Here's to the new us.
Our government is permanently gridlocked, the Overton window shifts closer to fascism everyday, global warming and the general rape of the environment will best-case lead to the collapse of modern civilization and worst-case lead to another major extinction event, and when humanity is gone it won't matter we'll just be replaced by bacteria that will survive the coming holocaust and evolve sentience in millions of years.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
So is this thread just for shitposting or can we actually talk about stuff? Cause I'm a nihilist and don't think it's any reason to get depressed or angsty about poo poo.

I plan to live forever, of course, but barring that I'd settle for a couple thousand years. Even 500 would be pretty nice.
Just my stupid 2 cents on God:
God wants us to be atheist. Yes, I know you just took a double take on that one, but hear me out:
When Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, it was a necessity that they be cast out into the world to actually learn Good and Evil through physical experience. Humans, being evolved from the physical world, are creatures of sense, and as the scientific method has shown us it is only through physical interaction with the universe through experience that we can gain the closest thing to objective truth. Only through experience can we truly understand the nature of reality. The sum total of human experience has been a learning process and our ever-expanding collection of knowledge and curiousity is in effect the process of becoming equals with God. In earlier times, humans clinged to religion like a child does to their parent because they were ignorant, and sought out guidance in supposed authority figures and idols.
The Enlightenment and the modern era have been a teenage phase for humanity, when we start to question God and his moral principles but stumble and hurt ourselves because we still lack knowledge. Absolving of God and of a predefined "purpose" to reality is the next step in our maturity, and it is at this point that we begin to reach out on our own and move out of the cradle of God's principles and holy words and begin to understand the mind of God himself (and his responsibilities as well). The increasing madness of hardline and conservative Christianity and its total departure from the teachings of Jesus is a sign that finding God through dogma alone is obsolete.
You can laugh now.
Edit: Nietzsche was a prophet.

Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia


also here's a stupid take

In my opinion things are pretty good and every human being has inherent value.

The Socialist Workers Party's newspaper proved to be a tough sell to downtown businessmen.
All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing.

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

Is there anything of which one can say, “Look! This is something new”? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time.

No one remembers the former generations, and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them.

Contrary to popular belief, entropy does not entail chaos; entropy can actually decrease disorder in certain conditions (crystals). Rather, entropy seeks absolute, perfect stillness, or death, like a clear pond at night.
Entropy is the negation of life and of vigor.

You mean you're an existentialist, in the way Nietzsche and Camus were existentialists. Sure, we can recognize that nihilism is the actual way of the universe because there is no god. But that doesn't mean we can't make our own meaning for ourselves and our lives. We can be our own god!

It's a trap to think there needs to be a God for reality to have inherent meaning.
E: Also Nietzsche hated nihilism and sought to destroy it.
