The thread got deleted but this was a response I had to an anon who asked where/from which thinkers does modern leftist ideology have its roots:

I think it starts with some of the Stoics, whose work was later repurposed by existentialists like Simone de Beauvoir and postmodernists like Foucault.

Existentialism basically says that you are not a human being just because you exist as a member of the species, you must BECOME a human being through your active participation in existence. The Stoics (as I understand) believed that we were ripped from the divine, briefly imprisoned in earthly bodies to achieve temperance and gain self-control, and returned back to the God-Soul of the cosmos upon the release of death. Because this existentialism considers the body as part of the experience, I think it allows for material realities like biology etc. to have their place.

But existentialists like de Beauvoir are atheists, so their conclusion is different. You are not a God-given soul in a God-given body, you are just an evolutionary accident of consciousness trapped in a biological mass. There is no cosmic human nature that we all share as human beings, only a human *condition*, a constant tension between transcendence - our need to create ourselves in order to achieve true humanity - and immanence - the biological reality of our fleshy prisons, which we as consciousnesses are still cruelly subservient to. Be Beauvoir says we must invent our own meanings to reach transcendence. We are not created, we must create ourselves, and failure to do this, to lapse into immanence, is a moral failing.

I think this is where postmodernism - poorly defined (I've yet to read Foucault himself so take this with a grain of salt) as a skepticism towards metanarratives as fictions to be deconstructed - comes in: what is meaning, anyway? What is creativity? Because de Beauvoir started the discussion by effectively separating the mind from the body while simultaneously rejecting the metanarrative of religion, postmodernism, with its attitude of deconstruction, compliments it well. Meaning is to be discovered by deconstructing the notion of meaning. Identity is to be discovered by deconstructing the notion of identity. Reality itself (remember you are just a consciousness trapped in a body), truth, creativity, hierarchies, science, men, women, etc. etc., destroy these and remake yourself from the pieces. The utopia is already here, buried somewhere in the marble: we just have to chip, chip, chip away until we find it.

Or something like that. I'm a retard too so read the Stoics, the existentialists and the postmodernists to find out for yourself.

Leftism is trying to get free of institutional coercion and repression. You can get pedantic and say it's young men trying to get free of their parents, but as a political thing it IS the historically documented tendency of people who flee from states or any other early civilizational project. The natural propensity to wander as the ancestors did. You see it in the Epic of Gilgamesh. His Tarzan hippie friend Enkidu has to be lured in by the trapping of the then modern state, a prostitute. But it doesn't work for everyone and history is full of tales of the "barbarians" and nomads that resist empires and other sedentary life.
Flash forward to nowadays and we have the more genuine anarchist strains of socialism trending to "primitivism" and the statist Marxist-Leninist sorts failing to offer anything so different or revolutionary from the modern western version of the same thing. It looks about to collapse fairly soon. Good riddance. "Leftism" aches for freedom and sanity. "Leftism" was the most traditional of them all

The general "right" are always pro-institution. They're stunted by states babying them or religions that mold their spirituality. They need father figures to tell them whaat to do. They do have a gentler version that isn't quite so bad, and that's the family loving sort. They want their family close by. It defines them. When you find one of those that also distrusts the state and a church you have a rather admirable sort of right-winger. But on the whole it is the "right" that are the soldiers for "civilization" and social confinement and coddling.

Why should I decide to struggle to get a chance of developing my aptitudes when rich kids are born into wealth and have all the time in the world to develop theirs? Why should I even choose to exists knowing that I was born on the losing side?
I'll have to spend years toiling, hating it, wasting time on stupid shit, dealing with stupid shit of stupid people while rich kids are effortlessly winning all thought-out their lives? They are loved, they have all the comforts, they will be put in history as great artists, musicians, entrepreneurs just by the virtue of having been born into wealth. Most artists, in a general sense, especially musicians, are rich kids who never had to waste time at a job. Most successful people are a result of success, they were born into it, while I was born to toil away my years for some fucking droplets of time that I can dedicate to my passions. Why shouldn't I kill myself knowing that I will never achieve my full potential simply because of my starting conditions? If there's nothing – oh well who cares, the "I" certainly won't lol, save myself some suffering. If I'm stuck in the cycle of rebirth, why don't I just end it here and give it another try? If such thing as a "soul" exists, it would make sense for it to retain its qualities but not its memories upon death. A new cycle will start and maybe this time I'll get lucky. I don't consider heaven and hell as anything more than the constructs born out of human fear, so fuck em.

A punishment without a crime, many such cases. Personally, makes me feel like I'm entitled to a crime, too bad I don't actually want to commit any.
It all comes from the question of the origin of evil, and fuck whoever created it. Be it lonely gods in their pursuit to distill a partner for themselves through suffering or jester gods who enjoy watching you suffer, like sadists playing a video game, fuck gods, man, they are having a laugh for sure. Makes me wonder sometimes why I should choose to provide them with entertainment, too bad all and everything that I do will bring it to them. If you choose to kill yourself they'll surely find it funny, after all, they've been pushing you to it for all this time. Choose to persevere? Imagine how much they'll enjoy playing with you while struggle to find your "happiness". The entire thing is so stupid, and there is nothing I can do to fuck them over. So stupid. I hope those cowards will at least let me meet them after I die so I could kick the shit out them, before heading to hell, or whatever place they choose to send me to, its whatever, life itself is no different from hell, constant suffering, why should I be afraid of endless torture, people eventually get used to anything. Even pain inflicted for ages will eventually make you numb to it. The entire concept of hell if stupid anyway, those fuckers probably got something we can't twist our stupid monkey brain around. It is all so stupid. Fuck them. GOD, I hate the creators of all THIS STUPID SHIT.

why though? what reason should I have to try? We have this myth throughout society that things get better if you put in the effort. If you practice the things important to you, even when they bring you suffering, you improve and will suffer less. My experience has been the opposite though. The more I try the more regret having made the effort and the worse I feel.

I hate this world. I hate what it puts me through. I hate the people who make it unlivable. I hate that I'm just as bad, that i always manage to disappoint myself and that each attempt to achieve something accomplishes a little less than the attempt before it, even though doing it took twice as much effort as the last time. I hate that the things that used to give me pleasure have become hollow, boring and downright depressing. I hate that nobody understands my problems and that nobody has any answers. I hate that the answers I seek in myself don't lead me anywhere. It's just one bad lead after another until I've given up hope

i want to kill myself. I've wanted to kill myself for years and yet I hold back because there's someone I don't want to hurt. Every day my life gets worse and still I hold on. For what I don't know

Who cares about being rich or getting the best education? Possessions in the material world are nothing. Rich people might have a lot of money but they're spiritually and morally dead. They won't ever be happy because their core values are centered around money and possessions (that they will inevitably lose one day). Being poor is a blessing because we can just live and not care about the material world aside from basic necessities. You don't need a porshe to be proud of something, you don't need to go to expensive parties to have fun... you don't need any of that shit. Working sucks but helping people by working an honest job holds meaning. Just uninstall instagram and live a normal life.

I'm afraid you didn't catch my drift, anon.
I've never mention in my post that I give material things a priority over spiritual, or that I care at all about "education", the point is that, despite the stereotype of a "rich kid" you are describing, that is of course a stereotype for a reason, many of the "rich kids", I find, are actually closer to regular young men and women, who are usually just much more intelligent and talented than people of a lower class – it's just a law of nature, progress accumulates.
> They won't ever be happy because their core values are centered around money and possessions
They don't have to worry about struggling for possessions of any kind, so they don't give them any meaning and pursue their aptitudes without a care for what they are going to eat the next day.
Any time you open a wikipedia page of some prominent painter, writer, musician, whatever, unironically check their "early life" section. You'll most of the time find that their father was some high ranking member of society and their mother was from an influential family(this is especially true of all artists until 19-20th century), if not, then most of the time they at least had a functioning family – something that was always rare, but much more so in out time.
(Think of ANY "great" person right now and look up their biography, you might find exceptions, but most likely you'll find that their early life had all the things I've described above and other things that ensure success in one's life)
So my original question could be reinterpreted as:
Why should I care about struggling to develop my talents if, having been born into a place/family that didn't have an idea about what "progress" is, I can hardly ever achieve – in any timeframe that actually matters – the great things I otherwise strive for, simply because of a chance. You could make a point about becoming a parent for the next generation who I, knowing the importance of progress, could raise to be that great person I aspire to be, but, judge me as you may, I'm not interested in manifesting my will through the lives of others, I'd rather be great myself, and because I don't have any conditions for that I will have to endure all this stupid anguish of mundane toil, SIMPLY BECAUSE OF A CHANCE! Obviously this thought alone isn't enough for me to choose to end things, but it plays its role, a significant one.

And I'm sorry, I won't address the rest of your post:

I hate this existence and while conversations with a therapist are cathartic and bring relief, they offer no cure for my malaise. I am nobody.

Our only real motivations are sex and survival. Every other desire basically comes from delusions about fantasy worlds, delusions about what kind of pleasure you will achieve, like the food never tastes as good as the fatass thinks it will before he succumbs to the desire. If you stop believing in delusional worlds where the porn will somehow satisfy you and masturbating will actually be worth it, then the only motivations that will be left are sex and survival. You don't even need the "power process" bullshit, if your survival is secure you can basically have total contentedness provided you stop torturing yourself with fantasies. REAL sex is probably the only desire that isn't for a fantasy, i.e. it is as satisfying as you imagine. Even if heroin or whatever feels better than sex, you will never be satisfied by it.

In fact, you already know my entire metaphysics from instinct, you just don't realize it. My metaphysics is not actually a structure that builds anything, I merely point out what is already there, the only thing stopping you from arriving at truth is thinking there is something there which isn't. In fact, since my metaphysics is true, it describes the world, and is therefore in practice everywhere and by every human automatically. you are already practicing my metaphysics just be reading my post.

I've struggled with this too Anon. I've come to the conclusion that if you're not rich, you need to be willing to die for your art. This means that you need to be willing to be homeless so you can focus on reading, and then writing. The nice thing about being a writer is that it requires so little in terms of materials, but if you want to be more than that it's really the same. Freedom requires destitution, on our part. If you aren't willing to do that, then I'm not sure what to tell you. Is it fair? Who cares.

>The first is death’s irreversibility. Once your body is dead, it cannot ever be alive again. Kids under 3 don’t understand this idea; they’ll talk about dead people as if they went on a trip or took a nap, or will hold open the possibility that dead things can come back to life with the help of water, food, medicine, or magic. Children begin to grasp death’s finality around age 4. In one typical study, researchers found that 10 percent of 3-year-olds understand irreversibility, compared with 58 percent of 4-year-olds.

>The other two aspects of death are learned a bit later, usually between age 5 and 7. One, dubbed ‘nonfunctionality’, is the idea that a dead body can no longer do things that a living body can do. Before this is grasped, kids will affirmatively answer questions like, Can a dead person feel? or If someone died, could he still eat? Can he move? Can he dream?

>Then there’s death’s most befuddling attribute, at least for me: its universality. Every living thing dies, every plant, every animal, every person. Each one of us will someday expire. Interestingly, before children learn this, many believe that there are certain groups of people who are protected from death, like teachers, parents, and themselves. “Without a doubt, most children understand that some people die before they understand that they themselves will die,” the review authors write. And even children who understand that they will one day perish “have a tendency to say that their death will occur only in the remote future when they get old.”

This is the most reasonable approach. That's why it's being called an alt right site, and nobody has had to explain what a lolcow is. Internet archive taking it down makes no sense whatsoever, and I'm surprised a lolcow's lawyer hasn't got mad about that, because while lots of lolcows who weren't legally abused might want all evidence gone, if you got doxxed or wanted proof of a crime committed through the forum against you, erasing the evidence might not be great for you and might make the process more expensive.

i really dont understand why people fall for philosophies that makes them miserable.

why be a nihilist if it makes life feel bleak, directionless, and generally less appealing? why look up to men who themselves were miserable instead of looking up to people who were happy and fulfilled like hugh heffner and john lennon? why be an angry righty guy meanwhile lefties are dancing in the street in a state of ecstasy?

is your choice in philosophy not really a choice? that's about the only thing that would make sense to me.

I think Nihilists generally do not believe they chose Nihilism, but rather that they arrived there and have failed thus far to overcome it.

using it as a coping mechanism is what's so interesting to me since cope is usually used to make dealing with something more bearable, but nihilism in particular seems to do the opposite of that for it's believers. i guess they're opting to feel correct rather than happy, but i dont think i've seen anyone be more fulfilled as a nihilism since they have no ideals to live up to. idk.

anyways, do you think it's the hopelessness that they're in that prevents them from choosing a different philosophy or maybe that no philosophy stands out because they're hopeless?

>> No.20976063

>>20976010
But it's not a coping mechanism. It's more like the absence of anything, including a coping mechanism. It's like depression. Generally, depressed people can't wake up and choose not to be depressed. They see things as they are, and it's as they are that is depressing to them, and what keeps them stuck there is their failing to overcome it. Nihilism is like that. Nihilists fail to see what it is that would enable them to overcome nihilism, and so they remain nihilists.

It's like being stuck in a dark room and not being able to find the light switch, and then you're asking why they don't just turn on the lights and leave the room. They can't find the switch to turn on the lights, and they can't find the switch because it's dark.

I think it's absolutely a coping mechanism since it projects their dark state onto everything and eases the burden of having to improve themselves and find the light that will guide them to happiness. It suggests that there is no light to be found and that darkness is the natural state of the world. I understand that it's reflective of their mind state and the lack of fight that they have, but that doesn't legitimize the belief.

That being said, I could see how this metaphor could be expanded to include many ideologies that make people unfulfilled, and I guess the factor that separates those that stay and those leave is their optimism. It's as if life itself is a test of optimism.

But you have all these assumptions as a given which for a nihilist are precisely not a given. What does it mean for someone who thinks life is meaningless to "improve themselves"? What is improvement? The life they see is fundamentally valueless so there is no such thing as improving. In general, I don't think nihhilists stay in the dark room because they're not willing to walk out, but because they can't find the light switch, like I said. That's not a cope. It's more like a failure.

I think that improvement, at the very least, is anything that makes them come out of misery and directionless.
Nihilists don't live in a vacuum where they are totally unexposed to happiness and fulfillment. I think that they maintain that belief through a rejection of happiness. Their path to Nihilism isn't immediate. It's a decline from a happy, optimistic child to a nihilistic adult that can't find anything to be happy about.

If we want to believe that nihilism is reflective of someone's mental state, that has to be with the understanding that very little people, if not, no one comes out the womb depressed, so it's a place they've been brought to and they refuse to leave.

I feel nauseous, I'm on the verge of throwing up from thinking about how long I've been lonely for. I spent two years hospitalized and isolated from society and just remained that way by choice, something in me snapped and rejected people. How many times I have wanted to say something to someone and I never can, not even good morning to a stranger or something other than what is required of me. God I feel so sick thinking about it, I'm too young to be this isolated and avoidant of others.

I think they would agree that would be the only improvement, but it's one thing to say that in the abstract and another thing to identify what that is specifically. Nihilism is not fundamentally an absence of happiness. It's an absence of meaning. If one fails to identify value in anything, one can still feel emotions like happiness and joy, but one nonetheless feels that all of this in the end is meaningless.

I can't remember a time when a girl willingly touched me, or saw me as a man rather than a classmate, coworker, or acquaintance. I feel like I have more in common with furniture or wallpaper than with other people when I actually socialize. At least the pretend-socializing that happens at work has that thin veneer of politeness and a sketch of kindness stretched over everybody so I can act like people really mean it when they ask how I am or what I did over the weekend.
I don't blame anyone for it. I wouldn't want to hang out with me either. I guess deep down I had some vague hope that I would meet someone who would magically care about me even if I was an unsociable autist with nothing to really offer anyone, and it took way too long for it to finally die. It's still depressing to think about - for the vast majority of the human race, close relationships are common and most have many over the course of their lives, so never experiencing that kind of thing makes me feel like some kind of alien creature wearing a human costume.

The covid vaccine program was a failure

Although it might be the best we have, we need to admit that it's a dud and that working aged people of even average health never required it. The mandates were wrong and people were unnecessarily fired over it, especially now that no one even expects you to get boosters even though they've explicitly said you needed them because "the vaccine wears off and needs a top up for the new strains". How is it rational to not let Novak Djokovic to not play tennis, but players who got only 2 doses from well over a year ago are allowed to play?

It's irrational to even believe you could have gotten a vaccine right the first time let alone one that was relatively rushed and whipped up in such a short time.

If you know how to suffer, you suffer less. I don't know you, but it sounds like you're amplifying your pain—perhaps inadvertently—as a form of self harm. You might be doing that for a lot of reasons, I don't know; maybe you're subconsciously punishing yourself for some perceived fault or sin; maybe you feel powerless in your life and using that as a means of enacting your will over something meaningful (your own well-being); could be anything. Maybe I'm wrong, but I've known a few people that said similar things and I can tell you from experience that nothing good comes from that way of thinking (of course, that is part of the appeal, as far as I understand)

You’ll probably never read this, since the thread is dying, but your post was memorable to me and I wanted to share something.

I once spent many months heartbroken over a man who could not return my feelings. After some time, I indirectly found out (how I can’t really explain) that he struggled with sexual perversion, and seemed to have a serious complex about it. Perhaps I should have been repulsed, but I wasn’t. I empathized with him— it seemed like a sort of compulsive behaviour that he used to soothe his inner feelings of emptiness; feelings which I could relate to. It made me feel deeply sad on his behalf, and increased my desire to show him care and affection and understanding. I wanted to be with him even more, because it seemed as though he really needed me. Ultimately he pushed me away, and I’ll never fully know the reasons for that. But I miss him even now, and I would forgive him unreservedly if he ever reached out to me again. Anyway, I suppose my point is that everyone struggles with some kind of vice, and there is always the possibility of love and forgiveness, if only you’re willing to try. I don’t know you, but maybe the one who you missed your chance with would feel the same way as I do, and would be more understanding than you might think. I truly believe that, whatever has happened, you still deserve to give and receive love. It’s never too late.
