But there is no other way besides asceticism, which is just another way to undo social programming and return to monke.
Dualism quite obviously stems from language and it’s vehicle of symbols.
Without symbols there just is what is.

Everything you said so far is arbitrary nonsense. Why should i defend the weak instead of submitting them to my will or leaving them to die/suffer? Your ethics are based on nothing but personal preference. The fascists knew this. Everything is about power. Humanism pervades everything in western culture because it has the power to do so. There is nothing objective about it. No superior morality brought to us by the age of reason, just a mystified dogmatism that is the expression of the will-to-power of our elites.

The industrial revolution was caused by ______. Study the history. It was humanoid aliens. The entire thing is a plot to force humanity into a gordian knot so it cannot resist whatever the next stage of their plan is, for which they clearly need human support which is why they didn't just built 30 nukes in the 1700s and glass the major cities. This also means that there is active human resistance because for the past 50 years all technological progress has halted and the global consortium of chip fabricators are agreeing to planned obsolescence and the 21st century will simply be the 20th century but with solar energy and batteries. Presumably the aliens look like humans but don't pass a thorough medical investigation which is why we are seeing vaccines and global ID and biometric/dna tracking pushed so hard. Imagine the damage a person from the 3000s could cause to our society in the 2000s. The integration now is global and much faster than the 1000s, where even with a time machine and supplies you'd probably die and your advanced equipment melted down to make swords and coins. Read about the industrial revolution closely and sincerely. It's filled with hollow people with forged identities making implausible technological breakthroughs in obscure circumstances and contrived scenarios.

Liberalism and marxism are both secularized protestant dogma. The opposition between liberals and marxists is not one based around excludent desired ends but around the avaible means.
Only principled anti-humanism could ever hope to win against them in the long run.

(Read "The Leap" by Bill Hopkins)

>It's kind of rolling country, not flat, and when you get to the edge of it you find these ravines that cut very steeply in to cliff-like drop-offs and there was even a waterfall there. It was about a two days' hike from my cabin. That was the best spot until the summer of 1983. That summer there were too many people around my cabin so I decided I needed some peace. I went back to the plateau and when I got there I found they had put a road right through the middle of it ... You just can't imagine how upset I was. It was from that point on I decided that, rather than trying to acquire further wilderness skills, I would work on getting back at the system. Revenge.

Yes.

Based and Tedpilled. I remember Ted saying humans could only truly relate to, trust, and connect with their extended family and immediate peers in a tribal setting. We were never meant for these giant cities where you're surrounded by strangers.

For me is mail-bombing, Ted-shed building, Big iq haver, trombone playing, nature loving Ted kaczynski.

All of this old ass economic systems and ideologies like neoliberalism or communism is trash and gay. We need a new kind of thing, not like some pee pee poo poo anarcho-fascist shit, because most are fucking retarded. Its difficult to do It , still, because there really isnt a 21th century culture, its just 20th century with flat screens and light Up sketchers, like Mark Fisher once said. So /lit/, what do you think?

Why are Americans obsessed with doing things? I don't mean creative things, because those are wonderful. Whenever you're with an American, they will always talk about how they don't have time to reflect. They always have an appointment, have to go to "the game", have to attend their second job in an hour, etc. What the fuck? It's as if they're afraid of confronting their own thoughts. All of the immigrants there get consumed by this way of acting and eventually become mindless drones as well. It's bizarre. Are there any books that discuss this?

I am going to pray for you today anon. I dont know if you are open to religious thought but i recommend Simone Weil's Gravity and Grace. It helped me. I was thinking about suicide at the time i found out about it because someone here on /lit/ recomended it randomly. For some reason i felt like i had to buy that book. The guy only wrote the name of the book and attached a portrait of the author. I waited 30 days for it to arrive and was surprised by it. There are people in this world that know our pains deeply. She knew mine. Maybe she knew yours too.

Pic somewhat related.

It was pretty interesting and funny at times but Kaczynski still has the best manifesto by quite a margin, though Elliot Roger is also up there.

I legit like his jacket here.

Sounds like the problem is not capitalism but industrialization

What authors have ideas that would make interesting fictional characters?
