Nihilism - Tumblr Posts
zany to me how these um actually nihilists like to pretend that "um actually love/friendship/cooperation/kindness isn't real bc we evolved that way to benefit ourselves as a species..." um YES? that's also where tool use comes from? that's where cooking comes from? am i supposed to think social bonds & tool use & cooking aren't "real" because they evolved over time instead of appearing fully formed from the ether?
sorry u can't enjoy things. im a superior being twirling a fork in my bowl of delicious noodles whilst staring in adoration at the world
fuck nazis! fuck zionists! free palestine! 🇵🇸
Finally got some more inspiration for a new playlist after watching Begotten (1989).
Nihilism and the concept of life being meaningless is a mindset that has entrapped me for a long time. I’ve seen it in a lot of younger people, especially in those like myself who suffer from mental disorders. When I was experiencing suicidal thoughts, I would use “life is meaningless and nothing matters” as fuel for my fire. I’d like to challenge these statements by both agreeing and adding onto them. yes. life is essentially meaningless. we live, we die, we are remembered for possibly a few generations, and we are eventually forgotten. however, as an addition to the “nothing matters” statement, I present “nothing matters forever”. the hug you gave your little sister won’t matter when you’ve both been forgotten. but it matters now because you saved your sisters life and she’d been contemplating suicide that night. she went on to smile at a stranger in the grocery store, and that smile made them believe in humanity again. that strangers regained hope led them to start a non-profit that helped thousands of people. what I’m trying to say is that we cannot be remembered forever, but we can do tiny acts of good that ripple out into other generations. nothing we do matters in the end, but right now, while we’re still alive, everything we do matters. positive nihilism is the way to go.
I didn’t have time to edit together that Bernie Sanders yet.

#inktober day ???
I been dipping my little feets in some abstract art these days...
Was watching Supernatural S14 E10 Nihilism on TNT and I saw something carved into the bar when Pamela drops the limes. Headed to Netflix to grab a screen shot and had to chuckle. I adore this show and all the love and details they put into every episode.

What's the .
Never Mind
-a poem by yours truly (possibly incomplete)
never mind
never mind indeed
it’s the sad and lonely hour, shall we proceed?
the world seems darker, more colder than before
can you continue like this anymore?
never mind
never mind indeed
my dearest friend, are you in some need?
the will to go through might seem distant to you
but we all have our bad days, some go off in rue
never mind
never mind indeed
this isn’t a prison, but you’re yearning to be freed
the skies seem higher, the ones you hoped to reach
better alone in our own misery than to pray for one to each
"The active nihilist sees in the unknown future and despair at our current situation, a call to arms. Meaning is found in approaching the void rather than in the false knowledge of what is on the other side of it. —Attentat
We are nihilists regardless of whether we call ourselves by the name, because we have no road out of this. We have only the starlit wilderness... The first act of navigation is to set foot in the wilderness. Only then can we put our hands against the bare earth, feeling for the dim warmth of those fires still smoldering beneath. —“Hic Nihil, Hic Salta! (A Critique of Bartlebyism)”
With every rebellious footstep we take, we are entering an unknowable void. There are no reliable maps of the terrain that our struggles will occupy. No one has a leg up on the question of liberation. So much has been tried and so much has failed, let us finally admit that we don’t know what is “right” or what will “work”. Nobody knows how, why, or if a dominant order will fall. We don’t know if there are enough letterbombs in the world to bring an end to nuclear power, nor do we know if a well-timed mass uprising in Auschwitz would have actually succeeded in shutting down the camp. Despite what anyone tells us, there is no guarantee that the workers of the world are going to rise up, nor any assurances that such a thing would even lead to a desirable situation.
Though we have inherited a great many ideas about how to confront domination, we know that nothing is set in stone. From the shattered tools and bones of our predecessors, we craft our own weapons. Nothing is guaranteed to work, yet we attack regardless. We do so naked, having shed the rags of morality, ideology, and politics that had accumulated over time. We confront this world raw, in all its horrifying glory." - blessed is the flame
Czy naprawdę tak właśnie wyglądają najlepsze lata mojego życia? Nic nie robię, śpię, gdy nie mogę spać to leżę. Nic nie jem i nie piję prawie wcale, bo mam nadzieję, że w końcu zdechnę. Czasem jestem tak słaba, że ledwo przechodzę z pokoju do pokoju. Najgorsze jest to, że wszystkim to pasuje, oprócz mnie. Teraz jest lepiej, mam siłę wykonywać podstawowe czynności, ale czuję, że zaraz wszystko wróci.
