Are you fucking kidding me?

I don't feel as though I want to talk to you anymore. I think I'll go fuck one of my female slaves instead. Thank Allah that that does not constitute rape, amirite?

>In The Atlantic magazine interview, "A Conversation with Gore Vidal" (October 2009), by John Meroney, Vidal spoke about topical and cultural matters of U.S. society. Asked his opinion about the arrest of the film director Roman Polanski, in Switzerland, in September 2009, in response to an extradition request by U.S. authorities, for having fled the U.S. in 1978 to avoid jail for the statutory rape of a thirteen-year-old girl in Hollywood, Vidal said, "I really don't give a fuck. Look, am I going to sit and weep every time a young hooker feels as though she's been taken advantage of?"

>Asked for elaboration, Vidal explained the cultural temper of the U.S. and of the Hollywood movie business in the 1970s:

>The [news] media can't get anything straight. Plus, there's usually an anti-Semitic and anti-fag thing going on with the press – lots of crazy things. The idea that this girl was in her communion dress, a little angel, all in white, being raped by this awful Jew Polacko – that's what people were calling him – well, the story is totally different now [2009] from what it was then [1970s] ... Anti-Semitism got poor Polanski. He was also a foreigner. He did not subscribe to American values, in the least. To [his persecutors], that seemed vicious and unnatural.

>JK Rowling
Right of center at best given her love of New Labour/Blairism and recent overt pivot to being a TERF.
>JBP
Furthest right of those you listed but mostly just a conservative with retarded evopsych and modernist pretensions. Cares more about movies and aesthetics than anything resembling politics.
>Steven Pinker
Centrist but would probably be right of center if he wasn’t such a fucking moron. Believes in nothing, which he has taken up as his personal cause. Also, almost definitely did stuff with Epstein.
>Joe Rogan
Has no coherent beliefs at all and thus unable to be classified, like most Americans. A rube at best, like most Americans.

This was supposed to be a thread about Blood Meridian

Instead we have schizos debating about the voices in their heads

Holy fuck. What's at stake is whether or not the common man will accept what you are bringing to the table. And if the common man accepts your point of view, they will implement it over time. The book talks about imposing your point of view by improving yourself so you can be "johnny on the spot" when a Boogaloo occurs. When you're "johnny on the spot" by being the right man at the right time, you're in a position of power so you can impose your point of view. But doesn't that sound dishonest since you cant beat the current way things are unless things get shaken up?

>Every scene is relatable
Literally nothing in the book was relatable to me. But I guess im also not a worthless piece of shit so that might be why.

>His life falls apart in the space of about a week
He got kicked out of multiple schools, his failure was a slow building roll

>there’s not much to be bored about if you understand the gravity of the issues he’s dealing with.
He says he is going to a new school next fall. There is no gravity, other then adding another failure to his accumulating failures.

I'll just point out the elephant in the room; the heavy stigma that most protty cult leaders and catholic monks/priests/bishops being kiddie diddlers. You want to be associated with kiddie diddlers?

Ah yes, the natural Talent >>>>> hard work shitck. Don't do anything at all until motivation tells you too! You won't be anything worthwhile until you get fucking possessed by a genius and type out the equivalent of Mona Lisa being assfucked by Mozart. Get a grip.

Look, art created in the name of god can be good, but god is not a pre-requisite for art. Yes, the Catholics make some good literature, but that doesn't mean all literature has to be based on religion
