Now that the dust has settled, was he in the right or was this an overreaction?
>>25333566Depends. Was the book released less than 6 months prior? Then the stabbing is fair and deserved. If the book was older than 6 months then the stabbing is an overreaction.
This is the only instance of russian violence being justified and not just a chimpout
>>25334732There was a Russian who killed another man when they were debating Kant
>>25333566what a plotfag
>>25333566Depends what "repeatedly" means, I think.TWICE — overreactionTHREE TIMES — fair enoughFOUR+ TIMES — he had more patience than I would have
>>25333566Completely valid.
>>25334737Those kooky Russians. There was a guy in Naples who fought 20 people in a duel over if Alighieri was superior to. Ludovico Ariosto. On his death bed, he confessed that he'd never read either.
>>25334843This is also how I feel about it.After a certain point you are intentionally trying to enrage someone and thus shouldn't be surprised when they get fed up with your shit and go berserk.Motherfuckers are in isolation with likely the one thing that dude had to look forward to was enjoying a good story, and yet even that one thing was ruined repeatedly by someone who derived their amusement by tormenting the other.It ain't a joke or prank. It's bullying because dumbass was bored. Bad idea to bully adults because shit can escalate real fast until something irreversible happens.
Right.As someone who reads two books a month, I totally think it was justified.
>>25334737Plato was known for getting up from his seat and flexing his muscles and air-punching when his philosophical opponents were talking.Diogenes started to masturbate in front of people who disagree with his philosophical views.
>>25333566I always knew plotfags are unfit for society.
>>25333566Overreaction. If you are reading something that can be "spoiled" it probably isnt all that great of literature to begin with, so it really is a minor offence. You shouldnt be mad if someone spoils the end of the Illiad, and that Achilles Kills and parades Hector's body around Troy, to you because you should already know how it ends. For any literature worth stabbing someone over, it is not about any particular unknown plot point its about HOW the books gets to that point and the journey that is taken there. Any plotfag doesn't deserve acknowledgement, much less a stabbing.Now it would be justified if the colleague repeatedly spewed bullshit interpretations of the themes and prose and horribly mangels an authors work into a disgusting mockery of itself. Corruption is a far worse crime than mere exposure.
>>25335067>Achilles Kills and parades Hector's body around TroyThanks for the spoiler, asshole
>>25333566Looked into this story and it's actually true.For clarity, the bearded man was the stabee.
>>25333566In isolation, stabbing someone for spoiling a book's ending is an extreme overreaction but on the other hand when you are actually in isolation in Antarctica provoking someone like that is just asking for it.
>>25334732>>25334737The Bolsheviks changed Russian education to force artistic handwriting and philosophy and the classics and memorizing great Russian poetry on the working class out of the belief it would fundamentally change their character to the advanced stage needed for communism instead of the "backward" state they were in, and their curriculum mostly continues to persist which is why Russia has one of the highest rates in the world of working-class people regularly reading books in their free time. But unfortunately it didn't change the Russian character as expected
Our guy.
>>25333566See, this is exactly why I read ergodic postmodern doorstoppers. If you’re reading the same books as your normie colleagues you’re doing it wrong
>>25335091What? are you going to stab me or something?
>>25333566Under the circumstances it was justified
>>25333566later on, he was so remorseful the other dude agreed to drop the case
>>25333566Does the end matter?
>>25338126It does if the book is good.
