When you vote, do you consider anything besides your own self-interest?

>>2198645
self-interest is a spook

>>2198655
How?

>>2198665
interrogatives are spooks

>>2198665
No logical reason for it.

this spook shit is cancer.

>>2198655
No its not, read Stirner

>>2198674
What are you talking about, the logical reason is to stay alive, thus serving your ego, which is what spooks prevent you from doing. Spooks aren't just anything you want them to be (at least in Stirner)

>>2198688
Why is staying alive objectively a good thing?

>>2198682
reading is a spook

Anyone who votes at all is spooked. Realistically, the odds of your vote making a difference are on par with winning the lottery. The only reason to even bother is out of some idea of democratic duty or muh ideals.

not getting dubs is a spook

This guy gets it

Democratic nations are as spooked as you can get.

In reality they aren't democratic at all. They're theocracies to their spooks.

>>2198645
I generally vote right winged, which is thinking for myself and other hard workers.
I do not completely think for the masses.
So, in a way, I'm voting selfish.

I always vote at random, because biased voters shouldn't decide who is better candidate.

it is not in your self-interest to vote since there is virtually no chance of you influencing the outcome

>>2199059
>right wing
>thinking for yourself

You've just been spooked into thinking the right wing is in your best interests. The spook has made you believe it serves you when really it's the other way around.

>>2198645
but jimmy

democracy means voting for your own interests

>this thread again

I swear OP, you're no better than tripfags at this point

>>2199225
Why do people vote to pay for poor people's kids then?

>>2199229
Maybe I should get a tripcode, not liking tripfags is a spook anyway

>>2199230
illusion of choice

>>2199230
because it makes them feel good about themselves.

>>2199236
I thought democracy was voting in your own interests?

>>2199059
>and other hard workers
Legitimately spooky

>>2199230
Coz they might be poor one day and have kids? Hell it might even be in their self interest to persevere the state hence wanting to have more kids

>>2199238
if people wanted to vote for a party that gave the voters a $100,000 check every week that party would win by lunchtime but the limited amount of parties means people have to pick the next closest thing
ie. wanting something but getting something worse because thats the best you're gonna get

>>2199242
A train of thought that convoluted can only be the result of a spooked mind. There is no benefit to voting to feed poor kids in Detroit, since I live in California. At least there's no benefit greater than I could otherwise achieve with that money.

>>2199249
?? I am assuming you vote on a state level though and didn't factor in the complex relationship of US federal relationship with its states. I definitely agree with your example though

>>2198645
Voting because you think it actually matters is a spook

Voting because you think it's funny to see a reality TV show host become president of the US is redpill

What if my self-interest is being used as a spook?

>>2198747
>everybody thinks their vote doesn't matter so they stay home
>suddenly only 2 persons vote each election
Clinton had 5 million votes less than Obama. If, for example, every person who could had voted in Florida, Trump could've lost Florida.

>>2199857
By definition self-interest can't be a spook because the spooks Stirner warns about are ones that go against your self-interest.

I've never met a stirnerite who could explain to me why self-interest matters in a way that doesn't revolve reductionist arguments or circular rationale.

Why is one spec of consciousness in a sea of other specs of consciousness important? Stirner argues that circumstances of birth are the reason; that we are born "egoists" so "egoism" is the "natural" state. But then, why do the opinions of babies matter? Why should my mentality as a 0 year old determine my mentality as a 22 year old? Hurr, because I was born that way? I was born pissing from my mom's womb, should I piss in every girl's uterus?

The self is worthless.

>>2199924
Explanations are pointless unless you share the fundamental values which the idea is extrapolated from. If you don't find any worth in your own self, your needs and desires, then there's nothing to talk about.

>>2198645
My single vote won't make a difference in my life so I spend the time beating my dick instead.

>>2199924
The self matters because who else is going to jack you off?

>>2198645
I empathise with people that are worse off than me. I'm happy to think I'm helping them.

>>2198645
why are you helping me?

are you spooked?

>>2198645
I get connectivity and understand that altruism is my self intrest and the my self is just a part of an interdependent meta-system
I've done enough mushrooms to identify the natural universe as my self.

>>2198645
my self-interest in having a functioning world without anarchy and such
