I got no money to read books.
Anyway they also recently replaced all the old books in school curriculum in order to "update" it. But in this context apparently said kids are reading more than ever, it's all fake and gay shit.

Books are only worth reading if they teach you a tangible skill. Anything else is a waste of time.

reading books is honestly overrated
i read A LOT as a kid
and my vocabulary was always way above everyone around me
so much so that most people complained about the big words i would use regularly
meanwhile people who didn't give a fuck about reading
just hung out with girls and partied
and they have families and stable jobs
seems like reading is a waste of time,
i unironically agree with the guy
it's a waste for the average person, like me,
who even though im smart, i work at a grocery store, lol
there is no reason for me to be overeducated
it's actually counterproductive in my life

We're literally doing the same Online Safety Act and bringing it to the EU right now. Punishments going up, prison facilities getting built, ministry of justice questioning if we even need lawyers, all while talking about Real ID on the internet and setting up face recognition, and giving our CIA backdoor access to all encrypted services in less than 2 months from now.

Nothing I do is encrypted anyway but I just fear it's gonna be like Bongland where they drag people out over comments you made in a private chat because you said "fuck indians" or something.

It's a nice and relaxed country.

That's the stuff that bores most danes. They only tend to read feminist TrueCrime novels, where it's a "based" woman who acts like a boss, and it's just an ordinary crime detective story but where it's LE DARK and EDGY because murders are done by sadistic evil men, and discovering a serial killer is howwible!

I watched some of our national TV shows as well recently. Jfc, everything is written by and for women now, and doing the same shit about "incel culture" in a way that speaks directly to the viewer instead of an earnest narrative.

It kind of feels like everything here is a bad fanfic based on the style of Midsommar. I love that film but not these attempts at copying its vibe.

Reading increases intelligence and IQ. People who don't read are less intelligent. I read mainly non-fiction which is what most people read.

A lot of people want a big home, a family and a nice car. I just want to be able to live in my own studio apartment and read books. The problem is books are entering a hyperinflationary market. I can't afford to watch TV or even use internet so I read books I find in the dumpster. I exist off ramen and potted meat. If books cost like they did in the 80's (300k less percent than currently), I'd be able to live there rest of my life in peace. But instead I am stuck reading The Four Agreements (yuck!) that I found behind a dumpster and it was crawling with roaches. City life aint easy.

two things really. attention spans are fried and most would rather watch tik tok or browse the internet. it's certainty a lot easier to consume. also, most western fiction seems like trash these days. no one wants to push the envelope anymore, they all play it safe, usually with some sort of neoliberal flavor. where's my dark fantasy book where darks elves get fucked by orcs so hard their hips shatter? (The Dwarves series for anyone interested) that kind of edge or whatever you want to call it doesn't really exist anymore. you where you can find it? lns, manga and manhwa.

โ€œFiction Booksโ€ routinely contain the truthful information about things, just half hidden in the fiction, and this has likely been the case for at least two thousand years.

It's worse. It's a generation of millenial politicians, the same idiots that grew up alongside several of us, who think it's nerdy to use the computer too much, and don't comprehend that adults mean to do anything besides LinkedIn or Twitter.
Anything "normal" of the old internet was never discovered by a lot of them, because they're outdoorsy people, so the discovery of it came extremely late and they find it "off-putting" or something.

Another issue is groups like Red Barnet (Save the Kids) which get complaints from anonymous tips, but are starting to count thousands of non-illegal things for Child Abuse content, and that's being legislated too. So even stuff like the 18+ porn category is being sent to them by soccer moms because it will appear on Twitter and Instagram, and then they're starting to call it Child Abuse Content.

There was a podcast recently too where they had a sexologist, who reminded me a lot of those Australian Collective Shout karens. She claimed that a 17 year old male watching Hardcore porn is child abuse against him.

It's like when the Law of Consent was introduced all over again but it's the next step. Now they wanna be like "WatChiNg PorN is RAPE!"

It seems you can manufacture a police state based on two things, protect the kids and stop Islamic terrorism.
Meanwhile our politicians have cp fuckdolls and import the entire middle east.
Why do normalfags but so much faith into crooked retards that are the root cause of our issues, that I will never understand. I have nothing but bad things to say about them but even know I am holding back because maybe in a few years all of our convos will be automated.
It's all so tiresome, it seems that we have run out of anti-establishment voices, where is our Mogens Glistrup, where is our Pia Kjรฆrsgaard, all we have are glasseyed career politicians, faggot pastors, champagne communists, SoMo addicted boomers that only care about house prices.
The spirit of Kierkegaard is dead, he is rolling in his grave.

in high school I read the equivalent of a university degree in literature on my own because it was interesting, since then have only read history and physics and haven't read fiction in years, it does seem like GenZ is now post-reading, or reading has become browsing, I pity any high school English teachers, it must be a thankless job to have to face a sea of blank incomprehending faces day after day

Shit like this makes me wonder why they placed VAT on books in the first place.
Then I think that they only want to encourage reading sometimes.
>>513583391 makes me think that sometimes they don't want to encourage reading but some autists just don't get the message.
Which makes me think about how heavily they promoted reading in my youth, Bookmobiles, Pizza Hut challenge, etc.
Right before 9/11 and the Global War On Terrorโ„ข.
Which leads me to the conclusion that everyone everywhere needs to march on their nation's capitol and keep killing everyone wearing a suit until you collapse from exhaustion.
