>OH BOOHOOO!>I'M RICH AND HANDSOME AND GET LAID A LOT>I'M GOING TO GET ADDICTED TO DRUGS GOING TO TRY TO KILL MYSELF SEVERAL TIMESWhat the fuck was this faggots problem?
You are spiritually a nigger so you can’t understand there being anymore to life but hedonism and how someone can still feel alienated and empty
He was no longer human, bro
>>24778976I read it cuz it sounded like some cool transhumanist book then it was this prick bitching about his life.>My wife got raped, I'm going to act like the victim
>>24778946Does anyone have the full text of the encounter between Dazai and Mishima where they meet at some event Dazai is holding. Mishima says something like "I strongly dislike your work." Dazai replies, "And yet you are here."
>>24778957>lives hedonistic lifestyle>hedonism is...le empty>continues to live hedonistic lifestyle and make no changesBravo
>>24779024Could Christianity have saved him?
>>24779039>could the jewish trap to enslave gentiles have saved him?I don't think so anon
>>24778946>What the fuck was this faggots problem?his problem is that pleasure and aesthetics are a petty empty void of nothing, and existence has no rational justification.
>>24779056I applaud his decision to end his life given that outlook. 99% of people who think this way just become whiny faggots that annoy everyone around them until they die of obesity induced heart conditions or something similar.
>>24778946Kek, I just read No Longer Human today. Gonna read the Setting Sun tomorrow.
>>24778957>there being anymore to life but hedonismLike what?
>>24778946All Japanese authors around that time wanted to kill themselves. Suicide is their national sport.
>>24779056J k huysmans got out of it
>>24779277I thought it was masturbating to cartoons
>>24778946got molested and thus developed bpd. some niggas are just crazy and you don't need to rationalize it.
>>24779020Just like on my anonymous image boards!
>>24779486The Japanese government created those cartoons to stop Japanese men from killing themselves.
>>24779523This. Some people just get permanently mindbroken by their experiences, especially at a formative age.
>>24779675This. Cartoons are the antithesis of participation in sports, everyone knows this.
>>24778946I at least felt better after reading "No Longer Human" because I saw that no matter how shitty my life is, it will never compare to this guy's. I didn't see a way for him to get out of this, especially when he himself had no attitude to stand up for himself or try to change things. By the end of his life, he was already in his third marriage, had daughters and a wife who apparently submitted to and respected him, but he preferred to isolate himself in a backyard cabin while writing, indulging in drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, and chems. It seems he never understood, tried, or wanted a normal life.
>>24778957Feeling alien and empty is a spiritual weakness and a psychogical deformity. The hedonism is entirely peripheral. Everything that happened to him was a result of his own defectiveness and therefore was well-deserved.
>>24779045Nothing to save, the outcome was appropriate. Might as well try to save a fish from swimming or a tree from shedding its leaves.
>>24778946Depression is chemical. If you have all of those things and still don't get enough serotonin and dopamine then you will want to commit suicide.
>>24782566And "chemical" is just your lifestyle and outlook, you dirty sad troon
>>24782571First of all, I'm not a tranny. Second, you can do all the right things and still have defective serotonin receptors, retard. Some people need to be on SSRIs for life.

>>24778957>there being anymore to life but hedonismSuch as? What's the point of living if you're not having fun?
>>24778946to be fair he got molested, obviously that would fuck him up for life
>>24778986emm, he was also the victim tho
>>24778946It's crazy how this was considered a 10/10 in the day. Now he'd be a kissless virgin writing books about how lonely he is instead
>>24780183So he's basically Don Draper
>>24778957>alienatedThat implies you are removed from something significant to you. But this world is without any real significance
>>24782575>Some people need to be on SSRIs for life.That's stupid
>>24778957>you can’t understand there being anymore to life but hedonismThis is what people voted for. This is the culmination of liberal and leftist ideology. Everything now is all about improving quality of life and any attempt of the state trying to correct its people is labeled as fascist.
>>24779063It would of course be better if they could somehow inflict more pain.
>>24784141>This is the culmination of liberal and leftist ideologyWhat do you think the purpose of consumerism is
>>24783422Thanks, didn't know there was a recording of Mishima's recollections of the encounter.
>>24784122I've never watched Mad Men, but I might check it out later.
>>24778957spoken like a true roastie
>>24784155Consumerism isn't exactly the fucking storm of steel Anon, it's a liberal ideology. It's not some sort of hapless accident that all of the "consoom and get excited for next product" outlets were fully arrayed behind the Dems for the last 10-15 years, implementing DEIslop and making pride variants of their logos.
>>24784155Consumerism is a worldly ideology that states that quality of life must constantly be improved and the set of people whose life must grow.
>>24785690>whose lifemust be improved*
>>24778957Obviously that feeling is sympathetic. The problem is when it comes out as woe as me, self-deprecating, entitled rambling. No Longer Human is a repulsive book. It is not even full of hedonism. It is just full of entitled misanthropy.
>>24778957Hedonism is partying it up, living as a decadent dilettante or aesthete, indulging. It’s drug induced mania. This book is not that. This book is just sad sap miserating and choosing to be a worthless human being and then complaining about it.
>>24784141>any attempt of the state to correct its peopleNot commenting on hedonism or materialism, but you have the soul of a slave and the spirit of an accountant.
>>24778946>OP is just an atomic arrangement of meat who enjoys putting other arrangements of meat into his butt>OP getting mad at arrangements of ink on paper hurrrYou can make anything sound stupid if you’re reductive enough
Dazai's writing felt so shallow compared to Soseki and Mishima.
>>24778946The gall to publish this 3 years after their atrocities in WW2. The Japanese are truly senseless and barbaric at heart. Doesnt mean theyre philistines or unsophisticated but I digress.
