Based or Cringe?
>>24875651Rambling cringe.
Reminder that anti-natalists are likely to be mentally ill and have a personality disorder

Reddit cringe. Oooh life is so awful, everything sucks, I'm so clever to see things as they are, not like those sheeple. Reality is fine, it's freaks like this who are defective. I do like Ligotti's fiction though.
>>24875663I've always gotten very disturbing and predatory vibes when people start talking about antinatalism. Now I know why. Not surprising.
>>24875651Pessimism is always based.
>>24875663>>24875691this isn't an antinatalist book you stupid fucking retardgo back to your benatar containment thread
>So they trust in the deity of the Old Testament, an incontinent dotard who soiled Himself and the universe with his corruption, a low-budget divinity passing itself off as the genuine article. (Ask the Gnostics.) They trust in Jesus Christ, a historical cipher stitched together like Frankenstein's monster out of parts robbed from the graves of messiahs dead and buried - a savior on a stick.B-B-B-BASED
>>24875651This book is not pessimistic in the usual sense. Conspiracy Against the Human Race is weird book. Ligotti is too much of an aesthete to write dry philosophy. There is no experience like reading this book if you take it as fiction. Especially the middle chapters become so weird and sinister that you get chills down your spine. You in front of your eyes see the creation turning into a menacing mystery.Thanks for reminding me, I need to read it again >>24875705Fucking kino. See this is what I am talking about. Ligotti is a master of atmospheric prose
>>24875663>the people who are trying to prevent suffering are suffering from things
>>24875651Jewish nonsense. I will breed.
>>24875783Ligotti is not jewish. He said that he would prefer a world in which ego death is a default state of mankind.
>>24875789Unfathomably based. I will now read your non-Jewish nonsense.Ego is the reason dysgenic freaks (like me) INSIST on procreation, while it doesn't alter their pathetic morbid existence but multiplies uglyness and stomps on aesthetic.
>>24875691Yeah. Get a load of this fag >>24875698, lol. >>24875698>The Conspiracy Against the Human Race: A Contrivance of Horror is a 2010 non-fiction book by American author Thomas Ligotti.

>>24875651Cringe. Not because of the philosophical position it attempts to represent but rather in its mind numbing and long-winded representation. You could essentially get the entire philosophical value of this book by reading Zapffe’s The Last Messiah. I guess I sort of appreciate it as a compendium of pessimism in how it draws together a bunch of sources, but it really adds nothing to these established lines of thought.
Is it a work of satire??
>>24875943xD rofl
>>24876043Filtered There is no other pessimistic book like this. It's Ligotti's style where he shines. He is an absolute master. It is the mixture of weird essays and poetry. Check out this quote >“Then it begins. This can’t be happening, you think—if you can think at all, if you are anything more than a whirlwind of panic."
