It's so funny. Stirner's Critics (and to some extent Der Einzige) reads like a massive shitpost. It's is a genuinely fun read because he takes the piss outta every other young hegelian while simultaneously BTFOing their retarded ideologies. I have no doubt he would've been on some kinda image board if he was born in the current age.
(Stirner writes about himself in third person)

>The critics display even more irritation against the “egoist” than against the unique. Instead of delving into egoism as Stirner meant it, they stop at their usual childish depiction of it and roll out to everyone the well-known catalogue of sins. Look at egoism, the horrible sin that this Stirner wants to “recommend” to us.
>If [Stirner] had thought, like Szeliga, that the egoist is nothing but a numbskull who marries a rich girl and ends up with a bickering wife, if he would have seen, like Feuerbach, that the egoist can’t have a “sweetheart,” or if he would have recognized, like Hess, the human-beast in egoism or would have sniffed out the predatory murderer there, how could he not have conceived a “profound horror” and a “legitimate indignation” towards it!
>Stirner dares to say that Feuerbach, Hess and Szeliga are egoists.
>Of course, in saying this, Hess also confesses in a complete and undisguised way that he has not, even distantly, understood what Stirner’s book is getting at.

Did he say anything of worth?
