Is French literature dangerous?

Is French literature dangerous?

not as dangerous as russian debate

yes, and that's a good thing

all good literature is dangerous, because it leaves its marks on your mind and spirit.

The development of capitalism meant the unification of irreversible time on a world scale. Universal
history became a reality because the entire globe was brought under the sway of this time's
progression. But a history that is thus the same everywhere at once has as yet amounted to nothing
more than an intrahistorical refusal of history. What appears the world over as the same day is
merely the time of economic production time cut up into equal abstract fragments. Unified
irreversibletimestillbelongstotheworldmarketand,byextension,totheworld spectacle.

no, Dangerous is part-jewish greek-british literature published in the US.

>French
someone explain my irrational disgust for the French language, culture and people. Why does just hearing a French accent make me want to smack somebody in the face?

Anglos thirst for blood irrationally

inherited garden variety english francophobia

feelings of resentment bred from repressed awareness of your inferiority

Because you have shit taste.

milo pls, nobody cares about your stories, just make a coffee table book of your hair before you lose it. pls.

I don't know if it's dangerous but in my opinion it is very interesting.

inferiority complex fueled by the contemporary greatness of french artists.

>contemporary greatness
please. They've been burning cultural capital for the better part of 2 centuries

You unconsciously recognize your inferiority. French people are cynical beyond measure, giving them an edge in socioeconomical analysis. Those who bash french post war philosophy as a destructive force, aren't wrong, simply because in every other country on earth it works and is perceived as one, because nobody had this cynical tendency to see beyond the message and not take it at face value. Alt right loves to shit on foucault and the likes, yet fail to see that the degeneracy killing america and other european countries doesn't work in france. Nobody believes in third wave feminism over here, for exemple. You guys are just dumber. Look at how many extremely unique thinkers france has produced in the past century. From guénon to ellul, no other country can claim such diversity and peculiar perspectives and insights.

having the best philosophy of the 20th century is like winning the retard olympics

yeah like ellul, guénon, and foucault all share the same 'philosophy'.
retarded anglo

all these responses are butthurt fr*nchies. The truth is that fr*nch is the result of celtic phonology combined with latin vocabulary and grammar, resulting in the most disgusting language ever created, and (via loan words and other such things) also creating the second worst language.

I didn't say that. D'ailleurs Foucault en Francais c'est meme pire qu'en traduction Anglaise.

Only if you're comparing it to their people

>nobody is cynical but the french
>also french are not degenerate
you're delusional, pierre

>Reads Camus once

Foucault c'est une crème à lire oui. Comparé à la ribambelle d'autistes qui philosophaient à la même période.

try saying this when your country is majority non-french and non-white, retard

Quelle sorte de creme mon ami?

Americans hate France because their Republic is a copy of the French one based on French values, their war of independence was won because of help by the French and they generally feel inferior culturally. They also bought most of their country from the French.

They also love the 'French are cowards' meme because they don't know history.

No more than other western countries. Wayyy less than the US. But you realize people don't govern right? Mass imigration in europe is orchestrated from the top down, retard. The 'immigration expert' in the EU used to work a top position at goldman sachs. Pretty sure (((he)))'s not french.

oh, so you're not degenerate, you're just not French anymore
that's the point I'm making, it's degenerate to allow such a thing, EU or no

>majority non-french
putain mais quel abruti

how is the american republic a copy of the french one if the american republic came three years earlier and the french "republic" was a bloody oligarchic mess?
genuinely asking, I'm curious to know why you think this

Quant aux philosophes Francais du 20ieme qui meritent etre etudier, je prefere Deleuze et Bataille, mais ce n'etait pas une blague, le siecle est completement pourri.

tbqh my favorite philosopher from the past 200 years is Oswald Spengler, and I like him basically just for his Mysticist approach to history

>csq tu n'es pas francais
je souvent contemple la suicide

jamais lu spengler mais j'suis ce genre de schizo qui lit d truc occultes, ça vaut le coup? il parle de quoi

>il parle de quoi
Civilization comme organisme metaphysique qui est exprime par un seul symbole. C'est a dire les arts, la religion, les mathematiques, l'architecture, etc. vient tous d'une 'idee' fondamentale. Et chaque civilization a son symbole propre a soi, et ne peut comprendre celles des autres.

> the anglo revolts against mediocre mainstream french philosophers that were elevated by his very own anglo people!

the french genius is eternal

>Since the 19th century, France has continued being a country of immigration. During the Trente Glorieuses (1945–1974), the country's reconstruction and steady economic growth led to the labor-immigration of the 1960s, when many employers found manpower in villages located in Southern Europe and North Africa. In 2008, the French national institute of statistics INSEE estimated that 11.8 million foreign-born immigrants and their direct descendants (second generation) lived in France representing 19% of the country's population. About 5.5 million are of European origin and 4 million of Maghrebi origin.
>13% of the [USA] population was foreign-born in 2009 – a rise of 350% since 1970 when foreign-born people accounted for 3.7% of the population, including 11.2 million illegal immigrants, 80% of whom come from Latin America. Latin America is the largest region-of-birth group, accounting for over half (53%) of all foreign born population in US, and thus is also the largest source of both legal and illegal immigration to US. In 2011, there are 18.1 million naturalized citizens in the United States, accounting for 45% of the foreign-born population (40.4 million) and 6% of the total US population at the time, and around 680,000 legal immigrants are naturalized annually.
looks like you two are closer than you think

Funny thing about Spengler is that his magnum opus was huge hit when it came out. People forget this.

>The original German edition of Spengler's The Decline of the West sold 100,000 copies in its first eight years. It is now largely unread.

Will his fame return in the future? Can these things be cyclical?

Will the recent 'greats' of French literature quickly plunge into obscurity from their towering heights?

To be rediscovered in another era, is that having stood the test of time?

La France as a nation is a misreading by the anglo of what La France is.

La France is the French language, its academia and its education. While French perdures and grows, La France will be eternal.

They weren't actually reading it back then either. It's an 1000 page treatise on mystic philosophy of history.

People mistook it for some kind of reactionary screed relevant to contemporary Germany's politics.

la franca creatura...

La Francupacabra

Yeah, you're probably right.
The book title was a stroke of genius. It tapped into something.
