Jesús G. Maestro: «Si los alemanes hubieran leído el Quijote, no habría dos guerras mundiales»

Perhaps you've seen him scrolling, there, in the depths of the algorithm, transformed into a meme, spewing lapidary, rebellious, electric phrases. "Get to work, it's the best form of self-help." "You can't argue with someone who can't reason." "Protestantism is the first step towards concentration camps." "If the French have done anything well, it's lying." "In my opinion, the poem ends with a very subtle misfire, if a misfire can be simulated." "Talking about feminist literature is like talking about the Gijón map of the world." "Philosophy is the luxury of the poor, the leisure of aristocrats, and the game of psychopaths and adolescents." A book could be written in that voice, in that tone. It's already been written. And there we read: "Had it understood 'Don Quixote,' Germany would have saved the world from two world wars." And also: "Before, everything was a sin, now everything is a crime." Or: "The rich don't have an ideology, they have money." And there we find perhaps the most pertinent question of this century: "Are you a person or an emoticon?" @JesúsGMaestro https://www.abc.es/cultura/libros/jes... 🔤 Don't miss a story, subscribe to our channel 🤝 https://www.youtube.com/@ABC_es?sub_c... ✍️ Follow the latest news live: https://www.abc.es/directos-abc/ 📰 All the information on ABC: https://www.abc.es/ 📲 Want more? https://bit.ly/3KKmZvd Visit our social media 🤳 🐦 Twitter:   / abc_es   ⬛ TikTok:   / abc.es   📸 Instagram:   / abc_diario   🟦 Facebook:   / abces   #jesusgmaestro #philosophy #germanidealism #germany #idealism #quixote #literature
