“We are born into this time and must bravely follow the path to the destined end. There is no other way. Our duty is to hold on to the lost position, without hope, without rescue, like that Roman soldier whose bones were found in front of a door in Pompeii, who, during the eruption of Vesuvius, died at his post because they forgot to relieve him. That is greatness. That is what it means to be a thoroughbred. The honorable end is the one thing that can not be taken from a man.”
― Oswald Spengler, Man and Technics: A Contribution to a Philosophy of Life

You're a fucking idiot, you're describing the hedonist position. How is it 'cucked' to uphold the ideal of greatness as you watch the world crumble around you?

>> No.9196382

>>9196363
Because the Blackpill isn't about holding any ideal of greatness
It's accepting that anything that you do is pointless, it's surrender

The heroic option is to try anyway

the "black pill" is functionally identical to the red pill except you aren't retarded enough to delude yourself into optimism.

not that it isn't beneficial to be deluded - retards have always been an exceptionally hardy bunch (something something r/K selection theory)

Except "Everyone has failed, but i won't" is crucial to staying motiavated and disciplined

le blackpill is in itself a delusion, since its a way for you to feel connected to a group.
True bravery, in this sense, is to know you are alone and you soldier on regardless because the act itself is important

your social group is your biological group, to a greater or lesser extent depending on how degenerate you already are. and being called marxist is nothing to be proud of; are you an ethno-communist norway worshipper?

It's interesting to see how some of his predictions such as on the decline of birthrates, and on immigration are presented, even if liberal democracy did survive against all odds in the twentieth-century. He was kind of a precursor of post-modernism.

A winner unsheaths their sword in the face of eruption, and slays every ounce of lava that comes their way; a winner does not let the fires of hell destroy their homeland
