Is this the only reason you think people identify with the underground man? That's a wild imagination you've got there, man. I can see why you read books, it really expanded your mind.

>> No.10282440

>>10281738
Quite the opposite actually. People see themselves as socially retarded mongoloids much like the underground man, they identify with his negative traits. They don't think they're cool, edgy or superior for being like him at all. The comparison with /r9k/ is frequently made but it isn't really inaccurate imo.

The underground man could live a better life if he wanted but he's purposely choosing. Robots are outcasts who have no option even if they wanted too. The fact that he can talk a prostitute into liking him should tell you he's not really like robots at all.

Probably Raskolnikov from Crime and Punishment because I'm always thinking of Committing crimes before I go to bed. However, he does some stupid things like convert to Christianity.

As to the Brothers Karamazov, that book is the biggest waste of time I've ever read, the characters are awful (I particularly hate Aloysha and find his befriending of the little kids completely irrelevant and pointless)....

Are you sure you read the whole book? Because wet snow sure doesn't sound like he planned or enjoys fucking up at the diner or with Lisa ( I think that was the prostitutes name but I'm not sure). I don't think the diner leaves any room for interpretation regarding his social skills and what he thinks of the situation. And while he gets Lisa to like him he severely misjudges the situation multiple times, spends days in torment hoping she won't come over and turns it into a smoldering trainwreck once she does so.

Underground man is self aware and realizes that by being a misanthropic douche, hes only harming himself. He acknowledges this and thats pretty much the case with most robots. It isnt a good thing and they all realize it. Although for underground man it seems to be a concious effort while for most incels its more based on the fact that they lack social skills and are genetically inferior.

Does he do it in purpose? He sure claims so, but his self destructive acts seem to cause him a lot of pain, and in his inner monologue he constantly tries to salvage the situation. Take the apology letter with the money or hoping that the prostitute won't come over as example.

iirc the underground man seems to believe that his intelligence and predisposition towards "extreme self consciousness" is what makes him the way he is. Seems like the 19th century parallel to genetic inferiority. Although they aren't exactly the same thing, I think the come from a similar source.
