After much teenage interest in it and reading some of the site as I have a growing suspicion that it is. The monastic life might suit some but all kinds of religions have it and meditation is interesting and useful but that is it. The Buddha himself was clearly a genius and his identification that suffering and desire are linked is very true though. The religions that emerged from it are probably less useful than you might imagine though.

Aren't the different kinds of buddhism quite different in many regards?
I assume there's at least one variant less defeatist

Monks seem to be onto something, until they make intricate art just for the ending ritual of distroying it and relishing in the impermanence of it all. They seem to switch gears from not worshipping the material to worshipping destruction.

Yes, they are quiet different. In fact you'll only find defeatist buddhism in the west. there is a reason for it.
