of state enforced ignominy by the critical suction cup of The Beast's media and entertainment tentacle.
>>24983261French sucks opinion discarded. Like 2 worthwile books in the whole self fellating country.
>>24982823The scene when Queequeg dives into the ocean to save the waycess kentucky-fried land lubber could have been ripped straight out of a tumblr blog, that's how cringe it was. The chapter even ends with "And then everybody clapped".
