This is not a post.

Big Dave was inspired by these books so I should say not.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid is actually fairly complex narratively for a children's book desu.
Instead of a good protagonist or a protagonist who is mischievous but kindhearted, Greg is simply a bad person: he's douchey, arrogant, self centered, and up his own ass in every way, and he never really changes except a little, in every book he is still the same kind of guy, he just learns small lessons. He does things because he wants to do them, and his only cares are often for the trouble or perceived gains he will get out of them. Only in his most humanistic and idealistic episodes does he truly think of his friend, who in all secrecy he dislikes but stays with out of self serving need to not be alone. He's in many ways the Meursault of the world of children's literature, the Roquentin of the school book drive: he is driven completely by his own wants and desires and is in fact rather nihilistic most of the time. While he does have breakthroughs of humanity and compassion (compare Raskolnikov), he often reverts to this semi-nihilistic way. He loves his family, sure, but only in the kind of way that Meursault loved his mother as a child.
Think about it.

>Would you like to talk of piety Euthyphro?
>Sure Socrates
>Would you say that piety is that which is loved by god?
>Why not, Socrates
>hoho why not indeed! the state of action cannot precede the action itself, hence the state of being loved cannot precede the action which is loved. Therefore being loved by the gods only explains the state of piety, not piety itself. So, you see, you're actually wrong Euthyphro
>I have to go now Socrates
>w-wait! we still haven't found out what piety is!

Was Socrates a sperg?

Socrates the person, or Socrates the character from Plato's writings?

Dis?

i feel like "this" must have come from some programming forum because when you're referring to the object itself in a language like java you use "this" to address it, so like if you are assigning an internal variable you'd be like "this.variable = aNumber" etc. so i figure when some fag is saying "this" it originally meant to refer to the thread so maybe the op? like if the thread topic is "kill all normies" and you say "this" you're just referencing the op, but since most ppl aren't autismal object oriented programmers, people started using "this" to refer to random quotes and other non-op posts...at least that's my theory, but it could just be some stupid shit that never mad much sense

I seriously doubt anyone here would disagree with you

I wish he had lied and said he was farther away from civilization.

I actually enjoyed it and could connect with Tom Buchanan, being a redpilled male myself.

>yfw you have no face.

He's a messenger with an insatiable desire to understand (and transmit) the How and the Why of the What that continues happening, which is itself a blissfully destructive wind that keeps him pinioned.
But I am thinking of Hoelderlin, not Goethe here.
Are you familiar with the little hunchback, anon?

I've actively avoided reading Lolita because every book-cover I've seen is degenerate as shit.
