Not even catholic. I just think he was 100% right about human existence, society, violence and politics.

he makes cuckoldry look like a good thing

Being a cuck is just a spook anon

Just like everything else, really

>>486100
Actually being a cuck isn't a spook because your mate getting shagged is a physical fact.
The importance you give to the fact is a spook, however.

>>486108
As I said, BEING a cuck is a spook

>>486116
No, if you have a state sanctioned certificate that you and your woman are married, and your woman goes and shags a man you are L I T E R A L L Y a cuck. Whether you care or not is the spook.

>>486127
But marriage is a spook friendo

>>486132

Anyway, let's return this thread to it's original purpose

>>486157
Money can be a 'spook' if you give it value that hampers your enjoyment

>>486157
Calm down, darling

>>486165
Worshiping money is a spook. Actual money isn't a spook. Or else you could call a bullet drilling your face a spook.

>>486158
He was seriously based and original and it's a shame many modern existentialists/post-whatevers don't know his name.

>>486175
Money doesn't hold any intrinsic value. We give it value.

Money is a spook.

Dont fall for economic fallacies.

>>486154
money is a tool

>>486183
Well, existentialism is cancer anyway

>>486186
Money is the perfect expression of material wealth. Whatever is being sold - if you have money you can buy it. But you're right, money is dependent on the value we give it.

>>486186
Read some Stirner, you have an odd idea of what 'spooks' are.

>>486175
I meant the concept of money, not the physical things we use as money.

>>486186
>doesn't hold any intrinsic value. We give it value

Just like everything else you mongoloid.

>>486203
And thus anon becomes a buddhist.

Or, you know.

And these days we have an 'inconvertible fiat currency not backed by any standard'

This is a great way to make sure we destroy ourselves.
