Are you a nihilist?

[Le Jacquelope]

As in, someone who feels the 'system' is too broken to reform, and that it needs to be destroyed in order to improve it?

I've long crossed that point when it comes to the US economy. And even gender relations, for that matter.

I want to see this hyper capitalist system crash and burn the way Communism did, so people can learn that we can't live at these extremes.

Then I'd also like to see the male birthrate decline to 1 in 20. Let the women run the world, I for one could use a break from being blamed for the world's problems. And seeing women fighting over men the way men fight over women now would be worth wondering where all the men's bathrooms went. To that effect, whenever I read that the Japanese prefer baby girls, I say yeeeaaah! I hope the trend spreads!

What system/institution would you like to see crumble under the weight of its own inequity?

I can see why you'd want to change your handle from loving tongue...

yes, there are many things I'd like to see torn down and changed. But-- dayumn.

I didn't change my nickname to run from any reputation. I'm just not into sexually charged PMs. In fact I put 'formerly known as LT" in my sig.

And yes, nihilism is frighteningly radical. I wonder if the whole Hindu thing about Kali might be rooted in the concept.

Money

Money

He already said Communism with a capital C crashed and burned. Were you not listening?

I know... I was being pithy.

I figure the banking system knows fuck-all about money so why not just deliver a bag of money to every house when they collect the rubbish. Most people will be too bored after a few weeks of sitting on there arses doing nothing, they'll go back to work and the system will continue without all those banks cluttering the High Street.

On the other hand... there will still be bloody Insurance companies

 

[rgraham666]

Nope, not a nihilist.

The problem isn't with the system, the problem is with the people. As long as selfishness and cupidity are admired, indeed necessary traits, we'll continue to have problems.

To quote Confucius:

"To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must cultivate our personal life; and to cultivate our personal life, we must first set our hearts right."

Well, you'd still get blamed for everything...isn't that what men are for? And we wouldn't fight over you. We'd work out a very nice schedule to try and satisfy everyone.

Whadda say, Stella? Gauchecritic? I'm busy Fridays and Sundays, so you two can have him on either of those days. I suppose that makes Tuesday-Thursdays good for me. Maybe we should give him Saturdays off to watch sports and recuperate?

Your continual posting, boundless and misdirected anger, and contempt for your fellow creatures.

BlackShanglan, the day you posted this

http://forum.literotica.com/showpost.php?p=24493363&postcount=119

where you said women can't lose weight, but then you said there was a 25% chance a woman can lose weight (the two statements contradicted each other), and you then launched a long, irrational multi thread tirade defending Bronzeage's "women don't care about a man's height" (even though many women posted that they do) rant

I should have put you on ignore and put an end to the problem.

You, BS, are not my problem any more. You're going to be someone else's now.

 

[BlackShanglan]

Yes, I can see how that rivals the insanity of this:

I don't really care about anyone.

I know perfectly and without error what is right and what is wrong.

I live by what I know and I do just fine in this world.

I would imagine that after 4 years, you people would stop arguing with me since you can't refute what I say without sounding even more ridiculous.

When I leave here I live by what I say. And nobody gives me shit. Ever. Why should I care what Lit says? I just like to show you that you're an idiot and watch you flail around like a bunch of stuck pigs. But in the end, you're still idiots.

Like Recidiva said. Don Imus was a somebody with a career until he did something stupid and got brought down.

None of you ever will be anyone because you've already made it clear from the get go that doing something stupid is a virtue in your book.

The end. You're an idiot.

Why don't you go back to the GB and start some more "Which dude is the dumbest piece of white trash in the history of the GB?" threads? If the joys of that enterprise grow stale, you can always fake your own death again.

Or you can just go back to mis-reading my posts and presenting your confusion as empirical reality.

You can't really be a nihilist and then complain about a bunch of shit. Nihilists, by definition, believe in nothing. Sounds like you're just a misdirected idealist to me. You complain about capitalism, you complain about women and then you offer your brand of solutions. This, my friend, is not nihilism.

You remind me of the so-called nihilists from The Big Lebowski. They were in a German techno band a la Krafwerks and faked the kidnapping of the Big Lebowski's hot young porn star wife. Then when the Dude caught one of them, he complained "oh, it's not fair," to which the Dude replied "you're a nihilist, it's not supposed to be fair."

There's also the Russian Nihilist movement, the nihilism that I was referring to. Perhaps I should have made it a capital N, as it is sometimes referred to that way.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/nihilism
5. (sometimes initial capital letter) the principles of a Russian revolutionary group, active in the latter half of the 19th century, holding that existing social and political institutions must be destroyed in order to clear the way for a new state of society and employing extreme measures, including terrorism and assassination.

Since terrorism and assassination are pretty much out of the modern picture, of course, it's more feasible to watch a society collapse under the weight of its own inequity, if you're (un?)lucky enough to be around when it happens.

I don't mis read your posts.

You outed your deficiencies when I posted two studies that clearly contradicted Bronzeage's claim that "a man's height doesn't matter to women" and you two launched a vicious attack against me, claiming that I was wrong in saying height does matter to a lot of women.

Your problem was you kept finding the statistics and other facts were against you, there was a crowd of women on there saying that a man's height DID matter to them and you dismissed them, and you kept denying any statistic that disagreed with you was fact, you could not provide any statistics to back up your defense of the "a man's height doesn't matter to women" and you flat out refused to admit that you were wrong, and you certainly were wrong.

Boundless and misdirected anger? You have a shoot on sight attitude toward me and I'm tired of it. I don't need to put up with your childishness. I'm better than you. You're now on ignore. That ends this drama. And I'm putting a lot of your GB pals on ignore, too. I won't suffer your garbage any more.

 

[BlackShanglan]

Hmmm. Yes, that sounds like me - in backwards LT land.

Goodbye, dearest. At least they won't have Dick Nixon to kick around any more!

 

[Le Jacquelope]

Is there a better definition to describe those who are uninterested in reforming an institution and more interested in seeing it collapse and be rebuilt from the foundation up?

It's called New Labour. But they just didn't build anew they just copied the right.

 

[cantdog]

Reagan did that. What was rebuilt was much less than what was torn down.

 

[Stella_Omega]

Dubya looks like he's going after the constitution.

Indeed. And now one turn deserves another.

 

[elsol]

It's not something I would like to see crumble... but something I would like added.

Dueling.

It would make everyone around ever so much more courteous. -- Is not raising your voice really that much to ask? I bet if you understood that I spend hours on the sword and gun range a week, you'd damn sure watch your fucking tone when speaking to me!
