is this guy actually important and worth my time, or is it just some shitty circlejerk meme?
From him you learn that if you can't win an argument you just call it a "spook"

absolutely a meme, he has no influence whatsoever of later philosophers and anyone who does even know of him treats him with the same disdain they do Rand

stirner's definitely not someone you want to bring up in public. in any circle. but after marx and engels, i think he is the young/left hegelian most worth reading -- i don't think he's more than a meme to most people who mention him online; that's a shame because while he was no genius, his work demonstrates a tremendous leap in the sequence of german thought following kant, hegel, and then feuerbach's contributions. i think without marx's work, stirner's is a dead end, though i also think marx's engagement with stirner shaped him in a really profound way. make sure to read 'stirner's critics,' and the portion on him in balibar's marx's philosophy. if you want to see some 'practical stirnerism' look into some of the illegalists like the bonnot gang and enzo martucci. wolfi landstreicher, jean-michel rabate, and alfredo bonnano are all good sources on him as well -- avoid bob black. for a view from the right, look at junger's eumeswil. there's also this weird pamphlet you might be interested in called 'the right to be greedy' -- stirnerite marxists, they're real.
A meme, just like Schopenhauer and Nietzsche.

>who is Marx?
He had an influence on many great thinkers, though only few of them ever admitted it.
Marx, Nietzsche, Jünger, Camus, Schmitt, Reich are some of the best known.

Stirner is the Ayn Rand for serious philosophers

The guy is meme :)
Meme. People who debate using Stirner's ideas are highly inconsistent.
