I guess. Was I wrong to assume that our pathos towards life was overcoming our flaws and not incessant seething?

>>17995301
I am malicious because I am miserable. am I not shunned and hated by all mankind? why I should pity man more than he pities me? If any felt emotions of benevolence towards me, I should return them a hundred and a hundredfold; for that one's sake I would make peace with the whole kind. but I indulge in dreams of bliss that cannot be realised. the human senses are insurmountable barriers, yet mine shall not be the submission of abject slavery. I will revenge my injuries; if I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear.
I swear inextinguishable hatred.

No wonder this board is shit again, you're here. Your mere presence is what ruins this board, why do you even come here when you're not wanted?

>>17995341
Yes. The point of life is to learn from and interact accordingly with stimuli. Things that make you seethe should make you seethe. Accepting negative emotion for what it is as a normal, healthy part of existing is a lesson most people never learn in life. Too afraid of pain, sadness and anger, not realizing how blessed they are to live in a world where things are sometimes bad.

>>17995785
You misunderstood me. I very much agree with you that we should embrace negative emotions like anger, sadness and pain, and those who don't reject their humanity. Where I differ is that ressentiment is not something that's life affirming or beneficial to your existence.

We were raised well by god fearing parents who tried to pass on their beliefs to us, but their beliefs were just for show. Mother was a whore who loved Nazi cock and Father was a drunk and blamed the world for everything. When Mother left Father for Mr. Jr. KKK, Father became an born again antinatalist woman hating incel. We are all just trying to cope until this brutal custody battle is over and we can finally get on with life.

>>17997355
No really! I read a book on it. A brain surgeon author even.

>>17997609
Unnecessary aggression my dude, I don't remember every line of everything I've ever read. As a passage it is remarkably similar to the kinds of resentment I see here regularly, and so I assumed it was genuine. Do you have any logs I can borrow, Brother?

>>17995301
Me

>>17997705
>Unnecessary aggression my dude
True, perhaps the protective coloration of vitriol isn’t necessary in a thread made specifically to call that out.
>I don't remember every line of everything I've ever read
If you have even the vaguest memory of Frankenstein that passage should be obvious as the main storyline (in addition to Victor being a whiny faggot) is his creature being an ugly fuck with so much love to give.
>Do you have any logs I can borrow, Brother?
No wood logs but I’m drowning in server logs if you’re interested in those.

I do remember the story pretty well, but I more or less remember the concepts and themes of it rather than the actual prose. Truthfully I struggle to remember any written word unless it rhymes or strikes me as particularly profound. I attribute this to my being primarily an auditory learner. And I don't have any use for server logs but I appreciate the gesture my friend.

>>17997842
Why do you make assumptions of my race based on the vernacular I use in a Tibetan cobbling forum? Truthfully I talk that way because it's more fun than using my full vocabulary and it's more relatable to the people that I work with. I find most people don't like to feel talked down to, even if it is unintentional, so I dumb down my word choice and it makes socializing much smoother. You should try it out sometime, it really is fun.

>>17997609

>>17997888
you sound like a monkey and i unironically in my real actual life refuse to associate with anyone who talks like that

>>17997938
To each his own, my brother. I get alot of enjoyment out of socializing with the people of my community, even if it isn't always at a high intellectual level. I have learned a lot from regular folks. But my perspective is limited, and maybe it does enrich your life cutting out people less well spoken than yourself.

>Where I differ is that ressentiment is not something that's life affirming or beneficial to your existence.
This is wrong. It's perfectly natural depending on one's inner nature; this is actually what Nietzsche argued, and he was correct to do so. Men should act according to their nature, whether that means ressentiment or no. Anything else is denying one's own will; one's own essence.

>>17996172
I forgot to add, you are one of the many people who conflate Nietzsche's doctrine with some sort of "feel good", "eliminate all conflict" philosophy, which is directly opposed to his actual doctrine centered around the will to power and the affirmation of it (by all people; not only the Übermensch. The Übermensch is only created by the gradual evolution of humanity by interplays of the will to power of different individuals, whether they be sentiments or ressentiments). Denying the will to power in oneself is equivalent to the denying of life, ergo if one has feelings of ressentiment, denying them is denying one's own will and one's own life. It might lead to bitter feelings of resignation with superficial happiness and contentment, but those feelings will always be there festering. Nietzsche was about accepting oneself in one's entirety, especially the will, not repressing oneself.

>everything bad is nazis
i guarantee you most of the retarded posters on this board who pretend to have read who they post about are not literal nazis, you guys are assumedly part of that group though

>>17998123
We are talking about the resentful ones not just the ones who don't read. You can not read and not be resentful baka.

>>17998058
it's not about being well-spoken or class or even intelligence, it's about acting like a negro or acting like a white person. i don't mind white people of any class, and have gotten along with poorer ones just fine. but i can't stand negros and i can't stand their language - everything expressed in it becomes trivialized and meaningless, the valence it evokes is one of jovial nihilism and primitiveness. i just can't take anybody seriously who expresses themselves with the language of lower beings

>>17998199
The idea of "lower beings" is a foolish one. We are all of us equal. There are differences of course, but they do not denote superiority. Darwin's finches are an excellent representation of this idea. But I'll meet you where you are, for the sake of argument let's say that black people are inferior. Does the musician that translates the language of the birds degrade himself in doing so? Or is it possible to restructure something inspiring into a more palletable form as to derive increased enjoyment from it? If you were capable of recreating and understanding the language of the animals, would you assume they have no wisdom to teach?

but that's ridiculous, this is putting every single person on the level of human garbage. how can i not interpret that as the greatest possible insult, a libel against the entire human race?

>>17995392

>>17998569
Every living organism is locked in constant battle for survival, you are no better than the worm beneath your boot for it, only luckier. You think yourself better, but you are no less fragile. You assume yourself superior, but how easy it would be to choke on a peach pit. "There but for the grace of God, go I". This by no means is a declaration that there aren't people that need killin, but it is an understanding that I am in truth no better than those, only different.

Every. Single. Time. Someone invariably says "there are more meta threads than the threads they complain about!"

So you pick the bits you like even if it makes your entire belief system incoherent?
>and I also believe that there is no conflict to be had in ressentiment
Then you don't understand what ressentiment fundamentally is. Hint: The prefix re- actually serves a purpose.

>>17995301

because that's just what literature is really all about

FAQ

What does this mean?

The amount of karma (points) on your comment and Reddit account has decreased by one.

Why did you do this?

There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be unworthy of positive or neutral karma. These include, but are not limited to:

Rudeness towards other Redditors,
Spreading incorrect information,
Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.

Am I banned from the Reddit?

No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.

I don't believe my comment deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it?

Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to Reddit PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.

How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on Reddit.com. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Reddit is privilege, not a right.
