Suicide

They're afraid of death. They say they aren't but they are.

because suicide is hard
if suicide was as easy as pressing a button, say, half of the population would be dead by 20

>Why don't Ligotti and all the other philosophical pessimists of his mindset kill themselves?

Why would he? It takes more effort to die than to just continue your state of being and there is more pleasure to be found in life than death

>it's harder to die
No, it isn't. Literally go to a tall building and jump off the top floor.
>there's more pleasure in life
That's the thing about Schopenhauer and his dudes, they disagree.

Have you tried it? It's not that easy.

We're talking about mental effort not physical effort, its one thing to rationally deduce something as true its another thing to go against all primal instinct and doubt to carry through on its conclusions. The pain of struggling towards that ends appears to be unworth its effort compared with just waiting for the inevitable in quiet desperation

He is a Fifth Column for non-existence. He is an enemy of our state (existence) and spends his time spewing propaganda against existence either until he is expelled (censored, arrested) or until non-existence relieves him from duty and appoints someone else to his position.

To kill yourself is to hold a concrete opinion that death is preferable to living. The issue is that death is unknowable: you don't know what's there. You don't know whether you'll "win" or "lose" with a suicide, but some day you're still going to die. Hence, the rational choice is to not kill yourself prematurely.
