There are no right wing poets

Kipling

TS Elliot

>implying the plebs on this board appreciate Kipling

how was he right wing?

be religious is a reactionary treat

Was he though? Even if you take White Man's Burden 100% seriously, he was basically saying it was our job to HELP the lesser groups and uplift them.

OP here. Forgot i had this pic.

David Bowie

Ugh. Read paradise lost. Now here is the hard part, abstract the themes and story elements to normal human society. Are they warnings you would here from a right wing person or left wing person. I'll give you a hint, right wing people tend to value things like hierarchy, duty, and loyalty.

Yeats

how the fuck is he a right winger?

RS Thomas

antisemitic at least

White man's burden is about duty and responsibility owed down a hierarchal structure. Those are right wing values. He was also an ardent nationalist. He was right wing.

this is not Veeky Forums faggot go back to your containment board

>duty and responsibility owed down a hierarchal structure

He said that because heirarchal structures generally don't do that and just look out for themselves. Alternatively, he was saying to the US, "we and Spain fucked up with the Philippinnes, so don't you do it too!"

Sadly, we did it too.

Transcendentalism and traditionalism are at the centre of his entire oeuvre.

nice stretch faggot

I'll agree that US involvement in the Philippines didn't help the US much. And only halfway helped the Philippines by getting rid of the Spanish.

But Kipling's poem was exhorting the US to act in the Philippines. Describing it as a thankless duty, a burden, but still one that ought be done. Because it would help modernize people outside the west.

>And only halfway helped the Philippines by getting rid of the Spanish.

And then followed that up by competely destroying their government and putting them in prison camps, something they never let go until the Japanese came and did 100x worse.

Rudyard Kipling

I said halfway. The Spanish weren't that good either.

Cuz they're the kind of people who invite King Jamal over to exercise his Lord's Right on the night of the wedding, boyo.

Subservience to a system no matter what is the sign of a weak man, but those who think they're smart enough to destroy it and rebuild it are even weaker by virtue of having so many unresolved pathological urges.

Claiming that makes Paradise Lost right wing makes the same amount of sense as claiming that Harry Potter calls for gun control. These are deeper and more pervasive themes than your political alliance, fuckboi, and trying to spin it so that they're wearing the same color jersey you are is pathetic.

That is when I realized I was reading an incredibly insightful post.

Eliot was a traditionalist anglo-catholic

Veeky Forums everyone.

Poetry is gay anyway. Greatest writers were right-wing. Like Dostoyevsky.

What about J.K. Rowling who is left-wing? She is arguably one of the best writers ever. At least top 3.

The fuck are you smoking? Dostoyevsky was a "christian socialist," advocating for a sort of abolition of class & state with the church presiding over all.
