There's not going to be anything readable for a long time. Why is this generation so shit that we only have the works of leftovers from previous ones to look forward to?
Don't worry, eventually things will get violent and scary again and wake up all us sleepyheads and then there'll be art and passion and all that again. We're just sort of in a lull right now. It happens. A good war will fix things up.
lol this generation is so fucked. It's 80% brainlets who majored in humanities because they couldn't do stem but still want to say they went to college, 15% oversensitive saps who read for "the social message," 5% neurotics who consider literature as some all important sacred cow and want to be among the "prophets" tennyson and melville etc
Stockholm syndrome
t. sanctimonious stemfag
More like he's a distraught humanitiesboi
What he said was the exact opposite of Stockholm Syndrome though, he wants to escape the passionless, artless prison we're currently in.
You're mom gay
She had me, she can't be gay. At worst she's a bisexual, but then a lot of women are. You on the other hand are 100% fag
>this artificial inseminate spawn calls his mom bisexual
Lol
ur dad gay
He's got huge hands
Excuse me.
The dominant mode of thought is conducive to the creation of bland "art" that is mediocre at best, and those that oppose it lack the skills to create art of any kind.
It's interesting to see people still going to university to take STEM courses.
Never said humanities themselves were bad

You genuinely believe that this generation is as good as the Salinger's? How did you pass the captcha?
didn't say that at all
nah you fit right in
You're deeply stupid desu
Literature fucking sucks now... all the good 'literature' or philosophy is in the arts (film, moving images mostly) and politics.

Legit feel sad for this old man.
>In an oral biography titled Salinger, authors David Shields and Shane Salerno assert that the author had left specific instructions authorizing a timetable, to start between 2015 and 2020, for the release of several unpublished works. According to the authors and their sources, these include five new Glass-family stories; a novel based on Salinger's relationship with his first wife, Sylvia; a novella in the form of a World War II counterintelligence officer’s diary; a "manual" of stories about Vedanta; and other new or retooled stories that illuminate the life of Holden Caulfield.
we s-still have two more years, r-right guys?
BTFO YOU SECRET STEMFAG
a large number of what would now be called reactionaries are Jews who protected, as best they could, the Western canon and traditions with all their might and powers. This is why the RW needs to take inventory and figure out what it actually knows about the global techno-financial system instead of meme'ing nazism in 2018 like parrots. Jews play a large role in the degradation of the West and yet many of them, and many of their best specimens go out of their way to be as faithful to the values of the west as possible and promote them to whoever will listen. I think you should consider whether or not you have holes in your epistemology user. Agreed that its extremely depressing Semites and Asians (and racist Spics) will have to protect the Western corpus from the hordes of unremarkables
Speak for yourself. I happen to be writing what will quite possible be the greatest movie (as opposed to 'film') of all time.
