WampaLord posted:I dunno, I can't picture an optimistic nihilist. nihilism, specifically existential nihilism which is what most people are talking about when they just say nihilism, is the idea that life is ultimately pointless. from there if you get all sadbrains and watch anime reruns constantly or shrug your shoulders and go on living the life you want to live without the expectation of reward, higher meaning, or some kind of external satisfaction aside from the pleasure you personally derived in that moment, is up to you. happy nihilists don't go around moping and whining about everything being pointless this is the same reason why people associate atheists with hating christianity. atheists who don't hate christianity or other organized religions generally don't go around talking about atheism as frequently, they just live their lives boner confessor fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Dec 14, 2016 |

I thought the true point of nihilism was being freed by there not being some outside force that dictates the universe. As in, I thought it was a positive thing because it was something that allows you to to live without the burden of constantly wondering how he universe functions and whatnot. But hey then again my sad brains brother in law has latched on all the nihilist memes that are basically just about depression and suicide E: beaten

Fullhouse posted:woah I didn't know I was a nihilist a lot of people don't because they're not looking for excuses to sit around waiting for their life to get magically better. "oh when the revolution comes, america is made great again, and anime is real i will sieze my true destiny as a hard working and charming pussy crusher but woe is me, life is pointless so i cannot do that right now". basically if you agree with the statement that life is short and then you die, game over, no moral then congrats you're a nihilist 54 40 or gently caress posted:I thought the true point of nihilism was being freed by there not being some outside force that dictates the universe. As in, I thought it was a positive thing because it was something that allows you to to live without the burden of constantly wondering how he universe functions and whatnot. yep. "there's no meaning to life, quit worrying about it and just go live your life the way you want to" and there's no actual expectation that you're supposed to be all sad about this idea versus liberated from the expectation that you have to live a life of hardship to make god happy or whatever. you can do what you want, it's your life and the clock is ticking

I think for a lot of people, nihilism is depressing because they had never considered the fact that they don't matter and never have, their actions don't matter and never have, and their social interactions don't matter and never have. Then they come to the conclusion that all of these things and everything else will amount to nothing at all, ever. This is upsetting to people for some reason.

This is upsetting to people for some reason. for some people maybe, because there's still this idea very prevalent in the western world at least that your good behavior and adherence to religious doctrine can be cashed in for fabulous eternal rewards later. this is why some people purposely mix up existential nihilism and moral nihilism, and get real freaked out that "if god won't call you to heaven for good works then what is the point of being good? why not just murder people if hell doesn't exist" because some folks really need some external structure and order for their lives to make sense but dude in the story was totally just latching on to nihilism as a plausible sounding excuse for why it's ok for him to mope around the house. i mean if that's how you want to spend your short existence then go for it i guess but it's not noble or smart to do so, it's just lazy and sad

There is a difference between "existence has no greater purpose or meaning" and "your actions don't matter and never have". Your actions still have an effect in the world even if the world does not have a "meaning".

I'm pretty much a positive, optimistic nihilist these days. It's actually relieving to know that outside of my brief moments available on this earth, I'll have little impact outside those I know and love. There's no burden to perform, so I can be free to do the best I can.

Hot Smart ARYAN Girl posted:"excuses for depression" i mean, the guy is self sabotaging by quitting therapy in favor of complaining via memes on the internet. people rationalize all kinds of bad behavior like "it's pointless for me to address my mental illness which i know i have head on because nothing matters" because displacing your life problems onto a philosophy outside of your control is oddly not nihilistic actually now that i think about it lol and yeah the guy is waiting for a magic reality to fix his life. he's waiting for communism to displace the capitalist system which is holding him down. surely he wouldn't be such a self destructive lump if bernie-sama had won the presidency boner confessor fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Dec 15, 2016 |

Yeah I get that, but ive had trouble in the past seperating them and some other people dont seek out the treatment that has helped me do exactly that. It's easy to go from "existence has no meaning" to "MY existence has no meaning" to "my existence, due to a lack of meaning, does not matter" and so on. Healthy brains probably don't make that leap very often, but in my experience with depression it isn't exactly a hard jump to make when you aren't actively fighting it.

Socialism is great, and Bernie is both cool and good, but yeah I have noticed an unusually high likelihood for hardcore Soviet-style communists to also coincidentally be white people in their 20s whose parents pay their rent all "I shouldn't have to get a job because the system is evil *calls parents to ask for more anime money*"

Also, I feel like people forget that, when a major system collapses, there is a lot of chaos and turmoil until a new system takes its place. Countries that go through violent and bloody revolution, not only do they have the revolution, but years of hosed up poo poo they need to work through while things settle down and the Winner puts down the dissenters.

Accidental incest girl updated:quote:WELP. Things kind of suck worse than ever. Because the vast majority of you were so supportive, we decided to tell his mom and stepmom. It went horribly. They disowned him and cut him off; which is a huge loving problem since they were paying for a portion of our apartment. Maybe should've taken the DNA test before assuming his mom would share a reaction with a bunch of internet shut-ins.
