*** IMPORTANT NOTICE TO VISITORS FROM OTHER BOARDS ***

/lit/ contains highly advanced forms of irony which only the highly intelligent can understand. For example, the attached meme is only fully comprehensible to those with an IQ over 170. The weaponized strains of elitism contained on /lit/ are extremely dangerous to anyone with an IQ lower than 140. Symptoms of browsing /lit/ with an insufficient intelligence level can include insomnia, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, sexual arousal, and death. If you experience any of these symptoms, please close your web browser and consult a doctor immediately.

/pol/ is really malignant tumor, it deserves to be cut out
but no, you boomer fags have such an overgrown persecution complex, you think everyone who just wants to discuss literature is the enemy - either go to the religion and humanities board, or back to /pol/

>>14349790
In case you missed the point on my post, you are talking with someone who spoke against /pol/ spam, and got banned several times for it.

>/lit/ is a slow board!

>playing the man not the ball
>hating the player not the game

If you constantly ascertain the politics of the person before evaluation of the ideas, you are blank?

>playing dirty politics
>playing censorship
>still claiming you have any point in a conversation
There is no decent conversation on this board as long as you are here, banning and censoring.

Bye.

leftypol is attempting infiltration on /tv/, /his/, and /lit/ following their failure on /pol/

>>14349661
You are not wrong. This was the best board on the website and now it's ruined. It is the pseudointellectual newfags from /pol/; leaking and infecting the entire website. We used to get by just fine during earlier waves of infections with the usual means of elitism, but now we're outnumbered by this filth believing that this is what /lit/ is supposed to be. We can't even discuss Lolita (a novel which regularly appeared in the top 10 of /lit/'s top 100 books of the year) anymore without the thread filling with cries about "that it's garbage and just ((())) and the lefts plan to normalize pedophilia" by people who obviously have not read it.
I don't know what we are supposed to do, as stated above, it used to be a slow board so I believe we barely have any moderation because we have not needed it before.

>>14350839
I don't believe people are banned for being lefty or shitting on /pol/, that happens in practically every thread where politics comes up. Are you spamming threads or somethign?

>>14349661
Yes. It's all crap. It's all been crap. Single sentence replies that do nothing for me but drag my awareness down. /lit/ is overrun by monkeys

>>14351025
how long have you been posting on this board? since the election?
