Why is he so triggered by God?
How can he have read all that literature and still have that kind of reaction like a highschool fedora tipper?

>unwilling to take the leap of faith and shits on Kierkegaard for even suggesting it
Take notes christ larpers on this board.

i wish he would have reviewed lolita instead of that weeb shit

I think I'm going to have to non-consensually turn Pewdiepie into a human book.

Yes, in fact right this moment I have resolved to turn this man into pulp. All of my faculties and resources are now going to be put into achieving this end. The way this man channels sounds through his vocal cords channels a deep, harmonic resonance within my ears that say "ah, this, this sounds like good material to make a book with!"

If you think about it, how is Pewdiepie different from a book? They are equally timber. Equally dense. Equally acquiescent. Equally of no value until in its final form. Equally interested by a combination of words or ideas that do not conform to the status-quo. And no doubt Mr. Pie has read a book too--maybe just an acidic paperback young adult novel (for now), but nevertheless he has tried it; has been struck with the same sort of 'oh-i'm-so-bookish' inclination that into a book in its external reality, and just like such tree has Pewdiepie greediseizes all books at some point in their past life as a tree and with the frenzied tom-tom of fibrous limbs blaring in against their trunks which is only ever and put to an end and only ever predestined to any purpose when the the tree realizes its time to be felled and pressed ly taken hold of the dense classical book that he secretly keeps in his top drawer (why disguise it further? why, wouldn't he be happy if someone were to discover an actual book? oh think of how oh so very pseudish that would be!) and after lifting the full 7.5lb heft of the Tolstoy novel up he is filled with such a thrill such that no expression of his "bookish personality" has ever come close to attaining.

Hmm, indeed, the lines between Book and Man continue to blur, and my brain continues to rise. Dehydrating, pulping and assembling the pages and finally binding him could be ethically and epistemologically justified, both through Utilitarian ethics and Platonic Teleology, but I will not go into that here. Suffice to say that turning Pewdiepie into a book would be a net benefit for the world as such, as material entity and conceptual ideal. It would be a book that would satisfy so many hearts, so many minds, and most importantly my own erudition.

I am decided: Pewdiepie will be a book within the month. I will devote myself to finding out his residency, his routines, and I will plot and plan my moment of violation meticulously. This is a very real goal I have set, and I shall know neither rest nor mortal satisfaction until it has been attained.

>>12632212
based for hating on christkikes

>>12632194
Guy nearly exclusively reads translations

>>12632194
Let me guess majority of books are by japs, the rest are fiction and one "white" book that he kind of likes but doesnt, because he is afraid to like white people.

And felix I know you are here, so fuck you, you swedish faggot, stop being a fucking basedboy cuck, stop with the vegan buddhist bullshit, you arent japanese, stop dressing like some nigger anime faggot, go move back to sweden and have some children with those millions you are wasting on childrens toys clotues and stupid inbred dogs, you are an embarassment to your entire country and especially your family you absoloute manlet.

>>12632194
omg da pewds xDDD
smash dat friggin like button!

>>12632210
>>12632212
Someone should get him into Varg Vikernes' books.

>>12632240
I can see the news headlines already.
"Right-wing figurehead confirmed pedophile"

My little sister started to read Dostoyevsky and Mishima because of Pewdiepie, he can't be that bad

>>12632311
This so much. Review Varg Vikernes and Pentti Linkola and books on Norse mythology.

>>12632307
What, do you expect him to say, “Yeah, just let me learn Russian, German, Japanese and Danish, be back in 10+ years!”

This anti-translation meme just needs to die.

Did he show the Norwegian flag when mentioning Denmark? Was that a joke?

>>12632210
>>12632212
quite embarrassing from him
also brainlet tier analysis

>>12632311
I was partially right, lolita and count of monte cristo, both fiction and of little value, and half the video is about some jap book, but the other half is him giving his brainlet takes on kirkeegard. Cannot understand the abstract of taking a leap of faith and brushes it off with a fedora tip which is low even for him. He simply can not bring himself to adopt the ideas of a Scandinavian, even for a second and has to dismiss it as for superficial reasons as he was programmed to do. Good job jews, hes a perfect examply of a European man, who like the character in a clockwork orange, a movie I assume he likes because he had a poster of it in the background many times; undergone "therapy" to ensure he never gases 6 billion again.

Pathetic.

>>12632194
Felix pls read Aitmatov. I want him to be more known. He fulfills your Russian fetish, and Kyrgyz is close enough to Japanese. What else could you want?

>>12632398
He said he hates Swedish girls because they call him ugly, lol.

>>12632359
It's not reading translations that's the issue, he nearly exclusively reads translations. He seems to have next to no interest in literature originally written in the languages he's fluent in.

>>12632398
>Lolita, Monte Cristo
>of little value
>ree jews
Embarrassing.

>>12632210
>Why is he so triggered by God?
Believing in God is unironically embarassing in a lot of circles.

>>12632413
There are literally no good swedish books though.

>>12632311
Anon, name one book by the nordic people that isn't mythology and worth reading, cause i can only think on min kamp.

He is a fool with delusions of grandeur.

>>12632423

>>12632423
you mean in hedonistic, descending and pitiful societies, like those in western and northern europe

>>12632311
>living a successful, happy life
>"NO! THROW THAT AWAY AND LIVE IN YOUR OWN SHITTY COUNTRY AND HAVE A BUNCH OF KIDS WITH THE LITERAL JEZEBELS OF NORTHERN EUROPE"
I bet you're living an enjoyable life.

>>12632436
I don't know man, he's living in a pretty classy apartment and goes on vacation whenever. I think he is an aristocrat play the everyday man.

>>12632407
Got any recs for Aitmatov? Any with good eng translations?

>>12632426
Not him but

>basically all of Kierkegaard's works, notably Sickness unto Death, Fear and Trembling, Either Or
>Knut Hamsun's Hunger
>Stig Dagerman's Our need for solace cannot be sated
>Ibsen's Doll House and any other play by the same

>>12632325
Edge-wise yeah but dont they suck?

>>12632461
fair enough. I'll check them out

>>12632436
>delusions of grandeur
What exactly gives you that expression?

>>12632311
God you sound dreadful.

>>12632443
No, I meant some social circles, not entire societies.

>>12632424
There are some. Often talked here too. Finland doesnt have anything interesting except maybe meme Linkola

>>12632490
If there are good Swedish books why doesn't Pseudipie review them?

>>12632497
Ask him not me

>>12632354
Pentti Linkola would probably hate living even more if he knew he was associated with black metal folks

>>12632359
He should have little issue reading danish.

>>12632424
There are plenty great writers for such a small country.

>>12632398

>>12632460
Day that Lasts a Hundred Years is his longest read, but it's a bit slow. About a Kazahk man crossing the step to give his friend a traditional muslim burial while some sci-fi shit goes on in space. Like most of his writing, it contrasts the old ways of the steppe with the "new" world of soviet rule.

White Ship is a short novella that personally was my favorite. Same theme of old vs new, but much more negatively cast. Surrounds the reappearance of deer in an area where they were traditionally sacred.

Some of his stuff is harder to find to purchase or borrow, but available on some random scholarly blogs if you search a bit.

>thread complaining about Christianity
Who cares.
More good Nordic authors are Gunnar Gunnarsson and Knut Hamsun which I can think of. He should read something by the Greeks for once though, has been reading for like a year now.

>>12632210
Because i mean this with no offence, religion today is a hobby.
In the past i could understand that god is essentially you're moral compass and the basis of decision making but today religion is either set to the side as "oh yeah i'm ____ but i'm not really that devoted to it" like a Muslim who eats bacon cause fuck it right or an obsession with the religion to a point where it's fetishistic. This would be a Christian who live in the woods and beats his kids cause the bible said so. while there is some middle ground it's still very unimportant today.

>>12632522
I think he read some plato, i can't remeber if it was the republic or something else

>>12632361
yes, that's a joke

svenskere er nogle shittere

Did he ever say why he hated the fact that the scandinavian dude was christian? English isn't my first language and maybe i missed it, because i feel like he never says why...

>>12632504
>He should have little issue reading danish.
do you speak a scandinavian language? because reading danish/norwegian is possible if you know swedish but it's fucking exhausting, getting through a single page let alone a full book takes way longer than than if it was in a language you're comfortable with

>>12632527
God and religion is a massive part of history and philosophy and if you can't get past that kind of visceral reaction you aren't going to be able to understand other people's viewpoints.

>>12632398
This is authentic voice of autistic flyover. Can't recognize good literature, muh jews, and talks some godshit. How can you not see how isolated and dumb you are? This is embarrassing and pathetic.

hating on christianity is so incredibly safe and pedestrian that it's become repulsive
it's about equivalent to being a devout christian in the times of the puritans, in that it is nothing more than blind follow - which is not to say there is no basis for agnosticism/atheism, but merely that most accept it as truth in order to join themselves with the overarching collective
his smug condescension of faith is indicative of such a reality

>>12632545
Idk anon, scandinavian lutheranism is pretty cringy in practice.

>>12632553
Atheism is the only rational position. The End.
Some people play poker online and some do godthings, stick to your hobby.

what a gross dumb snownigger

>>12632504
Danish people can read Norwegian and vice versa. Swedish isn't the same.

>>12632576
how did the universe come into being

>>12632553
true, but that was simply seen as an authority figure to watch over your choices and to hold you accountable to your action. Now, we do not need a magic authority when we have a physical authority watching , for better or worse. I understand that some people take comfort in having a father figure watch over them and having their best interests in heart, but other don't and thus may look at religion as wishful thinking.

>>12632592
don't know

>>12632599
then atheism is not the most rational position

>>12632610
Pretending to know something you don't is irrational.

>>12632549
>>12632590
I'm swedish. Written danish is far easier than spoken. It takes some getting used to but it's not a HUGE issue by any means.

The least he could have done is read a swedish translation.

>>12632618
His proficiency in Swedish has probably declined over the years.

>>12632614
which is exactly why atheism is irrational, whereas agnosticism is not

>>12632627
same difference

It's fairly obvious that Pewdiepie is trying to redpill people en masse. All of his picks are /lit/-inspired, all of his humor is 4chan-derivative, following his chain of thought eventually leads you here. If you aren't convinced by his clash with the establishment media, then you never will. There is a subtle proxy war for control over your minds.

>>12632410
Wouldnt suprise me if he has some sort of aversion of swedish women because of that. I mean he is 5'9 in a country the majority of people are at least 6 foot.
>>12632426
I dont know, learn swedish or something, because there is alot that hasnt made its way into english besides knut hamsun and very popular or famous things.
>>12632447
Sweden is a good country with good people, he just doesnt want to fit in and belittles them to make himself feel bigger about his own problems. He can marry Marzia and have as many little pepperoni babies as he wants wherever in Europe he wants, but disavowing his homeland because he is too pathetic to succeed there is not good.And a productive life is better than an enjoyable hedonistic one. He knows this, but he cares far too much about money and material goods, than he does about himself and his people as a whole.
>>12632566
I live in the biggest city in my country, and it isnt beneficial. I get that they are good books, but they arent worth reviewing. Everyone has read them, everyone knows what they are about etc so him using his platform to show off basic books serves no purpose. Jews are a problem and if you dont accept that then you are delusional or just ignorant (both are good signs of an oversocialized plebian like you most likely are) Im not a christian but dismissing something from a christian philosopher is pure conditioning.

i have no interest in the thoughts of a youtube teenage idol

>>12632640
Take your meds /pol/

Friendship ended with pewdiepie.
Bishop Barron is my best friend now.

>>12632639
no, not really

>>12632410
Isn't he like the 3rd hottest man?

>>12632597
>that was simply seen as an authority figure to watch over your choices and to hold you accountable to your action
This about as big an oversimplification of religion as is possible to make.

>>12632522
He might just be tired of these authors. I read some Knut and was super stoked about him. I brought him up to my Norwegian friend and she just complained about her reading classes. For an English speaker, it might be like somebody telling you to review Shakespeare or Steinbeck. Yeah they're good, but after high school I have no desire to read any more of them.

>>12632413
he talked about trying to read the danish book. It not he doesnt care

>>12632410
Swedish girls are slightly more arrogant than Norwegian and Danish girls. That's because the Norwegian and Danish arrogance is mostly a joke for fun, while Swedes are known to genuinely be pretensious.

>>12632653
Not when he was in sweden, then he was a socially inept retard who found coping with video games and meeting people online better. Hes a complete aspie, and so is Marzia (she posted a picture of herself on instagram, celebrating her birthday alone in perfect cursed image form) and not to mention she changed her voice when they first met because she was so insecure about it. In her old photos and what shes said is that she was awkward and an outcast. Nothing beautiful about them then. Sure they have improved a little bit, but Felix especially hasnt let go of these childhood experiences.

>>12632398
Thanks anyway for the views and playtime faggot.

>>12632423
i also thought anyone who believed in god was embarrassing when i was 13 because "le brainwashed masses believing in a sky daddy is dumb :P"

>>12632642
He originally went to school for electrical engineering or something but dropped out because Youtube was more fun.
Look where that got him.

>buddhism and islam are really mystic and awsom tho

>>12632726
Buddhism is redpilled as fuck.
Islam isn't though but hopefully you're being ironic.

>>12632194
Can you young fellas here explain to an old man why Pewdiepie is so successful? What makes him a good youtubers?
My brain, it simply can't process this shit.

Fuck that fedora tipping cuck, I'm unironically subscribing to T-series now.

>>12632699
I believe in God myself, that comment isn't supposed to be accusatory.

>>12632738
He's like an entry level Youtuber.
There's a bunch of new Youtube users because of something called people being born and then becoming old enough to use Youtube so he kinda appeals to those younger audiences.

>>12632726
I mean, he likes Japan and i remember seeing a vid of his where he reviewed a buddhist book and said that he was actually starting to like buddhism and giving the most 'white answers' to why he liked...

>>12632738
I think it goes way way back where he made lets plays and got very big with that

>>12632713
B A S E D

>>12632738
It was unironically all luck. He started making those commentary video-game plays right before it got popular, so his channel blew up. And he's quite self-aware and could adapt to new trends over the years.

>>12632738
timing
he entered the YouTube space when gaming was big enough to have an audiance but not so big as to over saturate the demand. then he was playing the horror game and making funny faces. Plus due to him being able to speak both english and swedish he had the European and american audience getting his videos in the recommended. Now, he's a bit of a rouge who is literally too big to fail, so he could do whatever he wants and get away with it kinda.

>>12632731
>Buddhism is redpilled as fuck.
true, and yes, I was being ironic.
I was triggered by pewdiepie's reaction in the vid on the Leap of Faith.

>>12632243
Good post, but too visceral to catch on as a pasta. Pasta should be light, else it will'n't catch on the posting breeze!

>>12632738
I think he talks about video games and internet memes or something.

>>12632490

>>12632906

Good luck translating Alastalon salissa or something to English though lmao

>>12632906
I like finns, what are some good books translated to english?

>>12632210
Basic Scandinavian impulse I'm afraid. I'm pretty sure he used to be into atheist youtubers, so there's an other bias. Sadly he prefers oriental mumbo jumbo.

>>12632948
Leena Krohn is good

yeah, I’m a Christian, you got a problem with that? I used to be a sinner like you but 2 years ago I found GOD. In my teens I would laugh at creationists; I would always tell my grandma that I didn’t want to go to mass; I was agnostic but not like r/Atheism. But when I GREW UP and became a man, I realised I needed to put childish things away (1 Corinthians 13:11). Why is that? Because I realized that we need Christianity to SAVE THE WEST. After I voted Trump in the 2016 election I decided to go to church again. I knew that I would find a QT pure Christian GF who I could lose my virginity to (I haven’t lost it yet because I’m saving myself for marriage, like God intended). I haven’t found her yet, but like Job I will pray and have faith in God. Then I saw Jordan Peterson talking about Christianity and I was hooked! (I don’t like him anymore though, he’s a fake Christian). I watched all his videos on the bible and realised how God reveals himself in many ways. I was on /pol/ (came from r/The_Donald during the election but I hate redditors now) Christian General and I saw /lit/ chart which had The Bible and I KNEW I found my people. Every day I see THE WEST falling because we gave up our FAITH. Well, the new Christian intellectuals are coming; We are the sons of the Crusaders and we shall not recoil before the sons of Voltaire! (Candide was shit, so is Nietzsche (haven’t read either of them)). /lit/ introduced me to Kierkegaard and I became a KNIGHT OF FAITH, so now I know that I just gotta believe and that’s TRUE bravery. I read DANTE and DOSTOEVSKY and I saw the beauty of God and true art. I’m a proud Catholic (Protestants are heretics) but I hate Pope Francis, he’s a heretic and isn’t MY Pope. /lit/ is a Christian board, and I know that if I just keep recommending the Bible, telling people to go to church, and making threads about how great God is, I will finally be able to sincerely believe in God and distract myself from the gnawing feeling that I’m a fraud. Faith ain’t easy.

>>12633059
It is fairly long (three books) and has a lot to do with Finnish history during late 19th early 20th century, so it is not necessarily something foreigners would like to read. I would wholeheartedly recommend it anyway, if the setting of the book does not bore you to death.

He should read some Strindberg. Hemsöborna is good. Also buy a couple more lamps.

motherfucker, he said he tried reading kierkegaard without translation but it was too difficult and he figured he’d lose less on translation than trying to understand danish. literally said he chose kierkegaard to try to read something in original language

>>12633780
the point is not really to convert him, couldn't care less about his faith but rejecting the notion of the leap of faith entirely because it lacks "evidence" is literally an 80iq reading

Surely a Swedish translation would be closer than an English one

He’s bilingual, I’m sure he’s VERY comfortable with both Swede and English. I’m not sure if you know any languages other than English, but let’s assume you’re a bilingual Spanish and English speaker. Would you choose to read Pessoa in Portuguese or English? Keep in mind reading in Portuguese would take a lot longer than reading in one of your now native tongues.

>>12632639
>being this retarded
Hi Felix

He seems to be the only thoughtful big youtuber. Although I disagree with some of the things he said in the video. For example, he came off as a bit of a sperg about Christianity.

>>12633950
No you fucking moron, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that a Swedish translation of a Danish book will be closer to the original than an English translation of a Danish book because Swedish and Danish are closer than English and Danish. In your example, a Spanish translation of Pessoa would be closer than an English one.

>>12632194
How hard is it for native Swedes to read Kierkegaard's Danish?

>>12633981
Okay nevermind, I just unpaused the video and he answered my question within three seconds.

It can be done, but it would take more time than reading a translation and you would occasionally have to use a dictionary if you want to understand everything.

I dont care much about his reaction to Kirkegaard's religion as long as he reads more of his books. I know a friend who liked kirkegaards books (i knew about kirkegaard from him) but he also didnt like the idea of a leap of faith,but my friend is a certified autist so maybe felix is autisitc too

After all of the Swedish warrior-class died out in the Great Nordic War the Swedes became an unapologetic beta-race of suicidal atheist shitlibs. Going extinct as a race is literally in fashion in Sweden and while he's obviously not a total retard like most of his dwindling kind, the conditioning is still there.

How he could still lack such sense of authenticity after reading Sun and Steel is beyond me.

>>12634430
On one hand, I like to imagine Gustavus Adolphus pounding his little fists on a table in Hell in rage screaming "NO NO NO NO NO!" as he looks at the state of the country he built. Its people literally dying out, having betrayed their own religion, having sold their country to foreigners and having basically become the stereotype that he himself despised of the French.

On the other hand it is incredibly triggering to me that if you showed a Swede a livestream of the ninth layer of Hell of his ancestors screaming and weeping with rage and regret at the sight of modern Sweden, he'd probably get an erection, and be happy, because "they were bigots anyway and they deserve to be upset."

I specifically avoided reddit-spacing, you mong. Reddit spacing means a space between every line, not good formatting and paragraphing. Usually I would put a space between each line of greentext and each line of normal text. None of that is "reddit-spacing". Someone on a literature board should be able to appreciate this. But oh wait, the only book you read is the bibble.

I'm a (Calvinist) Christian, and this is actually a really insightful comment.

Religion in the western world today IS very much a hobby, a fashion accessory even. People talk about "finding the right denomination/religion for me personally" in the same way they talk about fashion or decoration. They incorporate it into their instagram posts as part of their brand. They have a pinterest album of uplifting spiritual quotes in the same way that they have one for makeup. People reject uncomfortable truths without understanding that there's no pick-and-choose when it comes to Truth.

No it's not, one is called "Atheism" and denies the existence of a greater force while Agnosticism claims ignorance over this matter. They have two different names (that aren't synonyms) for a reason.

He's mentioned it in an old video. He basically just said he didn't like having an eternal master he has to worship, and that people who are Christians but don't follow the teachings of Christ are hypocrites.

In that case there are no "atheists". You can't know god does not exit.
An atheist is a someone who does not believe in god. And by this definition agnostics are atheists. Agnosticism is just an irrelevant special snowflake term for people who do not want to get into arguments with believers.

I think it's great he devouts such an amount of his time so he can make these videos, -at least that's what he says. They all look interesting but the one by Kierkegaard. Might try some of them -didn't read any of those-, specially Dostoyevski's.

On another matter of things, this moment is kinda comical:
>9:11
"He was also a Christian, which really annnoyed me..."
Like... did he even read a brief summary of the book, or the author's Wikipedia page? What else did you expect from Kierkegaard? It's like reading Saint Thomas Aquinas and being bothered because of how much he talks about the Bible.

At least you guys can leave your parents home early enough. You are free to worship whoever the fuck you want, say whatever you want (at least it used to be that way). Swedes get high employment rates as well, and free money for attending college. Wtf is so mediocre about it? Sure, the SJWs are lords and owners of everything, and the weather isn't good, but that's pretty much it.

I was an Erasmus student there for 5 months. I met many foreign students, and a few of them stayed after the term was over. They believed that life would be easier for them in Sweden than in their home countries. And this is Erasmus, an EU programme. They didn't come from any shithole.

There is literally no property in this country anymore due to reasons and everyone's living with their parents until they're 30, either that or buy a home at full housing bubble prices.

Remember, he's an ~influencer~. He's reading shit for himself, but he's also reading for a potential audience of 80 million people. The reason he said he was covering Woman in the Dunes because it was accessible. Since his audience all presumably speaks English, recommending books that's accessible to everyone in his audience is probably something he cares about.

Reading something that may not translate cuts down on audience involvement, and would make his reviews shitty except the 2 polyglots on /lit/
