Philosophers who got BTFO'd by their parents
Picrel was written by Schopenhauer's mother. Of Karl Marx, this is what his father had to say
>Frankly speaking, my dear Karl, I do not like this modern word, which all weaklings use to cloak their feelings when they quarrel with the world because they do not possess, without labour or trouble, well-furnished palaces with vast sums of money and elegant carriages. This embitterment disgusts me and you are the last person from whom I would expect it. What grounds can you have for it? Has not everything smiled on you ever since your cradle? Has not nature endowed you with magnificent talents? Have not your parents lavished affection on you? Have you ever up to now been unable to satisfy your reasonable wishes? And have you not carried away in the most incomprehensible fashion the heart of a girl whom thousands envy you? Yet the first untoward event, the first disappointed wish, evokes embitterment! Is that strength? Is that a manly character?

What are some other examples of philosophers getting BTFO'd by their parents?

I think it in my heart of hearts they all maternalized Schelling rather than either one of the German"enighteners" bow to another as a father figure. What a shitshow.

>parent calls child a failure
They're so close to realising what pieces of shit they are but would never admit it because shitty parents put their fragile egos before their children. If your child is a failure it's YOUR fault.

>Schopenhauer's mother
Literally no one even knows who this is. That's the funniest part about this "take down". The woman is literally always introduced as "Schopenhauer's mother".

Translation: I am a stubborn cunt who hates being wrong and you make me see how wrong I am so I will reproach you on that account by using my authority and emotional capacity as your mother to make you feel like the pile of shit that I am.

It's no wonder Goethe didn't treat her as more than Schopenhauer's mother.

Marx's dad too based for a jew so he had to father the literal antichrist.

There’s a reason women weren’t supposed to inherit property. Marx’s father is the more scathing indictment, though most “revolutionaries” are kids from rich families. 1848 was no different.

I for one think we should bring back parricide. It simply isn't right that weak and feeble geriatrics get to dominate into their 50s and 60s let alone into anemic old age.
