>One forgotten fact remains that the monastery of Saint Daniel in Hadath El Joubbeh in northern Lebanon harbors a rare document of a noblemen family of Karam tracing back Cervantes to an ancient patriarch, Simonus De Karam Cervantos Kfar Chmim, locally thought to be the great-grandfather of the author and a pillar of early Spanish linguistics.

Don Quixote is crazy and deluded, and yet because his intentions and personality are so noble and his words so profound, he isn’t merely a laughing stock for the reader, but deeply admirable. No matter how many brutal blows he receives, whether it be getting hit by a rock and losing half of his teeth, or being savagely beaten by some slaves he emancipated moments earlier, and a whole host of other misfortunes besides, he never gives up on his mission to right the wrongs of the world and serve the good.

Both. He was some senile retard that wanted to go larping as a soldier. Literally his time's Varg. Cervantes used Don Quixote as an allegory about how he believed that chivalry was dumb because even the Don got cucked by his own imagination int he end.

Undermining legislative authority in favor of social justice is a core aspect of the modern SJW. The Knight of the Lions was simply ahead of his time in acting in a similar manner. Hopefully the SJW movement follows his whole character arc: that is to say, eventually realizing that they are lying to themselves in pursuit of a romantic ideal and then (the movement) dying.

Are you implying that undermining legislative authority in the name of social justice, in a Rawlsian sense, is the same as doing so for chivalric romance?
If you think they are similar because of their "methods", I'd say it was a stretch, but I'd give you a pass. However, surely you'd agree that there is more than one reason to act against authorities. And saying that Quijano's motives were different from those of modern SJWs is a great understatement.

I don't think the priest was meant to show off books Cervantes thought were deserving of being spared. I think it was just a comment about how people can delude themselves into thinking their capeshit was better than other people's capeshit.

Just imagine the priest was a Marvel fanboy and he was going through Quixote's collection of mostly-DC books.

"Ah, Spiderman! He's a hero who shows great responsibility! This should be spared!"

Because capeshit exists solely within comic books and films, both of which are incapable of reaching the sort of artistic value of Cervantes.
