>read a guy that wants the Last Man World Order to become a reality

[Anonymous No.6519987]

>>6519959

I told him to read Kojeve because what he said was already more in line with Kojeve's appropriation of Hegelianism (not a dialectic, but dualism between master and slave) to a a pessimistic historicism and a nostalgia for the "age of mastery." When he brought up the concept of an individuated self, it brought to mind Woolf's "transcendental theory" of a collective self produced by the prevailing moments of "non-being" (first delineated in Mrs. Dalloway but present all the way up to the Waves, with the exception of Orlando). Of course, him bringing Hegel into a thread about princess points freaky pics is gonna provoke me to flex whatever muscles I have. I may have been reckless in wielding that knowledge (because after all, I'm not writing a fucking thesis here), and in doing so, misrepresented Hegel (which, by the way, is not all that hard to do). I'm totally with you on Kojeve being less derivative and more original in his thought, considering how his work relied heavily on Heidegger and Neitzsche, while secularizing and politicizing Hegel (past Hegel's own politics) to an enormous degree.

[Anonymous No.6519996]

>>6519979

He didn't want it to become a reality, he was thoroughly convinced that it was inevitable. He was a megalomaniac, and wanted to exert as much influence as he could with his intellectual prowess. With his contributions to the formation of the E.U., along with shaping many of the sentiments of Leo Strauss (who would go on to inform much of the American right's ideology), he managed to do so, dispelling the Hegelian notion that he often cited: "the owl of minerva spreads her wings at dusk."

[Anonymous No.6520005]

>along with shaping many of the sentiments of Leo Strauss
But Leo didn't think that the global End of History would be a good thing. He only thinks that an opressive regime(The City) as such would help the few enlightened individuals do philosophy.

>Leo didn't think the global end of history would be a good thing.

I don't see your contention here. Kojeve didn't either. If you're keying in on how Strauss didn't share the same romantic fatalism as Kojeve, I might be inclined to agree. You have to remember though, that Kojeve's innovation was not restricted to his end of history. His intuitive combination of elements borrowed from Hiedegger, Hegel, and Marx's materialism laid the foundation for existentialism and influenced the development of surrealism and oulipo. Shadia Drury argues, to some success, that he is responsible for the nature of postmodern politics to a certain degree. I'm not in complete disagreement with that, though I think her argument can be crude at times (a disconcerning amount of post hoc ergo propter hoc). Strauss was almost exclusively political while Kojeve's intellectual yoke extended from political philosophy into radical aesthetic movements, discernible in ultra-leftist politics AND fascist sentiments in the decades following his period of prominence.

[Anonymous No.6520689]

it's a very complex construction. the basic idea is that they are femanons that are just as crazy as your regular robot but hide it and are attractive enough to make it work. they abuse their parents with a system of points based on good behaving that is rigged in their favor because their parents are weak (occasionally 4channers themselves). You can see small details of pent up rage in the broken walls and carpets and lack of higiene in menstruation marks or used tampons.
They use their female superiority to make robots happy and then abuse and/or kill them (otherwise it's implied that it would get crazy in a very bad way with the broken stuf and so on), following the yandere archetype that hasn't been properly fleshed out by Japan yet.
In some pictures you can see the authors expanding in how the character plays her strenghts (>>6519797's mega mil shirt and wheelchair) while in others the focus is on the parental abuse (like OP's) but the secret filth aspect will remain subtle and universal.
A secondary item that I particularly love is the inspirational phrase pointing to the camera (and/or screen). While it tends to be a reflection of how girls behave in social media there are some cases in which the author takes time to think something that sounds supperficially generic while implying pretty nasty things. Double readings of the elements are a pretty common theme in this pictures and while characterized by that kind of lines you can related it to the whole work. I believe it carries the moral message that you should always pay attention to things to seem too good to be true and it shows that even when playing the role of the sick and useless piece of shit robots still retain a strong moral fiber.

What do the chicken tendies represent?

[Anonymous No.6521040]

>>6521008
It's part of the structural meme, originally a male robot would get good boy points and exchange them for "chicken tendies", usually with a following rage attack when the amount wasn't sufficient. This evolved to Pretty Princes Points and doing nasty female things (throwing used tampons to the parents having sex for example) and from there it was having sexual things with the father to earn a lot of PPP.
While chicken tendies are the basic need to eat turned converted to a childish form, so the abuse of it implies both gluttony and being incapable of growing up; the current form is more of a genre characteristic than a meaningful consideration.

anyway, it's robot9000 so its users refer to themselves as robots. it also helps with them feeling not human.

>>6521670
It's a pretty selective mix of (from more present to less even if it varies):
>arcanine users
>arcanine ideas of how women are
>female vlogers
>arcanine female users
The fact that they are always looking at the front, as if a webcam was taking them, is part of the vlogger spirit. In some cases I'm pretty sure there are some hidden references to particular internet celebrities. The idea of having text pointing to the reader also follows that logic.
But I think the most interesant element is that this female wojacks are representations of how robots wish they were if they were women, and the humiliating elements are just recognitions of how fake they would be if allowed to just turn into women.

that would be /m/ and its one of the greatest boards in this shit hole.

Originally arcanine had a filter that banned you for repeating a post or image, the idea was forcing OC. From that place some decent boards were born, the best obviously being the one you're posting in right now. When we left, together with /biz/, /pol/ (that sued to be /new/ anyways), /sci/, /adv/, and maybe something more, the place ended up as a hub for people complaining about their lives. It was a slow and painful dead.
Now the filter is lifted and it's just the depression board.

>>6521730
Not really, the closest you'll find are the articles in "know your meme" and "oh, internet" (such a horrible name, why did they expect to have better luck than with ED?), and those are mostly historical explanations.
/lit/ is the only place with grad students wasting their time so pathetically as to care about analyzing memes.
