same and I hate Steppenwolf in the same way. Both are whiny, overly sensitive losers used by self inserting authors to COPE. Steppenwolf is literally the most bourgouis possible character. OOOH I CRIED AT A CONCERT THAT ENSURES I HAVE S O U L. They are more obnoxious than the doomer meme. The pamphlet in Steppenwolf is cringiest thing I have ever read, including 4chan posts. Both represent the pure COPE withholding self-pitying losers from acknowledging their empty, soulless, slimy lives and moving forward. They replace the turmoil and self -torture of Raskolnikov and the underground man with a smugness inducing the rot of self indulgent mediocrity.

What is something that tells us about the state of masculinity in present times? is it social media? or the recent fashion trends? no anons, it's porn. The front pages of porn will tell you about two types of men. Bare in mind that both type are pathetic and weak, living in a bubble of fantasy and ticklish manhood. Type A are the men who watch cuckold porn, failing to understand that it sends them into the deepest abyss of inferiority complex, thinking of their wives getting pleased by someone else, their masculinity breaks. Type B are the men who are fragile and have a false reality in their mind about what it actually means to be a man. They are the ones that mostly enjoy japanese pornography with screaming women. Giving them a pleasure that only comes from sexual domination. They fail to understand that women aren't meant to be broken or played around like toys. They are meant to be embraced and cared for, but within limits, or we shall pass the line of becoming type A.
I have written this not because I hate porn(I do) but because I hate what I see in front of me. Masculinity has depleted and eroded. It's ideals stripped of it's virtue. Come with me anons, take the /fitlit/ pill and start out journey of achieving the purpose that every man has the potential to achieve.

Not an object, I just hate the fact that everyone needs to have an opinion, unlike back when only those apt enough to understand were able to access information on topics. People switch over ideas, ideologies and opinions flippantly like light switches. People who know nothing about economics or Hegel lecture you about how communism is great, people who have not even deeply looked into metaphysics suddenly convert themselves into zealous tradcaths. I hate this, and I hate the undeserved love of “freedom”. No one wants freedom, they just want to feel “free” and have the freedom to pursue their pleasures, but whenever someone acknowledges this, and the nihilistic truth about our search for meaning, and tries to propose controlling society down to the most minute details, for the benefit of all, and making meaning and thought obsolete, people start crying “muh freedom” “muh meaning”, meaningless copes. I despise this. I used to be a very sympathetic person to all of these “muh freedom” causes, to all of these searches for meaning, to the “muh dystopia” crowd, to those against eugenics and brainwashing, but I’ve come to realize that not only are they mostly retarded and can’t think past their innate biases, there’s also the issue that, to an NPC, all memes are essentially brainwashing to their uncritical and fickle brains, so why not brainwash them right? Overall fuck “freedom”, tyranny of the masses, tyranny of neoliberalism and tyranny of capitalism, none of these are freeing at all.

Normies are so fucking boring. The women are all do-nothing create-nothings who think their pussy makes them inherently important, so they end up being a glorified domestic cat whose only goal is to bask in the nearest sunbeam of attention.

The men are so utterly broken by the women that all they want is their approval. They don't even dream of sex with them anymore, they don't even get that far, all they want is a single nod of approval from the fucking women, to the point that they will degrade themselves even when women aren't around because they are imagining their internalized woman going "you're such a good boy, you respect me properly, you have correctly identified that I am above you and you know the proper deferential relationship to one's superiors."

You can always tell a normie on 4chan because they can't resist enforcing normalcy. The women enforce normalcy because it's all they've ever known and they've always been at the center of it, where it's nice and warm. They so immersed in normalcy don't even know they're enforcing it. It's just an "is" to them. It's like a fish "enforcing" being underwater. But then normie men are the real pathetic ones. They are the ones on the fringes of normalcy where it's cold, looking in at the center through trees and shrubs at night, at the privileged center where the fire is blazing and the women are sitting around being serviced by the Chad elite. In the normie perspective the Chads have the "honor" of dancing for the women and venerating them, like in Robert Graves' matriarchal femdom fantasies of primeval prehistory.

The dwellers on the fringe live in perpetual sexless twilight, making webcomics and tweets to "support women." They see a random man scoffing at a random woman, privately, and their reptile brain springs into action, they rush over and demand that he apologize to the woman who didn't even hear him. They have no sense of humor, no room for exceptions to normalcy. Exceptions frighten them because they remind them that there may be something beyond the normie life. They prick them with the possibility that some night they should turn away from the fire with the disgraceful dancing Chads and the barely even consciousness women and go off on their own, learn to make their own fire.

Normies are monkeys from a previous stage of human development, I piss on normies.

Yeah and discourse ends up getting reduced to signalling your membership of a faction and slandering an opposing faction because they don't actually have an opinion so they can't talk about it.

Fucking. Bike lanes.
It' isn't the objest, it's what it represents.
the most annoying and dangerous thing you could put on a fucking road other then literally a four way green light is a bike lane, why? We hate the bikers, they fought say in and day out for a pece of the road, but is it really the bikers fault? no, it's the governments, because everything the government does is slow and fucking lazy so why the fuck would you expect them to make a decent bike lane when you fucking KNOW they wont. The lane is too fucking small, people get hit all the time in bike accidents it's fucking insane, and bikers simply ride down these things knowing full well it's not even close to reasonable to ask cars to go around you in a safe manner, but they blame drivers for driving to and from work and other places instead of just accepting the fact that the lane is a sorry ass excuse for a proper bike lane that the government lazily designed cause they have no business making one lest they have to make it actually right that meaning wide enough for decent riding along with wide lanes for cars so they don't accidentally go into the bike lane: no instead of all that cause that's alot of work, they'll make a bike lane just big enough for about half the width of your arms spread out, and tell bikers "you have the right to bike on your little unsafe lane, don't let anyone tell you otherwise", and no, no one actually wants to take away your right to bike on the fucking road, but if you think that's not a high risk thing that you're doing and expect us to have super fast reflexes in traffic 24/7 it's jsut not so the government knows it's not fucking safe but we just both haveto make up for the incompentency by both slowing down to a grandmas pace because THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO BUSINESS IN MAKING PROPER FUCKING BIKE LANES.

Transportation engineer here. Yes they're terrible and it comes down to acquisition of Right Of Way for construction and "Federal Guidelines" that tell you that you can design garbage.
One up-and-coming trend I've been seeing is converting abandoned roads and railroads into bike trails. This is very cost effective as there's already a good road base, ditches, and drainage pipes (the most important and expensive parts of constructing a road to last)

I'm an adjunct English professor, and all I get saddled with are remedial courses for people who absolutely fucked up their ACT/SAT. The state I live made so that any fucking person that graduates from a high school in state can get up to an Associate's or a similar program for "free." They only have to pay it back if they flunk out.

I have caused so many students to flunk out. I hate looking at their stupid fucking faces and it brings me joy to see the disappointment and the heartbreak when they realize that they'll have to keep grinding at their shitty jobs because they can't satisfy basic grammar rules or construct sentences. Most of them want to be nurses, and the ones whom I would not want to even change my bedpan and wash my penis never pass. I feel like I'm doing a public service by being a gatekeeper. And yeah, sure, some of them got sorted in because they didn't take their tests seriously because it's just another test in the dreary prisons that schools became, and of course that faggot, Foucault, stated the obvious with that observation, and they do well. Hell, even some of the dullards are at least funny, but more than half are on the verge of mental retardation. I had one student tell me that she was in special ed. Special ed and she's in fucking college demanding that I slow down! And she wants to be a nurse! Of course, her stupid bullshit responses to writing prompts could hardly even pass as English. I thought Zoom classes would be more tolerable as I do not have to share a classroom with these gormless mongoloids but no, they don't even wash the crust from their faces and don't know how to activate push-to-talk, so there's always one in every class that has some fucking absolute dipshit popping off in the background or some crying child or barking dog.

My innocent, good-natured family is watching a netflix show about nigger nobility in 17th century Brittain. Can you believe it? NIGGERS, British nobility. NIGGERS, Roman soldiers. NIGGERS, Celtic warriors. WE WUZ ERRYBODY. Where did whites even come from? NIGGERS created every civilization in the world. NIGGERS, who were dragged from their filthy huts by slavers and used like oxen to farm sugar and cotton, were simultaneously ruling Western countries and apparently enslaving themselves during the time when NIGGER Samurai were being contacted by NIGGER captains from the Royal NIGGER Navy. They invented math and crucified Jesus, who was probably also a nigger. NIGGERS. God damn it I hate niggers.

I hate pornography. It's a tool of enslavement and a medium for creating all sorts of psychological and sexual issues in people, it's built on the exploitation of vulnerable parts of society and on the erosion of moral decency, and at the end of the day it's a giant waste of time, a trick, a lie that makes its users think all the effort they put into using it is worth the approximately 5 seconds of pleasure at the end. For a moment after completing the cycle of arousal, masturbation, and orgasm, one finds clarity of mind and in it faces abject disgust with what one has done, but at that point the well-worn pathways in the brain that support the habit of using pornography have been once again reinforced, practically guaranteeing that after the clarity retreats, the user will fall prey to the promise of enjoyable, pleasurable pornography use.
A greater tool of the Devil doesn't exist.
I hope I live to see pornography thrust into the lowest part of Hell.

Looking at this prompt, I realize hate is not an emotion I am familiar with. Scorn is an afterthought to work in for the suffering of someone who swatted away an olive branch, but only if I can do so without going out of my way. Disgust a reflex to those who are coloring books for Christmas, but not something conscious. Same with disdain when I see 'traceable Naruto coloring books' left in the browser history of the logistics office work computer from the obese, anime hoodie clad coworker I relieved for my graveyard shift. I am trying, as a Christian, to judge an loath less and to empathize more. But I think the only thing I can truly say I hate, without any effort, the one entity which is my waking and sleeping recourse to bathe in mental acid and shout the word raca to is myself. Every cringing insecurity, autistic social freezup, every narcissistic, gormless thing I have done, and everything I have proven lacking in, these are the shards of metal and bits of spine upon the flagellants scourge I would have weilded had I lived in medieval Europe.

Those charts are garbage. Start with the Greeks if you want quality books.

God, do I hate Jordan Peterson and everything he stands for. Everything in his worldview is about being profound by obeying the status quo. What an absolutely horrifying prospect. Clean your room. Get a job. Go to church. Obey the government and the flag they defend. Find female mate and have kids. Then die when you’ve outlived your use. What an absolutely repugnant life formula. Pray - work - reproduce - die. A formula for life, all neatly packed into a consumer object. Mankind turned into a consumer object, who gets to contribute solely through this formula, then gets discarded.

Jordan Peterson represents the disgusting era the West is going through right now. If you’ve seen The Trap part 3 by Adam Curtis, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Find out what people want right now, give it to them, and nothing more. No grand vision of freedom being for something, a hopeful and better future we can all work towards. That’s postmodern neo-Marxism, and that’s wrongthink.

Jordan Peterson also reminds me of the criticism of Chris Hedges of the funeral of Michael Jackson. In it, Hedges criticizes celebrity culture, and how the whole of the entertainment industry groomed Jackson, turned him into a product for all of us to consume and then discard. Celebrity culture abducted Jackson, deformed and damaged his body and his mind, and then destroyed him. Something similar has happened, I fear, in the Jordan Peterson phenomenon. He represents not just a strange connection between on the one hand religion, philosophy and psychology and on the other hand consumption, entertainment and celebrity. To me, Peterson is the embodiment of the hostile takeover of the very concept of meaning by celebrity culture itself. It represents something deeply disturbing to me. This is amplified by all the weirdness surrounding his personal life, the very public access to his life, and the almost sickening devotion his followers have. They respond to all his bizarre behavior, such as the all meat diet, the coma therapy for his drug addiction, and the need to interview a man who is clearly not doing well. The lobsters respond to this in the most disgusting way possible. They simply deny it, and remain silent. I’m old enough to know what also responded to bizarre behavior of their idol with silence. They were the fans of Michael Jackson.

>>17189137
He's right you know. Most people should get their shit together first and only then think about "a better future". If you haven't noticed, about half of zoomers have at least one mental illness and no idea about life. He's right that people need to be re-educated about the basics if they forgot them all, then we can work towards something. Look at the Greeks: they did all the stuff you enumerated from Peterson, and then they found time to advance the world too. You need a foundation first.

>>17189151

People who tell me about their drug trips. I mean the type of self-indulgent, conceited windbags who attribute vastly too much meaning to anything they experience while on drugs in an effort to show the world how incredibly deep and spiritual and open-minded and philosophical they are. Likely the same people who'd tell you they cured their friend's cancer by teaching them how to meditate and by making them eat their artisanally baked broccoli flavoured cupcakes. To anyone who isn't entirely consumed by pomposity, listening to such drivel is an excruciating experience. I once had the displeasure of sitting next to one of these freaks at a party. He was the brother of a girl I was trying to bone, which meant I couldn't be my usual frank and forthright self and tell him to shut it, so I had to endure an hour long lecture on how listening to the rhythms of African tribal music while high on acid had given him an out-of-body experience, during which his soul turned into a "metaphysical mosquito" that subsequently sucked the negativity out of his veins in a cleansing ritual he said left him feeling like a newborn baby, after which he spent the remaining 3 hours of his trip poking holes into a block of cheese with a toothpick hoping to free its soul.

It's a start. I had some friends who read him, followed his advice, and they feel better. It's obviously not enough that a private individual markets himself on social media to random kids.

I fucking hate suburbia. It is the devoid of nature, devoid of charm, devoid of soul.
It is miles long strips of 3 lane mini highways surrounded by concrete blocks with logos. These highways branch off into 2 lane roads with, you guessed it, concrete blocks with logos. Every fucking building is the same, Its 4 walls of grey with some windows that have a small rectangle horizontally layed on the bottom, a thin piece of metal, and a larger rectangular plane on top of that, some kind of trimming or protruded shape in the front with a logo on it, a flat root, and a glass door. Those 2 lane streets branch off into houses that all look like they came from the same box. The houses are 5 feet from each other, share the same lawn, and the only separation possible is with a fence. One of your neighbors got a dog? Sorry bud, your sleep is at the whims of a canine that isn't yours. Oh you just bought a $300,000 house? Give the homeowners association money so they can tell you your mailbox is crooked.
So you bought a house, you're excited, you go out to dinner to celebrate. What are your options?

I also despise the metropolitan suburbian hell that I reside in.

I hate what my homeland is becoming.

The people of my region are kept fat and complacent by consumer goods. They spend so much of their income on this that they are forever buying goods but never able to save for a house or land. The women are systematically made to hate their culture by peer pressure and mass media and men are kept indifferent by video games and other such distractions. I have asked a few women here what they hate about the nation but the just name a city they don’t like or give a shallow reason that does not correspond to the level of hatred they display. It is clear to see that they are pawns and are coerced into hating their homeland by mass media.

Men are kept artificially divided by “football patriotism.” People feel a sense of duty not to their people or homeland but to a football club. Thus the anger of many millions of men is funnelled into something that predator capitalists can use to sell cheap Chinese made goods. This allows people to take out their anger with the current poor state of Northern England without causing damage or making lasting change. People will not connect with people from other cities as they are told by their respective clubs that these other people are their rivals who they should despise.

What makes me especially angry about the current state of the Norf is that I know it doesn’t have to be like this. These are the same people that carried out the pilgrimage of grace and the same people who’s descendants carried out the Canadian revolution. They definitely could change things if they wanted and organised and used the current political system to their advantage but they are kept distracted.

People who lived in an age before the current issues reached the point they are at now will tell you that the north used to have a strong community spirit, but that is gone now.

What is worst of all is that in classrooms across the region people are told that the people in the north were the oppressors when we were the ones who had our land salted. Historical accounts actually show that a great deal of northerners didn’t actually know that the British empire existed (read road to Wigan pier).

Fucking cocaine, it ruined multiple friendships of mine. I live in the world-capital of cocaine consumption. I don't get it. You take it and feel like a suave motherfucker for the next 30 minutes, but all it does is make you behave like an egotistical maniac.

You are right. I live in Italy and it's the most individualistic culture I ever knew. People only care about their short term happiness. They just want to eat pasta, watch football and ignore all the problems, because as long as they are happy they don't care if the country as a whole is becoming a shithole. The political parties only offers short-term crap like earlier retirement (which will be an expense for future generations), bonuses and pardons for abusers, flat-tax ecc. Nobody seems to worry about the future, nobody is willing to make sacrifices now such as doing long-term investments in infrastructure, education and innovation or fighting corruption for real because too many people benefit from the status quo.

Would the whole world just finally stop acting as if they were interested in the fabricated plight of a nigger? Would the day be celebrated internationally? Would economies start to boom when charity, monetary aid and welfare lost on niggers could be channeled into betterment of a nation? You can't possibly claim with a straight face that anyone would miss them.

Imagine the leftover workers from international leeching organizations like the red cross. Imagine those, who spent their lives trying to fruitlessly educate niggers in their home countries. Imagine all the piles of unnecessary books regarding some nigger pseudoscience that would finally have no excuse to exist.
We could finally focus all that brainpower and money lost on trying to pander and babysit niggers or curing ebola/AIDS to any other dream we as mankind might have. Currently it feels like we are stuck on a planet with an unevolved species that we are trying to uplift out of pity.

We are at the point where every single other ethnicity pretty much acknowledges the inferiority of a nigger, but are willing to somewhat put up with their chimpouts and annoyances:
The chinx trick niggers in their own continent to do slave labour, westerners are introducing positive discrimination to force even some niggers past the minimum requirements in the name of diversity and boosting ones moral superiority, arabs are willing to act friendly with niggers as long as they spread islam, jews befriend niggers to undermine white nations and so on.

Yes and I was wonderful until an Austrian fuck ruined everything, just like WWI broke out because an Austrian faggot died. I hate Austrians

Fish. The only food that i refuse to eat.
How i love and quite simply, adore other delights of the sea. Prawns,mussels and even fish roe, but fish itself makes my stomach turn and the very stench of it makes my stomach heave.
It was not always this way, i had eaten (and according to my mother, even enjoyed) fish fingers in my early youth. Enter kindergarten, where i was forced to finish an absolutely revoltingly tasting fish stew, that forever destroyed my appreciation for the bounty of the sea.
I have attempted to relieve myself of this avoidance by forcing myself to eat it. Surprisingly, sometimes it tastes good. In fact, it even tastes great. Then something activates within my brain and my stomach's muscles tense up. The food starts to taste awful and i will be unable to swallow it. Defeated and shamed, i spit it on a napkin not too discreetly.
School food didn't help. Cheap pollock drenched in a vile, mango based sauce. Sometimes it was simply almonds. God forbid what psychosis had afflicted the minds of the school food board. Then there's the anchovy and potato bake, known as Janssonin kiusaus, literally meaning Jansson's temptation. It was hardly very tempting to me.
Bafflingly, i greatly enjoy gravlax. Perhaps it is the awful texture of the fish that prevents me from delighting in it.
Still, fuck fish and fuck anyone who thinks it's better than moules marinière.
I hope i die chocking on a mussel shell.

Did you finish the book? Steppenwolf might’ve been a self insert but the point of the book was to explore the conscious and subconscious mind of the self-pitying individual and to show that there is a better way of living. Steppenwolf comes off as cringy because he is kind of supposed to...

I feel that way about Beef Stroganoff because i caught a giant opposum one night after it had been creeping around tearing open our trash bags. I poked it with a stick until it played dead and carried if off by it's scruff. It released some sort of foul oily secretions to imitate being dead and the smell clung to me. When i went inside to eat dinner we were having Stroganoff with sauteed onions and something about the similarity in the odor of the opposum and the meal made me retch. Now i can't eat Stroganoff without smelling an opposum playing dead

Freedom, without Wisdom, undoes itself.

I fucking hate deadlines and group projects, whether it's at school or work. Deadlines tend to make me stress, and unless you magically stumble upon intelligent and/or truly motivated people, group projects just plain suck.
The combination of the two can make me sick. I once had to spend two weeks in sleep deprivation to make up for someone's incompetence and finish a work that wasn't that hard just because some punk thought it was a great idea to integrate a 'brilliant' technician (that didn't even know how to write a fucking lab report) into our academic courses.

Thanks, covid. Thanks, fucking idiots.

A female friend graduated in Law and wanted to teach as a professor. She ended up as a substitute professor in a pedagogy undergrad course (which in my country is one step above being a cook or a cleaning lady). She wanted to uplift the students and asked them to write an academic paper as an assignment. They wrote a petition asking for her removal.

Pedagogues, that is. Not professors. BR btw.

I used to like it but I've started to sour on it and J.D. Salinger in general.

Two people had sex so many years ago, a human body was gestated and birthed, and through some cosmic strangeness I am that body and must deal with it's needs, until it and I (the same thing?) drops dead, and it's as if it never happened at all. Well, what was the fucking point? Human embodiment requires literal constant effort to maintain. You must feed and drink and seek warmth and shelter, which in your culture requires money which means working a job which means going to school and getting trained and educated to sell your labour to trade for shit your body needs to keep the whole fucking charade going as if you're toiling to sustain the very thing that brings about your misery in the first place. And it's not enough - the body has more needs, and more desires, and it's fucking endless. Sexual, social, existential, goals, hopes, dreams, desires - it is not enough to simply maintain homeostasis. And when all your needs are satisfied are you delivered over to bliss and euphoria? No. You're just directly confronted with the inherent emptiness and lack of life without an end or aim - boredom, ennui, restlessness. You must invent shit to absorb to your mind into, to escape this confrontation. You must find timesinks and hobbies and interests, shit to keep you occupied. And you grind this out for so many decades, maybe find a girl and spit out a few more sufferers to keep you company, and then you fucking die.

Like, fuck off.

Nice rant, retard.

Dear Procrastination,

Verily fuck you.

P.S. Fuck you some more you fucking parasitic condition which subsists on active non-engagement yet is nonetheless draining because it takes mental effort to put aside the opportunity cost of being a time-wasting fuckhead.

P.S.S. Fuck you some more, cunt.

you guys on lit have the worst taste.
I said it.
You just want to read books that are barely comprehensible and pretend to have a profound opinion on them to impress strangers on the internet.
Or maybe I'm just an autist who likes Sci/fi Fantasy too much.

Either way, fuck you.

...women, am I right?

There's too much information. I can't read fast enough or retain enough of what I read. As a kid I was led down the wrong path, resulting in a botched education. As an adult I realize how far I am behind, not the average person, but those with potential to change the world. It's hopeless and I'm too broken to fix.

I had to stop reading Steppenwolf because I was losing my identity in the character.

>>17196713
I got off here for a few months last year. I returned because the other websites are complete shit, the time I wasted on 4chan was then wasted on other shittier places. The only escape from this place is replacing online entertainment with real world activities, but everything is online now so there's no escape. Stress leads to procrastination leads to more stress and it never ends. I'll get out of here some day.

Why did it have such an effect on you?

All I hear is the demonic screeching of seagulls and the cawing of crows in this neighbourhood, never any beautiful birdsong. It is as if when the immigrants moved in beauty itself moved out, and now all I have is noise. When I go outside I see trash littered everywhere because these fiends tear into every garbagecan they can reach, and I'm pretty sure the local immigrant pizza place feed them.

You have no idea how much this bothers me. I genuinely think this has affected my mental health.
