>”If 18th-19th Century German society had read Cervantes instead of Kant, Hegel or Nietzsche they would’ve spared themselves two World Wars.”Is this Spanish literature teacher in the right?
J. G. Maestro is a sophist and an idiot. Nobody should listen to him. Many people have fallen prey to his sophistry, one of my dearest friends included.
>>25340659>Is this Spanish literature teacher in the right?>if i have no feelings then i won't try to kill youyes, he was completely right
>>25340659No considering even Cervantes realized he was misguided in writing Don Quixote.
>>25340659Don Quixote was widely read by the German Romantics, Schopenhauer, etc. …
>>25340672>idiotyou wish, he might be wrong in some regards but the guy is smart and consistent
I find it suspicious when someone chooses youtube as their platform for spreading ideas. I'm not sure that I'm justified in my suspicion but it sure smells
What would they have done instead because of Cervantes?
>>25340659>Guns N Roses Appetite for Destruction poster in the background>Slash claimed Voodoo affiliation. Not the Haitian variety but the 'americanized' version.>Axl could possibly be a living embodiment of Nietzschean philosophy. Brilliant, completely egotistical to a point of megolomania, self-destructive, authoritarian, raised strictly religious but still wound up that way.>Axl fought the authorities hard. Axl also had a period where he sought the spiritual teachings of a middle aged Asian woman in Arizona who convinced him to start buying throat elixers and that touring in Japan would infect him with bad vibes due to the energy grid structure. >Axl loves the catcher in the rye.I'm going to give this tuber the benefit of the doubt since AfD was a legitimately great album but I'm not sure he has a point on this unless he wants to chuck the literature and deal with Nietzsche or stick to his position and deal with Nietzsche.
>>25341160He is a teacher and writer first, retard>>25341166Cope with reality instead of letting monsters of idealism fly free causing ruckus, I guess
>>25340659This guy is the quintessential pseud but at least he is funny. What reveals him like a pseud is his opinion on the fantasy genre and saying shit like costumbrismo is better than other genres lol. Literal cat lady the genre.El tipo debe dejar de oler sus propios pedos por DOS minutos.
Good Christians be like "if I had a donkey I wouldn't be so bitter"insane Christians be like "yeah, maybe 30 people showed up it was pretty crazy"
>donkey hotay teaches us how to accept mulatto mcdonalds without putting up a fightCool I will remove that one from the to-do list
>>25341358Que ha dicho sobre la fantasía? Me cuesta tomarlo en serio con sus declaraciones tan absolutas contra la literatura anglo.
>>25341636Básicamente que es por y para críos. Ha derrapado duro.
>>25340659Not really how history works, which he perhaps could have known if he read another great German author, Marx.
Both World Wars could've been avoided if the masses were kept illiterate.
>>25340659The Germans literally--not figuratively but literally and PROVABLY--tried to stop World War I from happening. The Kaiser wrote a letter to the Austrian Government saying in no uncertain terms "Hey Serbia's concession is good enough let it go" but because of an entirely mundane quirk of protocol it was delivered by carriage messanger instead of transmitted by telegram and the Austrians had already invaded Serbia by the time it arrived because the Archduke, who was dead, was the only guy who didn't want Total Balkan Death which has nothing at all to do Kant, Hegel or Nietzsche and everything in the world to do with the Serbs making the Taisei Yokusankai look like the BLP in 1935.World War I did not happen for ideological reasons, it was a long-form demolition of Central European Power intentionally engineered by the Entente. Leave it to the pencilnecks in fucking academia to think that the Kaiser's reading habits have any influence whatsoever on whether Balkan Nationalism is a threat to the stability of the Osterreich. Hey I hear Ludendorff read Brothers Karamazov I'll bet that's why Ludendorff advocated unrestricted submarine warfare in 1917, because he was used to holding his fucking breath and wanting to die.FUCK I'm really gonna do it this time
>>25341838Lmao
>>25341838>Hey I hear Ludendorff read Brothers Karamazov I'll bet that's why Ludendorff advocated unrestricted submarine warfare in 1917, because he was used to holding his fucking breath and wanting to die.Pure gold my friend.
>>25341838Yup. OPs idol is another grifter trying to profit from contrarian views through youtube. The fact that he is a teacher makes it even worse. I guess the most generous interpretation is that he is just plain uninformed
>>25340659If the Spanish had read Shakespeare there would not have had a civil war
>>25340659Spanish people are so fucking cringe when it comes to cervantes, I can only assume its just like italians and dante where they are still seething about shakespeares existence so they devote their entire life trying to bring one of their own up to his level, so cringe. for some reason french people dont seem to do this, and goethe is probably the only guy you can compare to shakespeare so its not cringe, I dont know if the scandinavians are doing something similar but those mediterranean countries are so embarrassing
>>25343164>FrenchAssume that they are superior to everyone else in French fashion>SpaniardsSeething in the corner while clinging to Cervantes>GermansSmugly sit on top of Wagner and Goethe >EnglishToo busy decoding Shakespeare to even remember that other countries exist
>>25341228in all fairness i"m pretty sure that's not his setup, he was a guest in some other show
>>25343164>trying to bring one of their own up to his levelkek
>>25340659No, that's fucking retarded
>>25341838>The Germans literally--not figuratively but literally and PROVABLY--tried to stop World War I from happeningIf nobody was itching for WW1, it would just have been a border skirmish. Not that different from Israel bombing any of their neighbor countries in retaliation from hosting whatever puppet group it contains. If Germany did not want WW1, they could have done the same as Scandinavia did. They did not have to sign treaties and be itching for WW1 themselves. Why did the Europeans itch for WW1? Because at that point anybody with even anything resembling an army had been fighting various colony wars with their new fancy gear, and was high on their victories. >>25341166Don Quixote still do things men want to do, which is the allure and selling point.His failure is a bonus, even more so when the prose is very poorly translated.
