I love people who own books like this, as soon as I see it on someone's shelf I know they're a retard who I can't have an adult conversation with. Probably too late though.

Capitalist Realism

>>20237708
Redpill me in this book. I bought at the time and read a couple of hundred pages, seemed to be mostly about three pretentious people's love triangle.

I love when people like you make comments like this; as soon as I see them, I can only imagine that they never voluntarily read a book without pictures. They only browse places like /lit/ to feed their narcissism and Illusory superiority while never having read anything that would change how they think or challenge their views.

>Go to this anon's house
>Hey I like your patio
>Anon: Why I am very smart, thank you for asking.
>Hey so what is the newest book that you are reading?
>Anon: Hmph. I should have known you were an unintelligible swine.
>Do you always talk like that to other guests?
>Anon: I can't have conversations when an imbecile like you is not an adult.

Is there an English translation out yet?

>Fox News "HARUMPH HARUMPH OBAMA IS SHREDDIN DA FOUNDING FATHERS" shit
looks apex boomer and nothing other than truism gievances.

>nobody has posted multitrack drifting or the sick loopdaloop yet
Y'all don't deserve Philippa Foot or any of the attendant fetishes

>>20239566
>nobody has posted edits that we’ve all seen a million and one fucking times
Or maybe you’re just a retarded zoomzoom who got lost on the way to Instagram

>>20239583
>the memes from the sad millennial age of /lit/ are now zoomer memes
Kid, you're reaching too far. It's like when you put on a deep voice to get into an R rated film: I'm not being paid enough to care you're twelve.

>>20239592
>It's like when you put on a deep voice to get into an R rated film
What a clever simile you’ve got there, did you nick that from Palahniuk or Bret Easton Ellis? Get lost already you stupid teenager

>>20239603
That looks like text not a trolley meme. I'm not an expert so I can't be sure, but I figure it's a fifty fifty chance either way, so I'll go with
>Not a trolley meme
For a chance at the big wheel

>>20239609
We’re not posting trolley problem edits here for you to then save them all and post them on your “basedevropazoomer” profile with 50 followers tops. Go Google some if you’re so keen on getting them

>>20239653
I'll take normative ethics with ferroequinologists for 500, Alex.

>a condescending link directly to Google is the same as a 4chan archive
You really are terminally braindead huh

>>20239690
So are you going to post the one with nobody on the tracks now kid?

>>20239704
I’m not posting shit for you, pal. Your teachers should have taught you well enough about primary sources, no? Keep checking your own repeating digits though, I bet your 50 followers are foaming at the mouths in waiting impatiently for those sweet sweet trolley problem edits

This thread attracted a lot of retards.

>>20239724
>still no trolley problems
Are you trying to post the nihilism conglomeration? Yeah that happens sometimes, it's a mereological problem rather than an ethical nuance though, so it's not really my field. I recommend starting off with a sick loopdaloop, most kids can grasp that.

>I recommend starting off with a sick loopdaloop, most kids can grasp that
Now we’re getting somewhere! Maybe you can make that the first pic in the Instagram post, something accessible before you get into the more abstract stuff. Better put a lot of thought into that caption, too, those two likes you’ll get will be all the more rewarding for it

>>20239761
Do you have Phillipa Foot's Instagram or something and that's why you keep mentioning it? If it's just that you don't know how to upload images you can just say that, kid. Don't get everyone's hopes up we might be able to slide into her DM to ask her about Kant's opinions on foot sex.

Wierd, I only learned of it a couple months (or closer to a year? idk) on here, and there were a bunch of threads made for it all of a sudden. I ended up with the impression that it had just come out.

>>20237689
He can walk away, it will deprive him from the pain of watching it, and he can't save anyone, so why stay? Unless, of course, he's a sadistic or a mentally weak person.

>zoomers are this mad that older anons made trolley posts in a trolley problem thread
>zoomer insults are essentially "omg you must be on social media if you're able to sustain a train of thought over a whole metaphor"

Washed over me entirely. Inpenetrable as a listen, nearly the whole thing. The love-in with Kequge was a memorable aside too, but that was it. What a slog.

I was gonna look it up cause of where I am, but my contempt for "sounding it out" almost never being true where it counts always has pissed me off, so that is what you get. Yw.

Absolutely fantastic. How did you hear about /lit/? Where do you come from?

>>20244768
Is this book worth reading now? Isn't its data like 20 years old

Chronicle of a Death Foretold – García Márquez

>>20237689
This thread. Although it is not very literary.

>>20245295
At the most basic level replace television with internet and most of his conclusions still stick. In fact I would say the internet is really just TV on steroids

>Flowers for Algernon
can confirm, just re-read it for a writing course. ending hits hard even though you can see it coming.

>>20237916
each part is pretty much an individual novel with interlinking setting, themes, and characters. The post you are replying to is referencing a part of the novel about a detective investigating a series of murders which are repeatedly and in detail described throughout that particular part.
