You, a moron:

Odradek

This is the worst thing ever:[some fucking dumb tweet by some random liberal or alt-right pundit goes here, for everyone to ritually dunk on until it's replaced by the next dumb thing]

Me, an intellectual: THIS is the worst thing ever

Klinotaxis

i don't understand how this comic got made

like, the raven is pretty obviously not about poe's love of birds. it's more about remorse and shit

which it says, in the comic

except it's framed like a joke?

Klinotaxis

and hey! they did math too


pretty zeitgeist, i think

Heinzes

wow i'm woke now thanks

Odradek

Me irl

Klinotaxis

i mean, sincerely, this sums up some kind of attitude of people my age as far as i'm concerned

Salix Babylonika

Devin seems like kind of a fucking idiot

Klinotaxis

i'm being kind of misanthropic yes

Heinzes

I'm actually still trying to wrap my head around the logic of that first comic. Like, do they think authors just write stuff 'cause it sounds neat? And that allegory and metaphor are impositions of false intellectualism?

Either way it's a fucking dumb comic.

Klinotaxis

there's also one about not studying. there's nothing you can do



here we can see some insight into the political landscape

of course, these comics are all three or four years old

nowadays... now, they're even more hashtag relatable

I mean basically yeah. What's confusing me is that it's so obviously not true of the poem. Maybe it's deliberate??

Viani

Sure is 4chan in here
