>Yet the strongest feelings I associate with her are anger, contempt, and resentment. It was as if she reserved her positive emotions for works of art, and to a lesser extent their creators, and for people in distress at least six thousand miles away from her usual surroundings. She played the role of neighbor much less charitably than that of world citizen. The contents of daily reality exasperated her beyond endurance. She was unflaggingly rude to waiters, cab drivers, hotel clerks. After she was recognized by a diner cashier we’d bought sandwiches from, her displeasure was frightening. “He only knew who I was because he saw me on television,” she said disgustedly, as if unmasking a former concentration camp guard.> Reality is, for the most part, a great disappointment. Susan took it as a personal insult.Why was she such a cunt?
she wasn't getting fucked right, it makes femoids go insane (look: feminists)
>>25033288she was a europhile who desperately wanted to be accepted by europe's literary scene but who only could make friends with low-brow american writers like ginsberg. she resented america and anything that reminded her of america and its lower class.
Has the world ever seen a more vomit-inducing milieu than 20th and 21st century New York? If Johnson's London, 19th century Paris or renaissance Florence and Rome had to have a bizarro version of themselves, New York surely would have to be it. No wonder Henry Adams wanted the US army to hit it until it turned into the surface of the Moon.
>>25033305her come-uppance is that her son is a chud who pals around with magaworld
>>25033317Never heard this, QRD?

>Sontag was born Susan Rosenblatt in New York City, the daughter of Mildred (née Jacobson) and Jack Rosenblatt, both Jews of Lithuanian[4] and Polish descent.
>>25033357One, who doesn't know that Sontag was jewish, and two, why did you even need to look that up when you could have just...looked at her face? Look at that visage. Can you imagine it belonging to a gentile?
>Male: TOUGH GUY>Female: BITCH
>>25033370We all know instantaneously that Sontag is a jew but it's good to get it in writing.
>>25033372Strawman fallacy I said cunt not bitch
>>25033288Sounds like your average "progressive" desu
I can't tell you what's wrong with this one specifically, but as long as jewish lesbian liberals new-yorker are cunts everything is in order
>>25033288>What was her problem?Sontag wanted to be adored for being cultured and smart. She was deeply, deeply resentful of people who didn't think she was either, and her entire writing career sums to "let me sit at the cool kids table with the Frenchies! guys I'm one of you, I AM!!!" She never really succeeded, but the attempt makes her worth reading -- her nonfiction, not her fiction, which is so insufferably tryhard you just feel vaguely embarrassed for her
>>25033385It's an observation and you didn't counter it. The bitch/cunt with a dick is looked at fondly.
>>25033288>>25033314I do not exoticize the orientals, nor do I think of the middle east, the africans, balkans, or even europe as a whole. I have eyes only for NY, I fantasize about their rituals in the 'bodega'. I ascribe a savage noblesse to the way they go to Brooklyn and think themselves big artists. I invent votive intent in the placement of the homeless. I think Central Park, Wall Street, Times Square and Bushwick and shout and point sharawadgi at the streets connecting everything for the feng shui of the chinese has nothing compared to the exotic NY. I make accurate plates of the faces of a jewess, a wasian, a negro woman, a transgender chud, a gay neoliberal, a supposedly 'white' italian-american and evoke Herder's Ideen zur Philosophie der Geschichte der Menschheit, for the primitives really do know more than each one of us. And I, of course, view them in detail and resent my own, lamenting how advanced they are compared to us; they know vaping and ózempyc, substack and instagram stories, creative directeurs and autoficción, new sincerità and post-Ironie. I haven't once set foot on NY, I don't need to, my images are crystal clear, I've seen the plates, I've read the Histoires and the Narrazioni. I just think of NY.
>>25033516Women are meant to be seen and not heard. Men and even other women instinctively know that a loud bitchy cunt needs a backhand, some dick, and a baby to take care of.
>>25033516Yeah everyone loves men who are mean to waiters and taxi drivers
>>25033641>Women are meant to be seen and not heardThis is what ass holes would say about children, actually.>needs a backhand, some dick, and a baby to take care of.Let's prescribe this to loud bitchy men.>>25033669/lit/ chuds do indeed.
>>25033288>rude to pleb service workers (in particular, waiters)One of the most reliable, sure-fire tells of a genuinely shitty person. It never fails. Hadn't heard this detail before, tells me all I need to know about her as a human being. Because not only is it pointless, but it's downright stupid. You do it enough times, get a reputation for it at certain places, and they start fucking with you, with your food.
>>25033516Men and women are differentWhen men say and do asshole things they are in essence challenging anyone around them to a contest and confrontation. So there is an element of bravery. But women know they won't be hit.
>>25033641This nigga got a psychology degree from Hustlers University
>>25033940kek
>>25033288She was brilliant and she sounds amazing. I'm in love
>>25034438lesbian unfortunately, and im afraid she didnt go for trannies
>>25033920>But women know they won't be hit.Usually they're just killed so I guess this is true
>>25033288What's the sauce for this quote? Sounds fake desu
>>25033305Exactly. Love of French intellectualism goes hand in hand with despising people who live in rusted West Virginia trailer parks. The two are a dichotomy and I'm surprised no one has pointed that out yet.
>>25034699If you pit a gun to me I'd rather hang out with the trailer park folk than French intellectuals
>>25034610Gary Indiana's book I Can Give You Anything But Love. It's quoted herehttps://artreview.com/the-monstrous-susan-sontag-camp-beckett/
>>25033357>>25033370Why they live wildly and rent free in your mind— are you a zionist (i.e a bizarre combo. of communist and fascist) ?
>>25034743>communist fascist So, a national bolshevik?
>>25034720Same. I know people out here in Ohio who live literally hand to mouth. Figures like Foucault and Derrida can be useful for theorizing, but I'd rather hang out with my friend John who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks in Warren.
