Giving In To Giving Up; Why Do It?


Posts: 35495

I have seen many, many more videos in the modern political spectrum over how appealing to 'the enemy' is impossible, but I have feelings otherwise. 

Sure, they may not listen to you today, and they may get the wrong lessons out of it, but the spread of knowledge is not the spread of change, it is the spread of potential change. If they are purposefully ignorant change is near impossible until they are not, but if they are selectively knowledgeable via skepticism more than ego, they still carry something from the discussion. They may in their wisdom inspire someone else to do things better. 

When people give up on potential, the world becomes stagnant. It is only when we give up on our fellow man that we give up on their development and growth. They may become a better person 20 years from now, but that isn't nothing. 

In that respect I have weirdly more respect for the likes of Spatial, even if I may see his views as deluded; He hasn't given up on appealing to his fellow man, and even if (when) he's wrong it educates people as to what those views even are, rather than their own people giving them a version of it. The guy even gives us Youtube channels and articles, when most won't drop a source when pushed.

What benefits are there to Nihilism, other than waxing your own cock to sorrow? 

It's becoming trendy to give up, it feels like 'what else can we do', but appealing to one another is our current cope, be it as Civil War, Apathy, or Contrarianism.

Explain the purpose of this post.  Are you thinking this communication is necessary?  Who do you think is giving up here?  Are you wondering yourself?

Have you not noticed how Gen Z has been nicknamed the Nihilist generation, and those born before '97 reflect similar sentiments? 

Politically speaking, it's all infighting and apathy as the bridge between clashes lengthens. 

The question is moreover how much communication is possible, during a time where people's automatic 'wisdom' these days is to learn how to not argue with them and accept what's happening quietly. A lot of people keep trying to communicate the idea that someone who disagrees with you is incapable of changing positions, which seems absurd but commonplace now. 

Who isn't conditioned to give up right now in one way or another over overstimulation?

Where are your links and videos to convince anyone that your thesis holds merit?  You could be noticing a trend that you've silo'd yourself in.  You want to leave it as some open Appeal to Authority?  You see the irony?

 Being factually correct and also that.

You mean Turncoat? I was saying Nihilism is being factually correct. I don't see Nihilism as giving up. I guess I forget sometimes the false equations people have about nihilism. And I was saying it's an added bonus to wax your own cock to sorrow.
