How do I cope with the excessive amount of irony, nihilism, and purposeless world we live in today? Things like pic related don't make me laugh, but instead leaves me feeling gloomy. Everything is treated as a joke and nothing is the objective truth.

No duh. My question is who/what?

just ignore it. you're already the slightest bit superior once you've realized how hard perpetually online people try to one up each other in being "ironic/post-ironic"

It shouldn't make you laugh, this is actually the plan. They post this stuff as a smokescreen to make it seem like they aren't a threat, but we all already know deep down the government is run exclusively by gay trans anime communists.

I retract these books to instead recommend Society of the Spectacle, Simulacra and Simulation, Thinking in Systems, Technological Society by Jacques Ellul, Industrial Society and Its Future, and Capitalist Realism. Eventually one should also get back into Christianity. For that path I recommend Plato, Augustine, Aquinas, Duns Scotus, Ockham, Eckhart, and Kierkegaard. Also the Bible.
