Literarily speaking do so many writers tend to be LARPers and posers?Take Cormac Mccarthy for instance>yankee born, irish catholic by blood>wealthy lawyers son, grew up in a large house and went to an upstanding high school>degree in liberal arts at a good college>urbanite who never experienced violence in his life>proto woke (see suttree)>chose to larp as a poor southern hillbillyi don't think mccarthy ever shot an animal or rode a horse or got into a bar brawl in his entire life
That's why I appreciate Melville and Pynchon>spent years on a ship, including a whaling one>CIA connections, participated in MKUltra
>>25347833pynchon is the biggest larper of all time
>blood determines religionlolwut, why are people so fucking stupid
>>25347804>don't think mccarthy ever shot an animal or rode a horse or got into a bar brawl in his entire lifePeople who do these will never write good literature. They can barely even read
>>25347854Yeah, Irish people being catholic is central to irish identity you retard.
>>25347941Religion is a choice and Irish people were worshipping pagan gods and Fomorians and shit before your meme religion lmao
>>25347944>Religion is a choicetell that to a kike>your meme religion lmaofulcrum of the greatest civilisation on earth, the best one yet
>>25347833In Melville's case, the whole reason he went whaling in the first place is to prove he wasn't a pussy and could actually deal with that shit.>>25347870People who are deeply involved in art can partake in what regular people think of as the real world, but their imaginations are always intensely important and vivid and a contemplative life is naturally conductive to the exercise of this.
>>25347804Honestly I believe the very existence of celebrities is a gigantic psyop to tell the common cattle that if you work hard you have a shot at social mobility. That's why the kikes will do everything they can to make niggers famous and rich. It's a way to tell the plebs, look, if this stupid nigger can become rich, then you aren't rich too because you're worthless. keep slaving away, goy. this lie is worth trillions of dollars. the whole world runs on it
>>25348031>bro, like, celebrities are used by the elite to control and, like, placate the masses>isn’t that crazyYou can try to hide how naive and profoundly retarded you are by aping the vernacular of regulars here, but this is genuinely a Redditor insight and you should be ashamed for sharing your inane thoughts to the world. You are genuinely dumber than the faggots you are trying to look down upon.
>>25347804if he spent his time shooting animals from the horseback after a bar brawl, he wouldn't have time to think and write, would he? bar brawlers can't write for shit.
>>25347944Catholicism was central to Irish identity.And the irish converted from paganism to christianity with pretty much no resistance.
I'm not a big fan of the Irish.
writers are faggots.who'd have known?
he was also a bum who refused to work and support his family
>>25348059no I am not saying celebrities are used by governments, I am saying that the entire entertainment industry exists as a psyop before profit
>>25348207Never mentioned governments in that reply to begin with, are you physically retarded? >I am saying that the entire entertainment industry exists as a psyop before profitAnd I am telling you that your surface-level observations have been painfully obvious to everyone else, for decades. It’s not a clandestine psyop if even a teenage girl could tell you how celebrity media distorts reality. And why add that qualifier “before profit” when you’ve already mentioned “this lie is worth trillions of dollars,” you can’t even keep these retarded observations consistent. How embarrassing.
>>25348286ohh yeah whatever I'm saying has been obvious to everyone for decades, maybe centuriesI am such a simpleton, forgive me anon
mccarthy was probably abused or neglected by his family so he decided to larp as a poor rural drifter in life and his fiction melville is much less pretentious, but IIRC his first works were hyped up adventure novels based on stuff he allegedly did
>>25347804plenty of gangster rap out there if some juvenile idea of "authenticity" is the most you can get out of art
>>25348317Enjoy your slop.
>>25348310You’re a pseud regurgitating Reddit-tisms, how you’ve stumbled upon this board is a true mystery.
>>25348336you're a shitskin aren't you?
>>25348342>projectionYou’re a third worlder that can’t even pretend to have insight on how the average westerner thinks, which is why you think shit like this is mind-blowing. Please, elaborate on how the entertainment industry lies saar. Lmfao
>"there are no good writers anymore">look inside>nobody is adventurous anymore
>>25348317wise>>25347804I respect people who do this successfully. don't we all want to transcend our selves?
>>25347804>The poets, as you know, tell us that they get their honey-songs from honey-founts of the Muses, and pluck from what they call Muses’ gardens, and Muses’ dells, and bring them to us, like honeybees, on the wing themselves like the bees; and what they say is true. For the poet is an airy thing, a winged and a holy thing; and he cannot make poetry until he becomes inspired and goes out of his senses and no mind is left in him; so long as he keeps possession of this, no man is able to make poetry and chant oracles. Not by art, then, they make their poetry with all those fine things about all sorts of matters—like your speeches about Homer—not by art, but by divine dispensation; therefore, the only poetry that each one can make is what the Muse has pushed him to make, one ecstatic odes, one hymns of praise, one songs for dance or pantomime, one epic, one satiric iambic; in every other kind each one of them is a failure. For not by art do they speak these things, but by divine power, since if an art taught them how to speak well in one kind, they could do it also in all the other kinds. Therefore God takes the mind out of the poets, and uses them as his servants, and so also those who chant oracles, and divine seers; because he wishes us to know that not those we hear, who have no mind in them, are those who say such precious things, but God himself is the speaker, and through them he shows his meaning to us.
