Camus is becoming an Instagram quotable for pretentious normies. This is not ok

camus is for pretentious normies tho
Camus was a pretentious normie.
He was an incredible artist, but his philosophy was middle school tier.
>caring what random signals the proles unconsciously reflect and amplify
they teach camus in high school lmao
if you post on reddit that you are having an existential crisis, the first thing they will recommend is the myth of sisyphus

A normie author would be someone you could see a normie reading. It depends how you define normies but for me it was the kids in school who never read, questioned, or were in advanced classes. Things like the meme trilogy would be anti-normie because it is beyond their level. Ja feel? Camus is very easy to get into and doesn't get way abstract so Wittgenstein and Hegel would be some non normie examples

so what
normiefag can open a camus book and appreciate&understand it straight off the bat
wittgenstein will fuck him in the ass
daily reminder if u don't blend in with the normies you're fucked

At least we've got dank memes.

No normie will ever understand Nietzsche.
>>7710805
But they'll think they do and quote him endlessly.
>>7710810
out quote them

I hope I can balance out having some relative level of interest in arts while still being socially friendly and welcoming. That last step is so fucking hard to cross though.

>the introspective thoughts of a failed normie who thinks being a runty sheep means he's not a sheep
Truly, /r9k/ posters are the worst
>>7710836
>>7710813
but they misunderstand whatever you quote at them
>>7710810
I don't believe that makes him a normie author.
A normie can listen to Meditations, doesn't mean they'll get it.
That feel you think you are better than sheep but you are a maladapted evoloutinary dead-end sheep
