Why are a lot of good writers communist and atheist?

Nice comma splice.

this.
generally, good artists are too sensitive and well educated to be hold back by conservatism or religion.

He had a very serious and public falling out with the french manlet goblin tailor over how shit he though communism was after the truth came out so it's very disingenuous of OP to describe suave sexy, Pied-Noir come-in-me Camus as a commi

Because writers have big imaginations, like believing communism could actually work.

You understand that this opinion you stated has been implanted inside of your head by the western education system, right? By repeating it, you are repeating the system's slogan, like saying "ignorance is strength," and thinking you are the enlightened one when you are really the slave. You are the slave, get it?

wew nice bait

I hope you're not implying camus was talented because he was a hack fraud.

That pic from Russia? Haven't seen many of those.

A lot of good writers are anything. Not to sound sentimental, or to try and project perennial superstition onto reality, but art is human expression, and I don't think there are many philosophical, political or religious attachments that deprive people of their humanity. One of the nice things about literature is its absolute multiformity.

Maybe I'm putting the cart before the horse. People with artistic temperaments probably gravitate toward certain social objects. Most people with artistic temperaments are probably not very good artists though. Good writers always seem to defy stereotype and blank categorisation.

is this true?

Reagan never said anything true

>If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.
baka get your ideology addled brain out of here

Why are Americans so untolerant and medieval?

Life was better when the average life expectancy was 30 and we all lived to kill the fucker indebted to the next lord over

Spooktastic.

communist atheist here
idk

1984 is a criticism of authoritarianism.

>communist atheist here
I can't wait until trump makes it legal to hunt you """""""people""""""""

wow
im not even american too tho

And?

>still hasn't been answered
Well I guess that proves that wrong.

They arent atheists like fedoras but rather they realize their god hood and manifest their visualizations from the spiritual realm onto the physical plain.

>Hey Lovecraft is pretty good.

Lovecraft is an overrated, over written lunatic that only freshman still jack to

Camus might not have been a commie, but he was literally Antifa. He was editor-in-chief of Combat, the Resistance newspaper, which was also Left anti-Stalinist.

> Loyal to its origins, Combat tried to become the place of expression for those who believed in creating a popular non-Communist Left movement in France. In July 1948 (more than a year after the May 1947 crisis and the expulsion of the Communist Party (ministers) from the government), Victor Fay (de), a Marxist activist, took over Combat 's direction, but he failed to stop the newspaper's evolution towards more popular subjects and less political information.

Hehe, (ministers), more like (((ministers))). Anyway, go Camus, vive antifascisme.

middlebrow hacks tend to be atheist, good ones rarely

>good

They aren't. There are none, actually. Gaymoo is a terrible writer.
Communism and atheism are authoritarian.

>against facism
>non-communist
i can dig it.

Camus is nowhere as good as the French fascist and monarchist writers during the XXth century.

Barrès, Bloy, Maurras, L. Daudet, Ghéon, Péguy, Claudel, Céline, Châteaubriant, Bernanos, Morand, Chardonne, Drieu, Bonnard, Rebatet, Giono, Montherlant, Aymé, Nimier and the Hussards, Dominique de Roux
even Proust wasn't a commie shit

Surprisingly accurate statement in the light of recent purging of historical monuments by Antifa & alt-Left in the USA

What do you mean by a lot? I can't think of a single one.

More like there are almost no centrist writers and philosophers. Before WW2 it was 50/50 on reacrionaries and revolutionaries regarding the intellectual class. You are too unerudite to klnow this.

Please keep your alt right hate speech off of Veeky Forums before the site gets shut down

>You understand that this opinion you stated has been implanted inside of your head by the western education system, right?

What a fucking meme. Most of my professors are liberals who believe in the "failure of the communist project."

>historical monuments

Erected in the late sixties to intimidate advocates of the civil rights movement.

>alt-Left

See image enclosed. Your Limbaugh memes are transparent. I hope for your sake that you are simply shitposting.

>Communist
sure
>Atheist
fuck off, this is a christian board

As a probable commie and definite agnostic I'll say that anybody who rejects religion but doesn't understand the purpose of it (which is most atheists) is probably going to be shit at anything arts-related.

Why are a lot of good writers in the mfing nazbol gang?

Name four

In The Rebel, he described himself as anarcho-syndicalist.

Eduard Limonov
Ernst Junger
Lovecraft
W.B Yeats

>any of these
>nazbol

>He's bad because I disagree with his political views

Shut the fuck up

The first one literally founded the NazBol party.

>one of Putin's stoogies
>nazbol
i'm truly honored that a russian shill would grace us on Veeky Forums

Whether or not Limonov is still a proper NazBol doesn't change the fact that at one point he founded and led the NazBol party which has since been banned by Putin.

>thinking it wasn't a meme party designed to group together opposition in an easily visible bubble

Still NazBol

>proud member of a meme ideology designed to identify political opponents
unironically intellectually cucked to hell and back

That describes every ideology really.

>every other ideology is just useful opposition so it's totally okay for me to do the same
Sure thing senpai ;^)

Well they were invented by the Jews but NazBol wasn't.

>muh pure uncorrupted ideology
nazbol is the new meme ideology that's replaced libertarianism i see. at least it's not autistic enough to spam Veeky Forums with stupid, vacuous infographics.

>atheism is authoritarian
Why are christfags so fucking stupid?

As you said it was invented by Putin and he's a goy.

why are fedoras in such deep denial?

>a shabbos goy has never existed
yesssss goyim good

The writers personality tends to be pretentious and skeptical in some ways... That's why SOME of them are atheist reds fags.

You understand that this opinion you stated has been implanted inside of your head by the western education system, right? By repeating it, you are repeating the system's slogan, like saying "ignorance is strength," and thinking you are the enlightened one when you are really the slave. You are the slave, get it?

Also kys

Who isn't a hack fraud to you? And what do you think makes your special or intelligent enough to come to that conclusion?

Atheism itself isn't even an ideology. How the fuck can it be authoritarian?

They're very obstinate and stick like glue to the first conclusion they ever make.

>atheism
>not an ideology
either a mindless fedora or a shoddy shill

Atheism is nothing more than the rejection or absence of theistc beliefs, specifically the belief of the existence of a deity or dieties. Explain to me how that is in any way ideological.

Fedora pls go, this is a christian board

go back to r/books

...

Because fedora tier statements like that are generally accompanied by a religious devotion to scientism or whatever political ideology (technocracy, futurism, socialism, etc) the fedora adheres to. Stating "atheism is just the rejection/absence of theistic beliefs" is as accurate as stating "islam is just the rejection/absence of pagan beliefs" it's half the story, only describing it in the negative terms when there is another shoe waiting to drop of what positive beliefs it has.

>le fedora meme

Good one. Leave this board. You're obviously retarded. Go read baby's first Camus before you open your wittle mouth.

I didn't mention the fedora that triggered you so badly (no doubt because you bear great resemblence to the archetypal photos of beta fedora clad males)

learn to read before you reply to me you fag

>atheists associate themselves with ideologies that are compatible with atheism, therefore atheism is an ideology

associating with an ideology is not the same as zealously evangelizing a political ideology

It's all ideology lads

Zizek go back to your trashcan

It's because the "le fedora tip" retort is for pseuds who are too retarded to understand the author or position they're denouncing.

That is who you are. So again, leave this board. Go learn something. And then return.

You'd have to quote that because I read it this year and don't recall him ever describing himself. So seriously, anti up or make me reread that book just to refute you. Which I will gladly do. It's such a good book.

>anti up

Because atheists aren't terrified of questioning ideas.

It's in the last section after he tears into communism. More or less he just expresses hope for anarcho syndicalism succeeding where communism fails

"Zealously evangelizing a political ideology" is not a doctrine within atheism.

/thread

Wow. Took 86 retards before we arrived at the actual answer.

it's because you're a dipshit. If you were ever to speak to me like that in real life I would mash your fat face into jello

Is anyone else tired of Marxism? Like yeah Marx was a smart guy, and he wrote a lot of good literature, but it's pretty clear after the nightmare of the Soviet Union (regardless of whether that was true Marxism) that it's never going to elevate the worker. I mean, honestly, how fucking sad is it that the most successful element of the left in the past quarter-century has been the social democrats, who are basically the fucking useless carebears of left thinking. Even the term of "the Left" has been turned into a punchline for reactionaries to laugh at, and why? Because, we've spent the last century jerking off some fucking kraut that's been dead for one hundred and fifty years and pretending that making cute little drawings of pigs could make up for its failings.
We are barrelling towards what could be the greatest moment that the left has ever had and we have no game plan whatsoever. At least we can draw little pigs in the sand though when we're all in re-education camps.

And yet they almost always coincide with each other.

Actually, I have never seen them not coincide with each other. The only other time in which I haven't seen an atheist also shilling for his heaven on earth political ideology is because they're spreading the gospel of atheism itself and trying to convert people to lack of belief, as awkwardly phrased as that is.

I'm sorry, but I don't think he necessarily endorses your cause, considering the project of the book is no where a declaration of any politics, otherwise he would have written a manifesto with declarative statements to attack Communist - who, by the way, where people like him that started out as rebels opposed to Nazi control. What this turned into is the fucking point of the book. So how about saying, not only is this book not a declaration of his being an anarcho syndicalist, but it also tries to speak directly to those who lack foresight and an over abundance of courage.

Hey there buddy, my pal, maybe think about cooling down, guy? I was just trying to provide the section of the book where the poster you were replying to was drawing from. Like you I do not think that Camus wrote the book as a positive endorsement of any belief as he did with the Myth of Sisyphus, rather I think it was much more directed as a critique of authoritarian movements as a whole. It's just a very small section in which he gets self reflective of his disillusionment with the communist movement and tries to look for a more satisfactory system, though he does not get anywhere close to a concrete endorsement.

Most good writers aren't commies or atheists. Good writers that are commies are much rarer than ones that are atheists.

It's nice to know that the only atheists you've ever interacted with are militant ideologues, but that's besides the point. Atheism by itself is not an ideology because it does not have any fundamental ideals or doctrine, which is the entire fucking point of an ideology.

Your offbrand, lite new atheism doesn't, no, but that's only because you lack conviction for any actual conclusions to be drawn from your philosophy.
