>«A MAN IS THE SUM OF HIS ACTIONS.»

THAT ONTOLOGICAL MATERIALISM IS WHAT DAMNS HIM TO REDESCENT INTO DOOMERISM —«THE DOOMER» IS SULLEN, «THE GOGETTER» IS FRENETIC —BOTH OF THEM ARE EQUALLY FATALISTIC.

>man is the sum of his actions

That does sound more doomer-tier desu.

Your current circumstances result from actions in your past. Opportunities either keep opening up or keep closing as the consequences pile on.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Life is brutal

Read Tolstoy. He was a soldier in the Caucasus, he fucked around in his youth before marrying a loving wife, he had a billion kids and was incredibly successful and influencal both in literature and in politics. Yet he had several periods of heavy depression and loss of faith, including at the end of his life when he escaped his home and died in the middle of nowhere. His books are all about confronting the futility of life without giving in to apathy

what about books with this protagonist

Absolutely based.

The Iliad. Great men have always taken Achilles as a role model: Alexander the Great and Napoleon to name a few. Read it and model yourself on him. (I recommend Robert Fitzgerald translation)

>>13178546
do amerimutts really do this?

how exactly is fear the enemy? humanity would been wiped out a long time ago without it

I understood the outline of the iliad as a child, yet still cannot read it. Isn't the translation terrible anyway?

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaas queeeeeeeeeeeen stop trying to defend your failed meme it's now somehow more unredeemable lmao

>>13185121
Why are you pointing out all the evidence that it's a false flag in an attempt to show it isn't false-flagging?

>stop trying to defend your failed meme
How the fuck would anybody "defend" their meme by accusing themselves of false-flagging?
This is the kind of logic you come up with as an autist that can't fathom somebody would disagree with him unless they had some personal reason to. Get the fuck off my board.

>>13178437

Charts are usually of the gay, but this one tickles my literary nut.

Props to “Old Man and the Sea”

what if they are false flagging to be seemed like false flagging? Stop moving the goalpost in a mere attempt to avoid the defeat.

>>13185256
>moving the goal post
You see newfriend, the issue with randomly parroting funny terms you've seen the cool kids throw around is that the person you're talking with can always do this:
Literally where did I move goalposts? Point it out you fucking parrot.
Maybe the last sentence in my previous post was utterly cryptic to you, so let me throw you a bone: I'm not the guy that posted the meme. The assumption itself is logically flased, as I have demonstrated.

Lurk for two years before posting.

Why are you proud of abstracting people into an inaccurate simplification of their mindsets

>>13185425
>Why are you proud
I am simply asking questions
>abstracting people into an inaccurate simplification of their mindsets
They're abstracting themselves with the >who /doomer/ here. They wouldn't be posting memes and saying "this is literally me" if they weren't limiting themselves.

I am not even saying that it's very prolific, but the amount of media that is focused on the sad man/happy man and variations thereupon (see the hours long videos on youtube) prove that people deeply identify with it.

>>13185481

>>13185443

>>13185481
Your observation is correct and your concerns would be justified, if those people were actually serious about identifying with it. In reality it's just entertainment to them and very little actual limiting occurs.

Holy fuck I am him, really
