>claims to be a nihilist
>doesn't immediately commit suicide upon the realization
Why do self-proclaimed nihilists never exhibit ideological consistency?

>>18787302

i am antinatalist and i hate cioran. he's too indirect and nonsensical

leopardi is a better pessimistic writer

>>18787302
Cioran wasn't a nihilist though. Please read more before post on this board.

Desire for recognition as Hegel explained.

>>18787351
What use do they have for money and recognition? It doesn't seem consistent.

>>18787363
They want the same things that society teaches everyone when they're young developing children that they should want, because they are manipulable, gullible, and desperate for recognition and approval, as much as they'd like to pretend they're not.

Someone in this thread keeps deleting their posts.

i did. i cringe at my own posts. i have no self-esteem

>>18787302
They don't.

>>18787363
Death cope. Recognition might secure immortalization.

>>18787422
What Leopardi book do you recommend?

>>18787446
Surely they don't believe in 'immortalization'. Eventually all humans will die and nothing will be left of this planet.

>>18787454
Intellectually, no. Emotionally, sure.

>>18787467
Makes sense, the iron-willed nihilists probably wrote nothing and we will never know of their existence. We only have the works of the hacks.

>>18787320
They do. See "Suicide Note" by Mitchell Heisman

>>18787302
nihilists reproduce by grooming the youths, like trannies

>>18787613
one and the same thing

>>18787617
yes. it's all the same mockery of God and his creation.

>>18787622
*gods and their creation

>>18787320
That's anti-natalism, retard

>>18787302
There is actually no such thing as a nihilist. People by nature believe in some implicit value and live on for some reason. Nihilism is intellectual edginess and sadboism.

Why does the mere concept of nihilism trigger all these retards so hard? It just means not believing in objective morality, if you weren't a diehard christfag that's just the obvious worldview.

>>18787827
>"believing" in the things that inborn nature causes us to is the same as believing in specific memes that humans cooked up

>>18787351
I'd say that the death of meaning today leads us to desire for recognition (especially through the internet). That shit's on the fifth of the Phenomenology, that's how far back we've gone.

>>18787340
INEFFABLY BASED

>>18787302
STOP USING THE WORD NIHILISM YOU DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT WORD MEANS AND IT DOESN'T MEAN WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>18787302
because they arent really nihilists. they are absurdist but think its cooler to call themselves a nihilist cuz its edgy idk pretty cringe imo

>>18787302
Cioran wasn't a nihilist you stupid faggot.

PHILOSOPHICAL PESSIMISM ISN'T NIHILISM

>>18787320
What makes you certain death is preferable?
How could you know that there isn't something that naturally happens to living people upon death that doesn't happen to people who were never born?

Pessimist, dipshit

>>18787320
We are, it just takes a lot of time apparently
