I love Camus this nigga changed my life

>le suffer for no reason hon hon

Dumb philosophy to hide labor alienation and how it makes people feel estranged, lonely and meaningless
>>
>>25185726
>maybe
I guess that's all the confirmation I should reasonably expect.

absurdism is gay cuckoldry, same as stoicism

>>25185742
correct

>>25185739
You do that anyway, he just wants you to admit it.

lmao try actually reading the book sometime retards. The quote isn't about labor, the rock symbolizes your entire life
>>25185748
this

reincarnating in matter over and over again until you stop being a Hylic

>>25185755
>the rock symbolizes your entire life
oh my GOD no it doesn't. camus would never say something so trite. it's the burden of the history of philosophy (the absurd confrontation with suicide) that is crystallized in your particular life. the marxists are correct. you haven't even read the essay "the myth of sisyphus" but you're out here telling people to fucking read books
>>
>>25185767
>it's the burden of the history of philosophy (the absurd confrontation with suicide) that is crystallized in your particular life
so basically what I said except gayer and madder
>>
>>25185770
it's ok to admit the essay was too much for you. he talks a bit too much about husserl's phenomenology, for most people
>>
Is /lit/ a Marxist board?
>>
>>25185793
we are all castrated and into horse porn
>>
>>25185793
Marx is one of the writers of all time.
>>
>>25185775
ok then mr fart huffer would you mind explaining to a simpleton like me where exactly in the essay he talks about learning to love labor? I remember a bit about learning to love the process of the creation of art since no work will last forever. I remember the stuff about quantity of experience over quality. Something about every atom containing a whole world. Must have had one of my typical retard blackouts during the part where he talks about being a cuck for your job.
>>
This guy was a total hack and the only people who take him seriously are depressed teenagers and mentally deficient losers.
>>
>>25185800
i think the marxists take issue with him because he situates alienation somewhere other than the capitalist mode of production, which they interpret as stripping the proletariat of agency and reifying that mode, etc. camus obviously doesn't want you to be a cuck for your job, either. the dispute is over the most effective means of not being a cuck
>>
>>25185732
Read your second book. You’re still a teenager so there’s plenty of time to change your life again and in better ways
>>
>>25185867
If absurdism is cuckery then what's their better alternative anyway? Not dying? Becoming a cog in an undying machine?
>>
>>25185886
Better to never have been.
>>
>>25185886

This is the exact same indignant anger society hurls at Mersault. Curious!

>>25185742
owning the means of production won't change the fact that I am slowly dying for no reason

marxists are so frustrating because they declare their own autistic special interest with work/class as the only thing that matters and then cross their arms and pout when someone doesn't play ball
>>
>>25185732
Read Sartre and ascend
>>
>>25187033
Yeah it misses the point so hard that it almost seems intentional. Install whatever economic system you want. Live without one. None of it will stop you from dying or give your own individual life any objective meaning.

Also anyone calling it cucked apparently skipped all the parts in Myth of Sisyphus about active revolt. Sisyphus isn't admirable because he loves toiling away pointlessly. He rebelled against the gods and cheated death just to be able to enjoy a bit more life.
>>
>>25187033
You are dying for a very specific reason, you are simply rejecting that meaning and claiming one doesnt exist. That's called delusion.

>>25187213
Economic systems can definitely stop people from dying young, dying painfully or dying unhappy. Not saying that marxism is perfect, but neither is capitalism.
>>
>>25185886
cog in a *dying machine
>>
>>25187234
Literally no part of absurdism is incompatible with trying to improve your conditions or stop exploitation to whatever degree is possible, so long as you don't fool yourself into thinking it'll stop you from dying or give your life any kind of objective meaning.

>You are dying for a very specific reason
wat


>Not saying that marxism is perfect, but neither is capitalism.
The absurd would still exist under either of those systems so idk what your point is here
>>
>>25185726
kek
>>
>>25185886
probaby not dying but that isnt so easy
