If only daddyless zoomers knew, once upon a time, there was a chad popular mytho-religious synthesizer who didn't abuse benzos, marry a whore wife, have a whore daughter, and whore himself out slobbering ZOG dong like the virigin Petersen.

Christians are too narcissistic and insecure, that's why they killed off all the other competing religions in the past.

Because he was an "antisemite" and le bigot for daring to think abrahamic faiths were comparatively backward and out of touch with the needs of man.

>At one faculty function, in 1969 or '70, I found myself drinking with Campbell and another, older, equally right-wing teacher. At some point in the evening, Campbell, responding to a remark I can't recall, said something to the effect that he could always spot a Jew. I, a Jew, said, ''Oh?'' Whereupon Campbell went into a description of how the New York Athletic Club had ingeniously managed for years to keep Jews out. He went on and on, telling his story in the most charming and amiable fashion, without any self-consciousness about the views he was expressing and, indeed, without any overt animus - for all that he obviously relished the notion of keeping Jews out of anywhere any time, forever. As soon as I could, I said goodnight, and Campbell and I never had much to do with each other again.

>Subsequently, in my many years at Sarah Lawrence, I heard over and over again that Campbell was contemptuous of women and that he missed few opportunities to disparage black people.

I like him even more now.

I've never checked him out because they idea of there only being a certain number of stories has always annoyed me greatly. I like the new Hollywood stuff he influenced.

It‘s wild how Lucas was able to take his framework and use it to completely upend our socio-spiritual framework so that he could make a lot of money.

>>24515732
it's not that outlandish like if u read a book on fantasy genre there are a certain amount of stories, i forget them all bu there's like "the epic quest" which saves the world lord of rings etc., the sword and sorcery adventure like conan, there's the portal fantasy where someone from our world ends up in the fantasy world yankee in king arthur's court, john carter, and idk a couple others but you really can fit more narratives into certain forms, p sure even aristotle wrote sth about this tho he commingled forms with plot like a play/tragedy always has certain elements while epic poetry sth else, and so on

lucas kinda ripped off dune tho, if herbert could have got a dune movie off first instead of star wars the impact would have been a lot less, too bad they entrusted the movieto a wacko like todorofsky and by the time they could get lynch to do it star wars was already on empire strikes back

>>24515617
Yeah, facing persecution constantly will do that to you. Are you retarded? Read Schmitt
