literally no and im not even simping for him
every single critique ive read of him, and im not gonna say ive read them all but ive read alot of them...
every single one misunderstands some basic aspect of stirner's thought
whether that be spooks, ego, property, power, union of egoists, etc
none of them get it, and so none of them actually critique stirner they just critique a strawman they themselves made up

Are there any actually good critiques of him that aren't just slinging ad hominems? Genuinely curious.

>Add pretty much any philosopher to pic related.

Himself. He's self-refuting.

theres a reason hes a meme and is not taken seriously in actual philosophy. aristotle already BTFO'd retards like him, if they arent willing to offer anything intelligible or cooperative they should be physically assaulted

>>16559709
Care to elaborate on that a little bit? Because I'm not seeing any points being made here...

>>16559709
>they should be physically assaulted

No critiques need to made, his writings are simply redundent--we already live, and have always lived in a union of egoists. Those that insist otherwise are just coping at the fact they've become subservient to the wills of egoists less spooked and more free than they are.

Since you're the foremost scholar of the thread, what was Stirner's endgame?

come and fight me you fucking abstraction

>>16560201
I am perfect. I am not obligated to change nor obligated to remain the same, for I am myself. I am Nothing, as in nothing can label me, and I create myself every moment then discard the old self the next. I base my affairs on Nothing (myself).
I may lack power enough to gain freedom, but I will always own myself. I can pretend to be defeated until I one day take my freedom. Freedom cannot be granted, only taken.
I am me and that's all I need be.

We have better Egoists satan.

>>16559666

>retarded
Spooky

>>16559666
he was a spook

The only thing that would disprove it is the existence of a god. There's no other way to bridge the is/ought gap. If there is no god then nothing can ever become an "ought" unless you personally decide that it is, and all mental abstractions are revealed as simply that and nothing more.

And in beleiving that you curtail the potency of your Ego.

>>16559666
stirner and his work are fine, it's just his simps that are bad.

butterfly did you know that equality is a spook? it is often in my (and your) best interest to sustain rather than overthrow unjust hierarchies
