I am trying to imagine what new features despotism might have in today’s world: I see an innumerable host of men, all alike and equal, endlessly hastening after petty and vulgar pleasures with which they fill their souls. Each of them, withdrawn into himself, is virtually a stranger to the fate of all the others. For him, his children and personal friends comprise the entire human race. As for the remainder of his fellow citizens, he lives alongside them but does not see them. He touches them but does not feel them. He exists only in himself and for himself, and if he still has a family, he no longer has a country.

Over these men stands an immense tutelary power, which assumes sole responsibility for securing their pleasure and watching over their fate. It is absolute, meticulous, regular, provident, and mild. It would resemble paternal authority if only its purpose were the same, namely, to prepare men for manhood. But on the contrary, it seeks only to keep them in childhood irrevocably. It likes citizens to rejoice, provided they think only of rejoicing. It works willingly for their happiness. It provides for their security, foresees and takes care of their needs, facilitates their pleasures, manages their most important affairs, directs their industry, regulates their successions, and divides their inheritances. Why not relieve them entirely of the trouble of thinking and the difficulty of living?

the new Proust

>in France, he is the "bad boy" of French literature, or as we say here (in Britain) the "enfent terrible"

okay c'mon you have to give kudos to the writer who wrote that and the presenter for drily delivering that cute line, fuck

I laughed out loud, this is gold.

that woman academic is 100% a Veeky Forums poster

I also lost it around the point of the first hmmms.

The next logical step is to actuate the suicide which was ideated (yes, his self-insert) at the end of Whatever. Sucks that grandma was an idiot, I didn't know that.

What is this from? That was excellent

Houellebecq?

All memes aside, when she asserted with a hint of some conviction that the "critique" of political correctness is worse-than, more-boring-than doctrinaire political correctness itself, on the one hand one has to bear in mind whatever the video editor wanted to do. But the atomic comment, taken by itself, is very stupid. I experience the general critique of political correctness as an exciting multiplicaiton of ideas, while at the same time the other a whole diminution.

Where to start with Houellebecq?

Elementary Particles (Atomized) is his best book. I'd say start with Submission though. It lacks his usual sci-fi tidbits so it's just a very straightforward and cutting satire about the West.

Submission is the best starting point. Read Elementary Particles next

what a bunch of crap

Great. Thanks, guys.

wtf! lock him up in the bastille...

I can't understand your turgid comment. Please explain it to me in simple words.

Tocqueville, that's what the video was about, Houellebecq read this excerpt from Democracy in America.

the way he's holding this cigarette skeeves me out.

is this advertising? because I want to read his work now, where should I start?

...

thank you, I find it very difficult to read threads for more than several seconds

only the creepiest of all european creeps hold cigarettes this way

Houellebecq is the king of the european creeps

The new Hitler.

The new DFW.

same thing

What he said is that he is more interested in critiques of political correctness because the discussions are more fruitful rather than political correctness by itself. He doesnt seem eager to expand

not all provocateurs are created equal
dude's an edgy hack for suburbia

Literally has nothing to do with my post...

its everything to do with life

>tfw only famous French intellectuals can pull that behaviour off

Feels bad.

I know that feel, but with a Vape it's not the same thing

I'm dying

ummm....

I just want to acknowledge that someone actually has reading comprehension and pretty-fairly summarized my post just before this thread archives, cheers.
