How do I write like him, /lit/?
Learn Russian
Drink enough alcohol that you start to feel like shit and then write long, semi-coherent rants about how shitty you feel, wording them how you think someone who enjoys their own thoughts a little too much might say them. Then, when you're sober, put these rants in quotation marks and frame a relatively dry narrative around them.
spend years in a siberian labour camp
Revolt. Suffer. Love. Lose. Devote.But really, write like you.
be an epileptic
be on death row

Oh yes now that I realize this the joke is actually very funny and a worthy post, if only this was Reddit then I would make sure to upvote it. So what's the best way to handle that? I suppose the most widely used method is to just copy and paste it in other threads? I'm assuming that's what you do, but some clarification would be nice. Thanks in advance.

According to World Socialist Web Site, Žižek is now a member of the European New Right. Welcome, Žižek
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2016/02/08/zize-f08.html
>The starting point of Žižek’s tirades are the events of New Year’s Eve in Cologne, which he terms an “obscene carnival of the lower classes.” The incidents in Cologne have been systematically blown out of proportion by the media in order to whip up a hysterical campaign against immigrants and Muslims. To date, there is no evidence that anything happened other than what regularly takes place in similar mass gatherings where much alcohol is involved.
>...[Žižek] repeatedly warns the readers of Der Spiegel not to be swayed by sympathy for the fate of refugees. “Even if many immigrants are more or less victims who have fled from devastated countries, this does not prevent them behaving despicably.” And, “The fact that someone is at the bottom, does not make them automatically a voice of morality and justice.”
>The assumption that “behind the vicious circle of desire, envy and hatred” (feelings he sweepingly ascribes to immigrant youth) there lies “any deeper human core of global solidarity” Žižek calls “part of a naive, humanist metaphysics.”
>He fumes against “the politically correct liberal left,” which is mobilizing its resources to downplay the incident in Cologne, and refers to “efforts to enlighten immigrants” as “breathtaking stupidity.” They did not behave out of ignorance in Cologne, but “because they want to violate our sensitivities.”
>Following one of his idols, the French philosopher and Maoist Alain Badiou, Žižek divides mankind into “three kinds of subjects”–a “Western, ‘civilized, bourgeois, liberal-democratic subject”; “those who do not belong to the West and who are obsessed by their longing for the West”; and finally, “those fascistic nihilists whose envy of the West is transformed into a deadly self-destructive hatred.”
>The colonialist model of this scheme is obvious. On one side, the civilized West and the local elites who are obsessed with the “longing for the West”; on the other side, the barbarian savages whom the West must bring under control in cooperation with the local elites—the “white man’s burden”, as it was called by Rudyard Kipling. Under the banner of such conceptions, the imperialist powers have committed unspeakable crimes in the past 150 years and massacred millions of people.
>Žižek’s practical conclusions go exactly in this direction, as he explained in more detail in his interview with Die Welt. They would garner him applause at any Pegida rally and qualify him for membership in the far-right Alternative for Germany.

Zizek does have some weird thing about "capitalism with Asian values", which he insists is something dystopian and terrifying (and also, he says, "not Asian", but in that case why call it that?). While I wouldn't call him a rightist or anything dumb like that, nigga needs to embrace the joys of paternal state-capitalism and quit being so afraid of the shopping-mall-world it's building. Because he doesn't his conclusions are always mealy-mouthed post-Leninist vagueness.

No. Read Anna Karenina or The Death of Ilyan Ilvich. War & Peace is a bloated mess with almost no central coherence, two or three main characters who have almost nothing to do with the war sections, and a huge essay about war and the course of history that you'd be better off never having read.
I like Tolstoy. I do not like War & Peace. You'd do better to read his good stuff.

Hadji Murat is really good, probably my favorite, but I haven't read War and Peace.

You have to be intellectually advanced enough to understand existential absurdest humor to get it in it's entirety.
Existential absurdest humor isn't about the absurdism, but about how absurdism isn't because it's relatively normal but we've just adapted to it and only react to it when it's presented in a different context.
Is anyone involved in the argument about the stupid joke even still here?

Because the self-delusion of happiness is all we have in the bleak and painful world. If we commit to our own ordeal (Sisyphus pushing the boulder up the hill), then we have nothing to live for until we finally die and perish. The brief moments of happiness is all we have, so you better enjoy them, because we will be pushing boulders nonetheless.

During his first 20 months in Paris, Hemingway filed 88 stories for the Toronto Star newspaper.[37] He covered the Greco-Turkish War, where he witnessed the burning of Smyrna, and wrote travel pieces such as "Tuna Fishing in Spain" and "Trout Fishing All Across Europe: Spain Has the Best, Then Germany".[38] Hemingway was devastated on learning that Hadley had lost a suitcase filled with his manuscripts at the Gare de Lyon as she was traveling to Geneva to meet him in December 1922.[39] The following September, the couple returned to Toronto, where their son John Hadley Nicanor was born on October 10, 1923. During their absence, Hemingway's first book, Three Stories and Ten Poems, was published. Two of the stories it contained were all that remained after the loss of the suitcase, and the third had been written the previous spring in Italy. Within months a second volume, in our time (without capitals), was published. The small volume included six vignettes and a dozen stories Hemingway had written the previous summer during his first visit to Spain, where he discovered the thrill of the corrida. He missed Paris, considered Toronto boring, and wanted to return to the life of a writer, rather than live the life of a journalist.[40]
