Epicurean simplicity and a rudimentary understanding of Nietzschean (by way of Pippi Longstockings & /lit/) and Stirnerist (by way of Feminister & /lit/) teachings.
I faced my personal existential crisis and accept the insignificance and meaninglessness of myself and my people. But I assign myself a purpose in life, and it's simply to perpetuate and improve upon it
It's Quixotic.

I leave in a week and half. I'll have to wait and see about coming back some time. I think I'd have a story or two ready perhaps.

I think absurdism is overall a somewhat defensible position from a logical standpoint but not really from a standard of life standpoint.

I respect the conclusions of nihilism and understand the inclination to resort to hedonism in absence of any higher meaning but telling yourself lies by believing in an actual moral system or the values of a society is porbably going to benefit you more in the long run.

You would do well to remember that happiness is not simply indulging every whim or subjugating others. Genuine human connection and social cohesion can also be valuable assets in life even within the context of the absurdist lifestyle.

same. /lit/ needs some more feminists and some pro-gender/race politics leftists. the balance has shifted too much toward the anti-SJWs, which im a part of so is okay with me, but we could use some more variety.

There are a lot of us here who're from families that preceded the advent of the modern form of identity politics, who're resentful of the schisming between groups that by all rights ought to be working together for common goals even if they are apart on others.

One of my friends recently put it simply as, 'there are two certainties in life - leftist infighting and taxes.' Less original than Big Benny Frank, Holler at the Bank's original quotation, but pretty much true regardless.

She does come to the aid of the weak. Intimidating a bully and saving kids from a fire. She's not irresponsible in her fun pursuits
Google is being a bitch, so I can't find the essay someone made on it.

> 'marital rape'
Protip, illiterate fuckface: if rape is sex without consent, then there is no such thing as 'marital rape'. You gave consent when you signed that marriage license, and you can only revoke it with a divorce.

>> No.7125707

>>7125684
Can't find it either, all the links seem to be dead and I can't read the Swedish on that one site.

Its funny, I used to have a childhood friend who reminded me of her who would act the same way and she would get into all sorts of trouble because of it.

I think a lot of children protagonists have similar traits but stop at certain things like disobeying their parents.

fuck rape statistics are retarded. apparantely it's the most unreported crime (how do they know that?), and yet between 10-18% of women have been raped?

that's bullshit. I would hink it's more like 1 in 15-1/20 for females, and 1/35-1/60 for males
