I also hate PewdiePie because some hacker keeps sending "Sub to Pewds" throughout the entire multiplayer servers.
Pretty sure it's some autistic Rockstar employee having a laugh though.

>I still live in 2012

>>12758831
Yes, the last time I paid attention to PewDiePie was in 2012 when I was thirteen.

>>12758653
Is he implying that the Republic is satire or that he agrees with "tyranny?" It's hard to tell.

>>12758839

I dislike this youtuber not because of his psuedo-intellectual posturing or his immature, quite frankly cringy content that caters to edgy teens and underdeveloped failsons alike. What I truly dislike is how his following has plagued the internet. You can not go on any forum or site without some brain dead Mongolian fuck telling you to "subscribe to pewdiepie" or unironically referring to him as "pewds" in some faux-endearing tone. It's embarrassing. His fans will have you believe that he has evolved, that the person who was playing slenderman and screaming at the television like an escaped asylum patient is no more, that now he is a sophisticated Übermensch who "gets it." The truth is that his adolescent viewers have grown up physically but remain mentally stagnant. They still enjoy the same brain dead schlocky entertainment they did as children but now they have dignity you see, now they must veil their immaturity behind a veneer of irony and intellectualism. They must spread their delusions to the masses enmasse, refusing to accept the putrid state of their being, failing to realize that their minds have remained still from when they first started watching these videos. Instead they live in fantasy and trade in delusions, undeniably, they are not simply content to writhe in their escapist filth but they must pull others down into the muck. The will not be satisfied until this mass hysteria has successfully permeated the mind of every individual on the internet. Indeed, this is an issue of ideology and idolatry. I merely dislike the youtuber but I truly despise his acolytes for they are the ones who do his bidding and it is due to them that I can't shitpost on this misbegotten hellhole for two seconds without seeing a thread about this guy. If the lord smote every single one of these individuals it would to be far too kind. One can only hope that these foolish individuals come to their senses one day and finally grow up. It is much more likely however that the whole of humanity while enjoin in their escapist delusions, and that my friends will surely mean the end of us and the end of what little life remains on this wretched planet. Steel your souls and sage.

>>12758841
His tweet doesn't really mean anything. The only reason it doesn't appear stupid is that the tweet he is replying to is frustratingly idiotic and myopic, and it is a fairly common "criticism" of the Republic. It amounts to this: "I glossed over the parts of the Republic that focused on education, the soul, forms, music, poetry, and Justice, and instead read the dialogue for the sole purpose of criticizing the city's regime because of "muh tyranny" and "muh socialism". I mainly wanted to sound well-read in political debates."

>>12759452
Cringe but also based and redpilled

>More children being told to read is somehow a bad thing

>>12758653
That would be cool. A rising tide raises all ships

>>12759159
The propaganda in the West is so strong that people literally cannot comprehend that something other than a Democracy/Republic might be better.

Did he take this video down or something? I've heard a lot about him having a retarded take on Kierkegaard but can't find the video anywhere

pewdiepie has good taste in books.

>>12758675

Pewdiepie should read some Popper

ill stop posting frogs if you faggots stop posting about this tremendous homosexual

>>12758675
this is dumb. he’s just encouraging people to read. sorry people are finding out about your top secret books.

>>12758653
where were you when pewdiepie made reading a hip activity.

>>12759452
Good reply.

He seems to genuinely think that The Republic is Plato advocating tyranny with philosophic reasoning.

He should read Atlas Shrugged instead as it would blow his tiny fucking mind.

Its great to see but its not like its the first time literature has been mentioned in pop culture

>>12759212
yo, that's an edgy opinion you have there

>>12760404
The Simpsons has referenced Pynchon multiple times but nobody rushed out and read him because of Homer.

>>12760458
Yeah, but Pewds literally tells people to read, read a lot, and read these specific books. Which is a good thing.

>>12760462
So does /lit/ and look how that's turned out

Most people here want to pretend you can't find Mishima or Dazai by searching Japanese literature. They aren't /lit/s secret

We'll be OK as long as he doesn't find out about Infinite Jest

For one second I thought you were describing /lit/

>>12759824
It's been always like this, fool
If you told someone in the XVII century that monarchy is shit you would be execrated

>>12760184
I mean, he's diving head-first into books like Beyond Good and Evil and Either/Or without the slightest preparation. He's bound to misunderstand it.

>>12758653
>le Plato was merely pretending meme
Enough of this weakass apologism.

Healthy 9-year-old goes to Youtube, gets pumped with massive content of many creators, doesn't feel good and changes - PLATO. Many such cases!

What is the specific age range that gets spergy over pewdiepie? I'm 22 and I think I would kill myself if I loved a blond retard this much.

>>12762207

>He read Kierkegaard and Nietzsche first

>>12761982
>implying

>>12758653
Genuine question: Why is this a bad thing? Why does the intention matter when consuming literature? Let's say for instance it is posturing, and the only reason he reads is out of a desperate desire to seem smart. Are he and his followers not affected by the source material?

>>12761365
She looks exactly how i thought she did.
Fucking terrible.

>>12762388
It's perpetuating the Spectacle, man

>>12762393
I'm not sure what you mean, and I know nothing of "the Spectacle". What does this have to do with intentions while reading?

>>12761614
The only preperarion for Either/Or you need is a state of existential dread you shithead

It's okay guys he still doesn't know about The Leopard.Unless his Italian wife tells him about it,that is.
