@amerika @xianc78 some of the things u both post just... baffles me
mein gott

i do consider myself more of a political nihilist.
Nietzsche was a passive nihilist but he didnt like advocate for voluntary human extinction, and i do admire his work on the Great Health.

then there's amerika going on about how evil individualism is, when really the sacred socialists despise individualists, third positionists too... also the sacred corporate capitalists, in a way, reject individualism and prefer narcissism over it.

@cee @xianc78

Narcissism is a form of individualism. The egalitarians are all individualists.

Nietzsche would have hated VHEMT. He wanted people to live bravely for something more than the bourgeois ideologies.

Politics is the art of manipulating people, so there is a good reason to see it for what it is.

@amerika @xianc78 yes however narcissism isnt exclusively individualistic, but can be collective as well, like that in sports and chauvinism/jingoism.

Marxists hate individualists- Marx said so himself, he would much rather work with the petit bourgeoisie than the lumpens so

@cee @xianc78

He was deflecting. He wanted to harness individualism through appeal of presumed moral superiority.

Also the first couple of chapters of Stirner's book also holds similarities to Emerson's Self-Reliance, even though the 2 havent heard of each other.

@cee

Emerson was the path from Kant to Schopenhauer, a form of idealism closer to New Thought today. Wallace D. Wattles and Marguerite Iwersen probably come closest.
