I really wished you didn't kill yourself, so I could hear what would you say about Trump becoming president, and social media

narcissist of the highest order, hypocritical psuedo-revolutionary, and pedophile snuff film enthusiast

Got a good laugh out of him in my late teens

this is about what he qualifies

at least he finally did the right thing in the end

Seconded. He knew exactly how the global war on terror was going to develop after 9/11. He was probably burned out on drugs by the end though.

He would have been a better sheriff than the guy who actually won.

I also like guns and alcohol, so kudos to him for promoting them as well.

the leftist needs to remember how to be a man and love firearms

>tfw HST has been co-opted for something called thebusinesstutor
>probably better he did not live to see this

anyways. this is good

>so if you now number yourself among the disenchanted, then you have no choice but to accept things as they are, or to seriously seek something else. But beware of looking for goals: look for a way of life. Decide how you want to live and then see what you can do to make a living WITHIN that way of life. But you say, “I don’t know where to look; I don’t know what to look for.”

>And there’s the crux. Is it worth giving up what I have to look for something better? I don’t know— is it? Who can make that decision but you? But even by DECIDING TO LOOK, you go a long way toward making the choice.

true, he chose a self-destructive way of life. but johnny depp owes him approx $47m in royalties for impersonating HST as jack sparrow. so clearly something worked there

What the actual fuck, you realize he was 67 when he shot himself right? he wouldn't have survived to see the 2010s.

At his best his prose has a real rhythmic intensity.

Bill Burroughs lived to be pretty old, and HST didn't have Hepatitis or 50+ years of daily opiate injection and rawdogging/being rawdogged by other men under his belt like WSB had.

Just read Transmetropolitan, that's basically the same thing.

Amazing individual.

This.

He'd be, what, 79 today? He could still potentially be alive.

I already did, it was a fun read, heavy-handed at some parts but worth a read.

Do you get any satisfaction from superficially impersonating a /pol/ack? At least stop typing in all lowercaps to make yourself less conspicuous.

>He'd be, what, 79 today? He could still potentially be alive.
Yeah, somebody who required biyearly surgery and required 24/7 care would have totally made it to 79.

He couldn't even wipe his own ass.

Where can I get my hands on that online?

Maybe the other user/s will enjoy it too, then.

You can torrent it in .cbr from most reputable pirate websites and it's also posted page by page in three parts here

Nah, they will shit on my taste, on the basis of either:

1 Liking comic books at all
2 Liking this particular comic book
3 Liking somebody impersonating HST writing style
4 All of the above

>superficially impersonating a /pol/ack
I am a socialist with no desire to associate with /pol/ and I mean what I say about firearms

>reputable
>pirate
Oxymoron.

hey reddit

Hey creative person

It was a joke, friend.

His best work represents a genuine development on Hemingway, his literary father, through the introduction of comedy and the exposure of the biographical roots of the work. He overcame the anxiety of influence.

He also captured something of the spirit of his age, the crash of the sixties revolutionaries of all stripes, as well as what they were revolting against.

I'd love to have seen him on how the 2000s are a bastard child of the 1960s and the 1980s, all the 'freedoms' yoked to commercial value.

He stole William Seabrook's shtick (gonzo journalism) and did it better

Transmetropolitan has all the trappings of HST with none of the substance. Certainly none of the political insight.

Exactly. It's like one of those crappy moves with Shakespeare as the protagonist.

Good enough mate. Thanks.
