  1. So Kierkegaard has an interesting past which I'll go over first because it explains some shit. His father was a fairly-successful merchant who had been a (whatever the danish equivalent of a serf was) before things went in his favor financially. At one point in his youth, he (dad) was stuck on a hill during a thunderstorm and he pulled a reverse Martin Luther and cursed God for being a dick and so from that point daddy dearest thought God had cursed him. Which is kinda understandable because he had like 7 kids and outlived all but two of them (Kierkegaard and his priest brother). So Kierkegaard had enough money to go to school and be a scholar and all that stuff, and things were going good and he even was betrothed to this one girl but then he broke off the engagement and spent the rest of his life being angry at various things (primarily the Danish People's Church). So in that sense he's the godfather of /r9k/ but he liked to go outside on walks and see the people and interact with the world so in that way he's a fucking normie wrrryyy. He didn't really get involved in politics too much and shit past his early youth for a number of philosophical and practical reasons.
  2. Also his fiance ended up marrying a friend of his and they all had a really strained relationship after that but apparently the friend and the girl liked to read his writing out loud whenever he put out something so >tfw you will never have a qt gf to read Kierkegaard with.
  3. Also Kierkegaard's main inspiration was this family friend who was a priest and a famous scholar at the time and when he died Kierkegaard kinda went off the deep end a little (but he never really went crazy like some others cough cough Schopenhauer cough cough Nietzsche)
