I don't know how, if you're a man living in the western world, can say the state is doing good by you, no matter which end of the political spectrum you're. A state that has done nothing for the past decades but diminish your freedom while slowly stripping away your responsibilities and duties,replacing them with a cold, faceless version of them that is supposed to suit the mass need of women. They have taken away all previous meaning from you and replaced with pointless drudgery, the most useful form you can confine yourself to as a man, in the eyes of both the state and women, is that of an obsequious, desexed dung bettle who's only purpose is to pay taxes and impregnate a woman once or twice. If you wish to protect your land you're labeled a terorist, if you wish to protect your family and wife you're branded maladjusted and pushed aside so the state can issue a bunch of people who have no real stakes in your life or that of your family to 'take care of things'. I don't even understand how wemon can see men is anything more than just a sperm bank for when they want a kid and someone who gets handle her financial needs, whether he's actually in her life or not. What are you even supposed to do? Women and your family have no real need for you as they're more than willing to gamble with which ever group powers the state currently, and you're not even allowed to break away from society as paying taxes is still the number one thing the state looks for. You just go and die in foreign war or something, i dont understand??

I've had anhedonia for 10 years. Honestly, yes, it invalidates pessimism: His world view is a post-hoc justification for his experience. But to healthy people, his world view is innane, it doesn't apply to them, just as wisdom for the healthy doesn't apply to him. Sickness distorts human nature; the foundation of happiness is good health. After my life went to hell, I went to Schopenhauer, read Houellebecq and many other pessimists. There's nothing deep in it. If my life hadn't turned out this way, I wouldn't have gone down this path. Truly healthy people don't engage with this stuff: Life and happiness are self-justifying. Pessimism is debunked by the happy.

I could write about how awful the anhedonia is, but probably no one cares
