the only real homosexual sapien in existence is the anglo. he has conquered the seas, the land, tamed all manner of beasts, contributed heavily to the development of mankind at the behest of his own people, he creates and leaves marks wherever he walks, he lays down his hands and approaches all matters with utmost patience and resilience, there has never been a race so just, so reliable, so hardworking in the history of mankind, when the first ape preserved the charcoaled fire laying from the cacophonous roar of morther natures stormy wrath, it was the anglo ape who took it and nurtured it, it was he who never lit it dim light burn out, and it will never be forgotten that he was the only one of gods creations to venture forth into greater pastures. to kneel yourself in reverence is not enough, you must grant him all objects in your posession, all lodgings you hold dear must be evacuated and made ready for his timely arrival, for the anglo ape is not benevolent, and his firey wrath may be brought down upon you with utmost haste shoudl you fail to recognise your misgivings. our anglo god smiles upon his creations, while the herd of unwashed masses inhabiting the same earth on which they have been granted all things sit in confused anger unable to recognise their rightful masters

Good. Hollywood sex scenes are gay as frick with stunt asses and fake cringe garbage. Either have sex for real or don't show it at all. Either way it serves no purpose
It's usually sex scenes that don't further the plot, and make half the audience uncomfortable so yeah I don't blame them.
One of my best teachers in school was playing a film with a minor love arc in it, but being school appropriate did not have sex scenes. He paused the movie to ask if the love characters were having sex. The class unanimously said no, because there was none portrayed. Wrong answer, he said. Of course they're having sex! It's just not necessary to show it. This was teaching us to read between the lines, to pay attention to detail and nuance.
RIP Mr. Materazi, you were a real one.
Captcha: SGRNT
I think you either go all the way, like Betty Blue, or none at all. In a real relationship the two people are constantly horny for each other, especially at the beginning. If you want to show them being horny then they should constantly be grabbing at each other, they should be naked around each other, they should be fricking every day. Hollywood sex scenes are stupid. Lights off, under the covers, she keeps her shirt on. It's boring as hell.
Tolkien spent years struggling with the morality of his own setting and being unable to cope with ideas like orc being inherently evil creatures created by a demonic force. Going through a succession of retcons where he changed their origin story to better fit his pastoral Catholicism.
>Tolkien spent years struggling with the morality of his own setting
You're a moron for not understanding the clear distinctions between good and evil in his published pieces of work. Regardless of what the morality of the fricking orcs were, melkor is quite literally a representation of Lucifer including all of the Maia that follow him as well as his personal creations being inherently evil and defying eru. Stop pretending to be clever on an image board you fricking midwit
>personal creations
You don't know anything about Tolkein's writing.
He struggled immensely with the concept of how an evil force could create.

Tolkien did not like the idea of an evil force being able to create.
First, it disparages the power of creation from being something that only good can do. Only good can make something new. Evil can only twist and corrupt.
And beyond that, within his Catholic world view, you're opening the door to Gnosticism. Where if one evil 'god' can create, what is stopping another? All the way up to the question of 'is this world the product of an evil god'?
There is a reason that most Christian denominations claim that demons and the devil cannot make new things.

Fight Club wasn't FRICKING written by FRICKING millennials, though. Now that they've taken over Hollywood, every FRICKING piece of FRICKING dialog has to FRICKING sound the FRICK like this.

>the good guys are le good and the bad guys are le bad because... they just are
LOTR is just more juvenile young adult slop. It's like Harry Potter only for early 20s "tradcaths" instead of liberal women. It's not better due to its influence and depth of lore.
The most annoying thing about GRRM is his realist pretence while his understanding of the world and human psychology is that of a teenager who just recently read Nietzsche and Machiavelli
The annoying thing about him is that anyone that is villainous (because there are obvious villains) has plot armor as thick as a brick wall, and anyone that is heroic (because there are obvious heroes) gets killed for bumping into someone on the street.
And his precious author's pets like Tyrion, Daenerys, and Cercie, are so obviously going to make it to the end that it kills all the tension.
He is uneven handed to a great degree despite the facade.
The operative element there is how bullies exert effort to navigate and manipulate the system to avoid getting in trouble and their victims think the world will recognize who’s in the right/wrong
The problem there is that he has a setting where all the bullies never get in each other's ways and exist simply to be villainous towards the heroes.
Reality is that actual systems where everyone is a bully turn into mass melees of backstabbing. Like Late Byzantium.
Where someone like Cercie would have been killed by a scribe years ago over some petty grudge. Tywin wouldn't have gotten killed in a climactic moment where he dies covered in shit, but would have died to being poisoned by some ambitious provincial lord.
GRRM isn't appealing to realism even in your system.
>The world is full of corrupt government officials and politicians who are consistently and relentlessly fricking over the entire world for the sake of their rich donors >Social media and the internet makes it incredibly blatant and easy to see, along with the almost complete lack of any consequences
"why are modern writers so depressed and nihilistic tho?"
It's just trending. Over time, things ebb and flow. In the 80s high concept movies with easily defined good and evil were very popular in stark contrast to the 70s where gritty crime movies and character studies with much more ambiguous grey area were the norm. Lord of the Rings movies were hugely popular with their clearly defined good and evil, and so was the Game of Thrones show with its morally grey characters.

How are these morons still seething over “MUH JAN 6TH???”

Any excuse to not write, the fat lazy frick. He's right about one thing, though. We are living in the Weimar Republic, he's just wrong about the reason.

Weimar is coming, but he's one of the culprits.
I didn't save the screenshot, but an anon here posted an analysis of ASOIAF about how towards the end it was going to show that actually traditional morality is indeed best >Circe's mercenary realpolitik allows her to easily TAKE power, but it becomes precarious because you're too busy looking for daggers in the back to lead >Meanwhile Ned inspires loyalty innanorf years after his death, and despite his bannermen suffering heavy losses because he demonstrates that loyalty will be answered in kind >Arya's tale of vengeance isn't a YASS KWEEN SLAY story of badassery, it's a tragedy of a broken girl who recites the names of those who have wronged her like a prayer, and is unable to make friends; slowly losing her humanity until she is literally "no one" >The Boltons and Freys, like the Lannisters, make short-term gains through treachery, but quickly find themselves ostracized from their honorable neighbors >Dany is a straight example that royal blood alone doesn't give you the right to rule, given she does a renegade interrupt at every single occasion, showing little regard for the wreckage she leaves in her wake, alienating her advisors until she's all alone
There's more but I forgot. Anyway, I thought it was an ACTUAL subversion of expectations like everyone wants to do, rather than the "what would everyone least expect right now?" subversion that DnD did.
>Arya's tale of vengeance isn't a YASS KWEEN SLAY story of badassery, it's a tragedy of a broken girl
Even if that's good idea on paper, it was a TERRIBLE execution in play
Martin is literally crying about muh hecking dictator Trump in 2024. He always meant it at absolute surface level, in his mind Arya is the ideal woman who will bring down the evil white patriarchy. I know that you think I'm kidding, but you really have to read the shit he talks about in his regular life.
Because it's aimless moral regression and it's not innovative or impressive; it's what happens when a society loses faith in itself and just thinks glibly in meaningless power for power sake. Faithless regression to Nihilism.
>and it's not innovative or impressive
God forbid people consume more challenging media that's not a black/white biblical allegory. Blame parents for allowing pop media to instill moral systems in their children if thats what you think it's doing
It's not challenging. What's impressive about one-note radical skepticism and to be cynically dismissive about any virtue or truth or value?
It's cowardice since people like Martin don't actually have to stand up for any of their beliefs/values else face the same glib criticism they are shading.
Making a book about his "values" seen here on his blog
seems trapped in his own world
would be embarrassing so he hides in the shade of nihilistic deconstruction of other people's values.
moral grayness and muh relativism are not challenging (unless you are a teen) and are quintessential antiintellectualism.
You mind and spirit get noting from consuming that shit.

When a contrarian teen says this it's not an insult. You are just putting medals on my chest.
Tradition is just a guise to wear for those that can't make anything new themselves.
It is a childish way of thinking that is a replication of a toddler looking to mommy and daddy to explain how the world works.
But eventually you learn that mom and dad are imperfect people who are wrong about stuff as much as they are right. But in your panic you instead start thinking that if they're wrong about stuff, assuredly those in the past were always correct.
Learn to be an individual.
Dismissing concept like truth, good, beauty and similar things that we spent millennia trying to define, isn't "making new stuff".

Asoiaf did have clear morality though: if you cucked other characters you got slaughtered.
That targaryen guy who cucked robert? Chest crushed with a hammer.
Catelyn stark cucked littlefinger along with Ned. Both got brutally executed.

Yas qwain slay cucked several men playing 'I'm a strong woman grrr' and every c**t and simp in the country bought into it only for her to go psycho and by extension make them look psycho.

This should be the official Games of Thrones definition
The only characters in Son of Ice and Fire painted as good guys usually die hard and fast. The biggest one gets his head cut off in the first book, his nephew gets shanked for being a stand-up guy, and his son gets beheaded at his uncle's wedding.

>"The survivors lay quietly in that cratered void and watched the whitehot stars go rifling down the dark. Or slept with their alien hearts beating in the sand like pilgrims exhausted upon the face of the planet Anareta, clutched to a namelessness wheeling in the night."
Superior modern Bong writing
>"The spiders... they want me to tap dance!... I don't wanna tap dance!"
is this the book by wendigoon? very cool. know any good audio versions?
Read another book
yeah this book is pretentious hype. judge was alright, but i don't need five pages describing dust devils
Falseflagging homosexual or a zoomie who hasn't heard of Moby Dick
>muh cowboys and indians western
>but its super violent
Go and watch Django or The Great Silence or The Unforgiven.
sorry you're no longer allowed to like blood meridian, it got too popular
>not Moby Dick
>not Butchers Crossing
>b-b-but guys check out my gormac magarthy and his heccin cool violent bookerino
you have profound moronation and shit taste in literature, read more books
>book le reads like it was written by a spastic
Blood Meridian is alright but it's got nothing on No country for old men
The man opened the door and went in the house and took off his shoes and sat down and ate the bread and it was good bread and he said this is good bread. Outside, little dust devils spun in the tremulous gossamer under a corprescent crimson sky like schoolchildren playing in the playground at school.
b-But the Pringles machine man!
99% of what you watch is burger media though? Culture is still Americas largest export.
>Culture
More like social poison disguised as propaganda
Yet you can’t help yourself from sucking it down. What does that make you?
I don't watch goyslop
Keep seething
We both know you do though. Write down the last ten movies you watched, the last ten albums you listened to, I’d say books but we both know you don’t read. Then see how many are American.
>no
>n-no u do I KNOW YOU DO IM NOT PROJECTING
settle down, 56% face
No. I stopped years ago when it became repetitive propaganda.
Who are the great European writers of recent time you absolute moron?
There are no "great" writers of recent time, European or otherwise. We have been experiencing a cultural void for centuries.
The correct answer.
So you are a delusional moron holding on to the past with nothing to say about the present times. Just tell me if you can. But I know you can't because there are no great writers anymore dumb frick.
>cultural void
No such thing. There is a culture but you don't like it.
waving homosexual flags and crying about racism online is not a culture
is mental illness
Yes, it is. You not liking it does not change that.
Lmao delusional
It literally is a culture.
There is no such thins as "no culture" because culture is just the average sum of people's actions in a society.
Having no culture mean everyone would be dead.
again when people say no culture it's short-hand for no worthwhile culture
He and his israelitebot buddy are trying to derail the thread because they're scared of Tolkien lmao.
>no culture it's short-hand for no worthwhile culture
Then how would you say "no culture" and mean no culture? You can't just "short-hand" everything, use your words like a big boy.
you literally have no brain
Well those people are dumb.
They should just say what they mean.
>when I say things I don't mean the things I say
are you a woman?
Worse. He's a sub 50% male.
For the last time..
schizophrenia is NOT a culture
the question is if it has anything worthwhile to say. all indicators point to no.
Id answer but i dont think you even read so i doubt youd even know what authors im talking about fatso.
Just say that literature is dead
replaced by garbage like blockbuster modern movies and video games
I agree that mutt literature can be very good but angloid literature always lacked something in my opinion. like, who's the anglo equivalent to houllebeq?
>reads incel garbage
>thinks his opinion needs to be heard or has any weight
lol, lmao even
I'm talking about the style. More offensive without being vulgar I guess
Zoomers want less sex in movies.
Good. Hollywood sex scenes are gay as frick with stunt asses and fake cringe garbage. Either have sex for real or don't show it at all. Either way it serves no purpose
yeah
so?
I also want less quips and grey morality buttholes in my media *taking revenge isn't immoral btw
Watching a sex scene is more cucked than being cucked.
Because sex scene now are crass and gay. I hollywood made stuff like they did in previous decades, I doubt whey would want less of it
It's usually sex scenes that don't further the plot, and make half the audience uncomfortable so yeah I don't blame them.
One of my best teachers in school was playing a film with a minor love arc in it, but being school appropriate did not have sex scenes. He paused the movie to ask if the love characters were having sex. The class unanimously said no, because there was none portrayed. Wrong answer, he said. Of course they're having sex! It's just not necessary to show it. This was teaching us to read between the lines, to pay attention to detail and nuance.
RIP Mr. Materazi, you were a real one.
Captcha: SGRNT
They wer fine when it was about brief playful titillation for normal people.
What they do now is just crass softcore porn for gays and wine aunts
I think you either go all the way, like Betty Blue, or none at all. In a real relationship the two people are constantly horny for each other, especially at the beginning. If you want to show them being horny then they should constantly be grabbing at each other, they should be naked around each other, they should be fricking every day. Hollywood sex scenes are stupid. Lights off, under the covers, she keeps her shirt on. It's boring as hell.
people who think Tolkien is as he is described in this shitty meme are midwits who do not understand Tolkien
Explain then, loremaster.
Tolkien spent years struggling with the morality of his own setting and being unable to cope with ideas like orc being inherently evil creatures created by a demonic force. Going through a succession of retcons where he changed their origin story to better fit his pastoral Catholicism.
>Tolkien spent years struggling with the morality of his own setting
You're a moron for not understanding the clear distinctions between good and evil in his published pieces of work. Regardless of what the morality of the fricking orcs were, melkor is quite literally a representation of Lucifer including all of the Maia that follow him as well as his personal creations being inherently evil and defying eru. Stop pretending to be clever on an image board you fricking midwit
>personal creations
You don't know anything about Tolkein's writing.
He struggled immensely with the concept of how an evil force could create.
Retconning the orcs to just being twisted and distorted elves, among other backstories.
You're just a moron. Stop posting. Forever.
>You don't know anything about Tolkein's writing.
>"DURR HURR WE WANT TO PILLAGE AND RAPE DURR HURR"
wow
>how an evil force
>evil
>w-wait no haha there's totally grey morality because my heccin orcs he's JUST like my jorjor martin
your brain is a piece of chicken fillet
Tolkien did not like the idea of an evil force being able to create.
First, it disparages the power of creation from being something that only good can do. Only good can make something new. Evil can only twist and corrupt.
And beyond that, within his Catholic world view, you're opening the door to Gnosticism. Where if one evil 'god' can create, what is stopping another? All the way up to the question of 'is this world the product of an evil god'?
There is a reason that most Christian denominations claim that demons and the devil cannot make new things.
Orcs are already known in Tolkien lore to be corruption of the life.
That just the israeli mindvirus inhibiting him form seeing the world as it is.
>grey morality is a modern invention
Is there a bigger sign that an anon has never read a book since highschool? Barring maybe genreslop.

>Nooo my movies have to be heckin' wholesome 100!
Millennial version: FRICK NOOOOOOOO my FRICKING movies have to be FRICKING wholesome 100 FRICKING percent of the FRICKING time
If anything Millennials were more edgy.
Fight Club is the quintessential millennial movie.
Zoomers are just apathic, emotional stunted and nihilistic
>Zoomers are just apathetic, emotional stunted and nihilistic
>This is bad because...uhh...because okay?
exactly zoom zoom
>Not explaining why that is bad
Fight club is a gen x movie.
Fight Club wasn't FRICKING written by FRICKING millennials, though. Now that they've taken over Hollywood, every FRICKING piece of FRICKING dialog has to FRICKING sound the FRICK like this.
Don't forget the puns and poorly time jokes.
>millenitards = Hazbin
>zoomers and conscious gen Alphas = Amazing Digital Circus

Fight Club is a Gen X movie.
Millennials were like 10-15 when it came out.
FC was for the Gen X audience, the people old enough to pay to see it in theaters.
Something something Discworld Hogfather speech about good and evil being a fantasy but a necessary one.
>the good guys are le good and the bad guys are le bad because... they just are
LOTR is just more juvenile young adult slop. It's like Harry Potter only for early 20s "tradcaths" instead of liberal women. It's not better due to its influence and depth of lore.
>It's no better
It is better. I'm all for saying both are just fantasy novels. But comparing the two as fantasy novels it's night and day.
My point was more to compare the autistic fanaticism for two childreens fantasy series
Oh, to be sure. Tolkien fans are their own brand of annoying.
You're borderline illiterate.
>How can I understand who to root for if there are no clear good and evil sides?
You sound like a moron OP
The most annoying thing about GRRM is his realist pretence while his understanding of the world and human psychology is that of a teenager who just recently read Nietzsche and Machiavelli
The annoying thing about him is that anyone that is villainous (because there are obvious villains) has plot armor as thick as a brick wall, and anyone that is heroic (because there are obvious heroes) gets killed for bumping into someone on the street.
And his precious author's pets like Tyrion, Daenerys, and Cercie, are so obviously going to make it to the end that it kills all the tension.
He is uneven handed to a great degree despite the facade.
The operative element there is how bullies exert effort to navigate and manipulate the system to avoid getting in trouble and their victims think the world will recognize who’s in the right/wrong
>murders babies in the middle of the street
>but he paid a guard money so he gets away with it
Truly a dastardly mind
The problem there is that he has a setting where all the bullies never get in each other's ways and exist simply to be villainous towards the heroes.
Reality is that actual systems where everyone is a bully turn into mass melees of backstabbing. Like Late Byzantium.
Where someone like Cercie would have been killed by a scribe years ago over some petty grudge. Tywin wouldn't have gotten killed in a climactic moment where he dies covered in shit, but would have died to being poisoned by some ambitious provincial lord.
GRRM isn't appealing to realism even in your system.
Name a story where that is not the case.
Try watching something other than marvel slop and star wars for once
You mean like LE GAMES OF THRONES
>MUH SEXOOO
>MUH BLOODY BLOOD BLOODY SCENES!

Great critique

Seethe
It's just trending. Over time, things ebb and flow. In the 80s high concept movies with easily defined good and evil were very popular in stark contrast to the 70s where gritty crime movies and character studies with much more ambiguous grey area were the norm. Lord of the Rings movies were hugely popular with their clearly defined good and evil, and so was the Game of Thrones show with its morally grey characters.
Something in the middle would be the most kino.
It's called real life.
Literally Jaimes arc. That storyline alone completely disproves OPs little meme about GRRM being a "humanity is le bad" redditor.
Sometimes i re-read only his chapters cause they're so kino
ASoIaF would be 1000% better without fricking Jon Snow and Daenerys
actually frick it, just make Cersei and Jaime the only POV characters and it would be better
>The world is full of corrupt government officials and politicians who are consistently and relentlessly fricking over the entire world for the sake of their rich donors

How are these morons still seething over “MUH JAN 6TH???”
Are they feigning anger because they think that doing so will score them good boy points somewhere, or are they legitimately moronic?
>Are they feigning anger because they think that doing so will score them good boy points somewhere, or are they legitimately moronic?
yes
It's the Post-Truth mentality.
There's no narrative postmortem or catharsis, just believe narrative and consume next narrative.
Same shit with these types on Covid.
They regret not opening fire and fixing America right there and then
It's part of their ersatz religion. Believe the media, support the party, repeat the slogans.
Any excuse to not write, the fat lazy frick. He's right about one thing, though. We are living in the Weimar Republic, he's just wrong about the reason.
Weimar republic was based.
On what?
True.
Only no-pussy virgins think a society where you could drink and party and get blown by the hottest blonde and blue eyed fraulein around was bad.

There's more but I forgot. Anyway, I thought it was an ACTUAL subversion of expectations like everyone wants to do, rather than the "what would everyone least expect right now?" subversion that DnD did.
>Arya's tale of vengeance isn't a YASS KWEEN SLAY story of badassery, it's a tragedy of a broken girl
Even if that's good idea on paper, it was a TERRIBLE execution in play
>it was a TERRIBLE execution
Yeah, the show shit the bed HARD the moment they ran out of book shit, and I didn't mean to imply otherwise.
that'd be cool but he'd have to finish the books for that to play out
I don't think he will.
I don't think anyone will eventually even care.
Martin is literally crying about muh hecking dictator Trump in 2024. He always meant it at absolute surface level, in his mind Arya is the ideal woman who will bring down the evil white patriarchy. I know that you think I'm kidding, but you really have to read the shit he talks about in his regular life.
I think the image originated from twitter and it got debunked
It already affect cinema for years. Never liked that shit.
Because it's aimless moral regression and it's not innovative or impressive; it's what happens when a society loses faith in itself and just thinks glibly in meaningless power for power sake. Faithless regression to Nihilism.
>and it's not innovative or impressive
God forbid people consume more challenging media that's not a black/white biblical allegory. Blame parents for allowing pop media to instill moral systems in their children if thats what you think it's doing
It's not challenging. What's impressive about one-note radical skepticism and to be cynically dismissive about any virtue or truth or value?
It's cowardice since people like Martin don't actually have to stand up for any of their beliefs/values else face the same glib criticism they are shading.
Making a book about his "values" seen here on his blog
would be embarrassing so he hides in the shade of nihilistic deconstruction of other people's values.
moral grayness and muh relativism are not challenging (unless you are a teen) and are quintessential antiintellectualism.
You mind and spirit get noting from consuming that shit.
Grow up
Black and white is literally chow for babies. What you describe as strengthening the spirit is becoming cattle.
Babies enjoy black and white because they are easy and satisfyng.
Angsty teen in their contrariran phase thow those away like they always do with any kind of wisdom.
Adults with a developed brain enjoy defined morality because you get to understand why and how somenting is or isn't that way.
Babies are incapable of wisdom. You are simply a adult child
So you can't even read and still call others "children"
Amazing
And like every teen brain ever, you think you are on your personal (anti)intellectual peak
I can read. Adults enjoy gray morality. Manchildren like black and white.
That's a teen idead of what an adult looks like.
You'll grow out of it.
You will never grow up. It's why you should lose all rights as a adult and be treated like simple livestock.
When a contrarian teen says this it's not an insult. You are just putting medals on my chest.
Dismissing concept like truth, good, beauty and similar things that we spent millennia trying to define, isn't "making new stuff".
And teenage contempt isn't "being an individual" Everyone were like you are now for few years, before growing up
They are lies, not creations, and should be wiped out of principle.
It will never pass for you. Only death can fix you.
>They are lies, not creations, and should be wiped out of principle.
Which one of these "lies" did your father told to you that you couldn't accept?
>It will never pass for you. Only death can fix you.
All this teen anger simply proves that I'm right
None. Why do you assume as such?
There is no anger. What I say is a simple fact. Nothing more.
Why do the definitions of those before me matter?
The previous attempts of those before me are only interesting in terms of where they failed, so I can know where not to replicate their mistakes. As advice, it is not valuable.
Childish obsession with finding a leader to follow is pathetic. You're just replacing mommy and daddy with an abstract elder wisdom instead. A refusal to embrace your individual intellect and judgement.
>Why do the definitions of those before me matter?
You'll get there with time
>A refusal to embrace your individual intellect and judgement.
You clearly aren't doing that. You are every single teenager to ever exist.
No, learning that those before you were dumbasses, is part of becoming an adult.
You only learn with time that you cannot rely on tradition or conventional wisdom passed down to you.
You are still a child inside. Always looking for an adult to tell you what to do.
You clearly are some disgruntled teen. In the last few hours your parents of teachers shouwed you they know better than you and you are throuwing a tantrum on thin anon forum.
You are totally adult for not hearing reasons, lmao
You are clearly a manchild that is trying his hardest to find some guidance in the world instead of cutting your own path.
Sounds like projection, again.
Listen to your parents. They know better moste of the times, even if you won't realize it for years
My parents literally told me they don't know as much as I think they do.
As a wise person would say.
Muche better than thinking you know better, like you just implied.
Grow up and look up to your parents, flaws and all
My parents told me to not listen to them because they don't know everything. By your own logic, that means I should ignore their wisdom.
You know what? Shure, why not?
That's exactly what you should do. Literally.
Go on.
I will. Now please, go jump in frontbof a train. Like I said, death is the only cure for you.
See you when your will be out of this phase, kiddo
bye
You are trapped in a state of arrested development.
People don't write books for the sake of society.
Woketards do. And they suck
True, true
Care to post some examples?
All the latest big production movies (Avatar 2, Rebel Moon..) are pretty much the same "DUR HURR GOOD GUY GOOD! BAD GUYS BAAAAD! DUR"
No, those examples are "WHITE MEN BAD ANCIENT ROME BAD AMERICA BAD RELIGION BAD BROWN WOMEN OF GAYNESS GOOD" you're getting confused because they're designated good guys instead of good people who actually do good things (besides nominally support modern """values""" like divershitty and women good)
holy fricking shit have a nice day
That is black and white. The fact you are part of the black does not change that. Seeing you murdered is a objective good to most people.
Stop identifying with the villain you demoralized cuck.
That is a clear black and white moral system, join the club on the good side.

For all human beings. German Monarchy was a failure.
The epitome of myopic arrogance is thinking you know better than the sum of peole that came after you. Especially when talking about culture/philosophy/literature that are basically forged around the human nature for millennia.
TLDR: you have a teen brain. It will pass
Older people believed in fairies.
They were morons with nothing of worth to say. Simple as.
They were working whit what little science they had around. What's your excuse for not knowing what is a woman.
>Insane strawman
This your vaunted ancestor wisdom? No wonder they drank their own piss and died when they were thirty.
What is a woman?
A memetic concept.
point a gun to someone's head and all those "memes" & "social constructs" become suddenly very real
A miserable little pile of pussy
>muh trannies
Find a new obsession already.
Remember, when it comes to nerd communities, the trannies are coming from inside the house.
Autistic men like yourselves are the most likely crowd around to go and cut your dicks off and dress in drag. So be careful.
Struck a nerve, uh?
The one that gets annoyed at seen autistic man-children repeat the same talking points for years on end.
Go and become obsessed about trains or tanks, instead of dick cutters.
Yeah what a bunch of morons right, meanwhile people today believe that a man wearing a dress is woman
They do not. You are simply mentally ill.
Like they used to be.
>Older people believed in fairies.
Give specific examples. The rudimentary basics of the scientific method were already systematically established as early as ~1200. People weren't nearly as moronic a few hundred years ago as you might think.
Still moronic. Their wisdom is of zero value.
The value of wisdom is reversible proportional to the stupidity of the future generations
Are you going to give examples or no?
>Believe in fairies.
Which is why it's of no value anymore.
>believes in le hecking science
Yes.
Fairies are not powering my washing machine. The product of science is.
>about 2000 years ago someone in Ireland believed in fairies, therefore all of human history up until the moment I arbitrarily decided is worthless
There were no books at the time those hills were made. Even the name "fairie forts" is pure speculation.
You cannot explaing what powers your washing machine, not without quoting what current wisdom says. Just like those ancient people.
Yes, I can. That is why the scientific nethod works and ancestor wisdom just causes you to murder your wife.
I'm sure you can, lol.
Sounds like a ex teen friend of mine that would totally invent the train if he could go back in time
Sure, it's the scientific method that keeps you from murdering wives
Yes, I can. Not hard to figure out based on the available information. That is the difference between science and the madness you believe in.
>The science has been settled!
How's that global warming working for ya
are we underwater yet
No. But we also build massive dikes. Which ended centuries of floods.
NTA but in that case any positive side effect being the result of religion would also count as an argument. If you now answer "there were no positive side effects" we will know that you never read anything about the history of science in your entire life.
I have mostly left religion out of it. Believe in fairies, or other supernatural phenomenon, is not religion. Acting like it is intellectually lazy and disingenuous.
Do you live in some kind of alternate reality where the majority of people believed in "faeries" up until 20 years ago or something?
Most Americans believe that WWE is real and that 9/11 was faked
To be fair, one of those is true.
>Most Americans believe that WWE is real and that 9/11 was faked
I don't think you know what "most" means.
I remember 2000 perfectly well. It was not a particularly pious time.
>Sure, it's the scientific method that keeps you from murdering wives
Is the fear of God what keeps people from killing each other
Fear of God is useful (back then just as now) for those who need further reasons to deal with facts and truths beyond "it's fact and true"
That's why absndoning religion is a mistake
It is entirely possible to deduce how electricity works from basic principles and then apply it.
I had to build and power a small motor in science class in high school. Therefore I can deduce how a washing machine works independent of any prior documentation on electricity.
Even modern science can't fully explain the lightning phenomenon
For all we know, there might be fairies involved
God of the gaps tier reasoning.
I'm sure you would, if what you just said wasn't handed to you by some science man.
>someone in the past believed in fairies, I saw it in a movie once, and that's why everything that came before me is worthless!
The irony.
You can read it in books written back then as well.
People believed in dumb stuff.
Imagine people in 100 years from now on
>man look at these morons from the XXI century
>with their vaccines and tik tok videos
>no wonder they were all morons
You don't talk to your father anymore, is that it?
Fairy forts in Ireland.
And that applies to all of human history how?
Yes, basically every society had something similar.
Shrines, holy fetishes, ritualistic places.
And people still believed in them until recently.
You sound underaged.
You sound like a manchild.
Those are over 2500 years old.
Younger people believe they are furries.
They are furries.
Also, people in the past literally believed they had sex with animal spirits. Modern furries are a step down.
point out where i said i knew better than the people that came before me please
When you dismissed the wuintessence of literature and culture, forget though millennia to speak to human nature, and its attempt to define morality and higher values.
Alos here
Nta, but I 100% know more and better than people of the past.
I'm sure you believe that now.
It will pass
i dismissed the statement in that epic redpilled meme and nothing more. alos those other two arent me
Tradition is just a guise to wear for those that can't make anything new themselves.
It is a childish way of thinking that is a replication of a toddler looking to mommy and daddy to explain how the world works.
But eventually you learn that mom and dad are imperfect people who are wrong about stuff as much as they are right. But in your panic you instead start thinking that if they're wrong about stuff, assuredly those in the past were always correct.
Learn to be an individual.
You absolute fricking buffon. Tolkien never created purely good or purely bad characters. He argued that pure Good and pure Evil exists and you can define them, but not one character is fully bad of fully evil.
true, just because something isnt black and white it doesnt make it good or ''subversive''
Not only that. It's also usually empty and somewhat infantile

This. They hate Tolkien with a passion, it was especially bad once the Amazon pajeets got mixed in because of RoP.
Everyone was awful in Game of Thrones?
>Traditional things good because...because some old israelite says so or something!
You're 100% a israelite if you're seriously trying to claim that israelites of all people would tell whites to care about their ancestors and traditions.
There is a good chance that you aren't even white yourself. And yes, israelites do want people to care about traditions.
>actively defending israeli subversion tactics
Don't you have to cover up some more human trafficking tunnels in NYC?
Traditions are a israeli method of controlling people
Yeah, like the thousands of years old tradition of persecuting and killing israelites.
sup shlomo
NTA but how the frick is that a defense? Of course people appeal to tradition. You could argue it's fake, but they do it regardless.
They do all the time, when they quote the Bible at Christians.
That is a pure appeal to tradition.

Concession accepted
How is that any different from the OP?
Yours is just a contrarian reaction.
the left really can't meme
The right can't either. They are just subhuman with low standards.
Leftism is fundamentally premised on collective thinking and organization, merit isn't required only agreement. Quite naturally they behave like a cult, they seem moronic and creepy to normal people.
Left is all about meritocracy. Right wing is just nobility dicksucking.
What do left and right even mean?
Mostly a term related to the French parliment.
Leftism will surely save the world.
It would if it let go of it's moralistic tendencies. Right now most left wing parties are more focused on being the good guy rather than playing to win.
Sponsored not by BlackRock, right?
Obviously.
It's not even real anyway.
>It would if it let go of it's moralistic tendencies
Leftism can't exist without the moralistic element. It's all it has.
Nah, it can. Though I half agree with more centrist liberal leftists. Then again those are declining anyway as more and more people realize being the doomed morally correct loser isn't fun.
You may not like him but Kramer does tell the truth.
Shut the frick up about this ''no culture shit'', stop beating around the bush and just say ''we hate this israeli culture'' and get fricking banned. THAT WOULD SURELY SAVE WESTERN CIVILIZATION! dumb /misc/tards
Current culture is culture as burning books is culture.
Back to leftypol, inbred
Book burning is a part of culture if that's the thing in vogue.
Really now?
NTA, but, yes? I think it was a mistake. But the culture the Nazis created, while anti human, was a culture.
If you stretch the meaning of "culture" to the point it means even its opposite, sure
What is the opposite of culture?
So older literature is basically childrens fantasy, while "modern media" tries to be more realistic?
I thought the meme would be about how writers now are a bunch of sensitive lame homosexuals who can't ignore their own personal politics to produce something enjoyable, but whatever.
>So older literature is basically childrens fantasy, while "modern media" tries to be more realistic?
It's mostly the opposite as people tend to use modern media as some form of escapism
No. They just mean Tolkien.
No. It's "modern media has no achievement"
It doesn't
The movies with the most revenue are Avatar and Endgame
what does that tell you of the modern audience
Are we talking about money now?
Weren't we talking about culture?
I guess modern culture can be proud to be represented in its achievements by the porn industry, then
People make culture
culture makes the people
people want to watch goyslop like the avengers
cultures makes customers and coomers
That's not how it works.
Negation of culture, like censorship, infantilization, dilution, stagnation etc etc.
Asoiaf did have clear morality though: if you cucked other characters you got slaughtered.
That targaryen guy who cucked robert? Chest crushed with a hammer.
Catelyn stark cucked littlefinger along with Ned. Both got brutally executed.
Tyrion's male relatives constantly subjected him to sexual humiliation. All dead.
Yas qwain slay cucked several men playing 'I'm a strong woman grrr' and every c**t and simp in the country bought into it only for her to go psycho and by extension make them look psycho.
My point is GRRM is a vanillagay who hates ntr, based as frick.
> if you cucked other characters you got slaughtered.
More like
"Act like a moron and play stupid games and win stupid prizes"
BRAVO GRRM
BRAVO Fatso
Such a thing never happened in lotr..
Yeah, it's a breath of fresh air when every other show is just some villain being painted as a hero or winning so fat aspiring cat ladies can finger themselves in between tubs of ice cream.
>show is just some villain being painted as a hero or winning so fat aspiring cat ladies can finger themselves in between tubs of ice cream.
This should be the official Games of Thrones definition
The only characters in Son of Ice and Fire painted as good guys usually die hard and fast. The biggest one gets his head cut off in the first book, his nephew gets shanked for being a stand-up guy, and his son gets beheaded at his uncle's wedding.
Actually you can act like a moron just fine.
So long as you're a villain, you'll get away with it, no questions asked.
There are definitely good and evil characters in ASOIAF, it's just that not every character is one or the other all the time.
Behold, the morally grey character.
You have to admit Martin is the better writer.
Our taste makers have become far too corrupted. It would be one thing if the corruption were only in a studio or two, but it is so widespread and far reaching that I legitimately believe conspiracy is at play.
