Given the absolute cancer that nihilism has been to western society,

>>2739062

On the contrary. We must cause stupid people, brown people, muslim people to also be in the truth, just as we are.

It is more important to be right than to be alive. Ironically, the above local valuation correctly justifies nihilism in spite of invoking value itself.

Tee bee aytch, it's more like only the people who accept enlightenment values should be allowed any sort of political or economic power, and those who do not should be ruthlessly repressed.

>>2739080

But of course, as you well know, the world doesn't work in that way, and so your conceit is moot.

>>2739096
As is the OP.

>why did Hildawg lose

Nihilism isn't the cancer of western society, that would be consumerism/materialism combined with liberal "muh human rights" cancer.

>moreimportant to be right than alive

1.7, 65%, etc etc

Secularisation was a mistake

>>2739121
No, allowing governments to fall to materialists was a mistake. You can be secular and still hold traditional values, and believe in metaphysical aspects of humanity.

>>2739129

The vast majority of people are incapable of walking that line. They need something to believe in. This is how I know you're probably some libertarian or ancap.

>>2739129
Allowing government to exist was a mistake.

>>2739153
Libertarians and Ancaps ARE materialists. People do need something believe in, I agree, but it is not necessary for religion (as we understand it) to fill that gap.

Developing a culture of common ethics/traditions works just as well in creating a cohesive society as religion does.

>>2739066
>It is more important to be right than to be alive.
That's maladaptive, and hence detrimental to your goal for spreading the truth since the competing belief are likely to be less truth-based than yours. It is much better to strike a balance.

How exactly do you link Nihilism to the age of Enlightenment? Care to enlighten me?

>>2739942

>enlightenment therefore promoted nihilism
Let us hope Europe drowns in a black flood. African migrants will revitalize Catholicism on a continent that has long abandoned it, by replacing the whites.

>>2739062
No. Russians are all nihilistic and look at them produce such fantastic literary works and philosophers.

>>2739948
I suspected something stupid like this.

On the plus side, safe for some autistic screeching on the internet there is not much you can do about.

You aren't thinking about this the right way. Your best chance isn't Africans and Catholicism (as if they'll convert), it's Europeans and Islam.

Yea, the most peaceful times in human history, with the lowest rates of all forms of crime, and the highest rate of scientific, social, economic, and political advancement are all such terrible things because a relative handful of angsty kids on the internet are too lazy to find something to commit their hyperactive attention deficits towards. Woe is we who must face the cruel reality of pointlessness.

Eat shit, you pseudo-intellectual fuccboi. Get a hobby for Christ's sake.

No.

People who think nihilism is about doom and gloom or necessitates becoming materialist are grossly misunderstanding and very obviously never read Nicthze.

>>2739955
Such as?

Oh yes Nietzsche, what a shining example of overman...

Yep, it's obvious.

Why? The problems of the modern west have more to do with Post-Modernism then they do the enlightenment.

>>2739955
The greatest Russian art (Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Tarkovsky etc) generally opposes nihilism.
