>mfw when the Werner Herzog penguin who has continously affirmed my will to live for over a decade goes mainstream, and normies reduce him to a chad vs. virgin meme to be deployed in their gay-ass culture war to dunk on the other sideI truly despise what the internet has become.
Unc crashing out fr fr :skull:
>>2177875213DPD
>>217787495>A penguin who committed suicide affirmed my will to liveHuh?
>>217788514he absorbed the penguin's soulfucking evil bastard
stop calling everything a culture war
Am I being psy oped? The meme was always about depression, being broken, and killing yourself, penguin left his tribe and goes in the direction where's no food to eat
>>217788514It's like Skyking.
>>217788576It's about setting out on an impossible journey just because you can. The end is obvious, but it's not the goal.
>>217788576Normoids twisted it around.>naw he aint going out there to die he going out there to live why u mad it aint that serious gang :peace_emoji:
>>217787521based beyond belief *sobs*
>>217788514>>A penguin who committed suicideWrong.
>>217790618Actually
Even this thread got fucked up from the get go.
>>217790788Why is this even newsworthy? I'm all the way up in norway and even I've heard of an emperor penguin. This story should be about me.
It annoys me that the viral version replaces the already-perfect score. Herzog's brilliance should not be fucked with.
>>217790618>manlet_wards_off_local_nonce.webmOne of my favorite vids.
>>217788576Not for me. I always see him as a manifestation of the will. A penguin carving out his own meaning in a cold, desolate wasteland, simply because he can.
>>217791009The music really is hauntingly beautiful. Reminds me of Ash Lake.
>>217788576>>217792583I feel like it's largely one in the same. It's being in a solemn state but pushing through any how, rather than succumbing to a quiet slow suicide or a numbed rote existence.
>>217790895not my emperor, thats for sure
>>217788576There is a concept of "beautiful losers" when people realise on some level that they can't get the life they want but they deal with it by wrapping the whole thing in some aesthetic that lets them pretend they were actually superior all along. Like that guy who stole a plane and killed himself, instead of shooting himself he turned the whole ordeal into some theatrical scene.
>>217788576>negroidwithnofaustianspirit.tgif
>pleb: penguin scene>intellectual: diving scene>pinnacle of human thought: buckets scene
What do you mean? Is it a TikTok meme now?
>>217787495You are certainly no interesting or deep person yourself. Just another shallow fool resentful of the world because of his own life choices. A true NPC in every sense of the term, no will to agency over his own life, just a man who picks the scabs of misery get the last bitter drops of dopamine inside.
>>217788514its Nietzschean, you wouldnt understand it.
>>217792869Bugman, materialistic take there.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2PP7HxyOCY
https://youtu.be/c7WqVx9x89sReminder that fascism is a nihilistic death cult.
>>217792931I actually love the world and people overall, and I am daily pursuing my own destiny and only look to the penguin for inspiration, but nice projection. If actively looking for the worst in people is your MO, maybe it's time for you to look inwards.
>>217792869>take the hand you were dealt by the balls and make the best of it>>noooo! society says you're a loser! you have to be sad!Yakub didn't put me on this planet to be a mopey fuck.
>>217793010>I actually love the world and people overall, and I am daily pursuing my own destinyYou clearly aren't. You posted a thread on the television and film board about how upset you are over other people posting your precious penguin meme that has "kept you alive" and how they're not doing it right. You aren't really in a position to play high and mighty morally upright straight-and-narrow liver now. You just sound bitter and antisocial. You brought this thread into existence to be miserable and hateful over how other people exist and like things that you also like-- if that's "pursuing your destiny", I think your priorities are in need of a drastic shift.
>>217787495>my memes!shut the fuck up, unironically touch grass, get a job, volunteer somewhere, do anything else with the one life you have to live
>>217787495>rise a knight
>>217793084Okay, I see how you could have interpreted it that way, but that was not my intent. My point was that I'm just sick of the culture war shit, both in real life and on the internet, men vs. women, left vs. right, yada yada. I'm tired of people arguing and making an enemy out of their neighbours, and the algorithm pushing outrage culture, and I was kinda disheartened that something really profound like Herzog's penguin was reduced to a cudgel in this back and forth bickering. It's especially ironic that something which so clearly represents radical individualism would be corrupted into a tool of crude tribal warfare.>your precious penguin meme that has "kept you alive"I didn't say kept me alive, I said affirmed my will to live. A very important distinction.>if that's "pursuing your destiny", I think your priorities are in need of a drastic shift.ffs, posting on 4chan is not what I aspire towards, that's just silly. I just come here sometimes when I take a break.>>217794182I do all those things, calm down.
>>217792583his "meaning" is dying alone for no reason when the option to live a good life is right there
>>217788576that's what it still is, but a death cult has decided that's actually heckin based and redpilled to pointlessly kill yourself
>>217792998It's all just so tiring.
>>217787495>the Werner Herzog penguin who has continously affirmed my will to live for over a decadeyou couldn't catch me posting something this fruity
>>217788576It always had hints of >"dude I'm like the MC bro, I'm going against the norms, against the system, the stupid sheeple will go the feeding grounds but I'm going to the mountains, they will merely survive but I will live. I'm such a fucking independent thinker."I pray that this is where it ends and the zoomie hoard is not going invade even more Herzog docs.
>>217795018For some, struggle has more meaning than comfort.
>>217795094the penguin isn't going to strugglehe's going to die. cold and alone for no benefitif you want to die just fucking kill yourself, you're not a hero. you're not a chad for killing yourself, just do it and stop wasting everyone else's time while also deluding yourself.
>>217795087Yeah, the penguin has pretty much been reduced to the newest sigma male meme. The sad reality is that if you are even aware of this meme, you are overwhelmingly likely not an Ubermensch, but rather one of Nietzsche's last men. It's okay though, almost everyone is.
>>217795129The same has been said of all pioneers.>if you want to die just fucking kill yourself, you're not a hero. you're not a chad for killing yourself, just do it and stop wasting everyone else's time while also deluding yourself.Why are you making this about me? I'm posting on /tv/ from my warm and cozy apartment. I do not live like the penguin, I just admire him.
>>217795177pioneers don't wander into certain death. there is literally 0 possibility of the penguin surviving in the middle of the continent alone. the "pioneer" equivalent would be a guy wandering on foot with no supplies into the sahara looking for farmland
>>217795255>pioneers don't wander into certain death.Hindsight is 20/20.
>>217795306Bot post.
>>217795306results oriented thinking is the hallmark of a retardsetting out for uncharted land that you can see supports life but might be difficult to settle is different from marching to certain deathpioneers do the former, retards or suicidal people do the latter. the retards accidentally being right doesn't make them not retarded
>>217787495The point of that meme is to point out how people arbitrarily venerate and denigrate different people who do the same exact thing as each other. All I want is consistency.
>>217795087>im just like dis grizzly man fr fr
>uhhh why didn’t the penguin just trust the science? If you read the map, you can CLEARLY see nothing is there. I guess the penguin is just retarded!It’s a penguin you retard. He doesn’t know if there is anything else behind the mountain. Both the people that celebrate the penguin AND the same people that are seething about it are projecting your feelings on a bird.The penguin seems to be throwing his life away to satisfy a feeling of curiosity. People who glorify it like to imagine them having the courage to do it themselves, even though they never would if given the opportunity. People who seethe about it are self-loathing because they know they wouldn’t have the guts to do it and hate themselves for it and are coping.
>>217795902You're a fucking retard, holy fuck.
>>217795954Stfu, this is a penguin thread not a Vito Corleone thread
>>217795382>>217795382>setting out for uncharted land that you can see supports lifeYou can't see America from Europe across the Atlantic. At some point, somebody sailed into the the uncharted horizon.Do you feel the same way about astronauts who died trying to breach the atmosphere?
>>217795393Don't expect consistency. A partial point of the penguin is that the concerns of the flock is of secondary importance to him.
>>217795902You're a fucking genius, holy fuck.
