@tarkinness @Zlatti_71 Brother how does this justify America killing two hundred Iranian schoolgirls for a naked Israeli power grab for Lebensraum?
English
@Zlatti_71 And we have to explain why out homeland being invaded by Muslims isn’t normal, or a good thing, but does she care? Nope.

@Vergaenglich @writerofscratch @lisp4fun What a moronic statement. Why should every single anglophone in the world slavishly adore the US?

@scotthraines No you don't, he apes their style in the way that Polynesians remade fallen American/Japanese fighter jets out of wood and coconut shells. You would know this if *you were able to read*
English
As concerns style, he echos the greats before him beautifully, which means you have to have read the greats in order to understand what he’s doing, which is objectively remarkable if you know how to read.

Cormac McCarthy is a good metric for how well you can read—it’s not the faux literary fluff that gets praised today, but it’s also not readily apparent to the reader. So much is said in what is unsaid, so you have to really read. For example:
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️@christopherrufo
I read the first hundred pages of The Road last year, and read the first hundred pages of Blood Meridian this year, and in both instances, gave up, because the books never clicked. Lyrical writing, but the characters are reduced to way down Maslow's hierarchy, and the tone is so relentlessly bleak, with almost no humanity breaking through, it was difficult to feel anything besides the flint clicking against the cold steel in the overwhelming darkness. I know many of you love it, but to me, it's overwrought, overstylized, and overhyped.

@Antonio82114325 @sbodrojan Blood Meridian and the 'dinergoth essay' are similar in both being garbage that doesn't need to exist, very unsurprising that a groyper doesn't care about the beauty of the written word and the rape of Western literature though
English
@camphormoth @sbodrojan You're right, we should continue kvetching about Blood Meridian instead
English
dinergoth essay hilarious. it’s clearly runoff from the side of Substack that is all men who write trash maximalist sentences, desperate to opine on the state of the world with no any real ideology to speak of. So they choose to paint themselves as a noble, melancholic chaser

@meadandjuniper The sodium overload would fuck people up very quickly, there's a reason soups are served immediately before or with carbs
English
@Antonio82114325 @sbodrojan Shit writing doesn't salvage a (frankly tedious and unimportant) subject matter
English
@sbodrojan The writing is shit but it does touch upon a subject and underclass that hasn't really been discussed at all despite being widely recognized

The adulterer says to the adulteress in the middle of their adultery, "Did you know that most novels are about adultery?" They cum instantly.

@Bernstein It's true that there have been thousands of good novels about infidelity (indeed that is the core subject of the novel as a form) -- has anyone written a good polygamy novel? Maybe Samuel Delany but no one else comes to mind.

@alessiobenincas @wideawake_media Ellison's a Zionist centabillionaire and one of the most important power brokers in American politics, he's not 'some tech bro' and nothing about what he's doing is sleepwalking, maybe you're sleepwalking sure

@wideawake_media this is actually terrifying
we're really just gonna sleepwalk into a surveillance state because some tech bro made it sound convenient

Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison delivers a sales pitch for his company's new AI-monitored body cameras, which live stream footage back to headquarters and cannot be turned off.
"Citizens will be on their best behaviour, because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on."
"These are the kind of next generation systems we can build using AI."

@Apocryphal_Book Imagine having 'Apocrypha' as your display name and thinking that corncob seriously engages with Gnosticism. Go eat some dinosaur chicken nuggets & read the Nag Hammadi codices for the first time, though they might be a bit much for someone like you

Blood Meridian is mediocre and just not that interesting. Its meditation on the chthonism of evil comes off as either forced, edgy, adolescent or as apolitically conservative. One of the most disappointing readings I ever did, you all hype it too much.
BAUDRILLARD IS A BLACK GNOSTIC@AeonBaudrillard
Blood Meridian is absolutely better than Moby Dick. The latter is still Anglo-Catholic, a neurotic text, every page sullied and rendered powerless by the pus of "humor" or "whimsy"; the mandatory "Dialectical" filth. Whereas the former is American-Protestant through and through.
English
Have sent and deleted a few tweets in the last few days disparaging McCarthy but I should have kept them up. Blood Meridian is verbal diarrhoea and its apologists are coprophagous fleas. Of course this fàggot is a Baudr*ll*rd fan
