not yet but I'm reading through der einzige und sein eigenthum every time I am on the shitter which is often these days because I made a giant pot of chili that accidentally had like 500% too much spice so my intestines are screaming in pain every 20 minutes

meme post by meme poster

Stirners philosophy confuses me. He is all about "you" yet at the same time what appeals to us the most is or relation to other people (seeing our friends strive) so in the end you end up just acting as an involuntary egoist.

He is a philosopher, not a poet or a fiction writer.

You might not have noticed, but there are autists frequenting 4chan. One of them used to tripfag as a woman and post Stirner shit all day long. He was eventually found out because he left his trip active on another board. Now he's content/forced to post Stirner shit as anon. Don't doubt that it's anyone else but him cause really no one gives a shit about Stirner.

>der Einzige und sein Eigentum (no H in Eigentum and upper cases)

it's crazy how someone came up with "the ego and his own" as an translation to this, it's really google translate tier

>>6975795
nice

>der Einzige und sein Eigentum
Is 'Me and My Own' better?
I agree it's an odd title from my small german knowledge

>>6975885
>no H in Eigentum
Strange, the first cover writes it as Eigenthum. Is eigentum a modernized spelling?

>>6975987
Yes, a bunch of spellings with "th" were changed to "t".

>>6975987
Yes, old German often has th which has been removed in 1901 to make spelling easier.

Unterthan -> Untertan (subject), Thür -> Tür (door) are other examples.

A demonologist transcended mongolist professor and Geist activist was teaching a class on Hegel, known necromancer.

"Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship the end of history and accept that Absolute Idealism is the most highly-evolved sophism to make us feel good about ourselves the continent has ever known, even greater than self-serving petit-bourgeois protestant theology!"

At this moment an uncaring if he was brave because being judged by illusionary social standards was of no importance to him, egoist, unique girl's school teacher who had smoked more than 15000 cigars in Hippel's winebar and understood the spookiness of all ideology and fully supported whatever he felt like stood up and held up "Der Einzige und sein Eigentum".

"I wrote this, innit?"

The arrogant professor smirked quite synthetically and smugly replied "It's not yours at all, fucking egoist, its the stern, reluctant working of reason towards the full realization of itself in perfect freedom."

"Wrong. It's been a few years or something (time is nothing to me) since I, the Unique One, created it. if it was not mine, and idealism, as you say, is not a spook... then Ghost Busters wouldn't have had a happy ending."

The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his balls and copy of Plato's dialogues. He stormed out of the room crying those ironic thesis and antithesis tears, both coming together on his cheeks into synthesis. There is no doubt that at this point our professor, Hegel (who liked to teach about himself), wished he had pulled himself up by his bootstraps and become more than a spook ridden sad cunt interested in arbitrary justifications. He wished so much that he had some kind of Own to hold on to, and he had but just didn't realise it because he was an involuntary egoist.

The students applauded and all started milk shops that day and accepted their Self-Enjoyment as the end of philosophy. An eagle named "Union of Egoists" flew into the room and perched atop the copy of "Stirner's Critics" and shed a beer on the hardcover. "Ich hab' Mein Sach' auf Nichts gestellt" was said several times, and Renzo Novatore himself showed up and demonstrated how hand grenades are nothing but a means of killing police officers.

The professor lost his tenure and was fired the next day. He died of superstition and his "books" were disregarded for all eternity.

It had some decent parts, overall 6/10

You had so much material to go off on on just Stirner and Hegel, too underwhelming
