Why do SJWs not realize that Ignatius J. Reilly is a parody of them, not of conservatives?

>narcissistic
>useless degree
>obese
>political "activist"
>sexually deranged

This is a parody of college SJWs decades before they came into full bloom. It's like they're too autistic to realize that Ignatius is just an upside down version of themselves meant to highlight the stupidity of collegiate idealism.
>>
No, the girl whatserface is a parody of SJWs, Ignatius is a parody of us.

>implying they're not two parts of the same whole
>>
>>8278811
Are you dense? Ignatius is literally /pol/ before the internet existed.
>>
>>8278826
Yes but not the same part.
>>
Implying coservatards aren't 50 Shades of kid touching, bdsm, bathroom homo sex depravity.
>>8278823
This guy gets it.
John K. O. was writing about himself, exagerrated and simplified for comedic effect.
>>
>>8278823
Are you serious? Man, I really have to read this.

ignatius was reactionary as fuck.
>>
>>8279139
Ignatius fapped to the memory of his dead dog or something, dont remember.
>>
>>8278823
>>8278826

These.

It's fucking artful. They're literally made for each other, /pol/ and Tumblr. A hellish romance.
>>
Ignatius and his girlfriend are caricatures of two sides of society back then, as well as having their own personalities.

Thier relationship is meant to be a joke that these two extremes are made for each other.

These days, it would be like a fat stormfronter calling everyone a cuck, dating a blue haired sjw who hopes to turn him to her mindset. It's clear in the novel that Myrna doesn't really give a shit about the minorities she's calling oppressed, she drops them immediately.

A modern Ignatius would live online, and the two would meet online, and they'd probably be too afraid to meet, because unlike 65 where you had to go out and do things for sustenance, you don't anymore.
>>
This book makes me want to eat hot dogs.
>>
>>8279250
The dog was the only good, meaningful relationship he ever had. He wasn't simply masturbating to a dog. He was masturbating to the loving relationship he could never have with any human.
>>
>>8279139
You have been promoted. You are no longer Lt. Obvious, you are now a captain.
My point was: libtards do not have a monopoly on perversion as OP indicated
>>
>>8278840
>>8279139
>>8279250
That's perfect for Ignatius. The only things that are wrong, are things Ignatius doesn't do.

Just like reactionary faggots who hate faggots abd traps but see nothing wrong with incest or barely legal stuff.

The book described Ignatius jacking off to his dead dog, and it describes Ignatius being bored with his masturbation because he's done it so much and learned everything he can about doing it.
>>
>>8279288
Yeah, they really do deserve each other.
>>
>>8279312
>barely legal
too old, silly
>>
>>8279115
It's a funny book and a quick read, definitely check it out

It's like notes from the underground with a little more narrative and an american social commentary that is quite relevant
>>
If you think the point of the book is to figure out "x represents y and w represents z" then you've missed the point.
>>
fuck that myrna minx dee-generate

ho-hum
>>
>>8278823
This guy gets it
>>
>>8278811
I'd say he's definitely more of a conservative figure

I know because I can feel in my bones that I'm being made fun of when I read it

Which is fine and probably good for me
>>
>>8279250
He didn't just fap to the memory of the dog, he fapped to a fantasy of it licking his dick.
>>
I don't understand, at the beginning his mom sells his hat, but later that night he's wearing it again. Did I misread that scene?
>>
>>8283108
I believe so. His mom sells her own hat. Ignatius has a disgusting hat that makes people think he's homeless.
>>
>>8278823
True dat.
>>
>>8282962
what? nah. he longs for a king to rule the land, he is no conservative. he's a post modern elitist.
>>
>>8283246
Plenty of tinfoil alt right fedoralords want a king. They believe the king with absolute power would put an end to "Degeneracy." They want the king to look like them and act like them.

They essentially want a dictator, which is the endgame of conservativism.

Ignatius would be a Holy Roman Empire spamming /his/ poster as well.
>>
>>8283257
>Muh "you are with me 100% or you are not with me at all" logical fallacy
>>
>>8283254
It's the endgame of both sides of the spectrum. Putting a dictator in power to force conservatism is the same as one to enforce socialism.
>>
>>8283267
Did you just ignore the content of the comic?
>>
>>8283254
The endgame of conservatism is nothing of the sort. You are very foolish.
