If you are reading this, I want to let you know that I have been thinking about you for the past day. I hope that you are feeling better and remember, you will always have people here on /lit/ that care for you.

Stay strong brother, and keep walking, the tunnel may be long, but it WILL end; things WILL get better.

But if you’re consistently browsing on /b/, /r9k/, /gif/...places full of gore, cruelty, hatred, conspiracy theories, constant pessimism...even subconsciously it will get to you.

Man, shit they had to day about her was disgusting; more broadly, the people there are incredibly misanthropic and self-hating. If one of the only rays of light you have in your light is posting about your degenerate fantasies about some random girl and your love/hate relationship with her, there's no way you can be leading a remotely fulfilling life. Spending time there with people of that mindset /cannot/ be healthy, even if you yourself are relatively normal.

We laugh, we hate, we love, we cry, all together, and all without knowing eachother's names. We share our achievements our downfalls.

kek check out some immolation death videos in a rekt thread before you do.
After the skin burns off and all the gasoline has burned you are still alive for a while, but the initial pain has left since all your skin is gone.
You actually only die from suffication (due to the lack of skin) or from blood poisoning.
People say drowning is the worst way to go, but I am fairly certain for non-torture deaths immolation is the worst.

I don't disagree. It'd be nice if the board weren't filled with shills, midwits, and brainlets spamming HABBENING threads all the time. That said, the board's nature is pretty much guaranteed by the fact that the topics discussed are relevant to those in power. The ratio of authentic posters to inauthentic posters can't be very high.

Good threads aren't rare, though, even if they're buried in filth. The most useful content is usually nothing more than a collection of related facts (e.g. jews control mass media or pornography). Sometimes anons pop up with revisionist history that seems to bear out. Pretty sure I learned about Antony C. Sutton on /pol/, can't remember. He's worth checking out. "Wall Street and The Bolshevik Revolution" is a take on the events leading up to WWI that heavily cites primary documents from the time. It is a story that has never been and never will be told in primary education or academia.

I can’t speak for that anon but I can say that I’m also suicidal, or at least, I’m pretty close to being suicidal in the sense that I’ve considered it pretty much daily for a while now. So while I haven’t committed to it, it’s in the back of my mind. For me personally, being able to walk in any direction isn’t a liberating feeling. Fundamentally, I, and I think a lot of suicidal people, feel at odds with the world around us. There’s two problems there - the world, and us. The world is what it is and I think people find various ways of coming to terms with that and doing what they can to redeem it. That’s a struggle in itself but a much more difficult struggle is trying to redeem yourself. Do you know how it feels to just fundamentally hate yourself? To hate who you are? How you look? How you’ve lived? How you live? You can’t just erase who you’ve been, who you are, and teleport yourself to a new ideal present. That’s where the despair really sinks in, I think. What good is it to walk in any direction when your legs are broken?

Most non SS hated SS. The more independant and vocal the more hated (goebbels feared Heydrich). Thats my understanding. I havent read a book specifically on the SS though. They are too occultist and obfuscated for me.

>>17808873
>Did Goebbels value truth or did all truth have to serve propaganda?
the reason I read the diaries was for learning Propaganda, but if you read Ellul, Bernays, Lippmann etc. you know that Propaganda is very versatile and dependant on every situation so generalizations are not fitting, but can still some what bemade:
Goebbels definitely always held truth highest and would not lie about the NSDAP or Wehrmacht's efforts. He would rather not talk about something in the media than lie. (i.e. post Stalingrad they didnt cope but instead he did the Sportspalast rede, aka "Wollt Ihr den totalen Krieg?"). He'd only lie about his opponents, by accusing them of things that can neither be verified easily or somehow fire back at him. To lie in such a situation was to create a more optimal playing field for himself.
> Was he completely totalitarian?
read Ellul. this is a silly question. He had Hitler at the highest position, seeing him as the Messiah, but the swings from totalitarianims to more democracy and back occured all in those 12 years already.
>Or do we have a twisted understanding of what they meant by propaganda?
Of course. Most People have a wrong understanding of what Propaganda is. Most are so naive and think they can identify it and then know to avoid it. Some morons even think Propaganda only lies. kek

Goebbels diaries are too long, about too much random stuff and most of it is written in this horrible 2 word sentence style. He is the greatest orator since Cicero though which makes it such a shame it is tabu to study him.

Read pic related. It’s an excerpt from a document outlining the philosophy of the General Education Board created by Rockefeller. You can tell that the basic idea here is to not provide the lower and middle class an education equal to that of the upper class (which was feasible), but rather to optimize people to be better workers in the jobs they were born into as determined by their socioeconomic status. I suggest reading the Wikipedia page https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Education_Board to get a sense for how this organization worked. And it was only the first of it’s kind, similar organizations spawned after it.

I’d also add that this stance towards education is deeply un-American. Prior to the implementation of these ideas, America was the most literate country in history, an example for the rest of the world. We’ve fallen very far since then.

When it comes to the tired boogeyman of the Frankfurt school there is some validity. Marcuse, the “intellectual superstar” worked in the OSS psychological warfare division and his work is definitely a psyop to weaken the American public. But Marcuse’s evil doesn’t come from the fact of his Jewishness. He’s a bad guy because he applied his great intelligence to making propaganda in reward for a lavish lifestyle offered by the cia. And the cia then were a bunch of wasps like Rockefeller! Not Jews!

I was suicidal and attempted suicide, I spent 2 months in a hospital with a broken femur (that will affect me to the end of my life, but I can thankfully walk). But after that I sort of decided that I will not try it again. I decided to live. Before, I haven't really decided whether I want to live or not, and I was thinking about it a lot and did it on impulse. But if you actually come to a realisation that you want to kill yourself or want to live, it's easier. After that situation I kinda gained control over my life. I do whatever I desire at the moment and not what is appropriate "socially". So if I decide to sleep all day and it makes me feel good, it keeps me from suicide and makes me happy, so I'm going to be doing it if I want to. Before I was afraid of judgement, but now I don't care anymore. I feel happy, I remembered what life is. Now when I watch animals like cats or dogs, they're just pure animal cheerfulness that we used to have as kids too, but so many people lost

I guess we have to define what "wasting time" is in this scenario. If you've been working unfulfilling dead-end jobs, merely having an employment history would drastically change their outlook on you, and you could easily contrive some sympathetic and digestible excuse like "oh I worked to support my sick mother and disabled brother etc. etc.". But if you're a NEET from 18 to 30, and decide to go to university? A glaring and indelible red flag would be on your resume, even if you truly did turn yourself around and were a stellar student, and by sheer number of applicants to every remotely tolerable or lucrative position, they could easily discard your application in favor of someone who followed the traditional route.

What you described basically. Things getting harder and harder until I crack, which is where I’m basically at right now. I’ve already resolved to die a relatively early death if I’m a single man for sure. You know, people tend to think of depressed or suicidal people as either this acute or static thing. It’s as if they think that someone who is depressed has only ever been depressed for a year and the baseline depression is the same for that whole year. It’s been 13 years since I sat in my mom’s kitchen and burst into tears when I told her I don’t feel right. I was 14. It gives me hope to think that there are people who get better, who turn things around. I mean, I’m sure there are. At least on paper. But for me, I’d be lying if I said anything other than “every year has been just a little bit harder than the last”.

It might be cynicism or plain inexperience on my part, but I don't believe the same applies to "directionless man who spent a decade in social isolation watching moe anime and playing MMOs". Especially taking into account the usual disposition of someone like that, which would be reserved and awkward, whereas a druggie homeless schizophrenic could be seen as affable.

Feels sad reading some of the anons here talking about this. The truth, cliched as it is, is that you kind of have to accept things. It took me a long time to accept that friends weren't my friends and people can't really be your friends in the cartoon way you get told about as a kid. No one can really care about anyone else that way. Once you do accept it, it starts getting less painful. You have to drive your life yourself. Most of you are autists. You have the ability to obsess about things nobody else does. Find something you like doing that is valuable and other people find boring. Start your own business. It gives you control. If you are passionate about something boring to everyone else you will beat the shit out of them at it. It's good to find a partner to do this. Men only really connect to each other by hunting together. Most of you need to reread that sentence because it's one of the most important things I've realized about modern loneliness. Find your boring passion, find someone else who cares about it too, and go hunt. Make sure it's someone you can trust not to fuck you over. Once you have a purpose, a hunting party, and you are in control, all the malaise seems to fade away.

Is tracing the path of an evil group of people who are often kicked out of host lands and correlating that with the very same sort of activity this evil group of people is engaged in today, right this minute, that much of a stretch? Jewish publications will brag of the same behavior that they scold outsiders for mentioning.

To get the truth you need to learn history on its own terms. Don’t turn to history solely to find justification for your anti-semitism, go into it with enough modesty to admit that your understanding of a past period is likely wrong.
>>17809891
Every abrahamic religion wants to “take over the world” and Christianity has been way more successful than Judaism. It doesn’t mean shit that you can reference some esoteric line in the Torah you think is talking about global enslavement under Jews. What matters is that group’s actions and there’s thin evidence for Jews trying to enslave the world.

I’ll tell you the truth about anti-semitism. It exists to make you look like a fool. Your someone who wants to know who really runs things. The people who do run things have several different rabbit holes they set up where they manage dissident opinions. I’ve had these same arguments with people who believe in the Illuminati and qtards who believe in a pedo cabal. They’re absurdist narratives made to make you look like a schizoid bigot in the eyes of the public. I’ve read the same /pol/ infographics as you and I also believed the Jews controlled things but upon true investigation (reading one history book (culture of critique) is not true investigation) I found the theory just doesn’t hold up, the truth is far more complicated than one universal scapegoat. That probably won’t change you mind but there it is regardless.

To everyone who is miserable in this thread, I want to say: I love you.

I love every single Anon on 4chan. I have been on this website for more than a decade. You have all, wittingly or unwittingly, shaped the positive time I have had on this site. You and countless Anons who have come before you.

I have grown to love you all, and cherish that you are in the world. Every single one of you, even the shitposters, is precious to me. You have all become more precious, especially since the rest of the internet has reached such a sorry state and 4chan is basically isolated.

So know that I love you all, and that I cherish that you are in the world. The world is a better place because you are in it. Don't be too quick to leave it, because the world would be a sadder, sorrier world if you weren't in it. I legitimately think that.

All of you, know that someone out there loves you. Know that someone out there really, truly loves you, and cherishes your existence.

Even if it's just some random Anon.

I see. Many people have such fantasy and a few realise it (I'm not talking about suicide, but an actual escape)
I feel like you often, but imo suicide is not the answer. Many people say "if we're going to die anyway, then it doesn't matter if I die now or in 50 years". But my viewpoint is the opposite. If you're going to die anyway, why hasten it? The life is both sad and happy, but if I'm here anyway for a short period, let me have my fill before I come back to the emotionless void. If nothing matters, then you can just chill out and take your time and admire nature.
I found that good sleep fills my need for an "escape" somehow. If I don't sleep enough I'm much more unhappy.
If you aren't sure if you want to commit suicide or not yet, don't do it. I know it's tiresome, but in everyone there is some spark that makes them value life. But some people forgot about it and just kinda live on in limbo

If 4chan ever went down I would probably seriously consider suicide. This is the only place where I can sometimes feel a genuine connection, even if I don't necessarily post, it comforts me to know that there are other people as hopeless as I am. Considering I've been on this website daily since I was 13 and am now in my mid twenties, I can't help but wonder to what extent it has influenced me, especially since I used to regularly browse boards like /r9k/. But had I not discovered 4chan, I doubt my life would be much better, I'd probably just feel even more isolated and would've found another coping mechanism.

I think I would've picked up more productive hobbies if not for this place, but other than that, the damage 4chan has done to me has been minimal. I was already destined for the path I'm on. I've been an outcast all throughout my life, even before 4chan.

Though I agree with one thing: I would argue that us being here has been more damaging to the general society we belong to. *chan culture is the singular point where malcontents intersect. It's where their ideas gain a small foothold in the mainstream consciousness. Often, if not always, those ideas run counter to what is accepted. The rest of the internet tends toward homogenization -- has been tending, but 4chan still resists. Because of that, I'm sure the feds are everywhere.

I have sleep problems so there’s that but as for the rest, I guess I don’t really feel that life is both sad and happy. For me, it’s felt sadder and sadder or else just kind of baseline nothing. How I die is something that’s been on my mind pretty much everyday since I was about 21/22. I’m just at the point now where I’m getting pretty tired of it all. I’ve felt two big shifts honestly. The first was when I stopped viewing the hour glass of my life as something which I wanted the grains to stop falling and started wanting them to fall faster. The second was when that desire wasn’t driven by something so emotional. It became something platonic, something like stepping away from a game once you’ve feel like you’ve had too much and it’s time to go to bed. But to respond to your basic point, I suppose I am not sure yet and so I’ll hold off. I just haven’t found that reason to think exactly like you do yet.

I've been calling for help maybe hundreds of times over the years on this site and I have never found anything beyond platitudes, go see a therapist, "I totally feel this way too", I always tried to actually meet people and build something but it always ever ended at the vent stage. I don't even try anymore. Then when you finally make a post like this where you want to kill yourself you get virtual pats on the back and "oh poor anon I hope he didn't do it", all that simply because you did something that grabs attention. If you act a little bit more quietly then nobody cares. This is all just everyone screaming ME ME ME and you have to do that yourself or you drown, because everyone is so painfully non-committal today, I hate it so much. It used to be that you could actually talk to people and get in touch, feel really connected, now this is all gone, it's all just another form of entertainment that people consume, interactive entertainment. Let's see what happens if I tell the anon not to kill himself. Reddit really understood this. You get points for good feefees. Like a videogame.

I wrote about this phenomenon a while back. You summarized it well. It's idiotic that people that "mental health" campaigns and "speaking about your feelings" are enough when everyone is a self-absorbed escapist, or simply doesn't care about you to begin with (at best, they feign caring about you just because it's now socially required to pretend you care about someone who has had enough of this shallow life).

I've personally never even tried to grab attention in the ways you mentioned because I know exactly what will happen in advance. It's all just trash platitudes. The only option is either self-annihilation or a desperate struggle to cement your individuality through solitude and self-recognition. This is the desert that Nietzsche spoke about.

Misery is always presupposed, it's a matter of coming to terms with it (or else, as I said, self-annihilation). By solitude I don't mean that literally either, but the ability to be happy by oneself is a good indicator of it. You can still attempt to form relationships with other people, but you should never expect more than you're already used to as you noted in your post, and as such you don't feel depleted when many or all of them turn out to be hollow.

I've lamented many times about the nature of internet communities, and I've explained about the things I am disenfranchised about, the consumer mindset I detest, the constant post-modern irony and empty aping to express that you're up to date, the doublethink of open people attacking others for any differences. I've tried many times to express this, although I feel like I can't express this completely, and I've always had people say "yes! I feel like this too, I would like it if things were like this" so I assume the other person also shares my mindset, and I try to reach out, I say let's share a contact out of this imageboard, let's try to form a community, let's get in touch. Then nothing comes back or the rare times someone did reach back, I found someone who only thinks he's disenfranchised but really just wants the modern internet with all its flaws. They do the same things but think that switching platform or being on the other side of politics makes them different.

I don't care that much when it's about my suicide shit, but it feels awful when it's about something I am enthusiastic about. I don't want to relate to others on the basis of my negativity but I find this barren landscape when it comes to things that made me love the internet, things I love in general. It's all just disposable trash now, people treat everything, people included as disposable. It makes sense because there are way too many people online and one is wired to pick the better deal and flashier things always, but I hate feeling like I'm not in a social context but something like a supermarket instead.

As an example I know for a fact that if I tried to start something like a collaborative writing project with people in this community, I would find zero participation. If I made a political bait thread it would reach bump limit. I know this in advance. It doesn't matter how much enthusiasm the former would display, or I kickstarted it with good writing I'm proud of, there are no chances it would get anywhere. And yet there are more people on this site than ever. I know that it in 2013 something would've come out of it.
I've ran projects on the internet where I received zero feedback or anything for months, then I decided to quit and I found someone lamenting that I'd quit. Why didn't you say anything?

Life has ways to make itself interesting without your intervention. I mean, I don't know about you, but for me I feel different kinds of "smells" or "vibes" every few months, and sometimes I can smell some old feeling (like autumn) that brings some nostalgia, like you remember a book or a music album you read when you felt this smell. There are also smells that I never noticed and associated with anything yet, but I constantly build up on it and add new memories to them. Sometimes I notice it in real life and sometimes years later when I smell it again. I don't know if other people are the same, but for me, just the experience of senses that change on their own depending on seemingly random factors is the essence of life and what makes me subtly excited.
Anyway, once you make a decision it's easier, because you don't think about it anymore. You're either dead or just accepted to die by a cause other than suicide, and you kinda made peace with death. I mean I think about death a lot and how I will die and how I will react if someone close to me dies, etc. and if someone suddenly stabbed me on the street I would probably be kind of happy dying (except for the pain and possible bad afterlife). But I won't do it myself, because it's just interesting to be alive. Really weird state to be in

The "alternative" is dropping this consumer mindset where you expect to be served a "better community" on a silver platter while being non-committal about it yourself. This isn't just your fault individually but a collective thing that sadly will never go away. This is what I complain about when I say >>17811268 >>17811299, you will never find a better community if everyone just moves the same framework, same nihilistic meme irony, same lack of curiosity, same indolence unless someone does something outrageous for attention, same attitude somewhere smaller. This is why alt chans are all dead or garbage, they're just 4chan but smaller. People act like the platform is the community, "Discord? Eugh, IRC is way better" people on IRC are the same as Discord. IRC channels are literally bridged with Discord through bots. People on IRC act and talk exactly the same way as Discord users where the technology doesn't limit them. It's like people refuse to see that the issue is being bathed 24/7 is a constant stream of information that ends up permeating everything they say and do online. Every channel feels like the same channel. As the internet get more crowded it also shrinks in diversity like a hive and it's slowly getting to the point where you either like the buzz or learn to like it or have nowhere else to go.

Nothing excitable really happens. Of course, I can enjoy the smell of an ocean breeze or sunset on an autumn day or something but these in and of themselves aren’t exactly a reason to live. No vibe really changes things. It’s not like I’ve resolved to kill myself, at least, not yet. Still, I’m just so desperate to escape this limbo. This feeling like I am stuck between an ideal life worth living and an aimless, meaningless life and death is just awful. If I felt like the life that I think is worth living was actually achievable for me, I might feel differently but I don’t think it is so I don’t and I just want to step away.

I know what you mean and to me it sounds like depression. I felt similarly, the world was bleak and uninteresting and plain and predictable and there was nothing I could do about it. But it went away. The two things that I think could change it somehow were my suicide attempt and lots of thinking in the hospital, or LSD use short time afterwards. Since then the world regained colour. I honestly don't know how it did, whether it was a change in mentality or a change in chemistry or maybe it just went away by itself, but it did regain colour.
Nothing exciting happens, because life is not a video game where you have pre-written quests and lots of stuff to do. You have to learn (or recall as I like to think) to be alone with yourself. But I'm sure you know that, but it's just impossible to execute or it just doesn't make a difference or whatever. I know that feel and I don't know what changes it, but I know that you can get out of it, because I did. Maybe this bleak anhedonia will return, but for now it's mostly absent and so I'm glad. If it returns I don't really have a solution against it, I just know that it potentially ends. And I think that you're in that state right now, haunted by depression. I don't know if it's curable, I think it's very individual.

very few internet timewasters end up on 4chan.. even fewer end up on one of the interest boards like /lit/ or /co/. of those, there are only a fraction that actually post at all.. and of those that post, fewer post regularly...

Well, I’m glad you’ve managed to find some relief. I think for each of us, it’s become a highly personal challenge. What works for someone to scratch the itch, may not necessarily work for someone else as much as we want that to be the case. Some people might never even feel the itch in the first place. For me, the most difficult part is this feeling of just wanting to step away, collect myself, figure things out, and not being able to do that and also struggling to reconcile where I’ve been with where I think I might want to go. I can’t help but feel like I’m stuck in some existential limbo, which if it were to continue indefinitely as I fear it might, that might be the worst possible outcome. It’s hard when you find your life and yourself to be unbearable and you don’t feel like you can fix it.

We should certainly have compassion for anyone going through a traumatic time in their lives, who feels the only way out is to commit suicide. That being said, the responsibility ends with the person considering ending their own life. We can reach out and help, as I have seen many well-meaning anons do. But these people are going above and beyond the call of duty. It's also well understood that shitposting culture is very commonplace here, and someone in that delicate a frame of mind should consider posting their problems elsewhere, as people here are more likely to exacerbate existing distress than to help. Maybe /lit/ is the exception, I don't know.

It’s true. I’m one of the people who come here to talk about my suicidal ideation. I don’t know why I do it. Sometimes I just want to get it off my chest and hear myself think. Sometimes I actually expect someone to respond to me with something that will change my life. It never happens. Ultimately, I realize the decision rests with me and only me and that no one can offer me even clarity on my condition.

I'm definitely one of those people. I don't know how proportionate my own suffering is to that of people who attempt to end their own lives, but I've definitely gone for enough walks that I didn't intend to return from to say that I'm one of those people. I think it's a sad thing that someone carries around so much pain for so long, but whether or not things can get better depends on a very wide range of conditions. What does the person consider to be fulfilling in their own life? What is an issue that is keeping them in a state of emotional turmoil? Can that issue be fixed or accepted in some way?

What I would say is that saying that things will just get better is banal and often unhelpful. It's a nice talking point but unless there's substance behind it, it won't do the sufferer any good. I also think it's wrong to say that we're all doomed to suffer constant depression and low moods to the point where there's no option other than ending it all. That's just as banal as saying things will just improve by themselves.

The worst was re-reading old entries from my journal. I was facing the same issues and no matter how much I matured, thought about them and how many perspectives I tried I'm just stuck. They're unsolvable. All that keeps me going is a few responsibilities but that's it.

Perhaps something to think about is how far you've come in spite of those feelings. You're still here. And if as you've said you've matured, you're doing better than a lot of people I know. If you're talking about writing success, most of us get rejection after rejection. I posted 35 stories and poems before a single one was accepted, and even then it was just lucky I appealed to the market of the publication. Sometimes the writing world is disappointingly superficial, but it is what it is.

Not to assume that that's certainly your issue, of course. It could be something entirely different, but writing rejections are definitely a sore point on this board, for completely understandable reasons.

Dunno if it always gets better. Since getting a mental illness it's like the rules of life I grew up learning were scrapped, and everyone else kept playing by the old rules while I have to pretend I'm the same as them. It's like what Terry (the temple OS guy) said about his parrot, it has no clue what's happening around him and his whole life is confusion, but he keeps going because there's nothing else to do. You live your life analogously to a healthy man and hope you don't stand out. And you never try to explain it to people because they'll never understand.

That's why I can't condemn suicide. To Cicero, suicide is permissible when the part of man that allows him to live in accordance with nature is gone. And that's what I think mental illness is. There's nothing redeeming about schizophrenia - it just ruins your life, the same as cancer or another disease. If you try all the options and it's still not enough, no one could be blamed for committing suicide in this scenario. It's not really ending a life when their actual life ended years ago.

The modern world is so rootless that frankly the reason why tons of people aren’t committing suicide is because they’ve been brainwashed into thinking that everything is fine. Here’s a big one - our ancestors had friends that they would know for most of their lives. Nowadays people constantly move to other cities, cutting ties with their friends without the slightest concern. When I moved to the US from the 3rd world I found it pretty shocking that there was such little value for friendship (for this reason and many others I moved back to my friendly shithole country)
