How do you cope with having plebian relatives?

>his parents laugh like this was a gag gift
>mfw when they see I'm serious they make me take the books back saying he's too young for those

He's turning into a fucking pleb before our very eyes and I'm the only one who seems to care.

How old is he?

Christie's a based autist. She faked her own death to get his husband in shit when he had an affair, registering herself at a hotel under his mistress's surname. What did they read out, the alternative train timetable for Ascension Sunday in 1934?

*Her husband

He's 6, an important age in his development, so I don't know why his parents aren't taking his education very seriously. They think he's ahead of his age just because he can read a "chapter book" on his own, but they don't care that what he's reading is as far from artful literature as you can get.

>Reading from anything but the Holy Bible at a funeral.
Plebian and damned to boot. What a terrible fate.

>6
Sorry bro it's too late

At least yours read.

I'm afraid you're probably right. He's already corrupted a little by mainstream media. I do have some hope that if he just learned to read important literature, he can build the critical skills to learn to think for himself and deprogram himself.

Fuck it, next time I'm visiting, I'm taking my Plato, and I'm going to fucking make him read it, regardless of whether or not his parents improve. I care about him too much to let his mind rot away and turn into another pathetic useless conformist human being.

>Grandma could barely read.
> Nevertheless she was a devout Catholic.
> Used to go a lot to church, pay 100% attention , she knew some complex litanies.
> Understood about some non trivial issues of ethics and even metaphyscis.
> Had a nice ascetic virtuous life, without even hearing about Plato or Seneca.

My only non-plebian relative didn't even read.

In case anyone wanted to know, this is what true high functioning autism(Aspergers type) looks like. That is all.

Only pseuds and coping midwits read.

When I die I want my grandchildren to read James Joyce's love letters out loud.

>grandma has a PhD in theology
>try to discuss the bible with her
>”I just got to the point where it was so much school I just had to live it, you know?”
I guess women went to school for different reasons back then.

really don't want to give you the (You) but someone has to tell you that you're trying way too hard there buddy

yo get laid?

to

He's six you fucking orangutan

>At user's funeral
>"and now I am going to read a few lines from his favourite book: The industrial society and its future"
>Funeral proceeds with the coffin being a bomb exploding when it is transported

I know this is just shitposting but it gives me a good grin to imagine a Yea Forumsizen autist in a sweatervest and wire glasses shrieking at a small child about the theory of recollection

I think he's sincere.

i support you user in your fight against plebs
Yea Forumspill him from young age

Is Geronimo Stilton still big? I thougth it was something only in Italy six or eight years ago, when my cousin bought a shit ton of expensive books on Kingdom of Fantasy books

if you want kids to read your best bet is have a forbidden books section or some shit and tell them it's too dangerous for them to read those books yet, the second you turn around they'll be reading them

so did you boo him off the stage or not

Based YHWH

I was born in a lower middle-class, plebian family. That explains.

It's best to orate aphorisms to children rather than have them read philosophy tomes. A good book to start is the Penguin collection of Arthur Schopenhauer essays and aphorisms.
