All humans have a political instinct to assert themselves within their tribe and mediate social boundaries. In our retard funhouse meme world we term civilization these instincts utterly misfire and people spend their lives seething at cloud formations and wisps of dust while a tiny elite controls everything and mocks them.

>Why are people obsessed with politics
you'll find most people aren't, even the people who are 'obsessed' tend to know when to back out of it.
Obsession with politics if very much an online trend, mostly kept to places like 4chan and Twitter where things can easily snowball out of control and people are usually at least 50% trolling whenever they say anything.

If you go outside and talk to any random person they'd likely tell you to fuck off because they don't want to deal with politics, especially with strangers. Its only in Twitter where some random troll in their basement can trigger 10000s of people by making a single shitty tweet.

The other translation is better since the translator isn't a beta bitch afraid to use the word "spook"

>> No.17886635

>>17886608
I disagree agree, but I use both translations because Byington has a stronger introduction than landstreicher since Byington puts Stirner in historical context, Landstreicher doesn't which makes since considering the argument he's making for his translation for Stirner which has stronger anti-philosophical implications that are often missed by people who proclaim they've read Stirner or even understand him.
