What books or writers of revelance (if any lmao) have the Dutch produced, /lit/?

Marcellus Emants, Cees Nooteboom, Harry Mulisch, and Hella S. Haasse are the most popular Dutch writers outside of the country. Aside from those, there aren't much more, as the Netherlands isn't a real nation, but a mere business venture; and Calvinism pretty much destroyed every creative disposition in the Dutch.

Before Jehova Witnesses and Mormons came to be, Calvinist were Christianity's black sheep, and were criticized pretty much by everybody: Catholics, Luthereans, Anglicans, Orthodoxs, etc.

As if the Lutherans and Anglicans weren't mutually firing potshots at each other! Everyone was criticizing everyone else back then.
The Calvinism of the founding Anglo-Americans and Dutch-American colonists and the secularized Anglicanism of the Founding Fathers were the foundation of the United States of America. America is founded on the rejection of the Catholic Church, the rejection of atheism, the rejection of ochlocracy, aristocracy, science, and thrift, all of which originated from the Reformed confessions.
Jefferson's rejection of classical metaphysics for a strictly secular, scientific system depends on the war the Reformed waged against the Catholic Church.
Anyone who lives in America should thank their local Dutch Reformed church.

Literary all of this (which I already knew, mind you) is, partially, what makes America such a cesspool and epicenter of evil and degeneracy. I spit on the grave of its Calvinist founding fathers and wipe my ass with both the constitution and Franklin's autobiography. That den of freemasons ruined the world with their demonically inspired ideas and, hopefully, are rotting in hell right now, just some levels above the second founding fathers of America (i.e. the Frankfurt school). Calvinism, Zionism, and Marxism: the three heads of the American state.

America wasn’t strictly founded on Calvinism, mind you, but also Arianism and Methodism, which rejected Calvinism’s moratorium on free will. Since both were considered valid in the early American church, freedom of religion came from its wellspring.

Isaac Newton wrote Opticks as well as his theological works in English. He was also a member of the Church of England, if not entirely a pious one, and his belonged to a culture that was doubtless English. Spinoza on the other hand didn't leave behind a single note written in Dutch, spent his childhood and youth immersed in the Jewish culture from which he was expelled but even following his expulsion didn't seem to have much traffic with the Dutch

The concept of ethnic assimilation is not something that was just invented in 18th century North America, it was just especially prominent there due to the mixed origins of the settlers. But American identity is more "ethnic" and Europe identity is sometimes less strictly biological than you're implying.

Honestly dude, the crime you're committing here is not shitting on the Netherlands, every country is shat on in different contexts, and all of them have jokes associated with them; the crime you're committing here is being trite, unimaginative and unfunny. You haven't the first acquaintance with the country besides what other stale, unfunny human printers have posted in threads similar to this one in the past. In fact, I have seen these exact posts almost verbatim before, in threads that were nothing but a permutation of this one. Just the same grey, stale, recycled non-jokes and non-prods made by people who think they're engaging in an organic site-culture that is actually dead as a doorpost. At least larger countries benefit from others having some actual knowledge about them that would make the jokes funnier on account of being deeper than an A4 sheet of paper.

William of Orange is burning in hell sucking the devil's donkey cock for being a filthy heretic and creating one of the epicenters of modern decandency in the world. The Dutch were some of the first 'progressives', with policies of religious tolerance and widespread individuality---any intelligent person should know that these two are some of the great poisions of modern society. Also, the Ducth delivered Indonesia to Islam, making it one of the most muslim nations in the world.
This, in addition to their positive attitude towards LGBTQ+ stuff and euthanasia, makes us see that the Netherlands has acted as nothing but cancer for this world, and should be properly eliminated.

>>23297809
The Dutch people are not only proud, but also smug about their achivements to destroy western society. The most extreme, blatant, and demonic manifestations of liberal degeneracy are common place among the Dutch. Any inclinatiom towards Western Traditional values is dead in The Netherlands. They've delivered their souls to the devil, wallowing in sin, justified by their own conceitedness. But God will punish them by drowning their country. Of course, the Dutch will try to escape their fate---they believe that their fate is on their hands, and not on God's---our duty is to not allow them to do so. During the next great flood, kill anything that speaks [Dutch].
>>
The Netherlands is a cancer, a mistake, an abomination, a sacrilege against the one and true God, driven by the demonically inspired heresies of John Calvin (who' s in hell right now, getting sodomized for all eternity by a various set of demons). The history of the Netherlands is nothing but a series of blatant transgressions against the natural order, fueled by conceitedness and lust for power. Every Dutch does nothing but participate in this demonic frolic of sacrileges by upholding their liberal and secular anti-values as "progressive". The average Dutch is a pot-smoker atheist who's either gay, bi, or trans, who defends the EU and the """right""" of people to either kill themselves of be killed by physicians---they're all the devil's servants, even if they don't believe in him. The devil will lose, and all the Dutches will accompany in hell for all eternity.
I curse the days in which William the Orange, Erasmus, Spinoza, Anne van Gogh-Gorter, and Hugo Grotius were born. Although there isn't a curse in any language that's able to contain all my hatred, my sheer loathe for the Dutch and the evils they have brought to this world.

That's such a shallow puddle of an identity. If a person were to be born and raised in the Netherlands, with Dutch adoptive parents, who had never known any other culture but that of the Dutch, but was born to and abandoned by, two Poles that happened to be in the country at the time, they would not be considered Dutch? And a person born in America and raised by two American adoptive parents, who has never heard of his heritage, but was born to and abandoned by, two Dutch parents, they would be considered Dutch? So hollow an identity hardly deserves a nation constructed around it. It holds as much meaning as that "sticker stamp of approval from the government."

And here is where the point went over your head entirely. The examples I gave you were ones in which the subjects were entirely removed from their families, and thus had no connection to them and their identities. Do you really think that if you dropped that American off in the Netherlands, he'd find more kinship within his "rightful people" than the place he'd known all his life? If you do, I have a windmill to sell you.
>No Japanese person considers pic rel Japanese, nor does he consider himself Japanese

People of Germanic/European origin standing up for and supporting each other on the basis of shared heritage and values is a threat to people like you, that's why you constantly have to put Whites down and shill your stupid religious views, which aren't even relevant.

I'm sure you'll pretend to be "English" or whatever, but it's obvious you're a hateful 3rd world mongrel. If someone actually wanted to learn about the roots of the spiritual decline of the West and humanity, they'd just read the Traditionalists.

I think it's more just brown/mixed incels who are butthurt over Whites dominating and mogging their people or something. All the Dutch (usually SA) I've known in America have been top-quality people, both in terms of intelligence and physical stature/looks (tall, strong, blond, etc.), as well as being extremely kind and hardworking. I don't see why anybody would have a problem with them unless they are just butthurt/resentful 3rd world teenagers, or some sort of anti-White psyop.

You're playing games here. Why don't you acknowledge that "Dutch people" exist in a genetic sense in the same way North American Gray Wolves do, and that simultaneously there exists citizenship (i.e. sticker) and that "Dutch" can be used to refer to both, but in this context means ethnic. Is that so difficult? Does the concept of "Dutch people" or "Germanic peoples" or "European peoples" existing offend you?
>>
>>23299436
>Does the concept of "Dutch people" or "Germanic peoples" or "European peoples" existing offend you?
Obviously it does offend his ilk. It's unfortunate but most of these non-Whites are really easy to understand through simple game theory. They are aware that Whites having ingroup preference is disadvantageous for them at a fundamental level, it is empowering for White people as a whole. This immediate, instinctual self-interest is inherent to these base 3rd worlder types, Whites/Westerners don't understand it at all and are easily tricked.

I mean seriously, no hard feelings, but why would we make a bunch of foreign dumbshit 3rd world peasants citizens? What benefit does it have for White/Western ethnicities or nations as collectives? Or, on an individual level, ask oneself the same question. Really, there is no need for a massive importation of 3rd world peasants, apart from keeping the parasitical financial system afloat. It's just making our superior countries shit-tier, and these 3rd world faggots are just here for money.

Also if you think that a gang of canniballistic simians from Haiti can or will integrate into a quiet European village, you are probably a delusional old lady who watches MSNBC all day in a care home, or some other form of an utterly clueless mindslave.

Hmmmmm....I guess it must be pretty mind-blowing to you that people (especially of similar origins, like Europeans) can integrate culturally without actually being of the exact same ethnicity. But that doesn't disprove any identity, you simpleton. In reality, it actually affirms "identity", or HEREDITY. You are not refuting anything, you are bringing up random extremes which have no bearing on reality. It is extremely simple-minded, like when these leftist children try to deconstruct other things (as well as White ethnicities, obviously).

You're coping that Whites have their own national identities and can be exclusivist, like an angry little anti-White gremlin. White people have a right to their own homeland and a right to self-determination as well. Cope.

These situations aren't comparable, since wolves and humans are different species. Obviously a human can never be a wolf, but they can damn well integrate into a culture they do not descend from.
>Why don't you acknowledge that "Dutch people" exist in a genetic sense
I never said I didn't? I'm sorry if it same across that way to you, but I said nothing close to "the Dutch don't exist as a distinct genetic group." That was never the point. What I am saying is that attaching an identity to that genetic group, such that those not belonging to it are ostracized from Dutch society or relegated as some "other" is a completely irrational standard.

Okay now change it to Grizzlies and Polar bears, after all they can procreate and create fertile offspring, and it does happen in the wild, so they're the same species by that hard definition. Principle is the exact same dumbass.

You're arguing against no one. My exact point was that people of varying ethnicity can integrate into nonnative societies, but that any identity who *only* considers those of its dominant genetic makeup as members is shallow. I don't know how you could have such awful reading comprehension.

Who cares? why am i supposed to give a shit about some dumbshit paki? why should i be motivated to accept some retarded foreign peasant in to my cultural/ancestral lineage? i care about my own people first. i would care about other Europeans over some random immigrant with 4 different citizenships/passports to farm benefits off of like a subhuman. That's just how it is. There is no impetus for me or for others to accept outsiders. In fact, we see the error we have made, i think. Too bad the governments don't listen to the will of the people because they are controlled by finance.

No, Dutch cultural heritage is not intertwined with genetics, at least not in the sense that someone of non-Dutch heritage can't be Dutch. That was my original point in >>23298907. That the hypothetical Polish descendant is just as Dutch as those around him in the Netherlands. I never argued against the Dutch having an identity, just that if it was solely determined by genetics (which it isn't in real life, but I was speaking for the sake of the hypothetical) that it was shallow.

>Am I supposed to care
Fantastic counterargument
>>23299551
The OP just says "the Dutch." It says nothing about genetics or race. And what about
>Ah yes, the true deep ocean of identity is the economic zone with with transient imagined borders, not family or kinship. kek.
You're not seriously trying to convince me that that isn't a value judgement referencing identities formed around non-ethnic lines

I got baited into a civic vs ethnonationalism debate, sure. I'm back on course now. Spinoza is not Dutch in the sense the OP was implicitly about. Just like Orwell is not Indian or Claude Cohen-Tannoudji is not Algerian.

100 with how many about literature? 4?

>Spinoza is not Dutch in the sense the OP was implicitly about.
But that's the problem, you're projecting onto the OP that he was asking about the ethnically Dutch, but there's nothing in the post to imply that. Unless you mean that Spinoza was not Dutch in a cultural sense

>>23299629
Get with the sitegeist. That's obviously what he meant and if you're so unsure ask him.
>>
>>23299634
Is that the sitegeist? Or is it you projecting what you personally consider important onto others?

Nescio is great, dunno how well he translates.

America's sense of early modern heroism is based on LARPing conspiracy theorists.
For the Dutch it's the invention of the joint stock company.

I admire your patience, I got tired only from skimming the conversation. Reducing it to ethnicity is retarded. To these people Rudold Borchardt and Kantorowicz weren't German writers either.

Anyways, I was considering reading Nooteboom soon-ish.

>>23299758
>Borchardt, Kantorowicz
Impressive, anon; very nice

Not directly relevant to OP,
but a new translation of Either/Or was released last year. It's supposedly "more literary" than the first, whatever that means.
>>
Spinoza

Are you being sarcastic? Most posts are insincere, so it's hard to know.

>>23299805
>Either/Or
Anon... that one is Danish
>>
>>23299841
Ah, but was he genetically Danish or did he merely live in Denmark?
>>
>>23299841
No sarcasm there. Many of those German intellectuals around the George-Kreis are very interesting.

I think so too, although Borchardt's work is a bit hard to access. What happened to the Jews always saddens me and I feel nothing but repulsion towards many posters here. It becomes even more frustrating – if that's even impossible – when you see how much they loved Germany, going as far as Borchardt retroactively trying to create German renaissance literature through compiling and editing poetry and even translating Dante into his artificial Dante-Deutsch.
