I've lost it. I have nowhere to go anymore, noone to talk to. It seems like many modern post-leftists are just leftists with a fancier vocabulary. Communism ("But it's in my self-interest")? Check. Gender essentialism? Check. Ideological orthodoxy? Heck, most post-leftists I see think exactly the same, all the same ideas of anti-civ/anti-work/anti-whatever. And all of them still cling to this utopian project of a better future. Not to mention that some post-leftists are trying to reconstruct morality using a different vocab ("You shouldn't violate others 'cause that's an insult to their uniqueness" or gibberish like that).
The label of "post-leftism" is kinda useless. It pretty much denotes any non-leftist anarchist, it's vague as fuck. Like, what do we really have in common? Absolutely nothing, it's "left unity" for black-flag anarchists.
I'm done, I can't take it anymore. You can call me whatever you want, I don't care. You don't recognize a postie in me? Fine, this is not what I started reading Stirner and post-left literature anyway, it was always about me sitting in solitude and reading political and philosophical literature to understand the nature of the Universe and everything. I guess I'm destined to die alone without a company of like-minded people. Then so be it.
P.S.: Your constant suicide threads are boring af, really makes me want to kill myself.
>>4389I'm a post-post-post-post-post-post-leftist.
I have the high ground.
>>4395Well, I just wanted to hang out with le based Stirnerites who'll blow my mind with FACTS and LOGIC but I guess touching grass is the best thing I can do. It's just so hard to move on without anyone understanding you, most people are either conservative or liberal. One ancom dude here said it's best to have a politically radical gf but how am I supposed to find a politically radical gf who actually agrees with me?
>People are retarded, what's new?Well, I'm used to have high expectations of post-leftists. One might say I "idolize" them, I have so much respect and sheer adoration for McQuinn and Landstreicher. It's a kind of inferiority-superiority complex of sorts: I'm generally elitist and anti-egalitarian but have a habit to adore those whom I view as "great individuals," a habit I got from Nietzsche.

Yeah, so when I see a Stirnerite I instantly think to myself: "Hm, must be a very wise and intelligent person."
stop caring about politics. there will be no revolution, nor insurrection, nor widespread political transformation that you will bear any part in. The best you can do is find happiness, tranquility, and power inside of yourself. Go read Stirner again, but do it better, then Eumeswil, then Ulysse Malcoeur's environmental pieces. Accept what should now be understood as fact that capitalism will not fall, it will eat itself, and in the process, kill untold amounts of people. We can do nothing about it, and thats okay, because we didn't cause it either. Embrace the lack of culpability and live life to its fullest. Depression is a waste of time, as is trying to find 'like-minded people.' Everyone is like-minded! Silly man.
>>4388>>4396you have serious brainrot from vulgar readings of these authors. either stop reading and accept that you just dont understand them (maybe you're simply retarded, or maybe you never actually read them and did le-meme-osmosis, or maybe somethimg else) and might not ever so you should just go touch grass and be a normal person.
or dive deeper into it, try again, find solace in isolation, and have an even greater but doomed-to-vanity yearning for like-minded individuals
>>4410Vulgar in which way? I don't think egoism is when solitude or when you put others down or when you lack empathy. And I know perfectly well that Stirner wasn't against socialism.
I'm not against socialism, I just don't care about fighting for it.

I like illegalists and anarcho-nihilists' approach, they don't care about anything anymore, they just have fun.
>>4388> It seems like many modern post-leftists are just leftists with a fancier vocabulary. Always have been, post-leftists are just leftists that see the flaws in leftism, but instead of trying to use these critiques to improve leftism they engage in cucked ideological separatism from an ideological community so narrow that none can reasonably occur.
It is inevitable that post-leftists and left-anarchists will be indistinguishable in a few years time, rejecting morality is pointless when humans are naturally aversive to amorality. Ignore the demoralizers, a revolutionary libertarian front will rise.

It's funny how Bob Black used to be at the forefront of post-leftism and now he's a persona non-grata. Same with poor Landstreicher. Just shows that post-leftism itself has a lot of infighting and is basically another one of those "X-ist unities" where conflicting groups fight for influence. Why not call oneself as just an anarcho-egoist? The term "post-left" is a recent invention, if you asked Emile Armand wtf post-leftism is he'll be like: "Post-what?"
