Get the fuck back into society, you idiot. You aren't above anybody because you Isolate yourself and consume yourself to death. We are all born from shit and die in shit. You are no better than "normies" and you aren't special just because you hate them. Get a real job, gain skills, get a better job, and keep going while you try and maybe learn how to actually write. You will write on the side. You will get better. If you're any good you will be noticed, and if not, at least you can take solace in the fact that you aren't a piss poor NEET living in a shed scratching his ass playing videogames all day contemplating suicide.

How can you separate the good from the bad in this world? How do you know what’s normal and what is dystopian. I consciously know that the world we made isn’t all it could be, but the line separating natural from fake is blurred enough for me that I don’t feel down. I assume you want some people around you who see the world the same way you do..

by taking small steps. save up and put down a mortgage. meet someone nice. in the meantime, invest your time into small pleasantries like plants (even houseplants), art, crafts, camping, hiking, hunting, etc.
you don't need to purchase fancy equipment.
>gardening
indoor plants aren't expensive
>art
just start with the basics of sketching, you don't need to focus on getting the right tools for the job. literally just a pencil and a sketchbook. moleskine if you must.
>crafts
same deal. learn with budget equipment and only buy premium stuff if you really need to. there are many cheap crafts like crochet, felting, origami, woodcarving, ceramics (see about using someone elses kiln), etc.
>camping
just buy food, water, sleeping bag, and look into local campgrounds.
>hiking
self explanatory
>hunting
a little bit more expensive but you could always use a bow. hard to embarrass yourself if you are alone.
find joy in nature and humanity. despair begets despair. understand why you despise things and why the things you despise currently exist. eventually you will find a peaceful answer unworthy of being despised.

Those jobs pay a pretty good hourly wage though, right? Is it possible you can just do part time and dedicate more time to self development and hobbies? If you cannot be fulfilled by work, you can always be fulfilled by your other pursuits
>>19725931
The family part is pretty difficult, but you can always just be more prudent and save up whatever you can. By the time you are ready to start a family (besides the one you were born into) you might actually have some kind of wealth to support them. In terms of things like gardening, you can do that even on a small north-west facing balcony. You can grow beautiful produce under poor conditions. Gardening is just an example of a hobby that keeps you in touch with the simplicites of life. As this anon >>19726011 said, there are a lot of options that provide similar benefits

you need to reenchant your life. short of moving to the forest and becoming a shaman, start walking in nature an hour a day, stop using any smart phone or social media, grow plants and garden, reestablish your ties with local wildlife (feed birds, bee houses, etc). Humans are an animal that have millions of years of evolution of dwelling in a natural environment. You have been taken out of that environment; now it is time to go home.

You can only come to this conclusion through mental gymnastic and taking for granted leftism is inherently good and anti establishment. Unless you're one of those retards who thinks only orthodox marxism is real leftism.

He was far from the first to ever say that. Most Frankfurt School intellectuals already discussed that at length. And even if that was a profound point it doesn't matter much since he continued to be a whiny pussy leftist who came in his pants over Russell Brand making "communism cool again"

but yes it's incredible how leftists today don't acknowledge how absorbed they are into the system considering every leftist intellectual warned about it, i guess their resentment really is that powerful

I don't agree with Bifo on everything, but he has a pretty interesting perspective on how contemporary communications technologies have enabled the war machine of capitalism to invade time.
