"Nihilism light"

[popeluvicasksc]

You're absolutely right. Trying to shake off the monotony of rhetorical dialogue, obligatory sentiments and micro-transactions in pseudo-emotional investment in order to rekindle some sort of real connection, personal involvement and productive existence outside the social boundaries that we've been brainwashed to believe are normalcy sounds like just what this world needs

Holy fuck, this scans exactly the same as one of LMNO's corporate jargon riffs. Congratulations. You've elevated pseudo-intellectual wankery to an artform 

Hey Thanks!
Now that I see how things operate around here I figure I'd better start blending in by puffing up my ego and acting affronted by everything anyone else has the audacity to post. If only I could get my head a little further up my ass I could actually start to believe that anyone gives a fuck about what is posted on this obscure and dying, probably due to the shitty holier than thou attitudes that seem to prevail, forum. Your opinion means the world to me, choke on it.

Clearly the obvious answer is to continue posting at a forum you loathe.

Hey, like I said, apologies for the rocky entrance.

Obviously, if you go to a party where you don't know anyone, the first thing you should do is point and laugh, and the second thing you should do is escalate the hostility with anyone who calls you on it.

Also make sure to act as if everyone at the party is represented by the one or two people who tell you to fuck off. Almost everybody appreciates being treated like a homogenous mass of You People, know what I mean?

Works for making friends and impressing people every time!

Pic looks like him, but I know Daruko IRL, and he's too fucking smart to do the same shit he did a few years back.  He's a biped, and can learn from past experience.

So, no.

Diet Nihillism is a terrifying concept.

Realizing that the world does not revolve around yourselves, and that pretending it does eventually will break your necks. It involves not giving a few less fucks about the dominant ideologies of POSITIVITY and HEALTHINESS and NORMALITY, and instead just having a good time and being a decent human being. (This is very much a reminder to myself.)

This seems like the take away from your post. I don't think this is much like nihilism but rather a stoic mindset. Stoicism and Nihilism can coexist is a moral and metaphysical way respectively. However, there seems to be no hint as to a nihilistic mindset in this rant. In fact...

All even remotely successful empires and states in human history have had to rely on some sort of ideology to legitimize itself...

Politics is just administration and theatre. Nevermind the possibility that "the market" is not a metaphysical being, some sort of deity demanding regular sacrifices to save us from oblivion. Nevermind the possibility that what is really happening is that the decision-making process is being moved somewhere less accessible for us mere mortals...

I think this hints at a sort of displeasure with others moral ideals which to me seems a little counter intuitive for a nihilistic takeaway. However, I like to points you are making here.

I think the deity you are talking about is the morality of money. When what is RIGHT is money and your god is capitalism one can still feel morally justified using any means to make money. This, I believe, is how we have so many environmental and human rights catastrophes without widespread cognitive dissonance. Everything horrible these people have done was done in the name of their god so how can it be morally wrong.

Thanks for the post.
