It's a good book.

But it's written by a black female, so the frog people and redpillers on here aren't going to like it.

Who, in all honesty, would want their name to be associated with this place?

yes, that one that one anon who has a scifi young adult book coming out soon from penguin

also, Tao lin

and I'm sure many of us (including myself) have been published in various mags, journals, and won competitions and so on...

None that have really posted there work. I know for a fact there are some people in here who have been published in some lit magazines because I've met them IRL, but evidently they don't brag about it.

I've had a short story get accepted to a lit mag before, wasn't that difficult.

>“Europe needs to demand of the incoming Muslims that they respect European values,” he says, and, “Europe cannot just open its borders, as some on the left demand out of a feeling of guilt.” Instead, “we” must ensure “that the streams of refugees flow in an orderly fashion,” and set up “reception centres in the countries bordering Syria, but also in Libya.” This, he insists, must be done “with the military.” In other words, Žižek wants to send European troops to Libya, Jordan, Lebanon and other states to imprison refugees there.

>Not 'Well spooked, my property'

Can't meme with the best? Then 404 like the rest

You're right though, unspook yourself OP

I know my statement was vague, but this is not about anything in particular, but what this man was about. He's more of a symbol than anything. So far, I've learned nothing from him. Maybe that's why he shot himself. How long can you regurgitate memes of manhood without exploring the implications of behavior? Hemingway seems like he was an empty man.

A piece's objective should be determined by its creator.

Confronting reality and 'making it better' is escapism

>>7822994
sure, but take for instance a city where "everything is bad": could someone write something without addressing such problems? the city is the world

Thanks for answering m8

Seeing as English to Japanese is fucked almost inherently, I imagine it's p bad.
Some languages translate better into others obviously.

>>7820659
it depends on if its prose or verse. verse is going to be translated a lot more loosely.

French and English have very different syntax. Don't get memed into thinking the value of a translation lies in its accuracy word to word, what matters is if it maintains the spirit of the text.

>>7820669
I like the vocabulary and clarity more in the English version though. I want to read more French but this book isn't very enjoyable in that language (or at least, in my translation).

How is this a simulacrum? Trump exists

>>7820040

He a media generated personality, he doesn't "exist" in the normal sense of the word. "Trump" the persona is a simulacrum.

>>7820052
Yes but Trump exists
If anything he's a 3rd order simulation

How is this even a question? We all aspire to be smarter not dumber.

Not me. I went too smart a couple yers ago and I've been trying to find my way back since then. Not easy, especially when you've gotta go as a far as me just to bring it back down to average, but the intellectual titan life isn't all it's cracked up to be

It's funny how America's ruling classes are boring ass neurotic white people, while Russia's leadership is entirely composed of OGs and would-be wacky James Bond supervillians.

4PT, obviously

If you can read Russian, read Foundations of Geopolitics
