Are there people that actually believe this image is real and that the quote isn't fabricated?
>>27356974
>tfw I actually googled to see if it's real
how do I blame this on drugs?
barry didn't come back alive btw
>>27356995
your mom took drugs while she was pregnant with you and now you're retarded
there
>>27356919
Why would an actual nihilist go through the effort of making a thread about it? It's pretty pointless desu
>>27356919
First of all, I'm coming up on an acid trip and reading that sent shivers up and down my spine, secondly I'd probably open the door, imagine if you were him on the otherside and a fake thing of you got inside and locked you out... Classic horror scenario

Nihilism is for edgelords
>>27356919
If you're a part of the Anglo-Sphere, you can at best, be a cheerful-nihilist, if Western civilization passes the rubicon of no return (which Germany has, demographically speaking) you can give up on it and say fuck it, but I say damn you and damn those destroying it (I'm of course referring to Zionists, globalist CEOs and the Moslems pouring into our countries) there will be a tipping point where a civil war breaks out, 10 to 20 years at most

Nihilism is just a fancy word to say you're a lazy shit. I used to comfort myself with skepticism but it was only a matter of time until I realized I'm actually a weak bitch who has no interest in anything at all.
Most people don't actually understand nihilism and think it is just a bunch of depressed edgelords. In reality it is an ideology about creating ones own morality and setting ones own goals after realizing that everything is subjective and meaningless. Basically it says do whatever the fuck you want because nothing matters anyway.

>>27357181
Nihilism means you believe that life has no inherent value, purpose, meaning.
It means that you believe that you have to make your own purpose in life, not that you don't enjoy life.
>>27357274
Now youre doing it again. Theres nothing wrong with nihilism, its just that you are a faggot.
Stop associating with nihilism, idiot.
>>27357312
>Stop associating with nihilism
I won't, fight me you little shite
>>27357307
ok that sounds reasonable, we're nothing more than naked-apes with a big brain
>>27357305
See when I read stuff like that all that I read is "depressed edgelord"
>>27357350
Is that because you might be projecting?
>>27357364
I wouldn't be surprised but I'm not bitter or anything as far as I know
>>27357305
>creating ones own morality
nigger no it's the Nietzschean ubermensh who creates his own values, nihilism doesn't go anywhere go read that shit again.
>>27356919
These testimonials make me feel like space isn't real...
Not this one in particular, obviously.
>>27356919
Wow i just looked it up and i cant believe its real. It does put my life into perspective. I thought i was scared of spiders but ill take the spiders any day over a completely altered reality. I am never going into space. Id rather shoot myself.
>>27357307
>It means that you believe that you have to make your own purpose in life
That's existentialism, friend. A nihilist would see that as a paradox, there is no inherent purpose, but you, a being without inherent purpose or meaning, is trying to create a purpose which has no inherent purpose.
It's an endless loop, better not to play such a pointless game.

Same. IQ 132 here, you?
>>27356919
Anyone else feel like they're disappointing Stirner by failing to take advantage of anything?
>>27357600
>132
Kek.I've never taken an IQ test in my life.
Sometimes I wonder if religion was created by individuals who thousands of years ago realized life is meaningless, in order to protect future generations from the existential despair they felt.
Spoilers for Shin Megami Tensei IV, if anyone here's playing that game. This is pretty relevant.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSJWFJIeyc4tl;dw the main character gets convinced by manifestations of humanity's despair that the only way to end the endless conflict between angels and demons is to destroy the whole world.

>Complaining about DEEP in the nihilism thread
Why so upset?
>>27357723
albert camus' work is so incomplete it isn't even funny
>>27357714
You're wrong. Religions have theology, cults don't.
>>27357740
Because nihilism isn't SO DEEP. Because people who post SO DEEP shit are the equivalent of people posting about that bullshit diet regimen they won't stick to and the exercise they're not going to do.
If you want to be deep, read a fucking book. A good one. Then read some more, and talk to people about them as you do so. If you don't want to do that, you don't actually want to be deep.
>>27357772
To be fair the original post didn't mention anything about being deep. You are just triggered.
>>27357772
You sound like you're just projecting things that have annoyed you in the past on to unrelated posts, I just posted a thought I had, I wasn't thinking about how DEEP it was or anything like that.
>>27357794
I wasn't talking about the original post, I was talking about >>27357630.
What gave away the triggering? Was it the fact that I ranted about how the post was shit?
>>27357825
That's what I meant by original post I should have said first post instead I guess.
>>27357772
Theology is in fault not religion. Theology is a science that may justly be compared to theBox of Pandora. Many good things lie uppermost in it; but many evil lie under them, and scatter plagues and desolation throughout the world.

i don't understand why Camus is even talked about
One must imagine sisyphus happy... why? He comes to a complete non-conclusion.
>>27358068
because the logical thing to do when realizing you live in an absurd world is to kill yourself according to him, by refusing to end it while being fully aware of the absurdity of life is considered as an act of revolt and freedom.
>>27358104
Not true. There are two things you can do when you realize there is no purpose in life. You can either kill yourself, or you can accept that there is no purpose or value to anything in life, so you might aswell go ahead and enjoy yourself while youre here. But the thing with the latter is that the enjoyment of getting married is on par with doing crack cocaine for example. There is no good or bad, just that chemical reaction in your brain that makes you feel good.
>>27358104
but what value do things like revolt or freedom have in a meaningless world? why is that considered valuable? camus is just a shitter

That's the second worst ending
>>27358465
What's the single worst ending, in your opinion?
>>27358515
Law, the only upside is that shitty "character" slits her throat. Might be better if she had more development.

You can never have a conversation about nihilism without a pseudo intellectual like you showing up. You probably thought you get away with it too, sitting there, pretending you actually know what you're talking about. All it takes is to look at the fucking wikipedia page on nihilism to see that it's a word that can take on a number of meanings, and that other guy's description is pretty spot on.
Frankly, the idea that there is meaning to life and simply not fulfilling it is just as terrifying as there being no meaning at all.
Pic related, just finished episode two and I'm in a shitty mood now. I think I'll just drop it.
