Sorry man, I was just so excited to see someone reading Nietzsche in this intellectual wasteland of a town.

>>4675975
why I've never read a word of Nietzsche and never will. Imagine if such a thing happened with fans of Kierkegaard
>at the bookstore picking up fear and trembling
>ruddy faced blonde fatass dressed in white and blue approaches
>I see his eyes light up
>"faith!!!!!" he bellows, and trust falls into me
>we both fall over
>never again

>>4675995
o lord
>that face wen qt bookstore clerk pronounces nietzsche right

>>4675975
OP, I have that book too! The Superman!

>tfw can't pronounce anything in literature, science or philosophy right because nobody ever wants to talk about boring nerd shit

>>4676029
And when you do have someone to discuss it with they look down on you because you can't pronounce shit correctly/can't speak a foreign language.

>>4676057
lol are you reading an English translation? jesus, that's embarrassing, pleb.

Not even related, but I'll tell it anyway

>talking with a friend at a park outside of our university
>"yeah man, it's a shame [our uni's name] is seen as a cradle for commies"
>a homeless-looking man hands us a copy of a badly written christin preaching text and walks away
>trying to avoid being fedoras, we read the first sentence, but end continuing with the topic of our early conversation, the man is still near, getting angry
>the guy comes back, takes the copies and says: "¡viva la revolución y el ché guevara¡ ¿no? [long live the revolution and the che guevara!]" in an sarcastic way
>ofw

>no one can even pronounce his name when there are TWO acceptable pronunciations
>the one "fact" that every normalfag thinks they "know" about Nietzsche is "he was a nihilist, right!?"

>>4676184
>trying to avoid being fedoras
It's not edgy to politely give it back to the person who handed it to you.

>>4676184
Street haranguers
good times man

>>4676218
We tried to say something, but he just gave it to us and walked away.

>>4676219
s-so, we m-meet again?

Thinking you're cool for reading Nietzsche (the Dane Cook of continental philosophy) is the ultimate in plebitude

>>4676184
why are his epaulettes getting crunk

>Chapters

lol great store name dipshits

>>4676240
Curious why so many people hating on Nietzsche exactly?

>>4676351
He's standing inside a plane that has it's doors open during take-off.

>>4676382
because hype

>>4676382
Because they can't form their own opinions.

>>4676001
neechee hurr durr

>>4675975
what bugs me is when people insist that neechee is the right pronounciation

you are asking for a punch in the nutsack.

Also it's steve reach. Not rike. His name isn't German. though I can understand that mistake. for the longest time I thought it was reich as in third

>2014
>actually reading Nietzsche
holy crap, those fucks are real

>>4676382
because he insisted that philosophers should be living embodiments of their philosophers while being a pathetic beta male himself (friendzoned by Wagner's wife, lol)

>>4680841
*philosophies

>>4676001
how do you pronounce it properly?

>>4681522
I heard it was pronounced "neetchya"

like nice to meet ya, neetchya

>>4680801
even if it was German it wouldn't be pronounced rike

>>4676193
there's only one acceptable pronunciation, the right one

>>4682736
you heard wrong

>>4682736
Less 'ah', more 'uh'.

>>4680801
uhhh

/ˈraJʃ/

>be me today at Law School
>teacher says "ex nihilo nihil fit"
>girl sitting next to me asks to this other girl whats the meaning of this quote
>second girl answers: "it's probably about the river"
>mfw she thought the teacher was talking about the Nile.

>>4676382
4chan contrarianism.
Guarantee most of them actually like Nietzsche. The joke will be on them when newfags take them seriously and we become /mu/ 2.0

>>4680801
>reach

>>4682977
I'm so afraid of lit becoming mu.
lit is literally kek the best thing in my life right now

>writing 101 class
>guy asks me how to make roman numerals on a keyboard

4chan is normoid central.

>at Chapters picking up my own book just because it's the only way I can get off
>bretty excited
>Talking to qt grill order manager lady
>some slob appears out of nowhere and interjects
>"HEY! Is that Eeeee Eeeee Eeeee? I have that book too! The Tao Lin!
>awkwardness
>qt cashier and i look at eachother
>me: "y-you too."
>leave with book immediately after coming. Ruined by knowing subhuman taolords are desecrating my holy scripture every second of every day

>>4682988
