You girls have never been attracted to me. I don't know why you girls aren't attracted to me, but I will punish you all for it. It's an injustice, a crime, because...

dude, every man in some capacity thinks every single woman on earth who is not related to him "should" want to have sex with him and only him.

"should" and "ought" are very grey area words because in modern English they don't really get used as "must"; that is unless someone is slamming someone who used the words.

"You should not make sexist jokes at this school function" is not the same as "you must not make sexist jokes at this school function" even though they are technically synonymous.

in my own honest oppinion you should realize the language has changed for these words and that they ought to not be thought of as hardlinded as must.

More than that, his values totally revolve around women. For him you literally cannot be a man if women don't give you approval, he would rather have been dead than have continued existing without the approval of women and that's exactly what happened.

Nice take on the problem, but Rodger's issue was not respecting consent too much (was should have he done instead ? rape someone ?), it was basing his ego on the abstract approval of girls that didn't knew him and that he did nothing positive to get to know. It's not a sex problem, I doubt the guy even had that much of a sex drive, else he could have settled for a prostitute. It's an ego problem. That's guy psyche was entirely consumed by a roaring, relentless, ravenous ego.

Honestly, the whole Elliott Rodgers thing hit me pretty hard. I saw flaws in him that I realized I had, albeit to a lesser extreme. The book is also pretty good, and if it were marketed and published as fiction it would probably sell a lot of copies.

Except for the "/lit/ is jelly" comment I agree. The youtube videos, the forum comments, the novel. If he wasn't insane this would have gone down as a genius marketing strategy for his novel. In a sense it's what sincerity means. So many writers criticize the world or their culture and claim to be madnen or at least write about madmen in a way that seems realistic, but often they fall flat (I'm thinking Saul Bellow's "Dangling Man" etc), but this is so real that it's hard not to take seriously.

What I dislike about this whole deal is that the usual response is (1) it happened because he was mentally ill; and therefore (2) society's fault was not enough control and surveillance.
So basically (1) let's not analyze why, how, and where he got his values and ideas from and (2) let's just everybody get more paranoid about everybody in order to catch those few crazies among us.
And if you cook really long then this whole thing approaches (3) let's start treating all those young losers like they're potential future psychos so that they start to think they actually might be.

There must be something in western youth culture that creates ego so large it totally inverts any self-consciousness into a sunstroke of reactionary thought.

/pol/-type people who spout things like "degenerate" at everything are perhaps victims of this. They are aware of changes and patterns in society but lack the ability to decipher any causality from it leading them to buy into their base human fear of change.

I think its sad that this kind of thinking is what lead to the destruction of the Right, especially in the UK and US. What was once a group of (albeit imperialist) traditionalists became a rabid gaggle of pseudo-religious ideologues with allegiance only to the highest bidder.

This isn't even true, sex wasn't his goal. As he points out himself he doesn't know shit about sex experientially speaking and thinks of it as "barbaric", he develops a complex against the very idea of sex.

Well for start there are at least two main things:
>constant talk about your self and personality and shit, sometimes even in a bit psychiatric way, but also about one's physique that is an essential part of that "deep self"
>constant talk structured around loser/winner dichotomies: it's all competition, and what you must absolutely achieve is to not be a loser via some sort of approval (get laid at a certain age, consume this and that, do this and that, depending roughly on the subculture you're in and your age)
So if you combine the two you basically get the idea that one is a loser by nature or born a loser, it is inscribed in the core of who you are as a person. So all your problems get reeeally personal, everything is your own personal failure. Bird shitting once on your jacket? It was a part of your personality all along, and it's embarrassing precisely because the event discloses something about you.
It's becoming really really tough to suffer through this, since you ultimately want to be a winner. Oh yes, you really want to be a winner, you daydream about it. You do shit like listening to bands and imagining yourself playing on the stage. The gap between reality and your fantasy is pure torture.
Now let's throw in some good old western blame-game, combing it with the idea of that mentioned competition and you get resentment towards the winners, attaching yourself to stupid ideas that legitimize the resentment (e.g. some form of sexism but often also a hatred towards some subculture).
You end up with Rodger's famous and repeating cry: "it's not fair!" - "I'm not really a loser, the competition isn't fair; there are winner that are "given sex" as an approval of their worth, but I don't because the system isn't playing properly." So you gotta make it fair, but because you can't really do shit about it you start thinking about revenges to ease your pain.

Entropy is a universal thing right? I feel that a lot of people see "collapse" as something that is finite, something that has an ending. But its a cycle of societal change, as something gets "worse" in one place it gets "better" somewhere else.

What if this is all just shifting social norms.

We get psychopaths like Elliott because they are remnants of old/redundant ideology and do not realize that they are merely victims of changes in society beyond their control. We have a well-off person who has every opportunity to achieve a lot, but the internal combat with their own perceived world is turned to romanticism and then extremism.

Oh please, degeneracy is a real phenomenon whether your retarded ideology wants to acknowledge it or not. It is, in fact, the case that contemporary Western society is insanely degenerate, is getting more degenerate, and has so far managed to mask the symptoms of degeneracy with technological progress.

You're right, but remember that Don Quixote draws its tropes for a largely unrealistic genre (the chivalry novel, that Don Quixote effectively killed), and that a lot of love stories in Ancient Greece are tragic, doomed, or about male companionship were close friendship is not well distinguished from romantic love.

>>6183004
Judging from this thread, it's not the case on /lit at least (and you could expect most /litizens who identify with Rodger to jump on a thread like this).

A lot of people feel close to Elliot in some respect (I do, even though I think his whole take on relationship is disastrous from the get-go and even though I never considered I was entitled to a girlfriend) while no identifying with him. That's because the guy was entangled in a large problem (changing sexual habits, with loads of marketing and an image culture thrown in the bunch) we're all concerned with to some extent. Now that doesn't mean we can't see how mislead he was. The guy almost turned himself into a comic-book villain, and you could probably learn something about the culture that bred this by reading his book.

After leaving De La Salle College, he attended Avondale Secondary Alternative School, which allowed him to obtain an education while working as an actor. He later dropped out and did not obtain a high school diploma.[23]

>Reeves set up a cancer charity, choosing not to attach his name to the organisation; he has also supported PETA, the SickKids Foundation and Stand Up To Cancer. His sister Kim has battled leukemia for more than a decade.[45][46]
Reeves gave US$80 million of his US$114 million earnings of The Matrix sequels, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, to the special effects and makeup staff. He is quoted as saying ″Money is the last thing I think about. I could live on what I have already made for the next few centuries.″[47]

Like I said, read Guenon. If you haven't even bothered to engage with the main traditionalist philosophers, why are you trying to have a conversation about degeneracy and traditionalism?

while beginning my glorious future in the military, during one class of technical training, our instructor left for a while, and everyone fell asleep. i went to the restroom to masturbate to the thought of this qt i met in basic training. her last name was wagner, and wagner confessed to me during the walk back of one of our expeditionary treks. said she had a husband back home, and that i was amazing to her. such a confusing memory, since i was too nervous to perform my duties well at all and skipped out on work whenever possible. anyway, i returned from the restroom, refreshed from my fap, and there was this top brass general guy, a big scary jarhead-type, yelling at my fellow classmates in the classroom. holy shit. i was too afraid to even enter the room, but he saw me through the door-window and did a 'come here' gesture with his index finger. i was made class leader, got free snacks, and delegated all my duties afterwards to my classmates. plenty of awards and such were added to my record as a result of fapping in the restroom.

Great use of the unreliable narrator technique. I constantly had to think: Is Elliot telling the truth? Is he intentionally lying about his experiences or is he genuinely too crazy to see what's going on?

When I read books by BEE, Liar's Poker, and watch movies like Goodfellas and The Wolf of Wall Street, there's always a condemnation of these cool characters that do bad things while enjoying it. It was a nice change to read a book about a loser looking in to the fun / hedonism and desiring it, rather than a book about someone in the centre of it who ends up hating it / having their downfall caused by it.

You're a bit soft. That comment is also not that shallow when you think about it (people here use the diagnosis of "degeneracy" for identification like others do with consumer outlets, but I'm drifting).

> why are you trying to have a conversation about degeneracy and traditionalism?

As I said, I'm not trying to have a conversation about degeneracy and traditionalism. Just curious about what are the kind of things that pass for "degenerate" nowadays, and how those who embrace that diagnosis talk about it. I expected the usual frustrated rant but you're almost the opposite, refusing to do any explanation past the namedropping.
It's very strange, sounds like what a confident and slightly haughty 20-ish person, or a perhaps a weary 30+ish person would do. If I had to guess, I'd say you're either a driven and successful undergraduate/less than two years into grad school student or a disillusioned teacher with too much bad teaching experiences (that is to say the former ten years after making the mistake going into teaching with too high expectations).

I remember the name Guénon nonetheless, though that's not a surprising one.

>If you came into a Hegel thread without having read Hegel, I wouldn't bother trying to explain his viewpoint to you, I would tell you to fuck off and read Hegel.

That would be a great way to discourage people from engaging with Hegel. You should make sure to avoid ending in a teaching position anywhere else that grad school.

If you have a very shallow, vindictive mind then yes, that's all there is to it. However, its these haughty condemnations of the mentally ill which drive me to think of people like yourself as simply pigeon holing real, complex people into caricatures, so that you can process them and ignore them easier. Eliot Rogers was faced with this aspirational image of what he had to do or be to have any kind of worth, just like you or me. At some point, he was presumably a 'normal', albeit neurotic, person, whose isolation fostered these delusions. Of course, objectification was a critical element in theses delusions, but why did he objectify women? You say rape culture, that he was a virulent manifestation of a male social problem, I say that everything and everyone is objectified by everyone else, and that Eliot Rogers and you and the London riots and everything else are reflected in one another. My question is how it was possible that it got so bad, without anyone noticing or caring, even when he was telling people that he was going to kill folk. He had to have been, at least in part, correct. Not about women, but in his negative assessment of the people around him, and the environment he was in.

I'm surprise that on a board which fancies itself intelligent, there are 'leftists' who will condemn Eliot as a bitter virgin who only has himself to blame, naturally because he was a virgin, and a misog, which makes for the perfect whipping boy if you are a 'left winger'. Even better, I see already in the OP the kind of though processes which create Eliot Rogers, I see it all over this site. At least on /r9k/ they are open about it, rather than concealing it from themselves beneath layers of smug self-satisfaction.

You could literally bounce from party to party without knowing a single person, and it was probably the easiest environment for picking up women I've ever experienced in my entire life.

I concluded that women are flawed. There is something mentally wrong with the way their brains are
wired, as if they haven’t evolved from animal
-like thinking. They are incapable of reason or thinking rationally. They are like animals, completely controlled by their primal, depraved emotions and impulses. That is why they are attracted to barbaric, wild, beast-like men. They are beasts themselves. Beasts should not be able to have any rights in a civilized society. If their wickedness is not contained, the whole of humanity will be held back from advancement to a more civilized state. Women should not have the right to choose who to mate with. That choice should be made for them by civilized men of intelligence. If women had the freedom to choose which men to mate with, like they do today, they would breed with stupid, degenerate men, which would only produce stupid, degenerate offspring. This in turn would hinder the advancement of humanity. Not only hinder it, but devolve humanity completely. Women are like a plague that must be quarantined. When I came to this brilliant, perfect revelation, I felt like everything was now clear to me, in a bitter, twisted way. I am one of the few people on this world who has the intelligence to see this. I am like a god, and my purpose is to exact ultimate Retribution on all of the impurities I see in the world.

If you read the book you'll probably come to the conclusion that at least some of what he did is bullshit. Other characters consonantly mention that Bateman is too meek to be doing the things he's boasted, and the cop chase scene is just batshit. He also claimed to have murdered someone that was still alive. Despite his self described "incredible sexual prowess" he can only bang hookers, the frequency and number of killings he's claimed is way out there. The only scene that people say truly supports him killing anyone is him visiting the apartment of what's his face and talking with the landlady, but her apprehension could have been taken any number of ways. Him simply being awkward, him making her uncomfortable with his questioning, him possibly having been seen around the area a lot probably walking around or pacing, etc.

And he probably argued with the Chinese lady so much because his clothes WEREN'T dirty yet he kept insisting there was shit (blood) on them. At most he killed a couple of homeless men and maybe a couple of hookers.

I can't see what's wrong with telling the people close to you something that caused you distress when you were younger.

Your sexuality is contingent to your identity whether you like it or not.

I seem to recall he also bangs his fiance and her best friend on the side.
