I never understood the appeal of nihilist media or shows made by nihilists. If they believe nothing matters and everything is pointless why don't they just kill themselves?Furthermore what can you possibly learn from a nihilist? Interacting with them seems like a waste of time
>>217363361Well you don’t have to believe a philosophy to explore it
>>217363361go to bed armond, you're drunk
>>217363361You think you're supposed to admire the nihilism depicted in this show?
>>217363361It's reddit nihilism, just like reddit science. Not so much that nothing matters, more like nothing matters if it doesn't align with their personal belief system>haha dude we're just hairless apes prancing around a rock floating in space! Tiny insignificant creatures, with no skydaddy to judge us, so who cares if we have indiscriminate sex in our polyamorous clique, twerk in front of children, harass white people for fun, and contribute nothing to society?>d-did you just call George heckin' Floyd a piece of shit? Did you not attend the BLM rally and bow before a proud Black woman? Did you say THE N WORD??? You are such a terrible fucking human, how can anybody do that, like ughhh
>>217363361damn you so deep, you should become a philosopher bro
The character is the nihilist, the show runners are not
>>217363361Nihilists and nihilist shows don't exist. They're a strawman created by chuds so that they look like people with strong values and morals in comparison.
>>217363361>literally does anything he can to spend time with his family >but he doesn't want to spend every second with them or do whatever they tell him to do >they depict the versions of him that don't want to spend time with the family as pathetic nihilist? lol
>>217364092now try to refute him
>>217363361most Nihilists actually quietly believe in blind Altruism slop, hence their uncontrollable Nihilism
>>217364180Can't do it, Harmon knows his stuff. 10/10 would worship as a living god.
>>217364275>Can't do itThat's right, chud, you can't.
>>217363361Why does nihilism trigger nu-4chan so much? Is it the influx of tradcück LARPers?
>>217363664This. The crux of it is Redditors are self interested sociopaths who are only motivated by upvotes and looking righteous in the eyes of their peers. It’s easy to get away with their brand sociopathy and nihilism when you bury it under 10 layers of therapy speak or leftist buzzwords. Look at how they treat dating for example.>They’ll say incels aren’t entitled to sex >But then throw a fit the moment a promiscuous woman is rejected, suddenly she’s entitled to a serious relationship>They tell men to lower their standards and be realistic>The same advice isn’t given to women who struggle
>>217364546>They’ll say incels aren’t entitled to sexwow that's pure nihilistic sociopathy!!
>>217364546>>217363664>literally too dumb for "nothing matters, so pick what you think matters"Christ, I worry for you children.
The easiest way to refute a nihilist is to kill them
Because doing things to feel alive and being free from whatever form of control someone else tried to instill upon you actually feels fucking good.
>>217363361A lot of them start out as cautionary tales in the spirit of russian literature and then turn into nihilist media when the audience doesn't get the message and latches on to the protagonist
>>217364688Why would that refute them?
>>217364702Either their life does matter, and they try to stop you, or their dead, and you don't have to talk to them anymore
>>217363361It makes sense for Rick to be a nihilist because in the world of the show, there's infinite universes and everything and everyone is utterly replaceable.
>>217364688What if they pull a gun and kill you instead
>like, nothing... le matters!>*sees an image of someone in the red drumpf hat and starts frothing at the mouth*These people are retarded fags.
>>217364581>wow that's pure nihilistic sociopathy!>deliberately missing the part that comes after>>But then throw a fit the moment a promiscuous woman is rejected, suddenly she’s entitled to a serious relationshipIncel lives don’t matter, but also “nobody is entitled to anything” goes both ways. Incels aren’t entitled to their delusions coming true and neither is the other side. You aren’t owed commitment and an LTR the moment you decide to settle down.
>>217364836>>217364855have you considered that there are several posters on reddit and some might have different opinions
>>217363361Prove anything matters genious
>>217363361You have to be a real fucking brainiet to think nihilism is pro suicide and existence still can't be enjoyed. You're conflating anti natslism with nihilism. Stupid Christ cuck.
>>217364876> have you considered that there are several posters on reddit and some might have different opinionsOh I’d love to agree with that in theory and in practice, but that isn’t reality. People are more motivated by the fear of getting downvoted than they are being honest. This place is fucking terrible too, don’t get me wrong.
>>217363361why don’t christian’s just kill each other after being baptized so they all go to heaven? that’s how dumb you sound
