Allow me to be the grumpy old man and posit that this is the result of 21st century narcissism. Not that previous generations weren't self-involved, but I think 2017 has taken it to a whole new level. The issue here is that overexposures to information and social media have in some ways turned a large demographic of under-30s into image obsessed, sincere cornballs as you call them. They constantly take pictures of themselves online because that's what people do now. People always wanted to, but when it wasn't possible they stuffed this desire under a facade of propriety like every mature person. They knew the shame of sharing too much. Facebook has removed all sense of "privacy" from them though so now they just do it because they want to see images, of other people, of celebrities, ideally all of them good looking. They want the stimulation. Meet your fuckmate on Tinder. Their minds might as well be open books to everyone now anyway due to facebook and government spying. You cannot hide your thoughts now, not really. Somebody knows them.

What this is means is that now everyone's image is a specific kind of product. The YouTube kind, the Instagram kind, not a boring commodity. But we all know that our individual images don't make the type of flashy, mass appealing product that celebrities do. So the solution, then, is to just vomit yourself all over other people and then make the disclaimer "haha but really I'm lame and suicidal" or something. It varies between persons, some might believe it, some might not. It doesn't matter because they unleash their selves onto other people regardless, they speak in plain language, they write blog posts without having read well, they are unabashed prostrates of scientism. Examples of famous people like this are Max Landis and Dan Harmon. Just watch one of their interviews and you will think "Good god, this guy shares too much. He wears himself on his sleeve."

This has opened the floodgates for shit like transgenderism to be acceptable. Every ego is correct, restrain nothing, just puke yourself into the world no matter how bad it is and let all revel in each others stink while pretending it is roses. We'll do this while actually being grim recipients of consumer privilege, wearing clothes threaded with the blood of third world sweatshop kids, but let's not dwell on that. The new generation is a bunch of reddit tier faggots, nothing can be done, just accept their bullshit. Every generation hates the new one but the kids get the last laugh when you die. What bothers people the most is that their hypocrisy is new and unfamiliar, while you have become so accustomed to your own generations that it no longer incenses.

" . . . the veil with which self-love conceals our moral infirmity must be torn away."

t. Kant

You can't convince normies to tear away the veil, they are living in their own fantasy land that rewards their decisions. Arguing with people about this like walking into church and yelling GOD ISN'T REAL. It doesn't matter, everybody will still call you a faggot and there's nothing you can do about it. It's a waste of time.

The best you can do is have a positive outlook, ignore the fact that the world is garbage, seek your own fulfillment and realize that nothing you can do will change anything so you either make peace with your privilege of being able to embrace the veil, or you become a depresso activist faggot being mad at a world you can't change. Look at the "socially aware" activists of today, the ones who acknowledge the system sucks. Are these happy people making the world a more peaceful and empathetic place? No, they are just stirring the shit pot even harder. Welcome to hell nigger.

holocaust exceptionalism is a shitty 20th century meme and literally nobody will know about it except history nerds by the year 2200, just like nobody remembers the "exceptional" dzungar genocide where the chinese killed damn near a million mongols in the 1700s, i.e. almost all of the dzungar people.

once all the jews who got camp'd die off and their family members in high places stop spamming this shit all over western media, nobody will care. especially given the hot new trend of multiculturalism where the "white-passing jew" is old news and their suffering as muh chosen people is taking a back seat to brown folk, who have/had it worse than western jews today
