What do we think of Joyce Carol Oates' novels?

>>24869531 (OP)
What a resentful cunt. There is nothing to this life except money. Money over art and bullshit constructs like beauty any days.

>>24869531 (OP)
>if you don't post about it on social media it must mean that it doesn't exist
Why are women like this

>>24869531 (OP)
every time i see this woman post something, I remember her cat-hair infested keyboard.

>>24869536
actually i think it's fair to judge someone's inner life from their posts when they post as relentlessly and unfilteredly as Elon does

>>24869534
>There is nothing to this life except money. Money over art and bullshit constructs like beauty any days.
when you type stuff like this, is there even the smallest part of you that hesitates and thinks that maybe what you're really saying is: 'i personally have never known and cannot imagine anything in this life except money'?

>>24869546
Wasn't musk super vocal about liking a lot of nerd shit? I think nowadays he does it mostly for nerd cred, but he sure likes his autistic vidya and sci-fi

>>24869549
It's all posturing anon. Nobody is actually like that. Even Jews like other stuff aside for their money, like videos of Palestinian kids dying

>>24869549
It's all money. I am being able to post on 4chan because my parents paid for internet connection. My computer costed money. All is money. It is like John Stuart Mill when said there is nothing exceptional to him because anyone would have end up like him if they got same education as him.

I gained tons of knowledge why because I mooched off my parents.

>>24869568
and i'm able to post because i take a shit daily and thus my bowels don't explode and kill me, but that doesn't mean taking a shit is the meaning of life.

>>24869572
You eat food first which costs money. Money is the most important thing in life.

100s of published books and ive never heard her name uttered once here in Europe.

>Beauty & Meaning
says the monolingual yankee prose writer

>>24869568
so no then

>>24869591
Bitch try go and try to live without money for 2 years and then come back and tell me how much "beauty" you'll see. Poverty is turn people into beasts. I am from middle class and I know for a fact that you are an upper middle class piece of shit who fetishizes poverty.

>>24869602
self-hating middle class, that explains your posturing
show me on this doll just where capitalism touched you

>>24870041
And you are a self-hating rich faggot. You most probably hang around shady areas just to get the "taste of authenticity" like the insufferable bougie you are.

>>24869531 (OP)
Never read her novels, but she's completely right on this.

why is it that indians and brazilians always run in to defend musk? they always do this. on every single board.

you can tell because the anon sperging out above has that very peculiar broken english.

>>24870143
I am not defending Musk. He is a faggot. I am just defending money.

>>24869551
him claiming to be a "gamer" during that Path of Exile 2 release when in reality he was paying someone to play his character was pretty fucking funny.

>>24870160
people were spamming his pms while he was streaming it too. incredibly pathetic in the literal sense

>>24869551
yeah he loves vidya so much he pays some chang to play it for him, fellow autist

>>24869568
>My computer costed money
>I gained tons of knowledge why because I mooched off my parents.
clearly not enough

>>24869585
Stop anon, you don't have to sell me on her any more.

>>24869531 (OP)
I remember really liking You Must Remember This. Great novel about an incestuous relationship between a washed-up boxer and his teenage niece. He's a pathetic monster. Her journals are good too, which is surprising, writers' journals are rarely good if they're published while the writer's still alive.
>musk tweet
She's right and it's making muskfags very upset

what's her stance on men in dresses

>>24870185
fuck you

>>24870143
Brazilians have reasons to do so because a politicised judge banned twitter there.

>>24870292
In many ways I'd say you're less educated than you'd otherwise be had you never access to a computer. Money matters, even a lot, but I suppose it's not everything after all.

>>24870438
Kill yourself

>>24869531 (OP)
>shitting on elon
will always be based

>>24870569
this. imagine being so cucked and retarded to defend musk

She way out her league and does not understand a man's passion. He is trying to get us onto another planet, no time to talk about faggy stuff.

>>24870655
Men with such "passions" are uneducated, uncultured, and emotionally impoverished.

>>24869534
lol you sound even more resentful poorfag

>>24870655
I wonder if that really is his goal or he if he really has no passions. If it's his goal that's based, but I still don't support him since I will probably be left behind. But I respect it.

She's probably a crypto-terf.

>>24870711
now go ahead and complain it's shooped or inspected you insufferable esl shit

>>24870680
>>24870655
His passion is 'number goes up' that is it. All the rest is cope for the 'best way to make number go up'.

>>24870655

wow
Go fuck yourself in your fucking face!

The actual upper class is invisible just as the underclass is to most people.

>>24869568
>I am being able to post on 4chan because my parents paid for internet connection
And we all thought you were such a high roller.

>>24870880
The underclass is always visible. The upper class don't mug you, spray graffiti or vandalise your car.

>>24869534

>>24870893

No they're not.

>>24869568
>>24869575
That doesn't show that money is everything, that just shows money is dominant custom of means for services and products.
>You eat food first which costs money. Money is the most important thing in life.
The latter doesn't follow, that suggests instead that food is more important than money. Money will be important, but always of less importance than the things sought with money.

>>24870893
>The upper class don't mug you, spray graffiti or vandalise your car.
They explore you.

>>24869534
We're talking about a man who, on the exact same day, will give a lecture about how his life's work will lead to the diminishment of the human race and our replacement by technological forces, and then later worry that humans are losing their will to achieve glory and transcendence. We are talking about a man who has done nothing but debase us and then blames us, yells at us and sends his scorn to the 99.9% for being weak and complacent. He is the embodiment of everything wrong with modernity. Cancerous tumors like Elon Musk must be removed in order for our societies to survive.

>>24869534
>There is nothing to this life except money
You'll grow up one day

>>24872048
Is he predicting extinction in the first tweet? I mean he's write in that earth has finite resources.

>>24869568
There is money for basic needs and hobbies, and then theres Elon Musk money. The latter is what people usually mean when they say they "don't care about money."

Cope. Joyce Carol Oates's Xitter is 50+% seething about the GOP. There's a lot more getting mad at Trump or Elon than there is appreciation for nature or cats or friends or whatever present in her own account. The "I am more educated and cultured" thing doesn't really work when your behavior is indistinguishable from Elon's with a thin veneer of 2014 "heckin doggos" Reddit painted over it.

>>24872211
>doesn't really work when your behavior is indistinguishable from Elon's
So Elon's an obnoxious pseud shitter too? Thanks we know.

>>24869531 (OP)
She seems like a pretentious bitch.

>>24869536
Yeah, Twitter is for frivolity and shitposting. Judging a person entire based on that is probably not going to yield much worthwhile.

>>24869531 (OP)
Nothing, because I haven't read them, but this tweet is true and Elon is a massive, massive, massive, massive, massive, massive, massive, massive, massive, massive, massive, massive, massive, massive, massive, massive, massive faggot.

>>24872671
Yes, and so are you.

>>24873341
I am smarter than Elon Musk. Most white men with STEM degrees are. I'm smarter than you, too.

>>24869531 (OP)
>What do we think of Joyce Carol Oates' novels?
to be truthful this is the first time I heard her name. However instead of using OP image to show me something about her writing, you instead chose to post her liberal street-cred by dog-piling on someone because the blue-check crowd says so. I might have checked something of hers out had you not decided the best way to present me to her literarily was to announce her political ideas. You turned me off by this. You only get one chance to make a good first impression, and now I never will go look.

>>24869575
>You eat food first which costs money. Money is the most important thing in life.
I'm bout to eat deer burgers for dinner, with potatoes my neighbor grew in the garden. Dinner was free and better for me than spending that money. Money is as important as you make it be for your own view of the world. The OP image? She doesn't *really* think those things about him and she doesn't know. She's only dog-piling on because her blu-check crowd says to do it. When kids join in picking on the person a few bullies re picking on? She's just one of the kids doing it for fun. She's a ball of shit.

imagine hating him simply because your blue check friends say its the in thing to do.

>>24874545
>>I'm gonna be a pathetic baby retard and then be puh-roud of it
>how do I unsubscribe from your blog?
translation into english:
"If you agree with me, then I'll say you are educated and cultured. But you disagree with what I say, so you're a baby."
>
Your... education and culture? Is very profound. I'm in awe.

>>24874548
>hasn't been a thing since it was actually called tw*tter. What year are you from?
I'm in my fifties. I'm old enough to think for myself and form my own opinions about people. I have nothing against the man. I don't run and follow every trend, like OP and their ilk. I refuse to hate the man just because her group says so. I also don't go around puffing him up.

See, what I'm describing is being the a-d-u-l-t. you're just a person acting identical to grade-school children.

>>24874525
How are you on /lit/ and don't even know JCO's name? She's in every bookstore

>>24869531 (OP)
It’s curious that some of her age doesnt understand different people focus on different things. I happen to appreciate much of the things she listed but I wouldnt denigrate someone for not enjoying sports or literature or pets or films etc.

Just as I find people who think leisure and “non-productive” hobbies are dumb to be just as juvenile as she’s being.

>>24870655
What will he do all day on the new planet

>>24874553
I hated him back when everyone was still sucking his dick for being a business genius and inventing electric cars. He's slimy and offputting, always has been

Why is this 87 year old woman complaining about Elon Musk on social media, go spend more time with your family and friends granny

>>24869568
do you think money is as old as humans or what

>>24874565
this is borderline gibberish go take some smart pills

>>24874571
>I refuse to hate the man
you refuse to hate the man because you don't know anything about him because you're an ignorant retard living at least 5 years in the past. Everybody else from half a dozen fields of interest have heard Musk attempt to speak intelligently, be it AI, space travel, engineering, crypto, programming, or plain old video games, and understand him to be a faggot fraud and outright liar (see, path of exile crashout). A smart person would note not just the absence of a particular kind of culture, but the complete absence of ANY culture and understand him to be a bug, particularly in the context of one of his other chimpouts, viz. the H1B christmas crashout. Low info boomer you can leave now.
