-Harder job market/less security(less reason to have kids)
-Feminism(women prioritizing slaving away for some fat boss over prioritizing "slaving away" for a family)
-Multiculturalism (communities less connected, every tribe for themself, people don't give a fuk about anyone else).

Basically people, mostly young men are becoming isolated from society in which they most likely have more interaction via means such as the internet, media, video games, smart phones than they do with people face to face. just **** to make time go by in between their unfulfilling job/studies.

In our parents generations you would be astounded at just how closeknit just neighborhoods were. This was before multiculturalism were everyone is now of a different race, before third wave feminism hit, before social media hit. In 2016 you are lucky if your neighbor does so much as says "hi" to you.

everyguy I see has told me "lol im not fukn having a daughter no matter what". This attitude comes from a daughter being essentially a gift to a society where as a son can be molded in your views which stem from rebellion. noone sees current society as something they agree with or want to give back to. A country is always in better standing when there are more young women than men.

I don't see how multiculturalism is that big of an issue considering that there exists de facto segregation. Most neighborhoods are ethnically homogenous and there exist states that are predominantly White, such as Texas, which is 80% White.

Well meaning people itt are proposing religion, but that's exactly what the OP excluded. If you take away the struggle for survival, delusions of a higher being and today's endless distractions this is the conclusion most will come to. And it's not that some of us are wired differently or some are more enlightened than others.

We're need-machines. We're here for no reason, but while we're here we want to have our desires fulfilled. This is exactly why those people with a fulfilling life don't have these thoughts: Behause they don't have time to think.

The last man (German: der letzte Mensch) is a term used by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche in Thus Spoke Zarathustra to describe the antithesis of the imagined superior being, the bermensch, whose imminent appearance is heralded by Zarathustra.The last man is tired of life, takes no risks, and seeks only comfort and security. The term is a metaphor for the last human being or beings on Earth, who deny or have been denied their innate instinctive for power, and resort to life-denial, the opposite instinct of life-affirmation.The last man could only be spawn by their repression from other human cultures, and the disregard for natural selection. Unlike all man before him, last man would hold a willful ignorance to the reality (in the case of Nietzsche's hypothesis) that power is life, as well as a total disregard and ignorance to the laws of nature. The last man thrives on other-worldly ideas in order to beguile his survival on this-world. The metaphor is defined as, only that the occurrence of the last man could be so rare; only the most life-denying of such Earthly individuals would surely be the "last". Prior to all mankind before the last man; Last man claims that all cultures are by default egalitarian and that human nature is merely dynamic and pleasure-seeking.

Multicuturalism doesnt work. You dont see all the races mixing and have interracial groups of friends like the jew media tries to force down everyones throat. Its groups of ethnicities hanging out and helping only their ethnicity. Blacks hang out with blacks, mexicans hang out with mexican, white hang out with white. And when you cant tell someones race, you are drawn to the people with the same skin color as you.

In homogenous societies you dont have this problem. Its only been recently that the west has adopted this multicultural bull****. Like seriously, its only become mainstream in the last 20 years.

I don't know what you're talking about, but I see people both sticking to their own kind and intermingling with other types of people. It's not a black and white situation, you red SF chump. It's always you reds who are so racist and nationalistic. Gee, I wonder why that is, chump.

ITT OP has encountered Nietzsche for the first time in his life, but not through picking up a book. "Cope" this and "cope" that... OP has reddit misery written all over it

Not that most of it isn't factual, but there is no need to be such a sad little kunt about it.

Well to keep sanity you still have to life by a code, even though it really means nothing if you murder every human or help every human, the Universes coarse is unaffected. Everything that's created whether it's services, products, ideologies are all there to make sure humans don't go full chaotic. I mean if everyone REALLY understood how inconsequential we are and what we do is, that we will be in perpetual non-existence, we'd probably have some serious instability like you've never seen before.

OP, life is only as pointless and trivial as you make it.

an "objective purpose" to life would be meaningless. think about it.

oh ok, God or the universe has assigned X as the purpose of life. umm what if I think that's a stupid purpose?

ultimately the only purpose that matters to you is one that you decide to align with.


the "objective purposelessness" of life is neither depressing nor inspiring. you project your own emotional state onto the facts. you sound like you're depressed. fix that, and then come back and look at this topic again.

Life isn't pointless. It just seems that way because the society we live in is chit. We have no culture and no unity as a people. We don't trust each other and capitalism encourages us to try to screw each other over. We are demoralized, OP.

This post is more Schopenhauer-esque than Nietzsche. Arthur.S was right, life is a cheat and ultimately void of meaning. Nietzsche saw the striving to become the "superman" as the point of human existence, I disagree with this because unless that struggle is inborn into every man, it cannot be an innate purpose in itself

The will to survive which both the man and brute hold dear is the only true meaning of life, but paradoxically, since we're all gonna die at the hands of fate in a senseless manner, it matters very little if we survive individually or as a race/species. What happens from A.) Womb, to point B.) Tomb is just a series of copes and struggles to affirm a human existence that will ultimately fail victim to the cruel hands of the universe which gives back nothing but rather just takes and takes. It's all cope to deal with the innate depression that comes from being higher processing animals

Chad and the incel are equals, they both will reach the same conclusion in the grand scheme of reality.

Steve Jobs is no better than an African baby who died on a disease in his first 6 months, who is in turn no better than the robust jawed Chad who impregnated 100 prime women

The truth is humans are just another animal and have little control over circumstances and once dead, there is nothing else they can do. Look at how much people are abandoning traditional conservative views, 10 years ago gays were openly discriminated against, now their are 100k transexuals being 'reborn' every year. Society is fastly losing faith in all the copes and norms our ancestors put in place to help us cope with the sad reality that is life

The fact of the matter is that once you're born, you know you're going to die; what you do in between is of little or zero importance or significance in the grand scheme of things, you're better off just rotting instead of making yourself suffer. There is no reason or point in investing in politics, philosophy, religion, communion, ect so long as you get yours on earth and don't get attached when you're going to die a senseless death at the hands of fate. There is no reason to mourn the dead because their time, like all of ours is always approaching and is inevitable; like all of ours.
Pretty sure "rotting" is suffering mate. Sounds like you hate yourself, you're jealous of people that succeed and so you want to try and bring them down. If you practice what you preach, start rotting then *******.

Yes but it is because of this pointlessness that "accomplishing" something is just as much a time killer as not.

So for someone to realize things are pointless and still want to be "successful", they will have faded through time just the same, so they might as well.

Essentially this means to play the game unnattached, and with the knowledge of what everything really is.

With that said, I'm not really doing chit. Just taking things I shouldnt and smashing poon. And it's great. But I'm not against "accomplishing" something for the greater of mankind or people. You can spend your energy however you please, and if you truly believe everything is pointless you wouldn't look down on people who do "try".
There is no thing without nothing.

Brutal as fuk lifepill being dropped in this thread. Well said OP.

Accomplishment is a massive cope, its all about using your time to pleasing yourself and doing what you want; but not in a selfish way. Ultimately happiness comes from within, you will not find it by slaving away or trying to get money. Money is one of the greatest killers of life/happiness

Nietzsche was an FA rotter who hated his appearance and was rejected both times he proposed to women. He was also a notorious whoremonger.

That's why he grew such a huge, impractical moustache because without it he looked very supreme:




vs






He was cucked by his friend Paul Ree who ended up banging Lou Salome (a Russian pseudo-philosopher who friendzoned Nietzsche and rode his coattails for as long as possible without ever putting out--in the end Nietzsche proposed to her and was rejected):




This picture was Nietzsche the cuck's idea (Lou holding a whip with Nietzsche and Paul Ree posing as oxen):




This is just the tip of the iceberg. I've got so much chit on Nietzsche (from real books which I bought, not Wikipedia) that really exposes his inner torment.

Lol what dirt? It's obviously to anyone who's read him that he was a FA. And OP just said a few posts up that his thread isn't influenced by his philosphy or nietzsche.
