basically dumb nerds who have no intention of really understanding his philosophy use an elementary interpretation of what he's saying to defend childish beliefs that protect their ego.

are you implying that the politics ramblings are the authentic "message" of stirner?. because is pretty obvious this is his philosophy. this are the implications of what he said, and he knows it.

>to defend childish beliefs that protect their ego.
literally there is nothing bad or biased in this.

I got memed into reading Ego and its Own. Stirner's just a second rate Young Hegelian with terrible prose. On the plus side, Engels made a sique sketch of him. All told I'd give Max a 4/10.

sad man who had no mates so he couldn't figure out what phenomenology was so he just became self obsessed.

his ideas are actually really decent when taken alongside the works of people like fourier and proudhon. theyre the kind of things that amalgamate with other ideologies well.

Thanks for this. Finally I get to see what all this spook shit is from the horse's mouth.

At a glance, with all his insouciance and snark, and btfo attitude, he seems like the original fedora guy, albeit much more learned and stylish than the typical fedora. Although his observation that "cheerfulness in Catholic life must perish in this Protestant legality" smacks a little of Chesterton.

He's a caricature of an extreme alarmist, who believes any mention of any ideology is an attempt to scare him into believing in something, as fear is cited as the #1 tool of recruiting people to participate in a cause. This is of course partly true but he takes it to absurd levels by deeming every viewpoint or philosophy ever as an attempt at this, or a "spook," and thus engages solely in egoism; or a never-ending sense of self-indulgence dictated purely by his own subjective whims and beliefs.

Stirner was a prankster who wrote an incoherent philosophy (on several occassions pointing to the stupid oppressive limitations of language, insert my tears here) which can be interpreted to say that you are free to enjoy the privilege of fools/sociopaths/schizophrenics if only you allow yourself to be one.
