piece of fiction?
Helmer: You are talking like a child. You understand nothing about the society you live in.
Nora: No I don't... I must try to discover who is right, society or me.
Off the top of my head, there's Ted's favorite book, Conrad's The Secret Agent (which gets my vote, because he makes fun of Twitter anarchists for larping). There's all the angsty shit Dostoevsky wrote. There's Roth's American Pastoral, which, if anything, is anti-
. Then of course there's blue-pilled 1880s Norwegian feminism, or old-timey female Joker lit: Ibsen.
But what really is the angstiest piece of literature for edgy anarchists to read that's not shit? 1984 doesn't count, because Orwell was a boring socialist and it's peachy and redditty, unlike Brave New World. What Is to Be Done? doesn't count, because Nabokov and I say it's dreadful.
What would the gigabrained Joker actually carry under his arm as he assassinates John Lennon?

thats literally the point, and holden is supposed to come across as painfully joker-fied and have shallow and occasionally whiny comments on society, and its a character study of a sexually molested teenager experiencing grief who is having a weekend long mental breakdown but so many read it like salinger is agreeing with holden and portraying him as right and thats the tea, sis

Seriously, Holden is comically incel-tier.
He snaps out of it at the end though when he takes his sister to the park. At least that's my take.

Well, that's exactly what fat joker had under his arm when he killed John Lennon.
But it's just a little brat complaining about society. Anyone radicalized by that must not have gone through puberty. It's like baby's first jihad. Surely we can do better than this.
