Is there any good coming of age literature that isn’t YA bullshit like Catcher in the Rye?

I really don't see anything particularly interesting in this work.

What's wrong with flouride? I'm not even memeing too, I just want to know the counter arguments since I fucked up my teeth and my dentist suggests that I use a bunch of flouride (toithpaste, mouth rinse, cleanings) for a preventative home care routine. It always felt fishy to me that schools would mandate extra flouride to be given to kids every morning.

Read the SA article, cornboy

Why though? What age are in need of becoming?

In Search of Lost Time, it takes place over roughly 50 years, though it’s deliberately ambiguous about the passage of time

*what age are YOU in need of becoming

it calcifies your pineal antenna, it's used to directly access universal consciousness and to initiate contact with aliens.

>coming of age literature that isn’t YA
Hmm, no

Oh look. Bayers takeover of Monsanto now has its own NY Jewish lawyer soundtrack in the form of a book. May the shekels roll!

Nobody cared until Bayer fell for the bait and bought the US crap company. Probably advised by the very same NY lawyers.

I’m not sure what your angle is. Some of the big rats are fleeing a sinking ship. It’s to be expected.

People cared about Monsanto before bayer bought them, when they weren’t fretting about women and black people.

No they didn’t. Mostly only victims cared but they had no voice.

My issue is that the “care” is artificially manufactured. Nothing has changed. Outrage is carefully created and directed.

It really makes you think that schizo magnum opus has changed from flouride to GMO and S.O.Y.

Infinite Jest, people would get why if they actually read it (Hal's "coming out", etc.)

Doesn’t matter what the name of the company is, doesn’t really matter who the CEOs are. Capitalism demands profits and this company will poison us all for it.

You know, I used to hate you butterfly and thought you were just a dumb attention whore, but honestly you've grown on me, and now I am glad to see a post of yours in a thread.

Guess I'm trying to say sorry for all those times I said very nasty things to you.

I definitely remember people bitched about monsanto, along with the “these 6 companies make all your products” crap

Imagine this self centered and anonymously posting perosnal message on public.

That’s nice.

Try to imagine yourself not laced with glyphosate.

Some controversy over the original publisher being supposedly fascist or something.

Imagine yourself with half a brain

the entire point of Yea Forums in my view is becoming ridiculous variations of people that you largely don't even agree with to test out thoughts and ways of being that you could never do irl because of the negative consequences, and your basic awareness of the social situation constraining even your ability to think let alone say things.

almost nothing I post on this site I actually really believe, it's just an exercise in going into foreign idea worlds through becoming different people and having these interactions

not the guy you responded to though

Not all thoughts are valid. Even the most open minded person probably gets frustrated by retards.

And Yea Forums will call you a retard without hesitation when your thoughts are retarded, that's part of the feedback mechanism that allows this exploration of ideas.

I feel more constrained at here by meme responds like s@y cuck reddit discord tranny

Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship. God tier, somehow kind of slips under the radar even though Goethe's a huge name. My favorite from him besides Faust.

People rarely give me those insults on here for whatever reason. Maybe im overly socialized to Yea Forums discourse lmao. In any case if someone does call me a retard I don't really care that much because Im not sensitive about that, but if like 5 people tell you you're dumb, and they explain why, which is what I love about this place, they'll actually explain why what you said was retarded instead of just shaming you, then I will take their arguments into consideration.

There's a whole genre called the Bildungsroman. Some good examples: Le Grand Meaulnes, Tonio Kroger, The Confusions of Young Torless, Of Human Bondage, Sebastien Roch, The Young Desire It, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, etc.

Sorry about your thread getting raped because of your OP image.

>It calcifies your mumbo jumbo gland and makes you posessed by demons
This is the type of shit everyone says though. Can you link some actual resources to learn about it if you're so sure? I'm not being disengenouous, I just want actual information on what harm flouride is doing/will do to me.

Starship troopers

People believe that there has been a prepoisoned existence. This has never been the case, though.

Then you need a thicker skin, because you have to worry about a fuckton more consequential things if you try doing the same shit here in any IRL situation. Lose your friends, kicked out of school, lose your job, get attacked by your local antifa squad or rightwing militia depending on whose feelings you hurt, and perhaps achieve nationwide infamy if you’re particularly unlucky.

Sometimes your shit doesn’t get read by thoughtful people. Tough luck. Go back to the drawing board and try again later newfag.

This image is a hilarious because I image how this really went down is that he said something completely ridiculous like that satanic jews plan every aspect of society and that Trump is a secret genius playing 4D chess against them and everyone turned around looked at him because he was a being a complete wack-job and this is how he interpreted it.

>when your autistic co-worker brings up politics and everyone ignores him because they just want to do their job

you do know about Joyce and Dickens right? I'd hope the posters here at least graduated highschool.

America is such a shithole it’s incredible.

those are mostly schizophrenic delusions
some of them can happen if you were to say certain things like on campus or a campus forum, but political hit squads do not exist for random edglords

American here, this is true on college campuses at least. The media thing is rare, but it evidently happens as can be observed by the occasional media character trial.

Bret Easton Ellis - Less Than Zero

Exactly, OP probably doesn't want something he already read in high school.

well then his question doesn't make any sense

A Season In Hell

>blocks your path

at least America isn't imprisoning people for wrongthink yet. the UK and Germany are worse. the USA is the last bastion of free speech in the world, so when shit starts to hit the fan here, there will be nowhere else to go.

Perhaps he doesn't like Dickens or Joyce or Cormac McCarthy or John Knowles or any of the other high school-core authors.

that doesn't make them YA bs, by any stretch. op directly implied that he does not know of any lit about coming of age that isn't YA.

OP asked for good coming of age literature that isn't YA. To meet his standards the work must both be good and not YA.

>anybody who would threaten freedom in our republic would get what's coming to them. the justice system works.

That’s quite the cope you’ve got. Americans always talk about freedom, what they mean is the freedom to die from preventable causes after a leaked private video of them using the n-word causes them to lose their jobs and thus health coverage. Retarded country full of retarded mongrels.
In Germany it’s quite simple, don’t be a holocaust denier. Maybe this hurts your feelies, but There are clearly defined legal outlines to these things. Don’t cross those legally defined categories and you can express basically any opinion you’d like in private company. In America, all sorts of things exist in this grey area, you can be accused of racism or sexual assault over basically nothing besides how someone “feels” about you, and no private conversation is possible because America doesn’t understand the concept of privacy— every opinion is met with media conditioned responses.

yeah, and don't make any edgy jokes with your dog or you'll get a prison sentence, and you better not mock the presidents of other countries for being autocratic faggots either or we'll throw you in the brig.

your problems are only going to get worse and worse. same like us. the thing is, you're far more gone than we are, and there's no way you'll be able to turn back the clock because holocaust shame is too strong in your country to mount a resistance to protect your natural rights.

Catcher isn't YA, though:
>Bruce Brooks held that Holden's attitude remains unchanged at story's end, implying no maturation, thus differentiating the novel from young adult fiction

I’m not German, dumbass. With that being said, the Germans I’ve met have generally been far more open minded than Americans. Centralized authoritarianism is far preferable to mass media puratinism

Fight Club is a nice short story

ahaha HOLY FUCK you got BTFO
