College

And fuck women and niggers. They belong in the kitchen and fucking Africa, respectively

Spoken just like a Marxist retard. There is nothing wrong with women and black people besides the leftist ideology that has infected and ruined many of them. Conservative Christian women and black people are fine. You freakish monsters are the ideological equivalent of wolves picking the weak off of the flock of normal people.

Mary Shelly was into incest because of Wollstonecraft’s death.

FULLY AUTOMATED LUXURY GAY SPACE COMMUNISM. How do you do fellow comrade. Fuck Drumpf. Nice to see another enlightened denizen of r/communism on this alt-Reich /pol/tard hate speech site. There is a spectre haunting Veeky Forums; the spectre of dank communist memes! Am I right, comrade? DONALD DRUMPF, KKK, RACIST, SEXIST, ANTIGAY.

I bet you loved Milo

Milo is a Sodomite. I've never been a fan.

What are you even trying to say? Go back to leftypol with this degeneracy. There is nothing factually wrong with saying that the white man is superior to women and nonwhites

Am I being triple memed right now?

who created the white world? Who invented the masterpieces of art, the culture, the civilization, the technological innovation, the medicine, the nuclear bomb? Men. White men.
Women spread their legs, that was their contribution. As for Africa, well need I say more?

but mansa musa

Had to read Nightwood by Djuna Barnes. It was just a bunch of incoherent garbage written by a 1930's tumblrista lesbian.

They had me read the Heptameron before reading the Decameron and didn't even give us Chaucher, u fkin kidding me?

>Who invented the masterpieces of art, the culture, the civilization, the technological innovation, the medicine, the nuclear bomb?
Jews.

Everytime there is a thread on Veeky Forums with a bit of political content there you are spitting shit trying to be funny. Why don't you do that on /pol/ leftard

Proceeds to go home and boot up a game made by a Japanese company.

yep thats why i stopped going there

"/pol/ is mostly niggers"

lol, back in highschool I took AP Lang and Lit where all we did was write ON PAPER. And I actually developed strong writing skills, and it was NOT EASY. A lot of the STEM nerds got 50s and the average was around 75. I was better at AP Lit than lang, in Lit I got 91s.

Meanwhile, I took two English classes in college. First one was mandatory "writing" class where we typed up bullshit essays, which were graded mainly for completion. Second one, I willingly took because it was called "Rhetoric and Grammar", I wanted to follow Peterson's advice on leaving college with strong writing skills so I figured I'd take a class to brush up on them.

Then entire class is a joke and has nothing to do with writing. It's LITERALLY postmodernist neoMarxist propaganda. First, the 2 weeks of class was mainly about getting to know each other's names. Then the class was about politics, "dialogue", how our identities influence dialogue, and E-M-P-A-T-H-Y. What a joke. We've got a final project in the damn class and I got a group with 3 other women (there were only 4 men, including me, in the entire class and 1 is hyper cucked, a 5th guy bailed out when he could) and they unilaterally decided to do "rape culture".

Fuck college, learn to write in highschool kids! I had hopes that the class would improve later, but it just got worse. Hate every bitch in that class. Most useless class I ever took it college, the only thing I got out of it was that I can now FIRMLY CONFIRM, that they whole Marxist propaganda infesting English class is absolutely true. I'm a chem major so I didn't realize it before, but now I know it's absolutely true.

I didn't buy the book and skipped class on the days we were supposed to talk about it.

its good to read things you don't agree with.

Yeah this. The problem I've noticed is that both SJWs and /pol/yps refuse to even engage with shit they disagree with, and don't even bother trying to dismantle it with its own logic. It's anyways muh feelz over actual reason. The amount of anti intellectualism going around these days is fuckin worrying

The "how to I counter "X" argument threads" make me especially angry

>"how do I counter marx's materialism"

Read some books and work it for yourself

It's good to engage with people you disagree with, but it's a waste of time to engage with maniacs and ideologues that come to you in bad faith.

you got triggered at the jew bits didn't you? keke

Tbh I wish I was a mod so I could enforce some fuckin discussion standards here. Veeky Forums could actually become a place for intellectual discourse instead of the shit palace it currently is.

if the mods just enforced the actual rules on this board in a semi-consistent way it could be a decnt board

fuck up you circle-jerking mongrel shit-cunt.

this sounds awesome, actually

Hey man, why don't you want you engage with me? Don't you believe in discourse and logic? The amount of anti-intellectualism going around these days is fucking worrying.

I believe debate and discourse is important. I believe that polemicists are parasites who utilise the medium of language and destroy it from the inside out. they should be hunted down and exterminated.

...

Not looking to start shit here, but I was literally told that any other alternatives to this were wrong because they were racist.
My lecturer was kind of new though and was spilling spaghetti when he said it so I'm not sure if he was having trouble "teaching" something he didn't agree with or just expected some form of approval for what he'd said.

Had to read it twice. I wrote a paper on the formal aspects of it and the teacher gave me a C because she wanted it to be on the social parts. She had never mentioned that before.

...

this but unironically
true master race (+chosen people)

But you cant tell who "comes to you in bad faith" unless you read some of their stuff. You cant just be told what they are about, you need to figure it out for yourself (by reading their thoughts).

You're basically saying they are crazy ideologues because you are scared that if you read their stuff, you will like it and wont be able to refute it and might change your mind about something or, god forbid, be more informed about the subject from different angles.

FPBP

What are some alternatives?

Humanities in the USA has nothing to do with literature basically you will get mindpozzed by the managerial gynocracy and end up all the worse for it. Your classmates have likely read nothing but bell hooks and Harry Potter . And btw bell hooks is a self described fan of self help literature. Funny how postfordist ideological apparatuses end up overlapping.

sadly this, stormniggers hate Jews because they gave their golden boys a run for their money and won

>things that didn't happen

Why not go to a college that's better suited towards you? You do know that there are still all male, conservative, and almost entirely white schools, right?

I think he's talking about the people assigning them rather than the books themselves.
>E-M-P-A-T-H-Y
It's usually beat to disregard the thoughts of anyone who uses this word. They have nothing worth hearing.

I have a masters degree in english literature and this is 100% true. I know people with PHDs in English Lit that call John Green their favourite author, I'd say maybe 80% of the grad students in my department only read YA fiction

When I took English 1102 in university we read the New York Times opinion pages.

fair enough, i still maintain my point that people should read things they dont agree with.
for example, I'm reading Rise and Fall of the Third Reich right now and I dont agree with National Socialism ideology (surprising, I know). I'm just interested in learning what they were really all about

by William Shirer?
you know that book just brutally attacks Hitler with ad hominems almost every second page right

You can get a good idea of whether or not an author is writing in good faith by doing a little research on your own. I googled Claudia Rankine, flipped through a copy of Citizen at the bookshop and decided she wasn't worth my time. Look at this picture. How do you argue with something like that? It's not poetry, it's a political screed. There's no attempt to change anyone's mind. There's no way to refute it except for retrying the Eric Gardner case with a bunch of leftist freshmen and sophomores. It's just an angry old black woman assigning collective blame.

>mindpozzed by the managerial gynocracy

lmfao this is great

No that was the only part I liked because I found it hilarious. I got triggered by the Doctor. He appears in ever chapter to ramble incoherently. Since he appears in every chapter and since his longest rambling takes place approximately midway through the book he is clearly important to the novel. But what am I supposed to get from him if nothing he says make sense? He doesn't respond to people's dialogue and no one responds to his dialogue. It's all just miscommunication. No one listens to him and he doesn't listen to anyone. I have no clue why TS Eliot lost his shit over this book. I now have little respect for him. Not only does he rip off Ulysses but he backs a piece of garbage as one of the 20th century's greatest novel. This book is garbage and needs to be forgotten. It's only resurfaced in recent years due to TS Eliot backing it and because she was a female modernist writer in the early 20th century.

Goddamn this fucking board is ruined.

People questioning academics has totally ruined the board?

I had to read The Secret History, talk about exaggeration and bullshit!

Leftist academia has unquestionable dogmatic authority, didn't you know?

I know this is a joke, but you're completely right.

That's why we have to defer to them whenever they advocate for ideologies hostile to us. Doing otherwise degrades the board.

Marxism really is just a religion for degenerates

If we use the magic spell "go back to /pol/" enough, then we may one day be free of all heresy.

>Waaah I'm being forced to read outside of my intellectual comfort zone, someone please give me texts that coddle me in an echo chamber of my own opinions

>Bell Hooks
Man I forgot about that. Just triggered my ex-girlfriend PTSD brah.

I don't think there would be as much complaint if universities were accepting of other points of view and open debate, rather than being leftist indoctrination centers.

Most books rooted in intersectionality have less depth than the Twitter posts they inspire. Reading them is intellectually insulting if anything.

>mindpozzed
i'm gonna use that from now on

So if I'm getting this right, if a six foot tall leftist academia came over and slapped your gf on the ass you'd just let it happen and then complain to /pol/ about it later

should have pick stem my lad

Academia is practically the fourth branch of government in the US. It's naive to underestimate its influence.

If I didn't want my career ruined, probably.

>picked stem
>I'm a sexist, woman-hating, misogynistic, male-elitist for not letting women cheat off me on tests or for not doing their homework for them
>I'm a sexist, woman-hating, misogynistic, male-elitist who thinks women can't do stem for letting women cheat off me and helping them with their homework

Sure sound like oppression to me. I can't imagine the nights you've cried yourself to sleep thinking, "why did I have to be born with these opinions? Why can't they accept me for who I am? Just cause I think niggers should be deported and women should be placed in concentration fuck camps for incels doesn't mean I'm not deserving of love and respect too."

Why the fuck wouldn't you help a hot stemchick with her homework? Fucking gay

>I had "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" by Mary Wollstonecraft assigned 8 times during my undergrad.

Well, to be fair, this is as much a leftism issue as it is a teachers-being-lazy issue. With some exceptions, profs are not that creative when it comes to planning the syllabus, plus they don't communicate with each other as they should, which leads to a ton of repetition. I had "Eveline" by Joyce and Moll Flanders by Defoe assigned to me 4 and 3 times respectively during the same fucking semester. Many classmates handed in the same paper multiple times. For most teachers, SJWism is just a newfangled facet of a more general stupidity.

Too true. If any of you are currently majoring in humanities, the best way to identify the 1% of classmates who are not idiots is to see who's talking and who's not during classes. Most intelligent people stay relatively silent these days because they know their ideas will not be validated or even acknowledged in that environment.

I can't speak for everyone here, but I don't even think I have an intellectual comfort one. I just like dialog and good books. I wouldn't even mind reading bell hooks or Ta-Nehisi Coates in class if they weren't being taught as sacred texts, which they most definitely are.

Hell, I even like one Toni Morrison book (The Bluest Eye), but I also think she's senile and has descended into self-parody, which is a completely impossible opinion to have in modern academia, where she's universally hailed as the Best Author Alive.

>Sodomite.
Lighten up buddy.

>Funny how postfordist ideological apparatuses end up overlapping.
What does this sentence mean?

Looks like you have overblown your own perception of Morrison. Check out Sula, Song of Solomon, and some of the various critical essays she's put out. She dipped after the mid 90s but the merits of her stronger works are readily apparent, especially given that you've recognized it yourself.

Keep swinging at those strawmen, buddy.

So this is the power of leftist debate...

Remember: leftist counter-arguments only employ as hominims and memetic catchphrase responses.

*ad hominims
I blame iPhone

I admit not to reading Song of Solomon even after a teacher recommended it specifically to me after reading my paper on The Bluest Eye. I'm aware that her 90's output is probably good, but her current opinion pieces are nauseating and still get hoisted up as fact.

Hell, even saying "I do not think Toni Morrison is the best English-language author alive" can get you bad looks, even though there's people like Roth, McCarthy or Vollmann kicking about. The only way you can get away with it is by naming other woman as your favorite, like Atwood or LeGuin (both of whom I like a lot, btw).

>Skim milkers can't take a bit of bants
I can see why you're afraid that the professors grading your papers can't take you seriously since you can't even take yourself jokingly.

It's ad hominem

Sure sounds like some cuck soyboy poz feelings shit to me

You're about to say "I was only pretending to be retarded!"

>Opinion pieces
>Hoisted up as fact
Again, I think you're sorely misrepresenting her, if not also misunderstanding her.

You're not supposed to admit to phoneposting. You couldn't help it ofc being fully mindpozzed by Apple. You've become Native Advertisment.

I don't need to hide myself like an o p p r e s s e d conservative

lol

>Unironically being an Am**ican

Holy shit I pity you. The only left for you is a quick painless suicide

What's your argument here?
How am I misrepresenting her choice to blast all white people in a terrible piece called "Whiteness" the day after Trump won, for instance? How is that a productive reaction? How is that not gross simplification of a complex issue and self-parody of the worse racial impulses of her writing?

I'm neither white nor American, btw, so I don't have a stake on Trump or anything. And I'm not even saying it's her fault, she can write whatever the hell she wants. It's academia's uncritical acceptance of everything she says that is laughable.

Now that I recall, I did read another book by her: Jazz. I had mostly forgotten about it because it was so bland and indulgent.

Moderation is for Reddit. Go back there, faggots.

How in hell is Aphra Behn proto-feminist? Oroonoko was written in defense of the Stuart monarchy.
