am I being pretentious/arrogant if I believe I am above engaging in democracy and the current political system because I've read Nietzsche, Machiavelli, and Spengler? I believe that anyone that believes in democracy (slave morality) and votes for democrats/republicans/participates in voting is not smart.

No Debord believed that we could escape the spectacle by creating situation. Baudrillard said that there is no escape from spectacle. If you want to know about the greatest pessimists then see Philipp Mainländer and Julius Bahnsen. Mainländer said that suicide is the ultimate redemption in this world and then committed suicide. While Julius said that we can never escape to doom of consciousness existence because life will keep popping up again and again. One can maybe cure the spectacle but you can't cure the cosmic weariness of a pessimist. For pessimists it never really began. When all this begin, it was a failure for a pessimist and he is nostalgic for the time before time.
Nobody in pic related procreated and three of them committed suicide as an end point to their philosophies.

Will you start believing in le authenticity of pessimism if a pessimist philosopher killed himself?
Of course not, because you're a biased optimistic faggot who doesn't give a shit about sincerely engaging with philosophical ideas.

>if a pessimist don't kill himself
boohoo fucking pussy doesn't take his ideas seriously
>if a pessimist kills himself
boohoo fucking pussy killed himself

If your your ass is really itching for pessimists who killed themselves then see pic relate,d 3 of them killed themselves as an endpoint to their philosophies. And none of pic related have or had kids. So there you have it and now what?

Pessimists do take their philosophies seriously.
