First define Nihilism because everyone seems to have a different idea of what it means

>>1244423
Being a fuckwit, basically.

But I sure don't. Is he trying to explore? Does he think there's food over there? Is he geographically retarded and unable to find his way back? These are the questions that keep me up at night, thinking of the special snowflake penguin.
Or is he thinking of a universal penguin consciousness, realizing that penguins have gone to the right and left but none have gone to the mountains so penguins could be missing out on opportunities that are offered only by the north and the south as opposed to the east and the west (assuming the right and left in this video translate to east and west).

>>1244591
He does not want to be a penguin anymore.

He is wishing for the sweet release of death.

>>1244591
he just doesnt give a fuck
he just wants to walk and be alone
walking is therapeutic as fuck, at least for me
if you die walking, you die happy

>>1244591

Oh, so you're saying it doesn't have a universal meaning and is completely up for personal interpretation?

>>1244298
Existentialism.

>>1244298
Step one is to stop looking at websites that print things backwards.

Step two is to realise that you're already not a nihilist if you give a fuck about being a nihilist.

Step three is dealer's choice.

>>1244298
Ethnic nationalism. Your blood.

Find purpose in finding purpose

Existentialism brah.

It was literally made to solve the problem of nihilism.

Existentialism.

If nothing you do matters on the very large scale, then everything you do on the very small scale matters.

unironically egoism tbhonest

>>1244298
Nihilism was only a result of the West's obsession with objectivity and shunning of subjectivity.

>>1244616
I've never really thought of it that way before

>>1244298
Nietzsche did it, and so can you.

Nietzsche, Sartre ? Get your shit together OP, those are the classical antithesis of nihilism

>>1244616
nah that would be escapism

Is anyone truly not a hedonist? I mean don't monks be all ascetic and shit because it gives them pleasure? Or because they think God will reward them in the afterlife for it?

>>1246035
Not being totaly not a hedonist doesn't make you one. Also, as monks ascetism make them suffer, they cannot be considered as hedonist.

>Is anyone truly not a hedonist?
Better Self-actualize yourself at all cost (exept jeopardize your capacity to keep on self actualize yourself) than remain the same without changement

>>1244627
I think That's exactly what should be said.

>>1244298
Religion, Absurdism

find purpose within

>>1244298
work sets you free anon. Also have cold showers and cut every vice out of your life one at a time. You'll feel awesome if you pull it off. You're never empty if you're getting shit done.

>>1244616
Had me going until 'natsoc.'

>>1244626
This

>>1244298
become religious
alternatively, don't be an edgy fucking retard

Virtue ethics. Start with the Nicomachean Ethics and then read some newer books.

Isn't the thought of a heavenly reward after death one of the greatest pleasures in life?

This picture really illustrates that National Socialists are just people with daddy and mommy issues who want an almighty Fuhrer to tell them everything is alright.

>>1244298
according to NEETzsche, to beat nihilism you have to worship art with the Apollonian and Dionysian or something

>>1244311
WHY?

>>1247780
i think this is true of all political activists. they're all depressed and they project their personal problems on the rest of the world, and convince themselves that political change will fix their brains. meanwhile normies don't give a fuck about politics and just enjoy life

>>1244298
You can be a hedonist and a nihilist.

everybody is a hedonist

what is hedonism ? to analyze life through
-pain
-pleasure
-non pain, non pleasure
then
-to fancy pleasures
-to hate pains
then, because you take so seriously what you feel, what you think, your likes and dislikes, that you choose to identify with all this.

> How does one escape from nihilism without becoming a hedonist?
You can adopt aesthetic ethics and focus your life on creation of the beautiful art.

Because the narrator's voice is pretty awesome

>>1244298
Understand that pleasure doesn't exist without pain and pain always preceedes and stays longer than pleasure.
Therefore, hedonism is a vain pursuit.

You need to back up here senpai. the first step of "rebelling" against industrialized modern society, brought on by the enlightenment, is romanticism. wiki it. natsoc is jumping 10 steps ahead.

germany werent the only ones who experienced romanticism which eventually lead to nationalism. it was felt globally. by the time we admitted to ourselves that we got out of hand we rewrote history so that only the losers of the world wars felt romanticism and nationalism. but really its everyone that experienced the jump to modern society. ignoring that modern society brings on feelings of romanticism means we are doomed to repeat it.

>Jesus' true message of cuckoldry

>>1244616
This is why the Starship Troopers concept is so great. Uniting a fascist Earth against an alien threat we are all allowed to hate.

>>1249473
It's not even close to a quote. Paraphrased at best.

>>1249473
It's some /pol/tard's wonky interpretation of J.E.

Ironically, Evola was more focused on the esoteric sides of race rather than the physical aspects, so he would mostly likely not have been very interested in nor shared /pol/'s near-autistic obsession with cuckoldry and interracial porn.

y tho

you escape nihilism by choosing to value things?

decide for yourself what's meaningful. you're already deciding they aren't so I don't see why you can just choose to decide differently. just change what you value

>>1244311
There is no path.
Beyond the scope of light, beyond the reach of Dark…
…what could possibly await us?
And yet, we seek it, insatiably…
Such is our fate.

It seems pretty obvious to me. A nihilist does not value hedonism.

This is something all the fedoras don't want to admit, they believe nihilism is purely about relieving themselves of guilt so they can play video games all day, but nihilism isn't selective, it is also about relieving yourself of your petty foibles, anxieties, bad habits and all those things that make you waste your time with distractions.

Sure, it means you get to be an edgy little shit occasionally, but most of your time will be spent being a huge square, brushing your teeth, giving up weed, doing your homework, eating oatmeal instead of reese's puffs, doing your cardio, straightening your tie, all so that you can ingratiate yourself with the normies and get into a position where your orchestrations actually have an effect.

>without becoming a hedonist
This is literally impossible. Fuck off, meme-faget.
