Unhealthy society's create unhealthy individuals

>only reading and other distractions keep my head from circling around the question of how and when I'm going to end it.

I'm curious here - are you a native Brit? I liked GomL a lot but I think it might have been my least favorite of Fisher's books, but I'm from the states and was born in the late 80s, missing out on a lot of the music and scenic/cultural association that it feels like the book kinda' leans on.

Capitalist Realism isn't necessarily required reading for Fisher's other books, but reading it will really help crystallize some of the ideas that he's poking at and drawing from in his other works.

Besides, CR is like a 90 page book - I think most people read it in one or two sittings. It's worth the time.

IMO Ghosts of My Life was his weakest book, but I'm not a Brit and I didn't have the nostalgia for the music he draws from in that book (I did end up listening to a lot of it as I went along, which was kinda' fun in its own right) but yeah, The Weird and the Eerie was really good - would recommend.

Jesus Christ, is there no solution?

Desire less.

How do we solve capitalism?

Ok.

It seems that the largest framework of dialectical conflict that emerges in the modern fringe political/ideological circles is the one of accelerating technocapital and deterritorialized Luciferan transhumanism versus counter-capitalist eudaimonic decceleration based in redemption, and often characterized by a return to pro-nature/ecological state of being (often anti-futuristic, but not necessarily) and creation of an associated Platonic-Helegian complex (be it Vedic neopaganism, Christian Distributism, or even some form of Venus project ecotopia).

Basically technoacc gang vs. eco-nazbol gang.

I propose we form reading list recommendations for two opposing approaches to the future, weight pros and cons of the two and analyze the trajectories.
