I posted to reddit and it got downvoted (it got one downvote after 1 minute), maybe because they thought I was trolling. This is what I said: I like PewDiePie and I liked this little book review. I just like consuming any opinion on something I also like. Also I think Consider Phlebas cost me six months to read, on and off, because it's so slow, like most of Bank's books, so power to him for finishing it much faster. (I think it was mostly the last part that took me forever, I don't know why.) Horza was indeed a great character. |

he looks like he has been through a mental breakdown and changed quite a bit or something |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
he stopped making videos he doesn't enjoy making (mainly let's plays) and stopped pretending he liked doing video's altogether (but he does like what he does now) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
fair enough he is probably minted for life so he might as well be true to himself now |
||||||||

i thought the whole vidya was great, i skipped that one scifi book, because i haven't read it yet Pewds will start a book club and will read Nietzsche and Life 3.0, he says at the end |
||||||||
|

|
|
he should read Das Kapital and redistribute all his filthy lucre to his viewers |
||||||||
|

i heard they kicked him out of his homeland Sweden for being a dirty capitalist pig |
||||||||
|

||||||||
|

That's got to be a joke, Sweden is supposed to be near the top for , maybe a Swedenish person can clarify |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's probably half a joke he wanted to be abroad anyway and he literally took the place with the single best internet in the world |

No man can claim to truly understand the times we live in unless he has been accused of being *literally* Hitler. I've no opinion on the guy, save the default position I'd adopt when faced by someone with a name like PewDiePie who lived then died by YouTube. I'll watch his review of Phlebas later. I'm currently taking aaaaggges reading the Iluminatus! Trilogy, I've had to keep a note of who all the characters are to stop getting lost. Or is that the whole point? |

i think he technically said someone else was hitler, or let poor africans say it with a sign. it was kind of funny and satirical. but media then said he was a nazi, then later he said the n* word. he really goes into this beautifully in his picture of dorian gray review, also in this video. |

What a great trilogy that is, full of sex and magick and conspiracy and myth and memorable characters like Hagbard Celine and The Midget. And it's the only immunization you ever need against getting brainswarmed by an ideology or cult meme-complex. |

I really should read this book |
||||||||
|

it's a fucking fantastic book |
||||||||
|
|

will definitely get it now |

consider phlebas owns spewdiepie, however, does not. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we talking about Iluminatus or Consider Phlebas now (the book, not the poem) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
forgot ? |
||||||||
|
|

forgot """ |

I have finished Illuminatus! now - I felt exhausted when it was over, and reluctant to leave that world. I do feel somewhat changed after reading that book. Sorry if, a bit like at the end of Consider Phlebas, I derailed the thread. |
