>Then it's useless.
How so?

>Stirnerism is making this WORSE.
He's actually giving leftist ideologies more power.
The only thing Stirnerism is doing is generating memes and letting a few people live more authentic lives. Leftism would cease to be leftism is his thought abounded.

>He said if that's what you are INTO then you should just go ahead and do it.
Where? His philosophy is about acting in ones best interest, not just doing whatever you are into as if you did not live in community/society.

>His writings are fedora core.
Not at all, unlike the trinity of Fedoraism - Hitchens, Dawkins and Harris his writings are not polemics that misrepresent their opponents, or rely on strawmen.

>I'm sure people back then knew some ideologies were bullshit.
See the trouble is and what Stirner pointed out (in that quote I shared with you) is the fact that when people think they are getting rid of the bullshit they are simply just reddressing and shaping it.

>Stirner is just like those brainlet hegelian delusional idiots.
How so?

Animals are my property.

Wrong. Humans only have a slice of the pie. We still have to fill in the corners with ideals. Human nature is a spook.

>discover that you're incredibly boring and most of your thoughts and ideals are derived from images created in various popular media
>you don't have much property either

Then you create your property anon and begin the long arduous process of self reflection and discovery of your true self.

Just because you identify something as a spook doesnt mean it instantly goes - indeed just like realising you are an addict or have an unhealthy attachment to something/one doesn't automatically end that attachment.

By uncovering more of your true self you will be better placed to find joy and contentment as you will no longer be attaching it to false concepts.

>Did you ever test your edgy theories in the real world?

Yes they, helped to be a more loving an affection son because I managed to overcome the spook of having to be strong and emotionally cold. It also helped me find joy in reading again as I was no longer haunted by the idea that one should only read to be smart and have knowledge in the Western Cannon.

Stirner's writings were the best cure for many of my antisocial or self destructive behaviors.

(bearing in mind philosophy isn't a strong point of mine) am I correct in my reading that Buddha's idea of there being no "self" follows a type of Hegelian/dialectical logic?

I.e. Everything in the universe exists in a constant state of motion wherein they are constantly interacting with and shaping (and being shaped by) everything else. Therefore there are no fixed "things" be they animals, ideas or even one's self because all of these things are constantly changing in reaction to outside stimuli.

Am I on the right track or am I completely misreading it?

Come to terms with the fact you dont actually want to read and stop torturing yourself.
