Deep&Edgy has a good one about how babby’s first existential crisis is usually just kids getting butthurt about the vapidity of language when language was vapid all along (at least in the great metaphysical sense we all want it to be). Literally just an confusion of semantics drives some imbeciles to suicide. It’s somewhere in the archives. I know it’s just recycled Wittgenstein but there’s an air of truth to it.

Just because the people who post here are outcasts or spergy social misfits doesn't mean they're mentally ill nihilists planning out the next mosque shooting, you petty clickbait article reading faggot. I assume way more common are schizotypals and people with avoidant personality disorder more than anything. I couldn't tell if you spend too much time on /r9k/ or are projecting some sort of desire to commit mass murder yourself, but there is some genuinely hilarious and profound stuff to be found on this site.

What edition is this literal faggot reading? The collected Dialogues start with the Apology and go into Crito and there's no hint of homoerotic lust for ripped abs.

Also did being ripped improve their philosophy in any way? Did working out at the gym and lusting after young boys give Plato his key insight that became his Theory of Forms?

Idiot post

First of all, WW1 was largely fought by Monarchs and the people they delegated power too.

WW2 was instigated and fought by people who did not achieve power through legitimate means.

If the OP was intellectually honest, he would look at the period since WW2, where no blood has been spilt on war on western soil.

Additionally if monarchies are so great, what's this OP's explanation for the state of North Korea?

Absolute power leads to great things if granted to a great leader.

That's a pretty big "if" you fucking moron.
