    I like his essay where he sympathizes with the Virginia tech shooter.

    did Tao Lin ever talk about Terrance Yeakey?

    Tao Lin is remarkably untalented. I think you can throw a rock on a busy street and hit someone who has more writing talent than Tao Lin, even if that person is an insurance actuary or something.

      Does this confirm he's a CCP shill trying to sow disorder? Even if he's just a useful idiot we're going to have a hard time shutting that shit down now that we're flooded with immigrants we're not only restrained from criticizing but also mandated to celebrate. Frick, there were Western born Chinese protesting on behalf of the CCP when that Huawei executive was arrested.

            I guess Tao Lin's writing fails to inspire creativity. Cope.

      Even if you don't like him (wrong opinion), you can't justifiably say that he's not talented. I'd really like to have your last five read books and maybe a writing sample to confirm that you are a moron.

        Can you point to something Tao has done, a passage perhaps, that demonstrates how he's anything other than mediocre? I'm asking this in good faith, I'm genuinely open to having my mind changed.

          Tao is an excellent writer. His only problem is that he is unable to go beyond autofiction. If he ever figured out how to do a plot or a story it would be game over for everybody else. So as Napoleon said, let Tao sleep because when he wakes, it will shake the world.

            That's a fair assessment. After about twenty pages of Taipei, I had him figured out. Now, his subtly nihilistic Millennial shtick is just kinda getting old.

            He is severely autistic anon, autofiction was made for him, it's right there in the etymology. I don't care for him but I'm pretty sure he's sincere in some sort of moronic schizo way.

    Also to answer the thread's question I've read most of his work but Leave Society convinced me that he's a hack. I always thought 'maybe he's smarter than me somehow, and he knows something I don't.' That's the last time I fall for that shit. He's going through some bullshit psychedelic phase I went through in my teens but he's like 45.

      Useful idiot confirmed. Good on him for bagging a white girl though (even a dried out one with shitty hipster tats).

    These people were so fricking moronic but it's a fun bit of nostalgia now. The fact that it was ever praised or even entertained as something worthy of evaluation as "literature" is beyond hilarious, they just outright admitted to having nothing to offer and people were like "Wow! Provocative!"

    >stinger missiles vs buildings
    Those are light AA warheads meant to spray thin-skinned targets (like any aircraft ever) with lots of fragments, a brick wall is enough to almost completely stop them.
    Why are all blue checkmarks ignorant and moronic?
