Mishima and Dostoyevsky. I myself am a Stirnerite, so I am at total odds with their aesthetic nationalism, but I still immensely love them as writers.

These, but go read The Ego and Its Own instead

Unironically read Stirner. He perfectly explains how liberal "individualism" is just the product of state worship, and how liberalism really produces the utmost subjugation.

>If the point is to have myself understood and to make communications, then assuredly I can make use only of human means, which are at my command because I am at the same time man. And really I have thoughts only as man; as I, I am at the same time thoughtless.[Literally, “thought-rid”] He who cannot get rid of a thought is so far only man, is a thrall of language, this human institution, this treasury of human thoughts. Language or “the word” tyrannizes hardest over us, because it brings up against us a whole army of fixed ideas. Just observe yourself in the act of reflection, right now, and you will find how you make progress only by becoming thoughtless and speechless every moment. You are not thoughtless and speechless merely in (say) sleep, but even in the deepest reflection; yes, precisely then most so. And only by this thoughtlessness, this unrecognized “freedom of thought” or freedom from the thought, are you your own. Only from it do you arrive at putting language to use as your property.

Sounds like Stirner would've loved Zen Buddhism desu.

>Only I am not abstraction alone: I am all in all, consequently even abstraction or nothing; I am all and nothing; I am not a mere thought, but at the same time I am full of thoughts, a thought-world.

>When one looks to the bottom of anything, i.e. searches out its essence, one often discovers something quite other than what it seems to be; honeyed speech and a lying heart, pompous words and beggarly thoughts, etc. By bringing the essence into prominence one degrades the hitherto misapprehended appearance to a bare semblance, a deception. The essence of the world, so attractive and splendid, is for him who looks to the bottom of it — emptiness; emptiness is = world’s essence (world’s doings).

I now know that I am the only one, and I know the difference between a concept and an object, which is something that seems to evade many people who do not read

Stirner is a Zen teacher who happened to be spawned in 19th century Germany and figured enlightenment out for himself, using the Hegelian tools of his time to do so or at least describe the phenomenon.

this is why nietzsche was doomed the moment he decided to take schopenhauer as a foil and disregard hegelianism completely

Shit, it's almost like people mostly living hundreds of years ago in Asia who specialize on psychological/spiritual problems DIDN'T give a shit about materialistic problems which were addressed in the scene of Western science many years later! I mean, it's not like there were OTHER religious institutions that dealt with those problems in those countries like Taoism or Hinduism, right?

Here's an example of Buddhism having already tackled logic problems the West couldn't even conceive for most of its history: https://aeon.co/essays/the-logic-of-buddhist-philosophy-goes-beyond-simple-truth

You don't understand Stirner.

There was never any "them", it was always only "me".

A hammer that shatters the shallowness of complacency.

Stirner goes at it tooth, claw and nail in the philosophical rooms of pretension stripping the layers of wallpaper one by one. Christianity, Socialism, Liberalism, Morality, Belief, Virtue, Ideology, Nationalism, Patriotism are all consigned to the trashcan of history.

Marx hated him, both for his iconoclasm and for disassembling Marxism. Belief in forces laying outside of the self were the anathema, god is as laughable as the proletariat, both exist as wheels in the head.

Therefore, what remains? Existential nothingness, the dread of being. The feeling of being trapped or released from your own thoughts, the zest of being alive. The world is composed through the individual who is thrashed, psychologically derided and nullified until they accept their place in the hierarchy. This is all an illusion and exists as a form of mass hysteria in peoples heads. They back it up with weaponry and zeal but there belief system means nothing in the sum totality of the universe. The first stage in recognition of the multiplicity of freedom.

Stirner is the man who went through the wallpaper, through the pain, and found the coated layers of plaster underneath - unsullied. He shares many of the same qualities as Nietzsche, except Stirner was the first to reach the cold North Pole and plant his flag.
