Reading Schopenhauer and assorted pessimists leads to someone or something merely being alive being sufficient reason for empathy towards them tbh.

Open yourself up to the suffering of the world.

What he affirms is the notion that we are all fucked and that this idea should make us feel empathetic towards other.

If you were a true Schopenhauerian you would be helping people minimise their suffering and living an ascetic life instead of whining about normies and how you are especially fucked.

This. When Nietzsche embraced the horse it was a recognition of Schopenhauer being right.

Life is shit and compassion is the only answer.

Schopenhauer was the champion of compassion, to the point that he was one of the first philosophers making a case for animal rights and was even considerate regarding homosexuals, something that hadn't been encountered since the ancients.

His ethical ideal was basically a saint without the religious element. Realising the suffering inherent to life and the human condition especially, he pleaded for the recognition of that suffering in each others as something that we share, and compassion as a result of that.

I guess we're pretty much doomed, but that doesn't mean I have to dislike them for it. It's not like they can help who they are.

Pessimism helps people though. Indignation is usually a result of a lack of pessimism. Hatred too.

Just because I think they're cunts doesn't mean I have to hate them for it. It's not like they can help being cunts.

Because he misread/misunderstood and therefore is under the impression that Schopenhauer's philosophy is inconsistent where it in fact isn't, fellow sufferer.
