What's the point of trying to achieve greatness in a world where the deeply established powers can il/legally wall you out of trying to resolve societal and other world problems for the sake of their profit?

You have to be mentally ill and retarded to believe that. You cannot resolve societal problems by yourself. You are not the factor between utopia and current state.

I recently discovered that Islam is supposed to teach ethical business practice and guide fair income and I realized that's one of the reasons they can't coexist with our western cultures, it's antithetical to our advocating of aggressive global economic control

Society is a spook, a concept used to malign and control free human beings. Society is to the atheist as god is to the theist - a thought experiment used by one to mystify another.

My concern is that this isn't something like the sun coming up and going down, these are man-made issues. If mankind doesn't wipe their own ass, who'll do it for them? As pessimistic as my worldview is, I'm still unfortunately idealistic, and that's what makes it so hard for me.
The only thing that's keeping me from the noose is my compartmentalization of said concerns. I've been a loser my whole life, and I'll probably remain so. Why live indeed? It keeps me from wanting to even make a living, because I know that if I start becoming successful, I'll want to use my successes to make moves toward my ideals, but I already know that I'll be shut down.

Intellectuals today are complete pussies.
How come intellectuals in totalitarian dictatorships were willing to risk imprisonment, torture and execution while intellectuals in liberal democracies are unwilling to rock the boat because they might lose tenure?
Absolutely pathetic.

Because people were on the side of those intellectuals. Now people just want to consume products and maybe chant some slogans to feel good about themselves.

You are a walking cancer. Ever heard the saying "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"? Well it doesn't even apply to you, because usually a desire to change a world is nothing more but a badly disguised desire to rule. End it, I mean it, people like you are demons.

Right-wing intellectuals have been utterly crushed, and only exist outside of the traditional academic structure. Left-wing intellectuals won, and this society is what they want. And when it's not, they say it's dialectics and to trust the plan. No one who wants to challenge society has the means to do so.

It's not spoken of often in the west, but I think that in places where Islam is, the believer of Allah must always struggle not to return to his nature which is one of idol loving and cupidity. Much in the same way those of the south must always grapple with their vices of gambling, drinking, and false-prophet loving, those of the north with their nature destroying and people enslaving, and those of 4chan with their cock sucking and AIDS swallowing.

Everything from Marxist-Leninist communists to neoliberals. Right-wing is everything from neocons to ancaps to fascists to monarchists.
>You think they approve of techno-feudalism?
I think they all see modern life as part of a grand plan which will lead them to their socialist stage of development, not "techno-feudalism". Read their own works. Leftists all think the excesses of capitalism are part of the plan, that one day things will get so bad (and capitalism will have built up "productive forces" so much) that a socialist society will happen. Everyone from Deng Xiaoping to Zizek believes this. It's why they don't oppose the system: They want it to reach what they think will be the natural conclusion.

The doublepost is due to a connection error. Jesus you're a fucking retard and a newfag.
You can live perfectly fine for your wife, kids, and friends, put in minimum at work to pass by and work on yourself and your loved ones. It's how I'm living and outside my kids, my wife, and a couple of friends, I don't give a shit about anyone - or their opinions. And we're doing very, very well. Let's say in the top 5% range of my country.
