Write a light-hearted and comedic novel about the downfall of western civilization instead.

It's because everyone has become quintessentially american, i.e. vapid consumerist nigger lovers with nothing to die for

What about ISIS? You are just like the rest. You cant even comprehend life outside of the first world. The struggle you fantasize about is not in you.

did you see those ISIS recruitment videos? Bascially an MTV music video

ISIS is simply antithetical to americanism, it is just as nihilistic and aimless. They just choose suicide belts and death by cop over AIDS, opiates and cancer.

>he thinks people do these things from nihilism

Again, cannot comprehend life outside of your bubble, you think everyone must be like yourself which is a very typical cognitive bias. There is no red pill. You cannot think yourself out of it. You have to be thrown into a life and death struggle

I think you are confusing ISIS with Taliban, which are essentially just garden variety nationalists.

I guess you are right actually i dont pay it much attention. My point was that many people are engaged with life in this "passionate" way and ultimately it is no more grand than the dissolute west.

OP I doubt you have even a fraction of the education to have even the most tenuous grasp on the course of western civilization if you think it's remotely near collapse. We are currently living at the zenith of western power and global influence. The reason you are miserable is that you are no more the master of this society than the faceless inhabitants of the third world you probably see as your inferiors. The true architects of this culture no longer have your interests in mind, indeed they never really did, it was simply coincidence that what benefited the elite also benefited you and your family for a few generations. That happy romance is nearing its end, and soon the favor of the haves will transfer to another subset of the have-nots and you will know what it is to be marginalized.
