i am a literal dosto character.
the world around me has been constructed and arranged prior in my birth so that i could experience maximum suffering
but because i am too great to live in this society, i have created my own, in my home. vegetating here and watching everything that i cant control go to shit is much more fun

Whoever made that comic strip doesn't understand the existentialist framework he's attacking.

>What if everybody would do that
is not a counter argument. Take a Stiernerian egoist. That's an individual and - unlike Marx or Kant or whoever - he doesn't try to convince everybody that they should adopt this and that very philosophy and act of living. Of course, if it's advantagous that everybody is cucked by some moral code, then that's perfect for the egoist who "standard above it" and can make use of the barriers that others put upon themselves.

Of course, running around and writing "you're spooked" to walls without being in the context of a conversation - that's stupid also and is just what /lit/ turned Stirners ideas into.

But still, to quote the comic
>every group of individuals needs some set of guidelines to seperate harmful and benefitial behaviour
is no argument against an individual adopting an egoist perspective.
Of course, if I'm an egoist, I too want people to form certain restrictions that e.g. prevent them from huring me and one another. But that's just something I want people to impose on themselves, and I'll only follow that rule myself if I find it helpful.
What everybody does, or what everybody should do, that's completely irrelevant from an indvidualist perspective - for example, if you (whoever the reader of this text is right now) consideres the above lines, than YOU can insert yourself in the freed position and let all others follow some rules. The point is that you don't want to impose rules on yourself. But, on the flipside, this also do not mean that you pathologically will not follow the rules. It just means that the rules don't apply to you as rules. They are propositions and of course you'll follow a lot of social morals, because otherwise people will imprison you, or you might feel bad (because you're just human after all) or whatnot. But they don't have to be propositions that you take to actrively restrict you in any way.

Maybe to expand on this with one more sentence:

If I drink paint, then I might die and that's a band consequence. So I don't drink paint.
In this sense, I won't go and shoot the dog of my neighbor, because I'll get in big trouble.
But the fact that someone (e.g. police/state) says it's illegal to shoot dogs or whatnot, doesn't mean I'm restricted to do it. You're only restricted if you tell yourself you can't do it because it's illegal.
It might be semantics, but the point is that the law doesn't restrict you - it just informs you on which actions will have what consequences and you'll follow this and that rule out of choice. And when you think you're good, you can "break the law" as you choose. Because if, at the point, you end up not doing something you think would be a good idea simply because it's against the law (and not because of your conclusions concerning the consequences and whether you want to face them), then you're just spooked.

And - again - the above is not in any way a propositon that everybody should become a Stirnerian. Just you.
You'll never see a union of egoist, I don't think that's worth trying. So this is just about one person in the world: You.

My Ego wishes to help other people rid themselves of spooks so that we may form a Union of Egos and together, have an acceptable life that appeases both my Ego and the Ego of the group.

I just wanna be friends with some Stirner Shitposters

My experience living as a destitute imageboard posting empath is a perspective that is tinged by some of the most negative emotions known to man, and can't possibly be understood by someone who is afforded the luxury of indifference and love. So it means that if I attempt to crossover into making norm friendly work, I am creating a nexus between the worlds of the depraved and the nurtured. Do you understand now you LD?
