Is Living ironically viable?

>>9295293
a self-aware being is forced to live ironically. The more self aware he is, the more honesty becomes impossible

This is probably the simplest, cleanest and most effective thing ive read this month. Thank you, it really helped.

>>9295759
You are a pest

>>9295759
But what happens when living ironically is the norm and no longer ironic? We face vistas of infinite regression, here.

the real question is whether you can ever be sincerd

>>9297372

sincere

>>9297363
The only way out is to destroy that which forces you to be insincere, ie. the whole edifice of capitalist society

>>9295293
Irony (and maybe even humor) is weakness rationalizing itself
Irony is the ultimate manifestation of the fear of failure and rejection
It's viable but not admirable
It it much more admirable to be sincere and direct

The real question is: how long will it last before you begin to believe it? The answer is eventually. . . and that is good enough for most. If you aren't most then why should irony and sincerity matter? After all, does irony not mask a sincere intention?

>>9295293
No, it isn't, and I'm glad you liked my screencap.

How do you even live ironically?

>>9297530
By planning suicide.

>>9295759
What if you are aware that you are being ironic? Can you twist that into some sort of odd sincerity?

>>9298429
some kind of new...sincerity...or perhaps...post-irony?

What the fuck does living ironically even entail?

>>9295293

>>9297530

on purpose.

>>9297379

Do you think humans were sincere before it?

Honest question.

Irony = Faggotry
Ironic = Faggy
Ironically = Like a fag
Perform these substitutions in your head and things will make sense.

I've hit the point where most the things i say are ironic, but noone seems to realise except
They just think i'm being a cocky guy

Fucking normies

It has got me a gf though

Maybe new sincerity is just another layer of irony.
