I disagree not only with your chronology, but also with your dating of Caesarism as only starting with the founding of the Roman empire.
Caesarism begins with the contest between force-politics (popular, military or otherwise) and the old democratic/moneyed order. As is generally understood, by Spengler himself among others, to include Marius, Sulla, Cicero, Drusus, etc. A very important part of early Caesarism is the destruction and tearing away of democratic mores and instiutions in favor of violence. This is an internal process. Which
>A: Disqualifies hitler for being a Sulla-like figure of any sort because his country had the democratic institutions of a rock and his killing did not direct itself inwardly.
>B: Means Caesarism does not start with imperium
and
>C: If you did read Spengler, you definitely did not understand much.
Now your gneration assertion: It's completely baseless, you made this up. Life expectancy has nothing to do with the political development of a culture.

I spoke with a suicide chat line. The person seemed very young or like an ESL. I respect their attempt to talk. I said I wasn't going to hurt myself when they asked, but very quickly they must have realized that it was probably a lie because they asked a couple more times. I just said "I'm not going to harm myself. Thank you for listening." and disconnected after they responded. Now I'm paranoid that police will show up.

I have been a fan of motorcycles for a long time, I even bought one when I was about 22 years old. It was a Suzuki GN250 - a small, lightweight, beginner's bike. Its top speed was probably around 100kph (64 freedom units per hour for my American friends). But I sold it after about 5 years because I decided that I don't really need it. I mostly just rode it on the weekends, for fun. None of my friends were into bikes so I was always riding alone.
Now it's been about 4 years since I sold it and I recently started wanting some kind of a bike again. This time I am looking into one of those "cafe racer" style e-bikes that are kind of like bicycles but also kind of like motorcycles. They look pretty cool, they can reach speeds of about 45kph (28mph) and a fully charged battery is good for about 70km (about 44 miles). But these things cost over a thousand euros and I am a little afraid that it will be the same as with the motorcycle - I'll buy it, play around with it for a couple of seasons and then get bored. Not sure if I should pull the trigger on it

My relationship with my boyfriend is that we are like brothers. I haven't had penetrative sex with him in, like, a year. Sure, he gives me blowjobs, but even that's once every month or so.

I get my outlet with porn but I wish it wasn't that way. Either I fuck other dudes on the down low or leave him. But he is intelligent and we love ridiculing the same things and have fun together in other ways.

I suppose I love him, in some roundabout way, but I'd still see having sex with another guy as cheating. And if I left him, I'm worried I'll regret it, cause it's IMPOSSIBLE to find intelligent, interesting gay guys on a dating level and not just to fuck, I think I'd miss that

There's a lot of things which feel like MS pain which are vascular, there's a lot of neurological conditions which affect the nerves in your torso first which isn't that common a starting point in MS, there's a couple blood disorders that could cause either vascular or nerve pain from heat, there's inflammatory conditions, and you could always have cancer, a whole wide range of cancers. It's really not specific to MS. But you should also find out what it is so you know how to deal with it, whether it's MS or something completely different. It's way too nonspecific for MS to be top of your list though, and MS is getting increasingly treatable.

Overdose. I posted about this before so I don't want to do it again. I suffered from cardiovacular damage, but it wasn't diagnosed. When I was released from the cardiac ICU I was told to go for a check up once I managed to get insurance because of possible kidney/heart damage. I never bothered, never got insurance either. I have, however, had a family friend check my vitals (he works in medicine) a few times. My blood pressure average 140/100 and resting heart rate is 90BPM. Not too bad, but it's combined with a lot worse.

The symptoms are getting a lot worse, though. I haven't told my family, but they've been noticing that I look extremely unwell, despite the fact that I put an extensive amount of effort into maintaining an appearance of health.
Three months ago, my mother visited for holiday stuff. A few weeks ago she did again, and when she saw me she gave me a strange stare for ten or so seconds before asking
>What did you do to your hair?!
I didn't know what she was talking about, so I gave an excuse about not taking a shower recently (A lie, I take one per day without fail). I looked in the mirror and sure enough, I have a greatly receding hairline that started ONLY two months ago. I know it wasn't this way before then. It makes sense because I've been waking up with clumps of hair on my bed, and when I take showers, there is an unusual amount of hair everywhere. I had gotten so used to my horrific, decrepit appearance that I didn't notice the random bald spots and wispy hair on my head...
Well, this is just one issue. Now they're noticing more. It's so tiresome.

I'm reading Kafka's Metamorphosis and it really feels like I'm turning into a vermin. No, I always felt that way inside. but now it feels like I'm becoming it physically in a way that is absolutely true to the meaning of "vermin" or "monster."

I made the same awful decisions Oba Yozo did. I had so many opportunities and gifts that I never deserved, I had a few women (despite my lifelong ugliness) show actual romantic interest in me, I was forgiven and not prosecuted for a reckless crime, I by some chance got the greatest therapist I could ever imagine (who, when I began lying to get out of the hospital to commit the suicide attempt that would destroy my heart, told me she didn't believe I was getting better and to remain in hospital), and every time I ran away out of some unnamable fear:
>The weak fear happiness itself. They can harm themselves on cotton wool. Sometimes they are wounded even by happiness. I was impatient to leave her while things still stood the same, before I got wounded, and I spread my usual smokescreen of farce.
People tend not to understand Yozo's constant running from responsibility, but I truly, honestly do. I know if I could do it over again, healthy, at the age of eighteenー I would kill myself while I could still be pitied. :l I can't be reformed and I never could.

I guess the fact that it was the gradual, logical progression of elements of feudalism makes it harder to see as a revolution.

I've been there many times, but I've always returned dejected and full of more self-hatred than I could imagine. It's not that low of a fall, but there is a possibility to survive and, because of my previous extremely unlikely survival, I have an extreme fear and even terror of improbably surviving a suicide attempt and being locked into an unimaginable level of suffering.

I think that’s because if you really study the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, you find there’s actually a good amount of overlap. What would become modernity definitely started to get off the ground in the Renaissance but it actually wasn’t that mainstream and it wasn’t that severe. You should read Alexis de Tocqueville. The political revolutions and subsequent Industrial Revolution really are the most significant events. They drastically changed everything.

I guess revolution was a poor choice of words, literary culture retained some aristocratic trappings as long as until WW2, but the fact remains that practically every step from the renaissance on is a step away from the medieval and a step towards the modern, while medieval culture did not transform as much as it withered away in favor of the modern.

>The political revolutions and subsequent Industrial Revolution really are the most significant events

Political revolutions and other shifts in political power are without exceptions distillations of economic shifts in power, just as culture is downstream from politics and by proxy economics - whoever rules politics and economics also dictates culture and its norms.

The event which happens when an emergent elite clamoring for more power, wealth and influence challenges an established elite is what we call a revolution.

I strongly identify with being an NPC.
Actually you know who I like? Arthur Rimbaud. I've never read a single thing from him. I'm not French. But his artistic and creative side basically shut off like a switch when he hit adulthood. The 2nd half of his life gets shit on by literary types.
I feel like that happened to me. But I was never an artist worth a shit, I never had an eventful life, I never had a relationship, and my adult life is empty at least Rimbaud had a cool non artistic life.

I think its funny and stupid that so many people obsess over his first 20 years of life and one relationship he had and then scorn the rest of him.

I sometimes regret not joining the military, but I would have had to have got a college degree first to be an officer and the war in Afghanistan was pretty much wound down by the point I graduated from college. I guess I wish I went to graduate school or something, probably somewhere far away from where I’m from.

These guys never say what their actual problem is because it basically just amounts to feeling bad all the time for no real reason. Like >>23175531 is a perfect example. So he had opportunities and chances with women he "didn't deserve," he was forgiven by someone he wronged instead of having his life ruined, and even while in distress he had someone looking out for him. But for reasons that remain opaque, rather than just be thankful for his good luck this guy feels bad about all this, maybe even feels guilty, as if anybody truly "deserves" anything.

It's real. I didn't realize just how much I have let my social life atrophy, because of my girlfriend and professional life. My friends and I have moved to different cities, and the ones that I have made are just as wrapped up in their professional life.

But what drives me nuts, is that those social institutions, that are supposed to be there to create social connection, make is so hard.

Try joining a sports league, social group, volunteer organization. No one picks up the phone or answer emails.

I tried volunteering. Something I still want to do, and its damn near impossible, because no one knows where to go, who to call and when to show up to organize anything. I wanted to give time on sunday to help people, and I just end up following up by email. It feels like a sales job sometimes.

Anyways, tldr. I want to be more social, to volunteer and do something good. Get stuck in beauracratic disasters.

If we go by what psychiatrists would say, it would likely be "adverse childhood experiences." I think that's the only real explanation for how I turned out this way, but I think saying something like that is reductionist and too convenient as an excuse. I know I'm in control of my actions regardless, but I'm not in control of the feelings that I experience. For example, I can't do anything about the intense discomfort I have when someone is capable of contacting me. I know that's a strange thing to say, but the mere possibility that someone could call or visit me makes my blood feel cold and gives me constant anxiety.

The feeling I had when a woman gave me a Christmas gift was very similar to the feeling one gets when they look down from a high place— cold chills, literal dizziness, vertigo, fear, and the "call of the void." I almost puked, and I couldn't stand looking at the object. I decided to ghost her by attempting suicide desu, but that was because she was getting too close to me. There was no thought that provoked these feelings, by the way. It was as natural as the sensation of touch.

So a better answer besides blaming it all on a past (which is weak) is that my brain is simply broken and I am happy for no reason at all, like you said. :/

I am a thirty-one-year-old virgin. I have had three women in my bed naked ready to fuck but I was always to drunk to get hard; porn addiction, constantly beating my dick, and being fucked in the head didn't help either. I had a seventeen-year-old beautiful Puerto Rican sucking on my flaccid cock in the barracks and eventually I just had to tell her to stop. She said that had never happened before. I was in a an actress's apartment and couldn't get hard enough to penetrate her. I blamed the cocaine and left and never talked to her again. She was furious that I ghosted her, because we had had a very personal tête-à-tête and seemed to make a real connection. She sent me a lot of text messages later, which I deleted immediately so I didn't have to read them.
I had a girlfriend in high-school, she pursued me initially, and I was so anxious about it once we started 'dating' I couldn't even eat. I don't even remember her name. I don't remember how we broke-up. I don't remember any of these girls names. What the fuck is wrong with me? Something is wrong with me. I think I'm going to kill myself.

That’s still impressive. I think short stories can be difficult because you have to be economical and length matters. Short stories are like rooms. Novels are like houses. I guess it depends on the novel. Infinite Jest is like a neighborhood.

People usually say that for women sex is more mental than physical but I feel like that undersells how much of sex is also mental for men. I'd be willing to bet that in terms of overall experience the pleasure of being validated as a man and the mental thrill of dominating a woman sexually form a much bigger part of the overall enjoyment than the physical sensation of sex does.

You could go as far as to say that sex is more mental for men than it is for women because men possess only a tiny fraction of the capacity for pleasure compared to women. But women do not know the insatiable lust for power and domination that men feel because their sexuality is fundamentally reactive rather than proactive. They wouldn't know what such a craving feels like. So really men may have sex with their dicks but the sex they have is more for their ego than their balls, because the latter can be taken care of by hand, but the former cannot.

I’m really not certain where it started. I can try and pinpoint. Childhood. Bits and pieces rearranged again and again to signify something probably meaningless after all anyways. The time your sibling taught you how to hump a pillow and how to touch that wet cavernous slit. The other time a parent caught on to something and you were told you can go to jail for making yourself feel good when you were ten or eleven. How wouldn’t that scare the shit out of a kid? Walking a girl home after school in the winter and roughly taking her virginity and being the first to enter her, blood and all. Year or two later inviting her over to a friends place and both fucking her like a stray bitch in heat. You feel the intentions rising. The will to push boundaries, see how far you can go and what you can get away with. Him behind her and you with your foot on her face, sticking your foot in her mouth and telling her to repeat that she’s a bad girl with your sweaty feet halfway down her throat. Repeated again and again. Grandmother outside the room it’s 4am and she’s screaming for us to keep it down. Work in an hour or something like that. Things come to an end and she leaves abruptly, is kicked out and she goes home to fall asleep and text her boyfriend good mornings in a couple of hours. You remember how good it felt to exact your dominance and teenage angst on her body. How much further could you go with the next girl? The uncomfortableness becomes what’s comfortable and familiar. End game not to cum but to know yourself and understand what makes you human and not so much human. Knowing a part of her will deeply regret this and feel shame and another smaller part of her will need it some more. Somehow rationalizing the abuse. Thinking of it when she’s with the one that can’t keep up. , but it will happen another time and another place with another partner. After all it’s always about wanting more and not getting enough. When is enough, enough?

I realize the truth of how WW2 disrupted all historical movement and intellectual theory. The West did a complete 180. The white man decided to decolonize and surrender much of his power. The roadmaps of the future outlined by people like Marx and Nietzsche were actually ruined by the war. No one saw the war coming in the way that it did, in that it was a decisive triumph of liberalism and capitalism. All of the cultural/intellectual strands that were going on before the war were shafted. Tons of writers, thinkers and artists were thrown in the dustbin. Everything in society was carefully remade in the image of liberalism’s victory. And most of all the West restricted itself

I tried to be the spontaneous lightweight unconcerned guy who can respectfully approach women who pique my interest and be ready to accept whatever might happen, and while I felt good about it the first couple of times, I think it's beginning to become seriously burdensome. I still feel lingering heartaches over getting rejected, and have a growing internal embarrassment over my fixation on these girls in my daily life coupled with the streak of rejections, as opposed to being ''confident''. I've conducted myself very well so far, and never got humiliated or insulted or laughed at or anything of that sort, but the fact that I can't even contain myself anymore and have to chase the next rush, continuing this search for a supposed ideal, is ultimately juvenile and low. I'm not even looking to get laid -I've walked away from those kinds of easy girls- I just want a trustful conversation with a gentle good-hearted woman and listen to her silly stories while she listens to mine, and a nice hug.
There's this one girl whom I really liked the most out of all the ones I've encountered. Her odd, doll-like looks grabbed me, but it's her genuine, oblivious sensitvity and her willingness to help others that took me down with a leg sweep. After a string of exchanges on social media, I got over-enthusiastic and asked her if we could have a penpalship sort of deal and send each other letters, and it's been radio-silence ever since. Well, she initially sent a confused yes, and when I offered to explain things further and ask about how her preferences regarding the arrangement, I've been ignored. It's been a while now, and I still feel awful about it, probably because I've made her out to be something more transcendent than she really is.
I wasn't always like this. My ex-gf gave me a taste of this bitter honey, and it kept lurking around in my soul ever since. Once I've (sort of) moved on from the breakup, I've been on this run.
Reading all of this neurotic bullshit out again makes me want to smash my head against the wall, because it sounds like a 17 year old's diary, but the truth is I've been feeling like a teenager once again because of this b.s, and my heart is more active than it's been in quite some time. Sending this out into the ether is probably healthier than keeping it festering inside for longer, with the added benefit of outsider perception of these really minor events. I have to grow out of this fixation before it's too late. Taking stiff lariats for a hotdog and a handshake might be the way to getting a clue.

My deepest confession on this anonymous image board is that I occasionally have moments of intimacy with my sister. Not sexual, not romantic, but at least as an expression of love. We’re both quite lonely and hardly go out. She’s cute but shy. We understand each other very well. We were always close in our lives and never argued or bickered. She’s always been the dearest person to me. So in 2020, locked in our houses and struggling with bouts of despair, we started cuddling to comfort each other. And since then we occasionally have nights of this cuddling, hugging, hand-holding and kissing on the cheek. And no matter how much I’m disgusted with myself in this arrangement I always look forward to these nights where we both feel upset and decide to embrace each other.

It impacted how that saw the chat, but that was fine. I don't think I really got anything from it. I regret it as a waste of time, but I made sure to thank them repeatedly to hopefully make sure they are happy with their work. It's not their fault.

I ended after (I am sure) they tried to tacitly end the conversation by asking if I had a counselor, because 988 was for "in the moment" assistance (which is true of course) and to them I wasn't suicidal.

Do you think I'll miss out on much by reading a translation?

That's unironically what I did. They didn't seem to suspect anything, I'm assuming because the vast majority of people choose "very upset," "depression," and "Recent suicidal thoughts," and why the hell would anyone lie when it gets them more attention?

I went described how I was dying, my life was over, I was essentially terminally ill, my hair was falling out in patches and I couldn't get out, I quoted Kafka and called myself vermin and so on. They were likely rolling their eyes, kek. At least they were probably entertained to some degree. I'll kill myself soon anyway. (If I'm not a faggot)

>psychotherapeutic "look inside yourself" babble
>it is entirely rational for blah blah blah
Do you not realize that your reasoning here, based purely on logic and supposition (i.e. "yep, that seems logical"), is the foundation for why the kind of Freudian talk therapy you're disparaging is now widely seen as a discredited form of psychological treatment? If you're going to have strong opinions on something — ESPECIALLY if you're going to promote pseudoscience — it would really behoove you to know what you're talking about in even the slightest way.

I made an actual point with logic you could respond to, if you chose to. That you immediately retreated to BUZZWORDING BUZZWORD BUZZWORDING is probably emblematic of something or another. Try detaching your ego from the discussion. You might learn something once in a while!

I don't reccomend it, to put it less harshly. It's mostly staffed with women and they usually don't try to resolve your problem but rather keep you paying for as many sessions as possible.
Aside from that, introspection should be a deeply personal matter between you and your own soul, not some effette, grey, vaguely gay academician.

I didn't even disagree with the general gist of your post. You are correct about addiction generally, and the futility of nofap. My only problem was your suggestion of heckin' therapy as a cure. Addiction is a physical problem with a physical root cause and physical solution

Yesterday I made eye contract with a cute girl on the train. It lasted about a second before I looked away. It gave me a boner. If I ever manage to get a gf it's gonna be rough dealing with this problem.

>Addiction is a physical problem with a physical root cause and physical solution
It's a mental problem with root causes that almost always trace back to unprocessed traumas with a solution that, yes, involves physically abstaining from drugs, but unless you are referring to the physical machinations of the brain, I struggle to see any way in which the solution is purely physical. The common thread (per addicts themselves) is that their addiction is something that sticks with them through their whole lives; that being free from the substance does not mean they will ever be fully safe from falling back into addiction.

Who the fuck said "cure" in this conversation? Are you wholly incapable of discussing anything that's even slightly nuanced without reducing everything into a set of maxims?

They expect most people to just read the headline, and in most cases, they're right. It's like that snopes article
>Did Joe Biden use the N-word while in Congress?
>SNOPES FACT CHECK: FALSE
And then, if you read past the headline, the very first sentence is
>While it's true that Biden did say the N-word while in Congress...
it's fucking bonkers.
