What is next for lit?
The Marxists are still here, the reactionaries are growing and there are no Muslims at all
I have not seen a lick of Islam on here.
These days our meme seems to be Gaddis. DFW and Nietzsche are as omnipresent as ever, as well.
>>7965705
Gassposters are growing in number too, but that's more of a good thing than a bad thing.
>>7965717
Gass is the fucking worst. I got memed into reading his books, such a waste of time. It's actual literary masturbation. Gaddis was great though
>>7965701
The Muslims here will post those anti-Dawkins threads from time to time.
I miss Marxist /lit/ .. : (
I am glad Stirner bros have moved on
Not a big fan of this Gass shit at the moment. Guessing its coming from all the DFW bros watching his interviews and hearing DFW namedrop him in like every fucking interview
Not seeing the Islam love either

>It's actual literary masturbation
Honestly I don't know why you would read anything else. Get your pappy to tuck you in if you want a story.
Nearly all the Christposting was/is Catholic, too. Not exactly what I'd call 'reactionary,' though I guess you could make the point that the Church is the most reactionary institution on Earth.
>>7965737
Dawkins as a public figure fascinates me because of how closely he has followed the slow evolution of this certain demographic of STEM-type libertarians into the birthing and still uncertain neo-reactionary culture. Though in a kind of old English man way of his own.
I think a lot more people than Muslims hate him these days.

If this is irony this fucking brilliant. Capitalism and Communism being both Western European impositions on the Orthodox peoples of the Russian Empire and its surroundings, taking the role of a Communist in the fight against Capitalism hurting them is like giving a leech to somebody you have infected with a disease, knowing it will kill them.

The first time I've actually laughed at a 4chan image in a long time. That's pretty inspired.
But yeah, /lit/ is certainly not Muslim; I think it's still on its (Anglo-)Catholic, Eliot-influenced phase (even though most people here are not literate enough to have actually read Eliot). I think that the Kabbalah and Toranic studies should come into vogue next, perhaps along with a paradoxically increased worship of antisemitic Modernists like Pound, Eliot, etc.

>>7965941
The antisemitism of Pound and Eliot is purely coincidental. The trauma of WW1 made it a very popular belief.
>>7965757
hahaha, yeah right
basically the anti-feminists of the board hated that their left wing stance on lots of things would have led them to also be feminist. and rather than that, they did a 180 and went full church since it institutionalizes anti-feminism. accordingly they take on all the baggage of christianity just for the 'benefits' of being anti-feminist
/lit/ is children
>>7965693
Nah it was liberalism -> Christianity -> Marxism
Next is probably Jewish mysticism of Eastern philosophy

I'm a radical volkisch feminist. Patriarchy is an alien Semitic system that usurped the aryan goddess cult.
>>7965780
I could see /lit/ trying to move towards a sincere expression of Hellenic paganism.

>>7968443
not exactly, most of them seem to be naive liberal materialists, too naive as to be aware of their own ideology. ie. is a weird combination of 60s individualism, neoliberal/randian ethics and a reaction to their parents' christianity. As the liberal democratic order crumbles, libertarianism moves to its logical but at the same time somewhat paradoxical conclusion. ie. neofeudalism, neoreaction

>unified by support for Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump [...] and anti-democratic thought.
How could a group possibly be unified by a brazen populist and anti-democratic thought at the same time?
>>7968724
Not neccesarly, most of the people who embrace that label are either authoritarian fascists or nationalistic anarcho-capitalists, who merely see Trump as the candidate who's closer to their ideas. Much like many in the far-left support Sanders when he's more of a social democrat.

what's that?
The right cultural shift has brought a lot of Bible post recently. Finally /lit/ is taking the scriptures seriously, always with the caveat of only being interested it its impact on the western world or its literary quality.
