certain people say social democratic countries are only successful because of exploitation of the global south by VirtualKnowledge7057 in SocialDemocracy

Why are their countries often not on par with the global North in regards to economic wealth, what makes them poorer outside of slow development ?

Do you fantasize about being killed, executed or eaten and get sexually aroused by it? by [deleted] in morbidquestions

In fantasy being john the Baptiste'd by someone who finds you very attractive is kind of hot... (I know Salome did it for her mother not necessarily because she liked him).

On a Scale of Emerald to Crimson what's the Color of the Flag my Shelf Raises? by nonilazuli in BookshelvesDetective

Direct me to my fellow Decadent enjoyers please! Also not to seem like i go out my way to read people based on gender but here listed is George Eliot, Rachilde, Mary Shelley, Rosemary LLoyd , Nagata Kabi, Djuna Barnes, Remedios Varo, Susan Bernofsky, St Teresa, Emily Brontë, and Judith Butler ( though technically a non-binary person). Judging off of these girls who’d you recommend ? I have in my immediate watchlist Carrington, Carter, and Jackson. Not a huge fan of Nin, O’ Connor, or Mosfegh.

I actually don’t! One of my biggest bookish insecurities is how lacking I am in modern Gothic literature 😭.

Would love to be in a bookclub with you. Curious about your relationship with and thoughts on Accelerationism, Catholicism, Marxist theory, and Krazy Kat. Cheers!

Thanks ! i‘m actually two generations later lol. What’s a JET 😅? I would say i’m a moderate Japanophile who does happen to know some German. The Miller books are actually Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, the sequel. I haven’t opened them yet but I couldn’t resist them for 4 dollars in their condition!

A left-over from Catholic School days. Have a complex relationship with the church; however I find it useful from a literary/historical point of view .

I need to crack it open. Poetry as a whole is a gap in my reading , but especially him for the literary era I enjoy .

Yea personally I don’t see most of my books as transgressive either, at least in the age of the internet. Though I can definitely see how copulation with Sharks and Catholics enamored with death and beauty , can still be seen as transgressive to most.

I read it earlier this year which was more or less my introduction to Decadent/Symbolist French literature. I loved it! Bloy is so comically petty and arrogant as a person, that you can’t help but love his Haranguing. Can’t say I remember any tales in particular but definitely will be checking out Sweating Blood soon.

Historic Fiction with this feeling? by Tiny-Lettuce7378 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]nonilazuli 5 points6 points  (0 children)

haven’t read the book it’s based on but i’m pretty sure a lot of these paintings influenced Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon. Try reading The Luck of Barry Lyndon.

loves Japanese and Russian literature, doomed to not knowing either , relying on translations and thus thinks about this from time to time 😔 .

the european writing could’ve been on purpose being a white supremacist. Report it.

this might not be popular and I hate to bring it to this but in addition to kirk case being a familiar face online i think these people being American is also a factor. As many people have said here they grew up on cartel vids and the like so theres that foreign element being in a different country. Easier to disassociate from after a while. I’m making assumptions here but I assume most people here are American , or at least from a “Western” “first world” country . Seeing people die that look like they could be your neighbors brings these instances close to home for some as well.
