The 8chan Board for Anons Who Can Read and Write Good and Want to Do Other Stuff Good Too
Welcome to /pen/.My Purpose
If I do nothing, entropy sneaks upon me and steals my life from me.
If I think nothing, my empty mind invites the first intruder at the
gate, and betrays me.
Cogito ergo sum.
If I think not, I am not.
Degeneration is the rival of creation, and if I do not coerce this
person to some higher power,
I will degenerate.
If I do not rise, I will fall.
I must rise.
Critique my writing
Hello /pen/
This is my first time posting here, as well as my first written piece, and I'm really invested in it. I began working on this a few weeks ago, and I would just like some opinions on what I could do to make it better, what I could add etc. Just general thoughts. I've only written 8 pages so far, and I've hardly revised it.

Economic Dialectic and the Absence of Usury
Or,
Framing Economic Thought: Global Control by Monetary Means
Originally
Austrian-Keynesian Dialectic: Economics as Psyops, taken from a thread on /32/ here
This anon delved into the reasoning behind economic theory and the popularly touted thoughts commonly known to any student of commerce. It becomes clear via their reasoning that a glaring hole is left in each adversarial school of thought: the purpose and place of usury in the economic system. Anon goes on to detail the shortcomings of the varying economic "options" presented to the common man, and how, in the absence of a rational and moral stance on usury, he is manipulated to believe in the false worth of an economic system doomed to inevitable decay at the expense of his creditors.
A captivating and essential read for every man's understanding of debt, economic theory, and the criminal scum who to this day hold the world at large.
movie scripts or storyboards
Anyone interested in writing movie scripts or story boards? This could be scripts written for real actors (dystopian diverse future, what if the Nazis had won? Or showing today's progressive society tongue in cheek)Reading How To Win Friends and Influence People
Hello /pen/! I'm reading pic related and even though I'm not too far in, I've been thinking about some things, specifically things that come about in Part 1 Section 2, "The Big Secret of Dealing With People".
In the book, the author comments that "The desire for a feeling of importance is one of the chief distinguishing differences between mankind and animals." You'll have no argument from me on that point. However, my primary question is dealing with application and utilization of that point. I know that with many of the people I have dealt with, that they would see the attempt at flattery and piling on of "importance" as a sham and might distrust the individual who tried to do as much.
Therefore, my questions are as follows:
1. Are the majority of people receptive to this type of attention/compliment/flattery?
2. How is one able to tell if an individual might be receptive to such forms of flattery? Repeated encounters? Using a few and gauging reaction? Both? Something else?
3. The book does not talk about individuals with Autism/Aspergers. Does anyone have experience with people on the spectrum and how these sorts of tactics affect those people?
4. Are folks in certain professions more susceptible to these types of flattery? I would imagine that an artist may be more receptive as compared to a given physicist due to (what I think, anyway) a person with a different type of mindset gravitating towards these professions.
Any thoughts? Comments? Thanks.
A Narrative of Woe
What do you think of my short story /pol/? Anything I need to change before entering it to every single short story competition on the web?Some 40k poetry
For seven years our empires favourite son
has turned from the light of our sovereign goals
two hundred years work has become undone
the forces are mighty under traitor control
half of the legions
third of the guard
uncounted regions
no person unscarred
a deadly path home
no resolution
the void they roam
no absolution
at Saturn a monstrous fleet
our brothers surrender their lives
and suffer certain defeat
by the thousands they died
the fateful news relayed
the traitors are coming
their fleet is barely delayed
no victory forthcoming
from above Emperor's speech
defend the palace
of our lord's fury teach
hearts formed of malice
from orbit canons reach
and scar the holy surface
end this madness the subjects beseech
of all the cruelty this is the furthest
the forces of greed have corrupted their souls
the enemy has landed
and the virtues they used to extol
now lie abandoned
the Primarchs they stand and with us hold the line
side by side Astartes and man
sworn by oath, loyalty enshrined
with our bodies we form a dam
fifty-five days
no ammo, no food
commanders survey
continue to feud
victory slips through their grip
hundreds of Astartes on the attack
our saviours go aboard their great ship
the thunder of guns forces them back
the great horrors they see
with tentacles and maws
should, by reckoning, impossible be
these creatures forever abhorred
across the arch-traitor but a man has sought
a brave man of the name Ollanus Pius
to view the Emperor distraught
and lay at his feet his son of blood
against Horus a man is no match
to protect his lord is Pius' task
a fatal blow does he catch
in his lords majesty he did bask
in humanities name did the Emperor slew
in mind and body
the greatest son he knew
over the death of a simple squaddie

(Will bump with pdf)The Ugly Duckling
Once upon a time there was an ugly duckling. The ugly duckling was very ugly, causing normal people to be grossed out, but they still made friends with the ugly duckling, they just didn't want to fuck it. So the ugly duckling got mad and turned into an SJW who complained about beauty standards and how it was truly the beautiful duckling. This ugly duckling had deluded itself, and in turn deluded many other impressionable ugly ducklings to believe that being an ugly duckling was the thing the be, and that if you didn't like ugly ducklings you were a sexist homophobic patriarchy pig. How dare you not use xers deluded pronouns to address it as the beautiful duckling that it really was, you ducking shitlord. Then one day the normal ducklings got tired of this bitches shit and popped a cap in her ugly duckling ass. And no, this bitch was not a swan, just a fat slob.
Big ol' novel
So I'm writing a novel of sorts, trying to shoot for 1500 to 2000 words per chapter. I'm trying to be subtle with the /pol/ themes, so a publisher won't be scared of it. The story is about a disgraced ex-reporter hearing from his friend who was murdered in Mexico, prompting him to go and investigate his murder, as well as the conspiracy he was going after.Novelist AMA
Why hello thar, aspiring writers. I've spent the better part of my adult life writing short stories and such and finally got around to finishing my first novel last year. I'm hear to answer any questions you have on the gory reality of fiction writing.Rahowa! This planet is OURS!

Perhaps we could collaborate, and put our collective knowledge of the internet and general internet raid techniques into a piece of writing? After all, you all know how much leftists love referring to Alinsky's work. Why not have our own instruction manuals? I dare say we can not only gather a bunch of proper and useful old info, but even include the techniques we've pioneered.Why You Should Write Fiction
Not a good writer? Not even a writer? Same here. Welcome to the club.When tempted to make a long post...
By all means, save it into a word document. These long posts are provoked by a natural response in you to something, and the ideas that flow from you are, as is understandable, pure and natural. You are not sitting down and putting forward something contrived, you are not pulling intellectual straws in order to find some motivation to write something: it is precisely when you are goaded into writing a long post you are conscious of the fact that there is a character limit. You therefore have to restrict the grandeur of your reply, and you have to summarize a horde of thoughts into three or so paragraphs that fit this character limit. You have perhaps even become quite skilled at doing this: you have found yourself able to write stirring posts, utilizing just the correct image, just the correct formatting, with just the right message, and you have been quite pleased with yourself, having received positive replies from people who have enjoyed it.

The bike messenger parked his bike on the busy sidewalk outside a small office building and walked inside, a fat manila envelope in his hand. Ballcap pulled low and mirrored aviators covering his eyes, his only real distinguishing facial feature was the jet black beard he'd grown.

Here's a significant portion of the "ask a foreign policy analyst anything" thread on /pol/. I thought it was very interesting and this Q&A I compiled is 6500+ words. IF a /pol/ and writing related journal is to be made, I think this should be included as it provides some thought-provoking opinions.
