Thoughts on this based old pederast?
>>
>>25014403
Based but the cut-up technique got tired quickly. I enjoyed Cities of Red Night but he had to be too Burroughs-esque at the last part, which made me lose interest. Going to read the Western Lands soon, though.
>>
Interesting guy, minus the gay shit.
>>
>>25014403
Not as entertaining as Edgar Rice Burroughs.
>>
>>25014403
>lefty who kills wife, bribes judge, is let off the hook in the states because is left, says sorry, immediately moves to Africa to fuck slave boy who he also kills, which he also gets away with
He is literally an egregore born of everything conpiracychuds believe about lefties, who was somehow cast back in time.
>>
>>25014656
Or maybe faggot lefties are serial killers in waiting. Stereotypes exist because they match reality.
>>
>>25014656
Burroughs wasn't a lefty, retard. You're the same anon spouting this in the last Burroughs thread, aren't you?
>>
Based on his writing, if he hadn't killed his wife, no one would know who he was.
>>
>>25015458
>Homosexual drug addict
Sounds like a leftie to me
>>
>>25014540
Cut-up applies to the philosophy of language itself. Meaning and intent can be extracted. There is no 'random' in language. Traces remain. Burroughs was a more concise Derrida. In fact, he wrote of the schizo-discource before it was cool with the Frenchies. America is always ahead.

But, you have to understand his main thesis was FREEDOM (pure american ethos) and exiting control. He may not have achieved it but that was his underlying motif. No one has balls anymore.
>>
>>25015533
Wow you are genuinely retarded
>>
>>25014656
He was a libertarian, retard
>>
The world drifts toward random insect doom
>>
>>25014403
My eternal boy and the progenitor of my style.
>>
>>25015533
Is your IQ in the 80-90 range?
>>
>>25015396
He was right-wing, like most 21st century homosexual writers..
>>
>>25015607
>he wasn’t left!
There’s a billion videos on the internet of every commie from 1950-1980 fawning over him as the godfather and hero of the revolution, he’s brought up by everyone anarchist and commie writer on firing line, nice cope though
>>
>>25016100
*20th
>>
>>25014403
i like his ideas but his prose is so underwhelming, unless he's talking about guys cumming as they're executed. you can tell he puts his all into those scenes. really presaged the internet with those.
>>
>>25016328
Commies also idolise Dostoevsky and Nietzsche
>>
>>25016100
>>25016341
He was the archetype for the twenty-first century schizoid man.
>>
>>25016381
>mother was a literal leader and stood for election as a American communist party candidate
It’s like lefties think no one reads but them.
>>
>>25016480
I'm FAR RIGHT.
>>
>>25016480
Based AI misinformation reposter.
>>
>>25016482
>im far right!
>I love this junkie who killed his loving wife so he could fuck teenage boys
What is your understanding of the word “right” exactly?
>>
>>25016500
BEAUTY. VIOLENCE. MASCULINITY. THE WILL TO POWER.
>>
>>25014403
I read 3 books. Junky and Naked Lunch, I think they both lived up to the hype. Queer was kind of bad.
>>
>>25015543
Underrated.
>>
>>25014656
>>25015533
He was libertarian-conservative (the through line of his politics was anti-authoritarianism).

You can't really appreciate Burroughs until you've heard his Thanksgiving Prayer available on Youtube. One line to give you the flavor:

thanks for the KKK, for nigger-killing lawmen feeling their notches, for decent church-going women with their mean, pinched, bitter, evil faces
>>
>>25016701
Is this supposed to put me off him because he is le woke or some bullshit?
>>
>>25016573
It's my impression that Naked Lunch is just pure, unadulterated nonsense. Is that true?
>nonce sense
lol
>>
>>25016328
He wasn't leftwing. He was libertarian-conservative.
>>25016480
No she wasn't. Burroughs's parents were rich WASPs.
>>
>>25016504
based mishima anon
>>
>>25017169
No. Like sure it's insane and convoluted with minimal plot, but you won't forget the experience. It's helpful to think of it as an anthology or a collection, but if you're coming in with an A then B then C mindset you'll have a bad time.
>>
>try put on your wants when this guy shows up and says don't try it
"This ends. Now."

How do you respond??
>>
>>25015607
>what if your wife consents doe
>>
>>25017333
Anon, you might want to call an ambulance because I think you just had a stroke.
>>
>>25017346
If you think that then you must risk an aneurysm reading Burroughs
>>
>>25017360
You're retarded and bad at writing. Simple as.
>>
>>25016756
Anybody who thinks a heroin user is a conservative is really not thinking at all.
>>
>>25017608
Conservatives use stimulants
>>
>>25017608
is this really how feel about drugs? how old are you? do you get out much?
>>
If Burroughs were alive today he would defo be a Democrat voter FYI.
>>
>>25017608
Being against drugs is a liberal superstition. Ernst Jünger used them extensively. They are a traditional religious experience. “Conservatives” are just golems (Whig puritans)
>>
>>25017631
This. He would not awoo and anyone who thinks otherwise is kekable
>>
>>25017608
explain RFK jr?
>>
>>25017631
He wouldn't vote at all

>Democracy is a disease and the bureaus are it's cancers
>>
Besides his wife and Kiki, how many other people do you think Burroughs killed?
