Nihilism Uncovered post G8

Not yet.

I came across this guy on the Nihilist forum.

"The best way to be a Nihilist in high school is through manipulation. manipulate everyone, befriend the gangsters and the punks and the geeks and use each individual cliche for its strengths and weaknesses for instance right now i sell drugs to the gangsters, use the punks for destruction and use my computer friendly comrades for grades and information on fellow pupils.

the girls and boys who have no friends are your greatest allies in the fight, the kids who can barely spell there names can be talked into doing anything. use people to your advantage because they are disposable resources."

My life makes so much sense now!

My life makes so much sense know!

Can't you see the patterns Herbert?

 

[Ryazan]

Of self-denial?

- A Nihilist must be Anarchist. Cooperation, mutual aid and the end of all dominiation are its foundation.

-A Nihilist is not a libertarian socialist, it does not desire a progressive project of counterpower development.

-A Nihilist does not base their actions on ethics of a desired future, be it post-revolution or post-collapse.

-A Nihilist does not base their ethics off a desired past, history brings an understanding, but not a model to be emulated.

-A Nihilist ethic is negative. A Nihilist responds to domination to end it because of its brutality, its domestication, its banality, its control and offers no programs for a better society, only demanding the end of this horrid and poisonous one.

- A Nihilist shares projectual desires with others on an individual basis. Critical self-theory finds unity in negative desire and won't support a promotion of a better tomarrow through activity.

And a nihilist fucks shit up, like, everyday - right?

Do they cover their faces so their parents won't find out they are being naughty?

What the fuck is peyote?

ffs!

what have you done with your life? eh?

 

[Ryazan]

I know. But I do struggle sometimes. Others make fun of it, and so I play to their activities.

 

[Ryazan]

ffs!

what have you done with your life? eh?

Sorry, what is peyote?

I seriously don't know.

I was busy looking for Soviet flags post 1940.

a likely fucking story.

 

[Thora_v1]

Stop derailing this thread!

 

[Ryazan]

I am either pictured as a charlatan, or a sinister bloke with a hidden political agenda masquerading as a charlatan on these boards. What is to be done? I am getting confused.

 

[jonH]

peyote is a tool used by nihilists in order to see non repetitive patterns

 

[Ryazan]

Like trying to not make it too obvious you are reading Samuel Pepys in the smoking room.

let's get back to nihilism, could one say nihilism is the same thing as anarchism except nihilists don't believe anarchy could work and they can't see patterns?

 

[Ryazan]

Why are you obsessed with patterns?

Pickmans, you need to go take a lie down or something.

It comes all the way from Saratov.

if there was an iota of sense behind your post, perhaps it would convey some meaning. but there isn't. so it doesn't.

 

[Ryazan]

It does to me.

 

[Pickman's model]

good.

During the first months of his [Rakhmetov] rebirth he spent alomost all of his time reading. But this phase lasted only little more than a year. When he realized that he'd acquired a systematic way oh thinking acccording to those principles he considered correct, he said to himslef at once: "now reading has become of secondary importance. As far as that's concerned, I'm now ready for life". Then he began to devote to reading only the time that was free from other pursuits- and he had very little time of that sort. All the same, he extended the range of his knowledge with astonishing speed. Now, at the age of twenty-two, he was already a man of a very solid erudition. This was because in this area he'd also established a rule: no luxuriries or whims, only what are only a few fundamental works on every subject. All the rest merely repeat, dillute, and distort what's more fully and clearly stated in these few fundamental works. One need only read only trhose; anything else is a terrible waste of time. Take Russian literature, for example. I say I'll read Gogol first of all. In thousands of other stories I can see, by reading only five or so lines on five different pages, that I'll find nothing but a corruption of Gogol.
