Saying that you like reading books is a countercultural statement in the modern world.

No it's not, you alongside many fuel a massive industry that functions around the whole world. Be it ancient, modern, slop, there is nothing countercultural to this consumption.

what does "countercultural" even mean? being against a few troons and normies online? such a superfluous expression.

any semblance of counterculture died 30 years ago, it is now a term with no valuable meaning. You are a nigger. If you tried describing "counterculture" you'd get nothing but, as >>24555838 states, a superfluous expression. Only Unzeitgemässe Betrachtungen come close, but that's a whole different conversation. OP is a massive faggot.

the point is that there is no such thing as a "the prevailing social norm" rendering it a superfluous or meaningless word. I mean, there's a reason why pamperchu has a large following.

It's a tiktok trend now, but it was once a tumblr trend, and before that another one came, and so on.

Reading for no reason other than your own pleasure is the true counterculture
In a world where every minute of your time needs to be productive, where people are brainwashed to self improve and embrace a 'hustle culture', the only true counterculture activity is to sit back and read literature
Art for art's sake
Yes I respect women who read slop more than men who read biographies or self-help in pursuit of 'greatness'

oh the westoid struggle.
No such thing as counterculture, unless you're a slave piggy to that culture. Reading literature has nothing to do with that ugly tendency you find in some people, it's countering nothing of it because it does not involve itself with it. Literature for itself, art for art's sake, has nothing to do with your little culture and thus has no need to counter it. Faggot.
