How did he get to be such an illustrious writer? Was it an innate ability that allowed him to write so well...

he's part of the english curriculum in a lot of high schools

But he is Russian

in the US*

He had issues, highly neurotic, easily addicted, prone to overthink things, but also very curious, insightful and productive during what I guess were periods of mania.
I just finished The Double and was floored. The way he gets into the head of a mentally ill person is insane. Of course, it was based on a lot of research and the final result took a lot of painstaking work, but he also had a way to present his vision in a way that's very convincing intuitively.
Keep in mind that that was one of his first works. Even before he was struck by life-changing events that supposedly roughened him up to become what he recognize him as today.

Do you want to know why?
Because the ideas about society he expresses were found to be good for social conditioning.
His point of view was what a particular group of nobility was waiting for. It was what they needed to promote to prepare for revolution.

Dostoyevsky was not a good writer. He was a whining narcissist with no real insight. His work was promoted for political reasons alone.

TL;DR - Reading Dostoyevsky turns you into a retarded faggot left winger. He was an instrument in levering populations into revolution by winding them up and setting their mood.

You are lost. Nothing can help you now.

He ended the show early, and then he showed some more Animaniacs reruns.

Sounds like some pol "redpilled" logic to me. So many internet posters talk about the left the way hitler talked about the Jews. In the us the word liberal is used as an insult now.
My point being is that kill yourself

>TL;DR - Reading Dostoyevsky turns you into a retarded faggot left winger

>Dostoyevsky
>Liberal

Honestly reading Dosto is one of the reasons why I found myself becoming more Conservative tbqh senpai

>He wasn't brilliant, he was just brilliant

This is true... my black friend who lives off welfare shared something like this on Facebook AND..... it had like thousands of likes so it must be true

You mean the way you ad hominem the fuck out of /pol/ and the word red pilled? I don't agree with that anons assesment of D by the way... but none the less, your side uses WHITE MALE as an insult, and comparable to hitler....

So... lol

How so user? He's all about us left wingers not you stupid dumb racist Nazi kkk coservashits

Could you tell me how Dostoyevsky was liberal, and how he appeals to liberals?

He wrote big books. Liberals love reading books. REEEEEE

>blames /pol/ for every non-politically correct comment

I wish /pol/ were more famous but uhhhh.... guess what pal, the majority of us don't even know about Veeky Forums, thanks for showing us how small your world is believing that anything right wing/conservative must automatically be some "redpilled liburrhal hate'ng Kay Kay Kay Natzeehs" from /pol/

(Which is funny because half of /pol/ is populated by your kind anyway)

Stereotypical as fuck. What are you even doing on Veeky Forums btw? Gonna change the publics opinion one homosex post at a time?

He just does I don't have to justify myself to a conservashit

...

Dostoevsky wrote against communism/socialism in Crime and Punishment and Notes From Underground. If you'd actually have read him you'd probably realize this, but I understand reading is hard when you have to see so many trump memes XD

No he didn't. He was a Christian commie.

stop replying to bait

Shut up whiteboi. Black Order will reign over you cucks

Somehow I can tell this post was made by a self-loathing white male.

You are an idiot, completely missed a point and know nothing about Dostoyevsky. He despised leftists, and they despise him.

Never change Veeky Forums

Read "Idiot", idiot.

>Dostoevsky wrote against communism/socialism in Notes From Underground.
I'm not sure we've read the same book desu

Dosto wasn't the smartest intellectual ever, but he had a good grasp of presentation and prose, plus, he was prolific as fuck (even if not by choice).
So basically, even if another writer were to have a better grasp on "Notes From the Underground"'s main character or "Crime and Punishment"'s, his work would still be better, because he showcases their thoughts really well.

This is why Veeky Forums will always be an extension of reddit.
I know these were all baits, but...
In C&P Sofya/Sonya is the personification of christian love.
Dosto is the fuckin poster boy for the orthodox church.
I'm not even going to get started in The Brothers Karamazov. I have better things to do.

Siriously. U dont know even little bit of greate talant FMDs

>Dostoyevsky as left-winger

Look into his feud with Turgenev, who actually was a left winger. Also Look at Demons.
Dostoyevsky was left-leaning earlier in his life, but he underwent a profound shift later on. This ties in too with his Slavophilic, anti-European orientation in his later years

Kek

His early writings really don't compare to what he wrote later on for the most part. His one early work that I think stands among his best is The Double, and one could argue that its merit owes much to Gogol. What really made him as a writer was his decade of tribulation that began with his arrest and mock-execution and continued in penal servitude. After all of that (and not even right away) he really found his voice and his depth of insight

>Dostoyevsky
>leftist

This is what I got the feeling for. Dostoevsky was against atheistic communism, but Christian communism is what he supported.

>TL;DR - Reading Dostoyevsky turns you into a retarded faggot left winger. He was an instrument in levering populations into revolution by winding them up and setting their mood.

>some of the strongest arguments against communism/atheism throughout his novels
>somehow a communist

A FUCKING A WHITE MALE

Look at that gigantic noggin. What do you think?

Please translate

I'd raether take a niggahdick then being a jesuit.

If one has truly understood Dostoevsky, they would see that his work in now way promotes a liberal agenda, but if anything, rather suggests that politics is futile and worldly and that no political ideology is worth any praise - and that regardless of whether you're an atheist or a theist.

>Claims to have truly understood Dosto
>gives the most banal and surface-level analysis of his beliefs possible

I'm convinced he was a serious anti-semite. Come on, you can't blame him. I'm his writing, there's always the occasional reference to them, but in a negative way.

o-okay, s-s-senpai

Yeah. I heard Dostoevsky was illiterate and couldn't even write his own name. Truly sick how history has been whitewashed like dis.

Those are the characters of the time referring to them in a historically accurate way. It says nothing about his own views on them. But so what if he was?

Opinions?

>But so what if he was?

Nothing of it. I'm merely pointing that out, simply as an observation.

Literally my diary, desu

I thought it was a pretty captivating short story. Was thinking about reading it again soon.

fuck off Grognads

He suffered for his art.

That he did, that he did.

Look at it
I want to tuck it in to bed
Sleep tight duster

Dostoevsky was a turning point in my edgy nihilistic meme autistic-communism faze.
Thank you, Feodor.
