/lit/ - Literature

[Anonymous No.18917658]

Hi /lit/. Please don’t bully me, I’m sensitive. I was wondering if you guys have any recs of books about a specific phrase: “totalitarian niceness,” used by thinker Jonathan Bowden. Whether it’s fiction or nonfiction, nonfiction might be even preferable here. I’m not a /pol/ tourist, even if I sound like one, but the crazy thing I’ve noticed with friends of my age (early 20s) is /pol/-lite ideas are gathering momentum.

>yeah, the National Geographic, a magazine I always loved, but they started printing anti-White shit and queries like “Write in 7 words why you’re ashamed of being White,” so I just dropped it. That’s not real science

or

>as a young adult, I see more manifestations of Black supremacy than White supremacy

This is, again, NOT meant to be a /pol/ thread. I just was wondering if there’s literature which isn’t straight up the Turner Diaries, Mein Kampf, or the Unabomber Manifesto which encapsulates this eerie aura today of social justice politics, extreme political correctness, the cult of the victim, censorship, anti-White and anti-male, sentiment rising in Hollywood, pop literature and culture and music, magazines, editorials, journals, education., academic
Is, etc., or do I have to write it myself? I’ll give some pics as examples of what I mean and once again this is not meant to be a /pol/ thread if it sounds like one.

To make it more /lit/, are there Philip K. Dick-esque parodies of a Soviet America ruled by these PC types, purple-haired transgender Antifa lunatics as the new commissars, BLM and Antifa as the vanguard of a violent Marxist revolution, and so on?

Philip Roth wrote a book about America under hypothetical Nazi rule, so my question basically is about America under BLM/LGBT mega-capitalist rule with the balls to call out political correctness as the mask behind anti-White sentiment and masculinity, and against Western civilization as a whole, dramatic as that sounds. It may not quite seem like that, now, but the whole gist of reactionaries (which I admit to being) is that this is its inevitable outcome.

I wouldn't call it literature, but you should check out Ron Jonson's 'So You've Been Publicly Shamed'. It's funny and imo not as disgustingly biased as other books on the topic.

also picrel is stupid. the mask is to protect others. you can still transmit covid if you have the vaccine.

[Anonymous No.18917713]

Sorry if I’m incoherent. A little high. Basically, a book which not only PORTRAYS it but has the balls to point it out for what it is — portray it as fascism. A modern 1984 or Brave New World but including new phenomena like normalization of BLM and Antifa violence and demonization of Whites, forced transgender surgeries on children, etc as part of the dystopian nightmare. A modern 1984 or Brave New World written by an Isaiah or Jeremiah of sorts, who precisely wants to pull at the dark underbelly of what’s politically incorrect, instead of being politically correct tripe about the lived experience of BIPOC or whatever?

Basically, transgressive in that it’s even POLITICALLY transgressive. Again, not sound like /pol/, but is there anything like this that’s real and well written, or do I have to do it myself and ironically be the next Henry Miller, Vladimir Nabokov, etc., in terms of having their books burned by social justice warriors?

This, again, is not about /pol/ specifically but about the aesthetics of political correctness.

Something like a David Dees painting meets Naked Lunch, Brave New World, 1984, a Philip K. Dick movie or book (such as “The Man in the High Castle”) and/or a satire of America in the vein of “It Can’t Happen Here” by Sinclair Lewis or Philip Roth’s “The Plot Against America.”

It discusses the concept of Ketman, the practice of openly complying with the ruling ideology of the time while secretly harboring dissident views.
On a related note, I’ve started taking off my mask in public sporadically and no one has scolded me yet. I already got the first shot of Sputnik, people who got vaxxee shouldn’t be required to wear the mask.

Because you refuse, on principle, to acknowledge the aura OP describes, or consider it anything beyond laughable paranoia. There is really no reason so shame the skeptical unless you are foolish enough to not be skeptical, or you simply side with those you believe shouldn’t be questioned

[Anonymous No.18918063]

>>18917889
the whole point is that the subcultures have ceased to become minority, even if the actual populations remain so (e.g. there are far more trans-movement zealots than transgenders, and the impact on large international corporations is far greater than other, more populous demographics) and what the potential impact of this is.
a lot of these policies have trickled down, by means of the politically sympathetic, into public school curriculums-- there is an unironic, concentrated effort to affect the minds of children and make them more receptive to this kind of quasi-political indoctrination. if you fail to recognize this as serious, it's 100% the result of your own intenitonal ignorance

Why would I acknowledge when it's literally irrelevant outside of hysteric online circles and cheap propaganda peddled to the most stupid and ill-educated of the population?

I'm not American. Sorry your country is broken. Speaking as a teacher, modern pedagogy largely folds into the idea that teaching children to assess and analyse critically is best practice.

[Anonymous No.18918128]

>>18918089
it's relevant to the thread you chose to post in, you fucking child. if a classical music enjoyer decided to post smugly and ignorantly on a forum specifically for hip-hop fans, they could rightly expect to be derided as a fucking shill for outdated and irrelevant status quo principles.

Baffled by what argument you're trying to make. You brought up schools and it's something I know enough to comment on. Teaching kids to think for themselves is good because it means they can surpass you in the right conditions.
You don't give a fuck, but maybe you should. Maybe you'd learn to think for yourself rather than parroting reactionary youtubers.

[Anonymous No.18918166]

>>18918143
but you haven't offered a can-opener (a solution) you've offered an insult. further, no one's opening a can with their teeth (attempting something obvious, in an incorrect manner) OP is asking for books recs based on his own perceptions of the world we live in. all you did was jump in to call him stupid, so I feel obligated to off you a solution now: shut the fuck up

[Anonymous No.18918202]

To be honest OP, I don't see why you need a book to explain the shit that you're able to witness yourself. People are regressing back to tribal mentality and white people are going to be the last to do so, so we get the short end of the stick. Multicult is a failure. Why are our governments still pushing it? Well that's where things get a little /pol/. The progressive agenda creates ideologues, people who think they are victims, even in modern society, so they take it out on the common working man who has found stability and isn't a victim. Also communists control education so it's only going to get worse unless people just refuse to go to college. But this will create a doomed system since every job that doesn't suck needs a degree and a certificate. Shits fucked.

digging down as in there seems to be more, irrelevant points added to our discussion only by you: you're a teacher, the American education system, educational theory, how to teach kids-- these have nothing to do with acknowledging a skepticism of the status quo in general, or at least in terms of whether having said outlook is acceptable enough to ask for fucking book recs.
I don't know whose boot it is but it must be tasty to keep you here this long.
>most teachers
oh fuck off, it was an insult to get you to shut the fuck up which you seem resistant to doing in any case. in the very least, you admit you are a teacher and I can identify that you're a moron. ergo: there is a distinct correlation between being a teacher and being a moron I will identify, but say no more on ;)
my anonynymity is different because it is maintained and appreciated, whereas you seem to want to identify yourself in an effort to make me see your point-- arguing from authority. if you want to do this maybe you should fuck off to... well, you know where...

Pic related is domestic guidelines from your country's public health agency. This seems to imply that being vaccinated reduces your ability to spread the virus. I think the most obvious conclusion is that while being vaccinated does not prevent you from spreading the virus (neither do masks), it does significantly reduce the likelihood, because your body will recover faster and you will no longer be infected. If you know of any data that confirms this though I'd be interested to see (not being sarcastic)
