are they right? (Saihate no Ima)
also what books does romeo recommend on his blog? link?

>It's just doomer shit about how muh human nature is against us. I am pretty cynical myself but romeo's cynical arguments come off as really misinformed. It's okay if you're a misanthrope but stop using wrong historical evidence to back up your misanthropy(he changed some of his views here in jintai) . Romeo starts from human nature and works out from there up stream to talk about other larger social stuff. This is problematic on many levels, and not even gonna mention how his version of human nature is hobbesian and he uses Jordon Peterson's lobster tier arguments to showcase this too.
Read about the kind of books he recommends in his blog and you'll notice he is pretty dimwit tier in this regard. Imagine unironically recommending books like sapiens and guns, germs and steel and some other pinker's shit in 20 fucking 19

>Remember how in 90s people were excited about the internet and fall of soviet russia, but they were also depressed about 90s economic crashes . How the advancements in telecommunications industry was annihilating distances between humans and people were excited to predict what this would implies for the transfer of ideas, culture and most importantly global capital. How the fall of soviet russia for some reason signaled the rise of neoliberalism, radical individualism, the cruel rhetoric of personal responsibility, and extreme anxiety towards uncertain future in such a neoliberal hellscape. Political pundits were claiming we solved socioeconomic problems, that the future will be about solving culture issues and dealing with identity politics in a liberal democracy. How the technological and scientific advancements drastically slowed its pace because public funding got cut off. You know, how liberalism views humans as homo economicus. Remember how hobbes attached the concept of communal solidarity and claimed humans are wretched creatures who always want to fight each other, and how we cannot be trusted to each other, and we need to give up a portion of our liberties and accept the absolute power of the KING. What I mean to say is saihate no ima is a kusoge where romeo rambles about this without any proper story or characters(he basically agrees with most of this bullshit but rejects hobbesian solution).
