I know you guys are autists with no friends but he killed him in revenge for his friend

>he killed him in revenge for his friend
Oh wow, what does it feel like to be clinically retarded?

every time any book is slightly criticized trolls on Veeky Forums who have probably never read it or been to college come out of the woodwork to say "you just don't understand" "lel you didn't get it"

it's a meme. they did it to me in my Corncob Memecarthy thread.

>lol just choose to be happy
Is there a bigger hack in philosphy than camus?

Remember that chapter where he meets with the detective, and the name on his desk was "S. Tranger"? Gave me chills, frankly.

he's the ultimate normie

you're better off just watching alexis ren and jay alvarrez on youtube for his message

He's not a philosopher, he's a writer. I like his work, but anyone who says their favorite philosopher is Camus I automatically disregard as a retard.

They can be found in droves on Reddit.

Absolutely this. Normie as fuck

Wow, you must be so smart for criticizing Camus. I bet you even say to your online friends how he's not a """real""" philosopher. How dense are you? Do you not understand how fucking deep and genius he was? Go on, read Wittgenstein, read Kant, Plato, Hegel, John Green, whatever the fuck you want. At this point you might as well read Harry Potter and stop fooling yourself that anything you're """reading""" is more than a way for your inexperienced mind to escape from the world. Go on, read in your comfy bed and shitpost on this dumb board all you want, but don't think that makes you good enough to criticize Camus, 'cause you're not. To read Camus, you must have done something in your life. And I don't mean that in the way you're thinking, I mean you must have DONE something, like for REAL. And let me tell you - you haven't.

>tfw to intelligent to read Camus

It is from the perspective of a literal autist.

It also is a highly overrated normie book.

Are you trying to be imply that one cannot choose to be happy?

Is this a copypasta, or are you for real? Camus is a 'philosopher' for retards that don't have capacity or inclination to read actual philosophical texts, and I say that as someone who likes his works.

You can't choose to be happy. You can choose to try to become happy but no one can go "I want to be happy therefore I am happy." At least that's what I assume the other guy is talking about

the plague is better, fight me

This post was very stupid.

read The Fall. His best work

Camus didnt need to write dense 1000 page tomes with 200 pages of footnotes to get conversate about complicated ideas

Camus much like Nietzsche actively promotes an anti nihilistic response to the world, yet still somehow hordes of idiots read Camus and just cant understand, wait is he saying I should care about how I act or what I do, or is he saying lmao just like do whatever, huh. Mersault didnt give a fuck, why should I?

Its an idiot test, you failed OP stick to anime and your moms house

Is this that Optimistic Nihilism I've been hearing so much about?

Just watch Neil de Grasse tyson videos and post on Reddit until the end of fucking time

Shit like this is produced by bourgeois think tanks to make the middle class complacent while the rich steals all their fucking money and uses literal slaves in the third world to make their trendy glitter iPhone cases.

Go sit in a park with your sweetie! (DON'T HAVE ONE, ALL SOCIAL RELATIONS HAVE DEGENERATED TO ORGYPORGY PROLEFEED NIGHTMARE)

Take Facebook tweet selfies of your stupid bullshit! (ENDLESSLY FOCUS ON DAY-TO-DAY PETTY SOCIALIZING AND LASCHIAN NARCISSISTIC GRANDSTANDING ON SOCIAL MEDIA, ALL HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO LITERALLY PREHISTORICAL LEVELS OF HYPERGAMY IN A WHIRLING GYRE OF MEANINGLESS TINDER FACEFUCKING FOR THE SELECT FEW AND ELLIOT RODGER RESENTMENT FOR THE REST)

These people are trying to thought control you into passively reclining and injecting low-effort Mythbusters reddit filth into your brain and ignoring the dull ache of meaninglessness and consumerist overstimulation from inhaling high fructose corn syrup and salt all fucking day

"Optimistic nihilism" is what rich faggots pay slightly less rich faggots to convince lumpenproles to think they're experiencing when they work in a cubicle for 45 years to finance a lifestyle of watching proles modify Nerf guns and design "man caves". Turn off the Youtube and develop some tastes and moral preferences taht an algorithm designed by Amazon can't predict and use to predict your entire life befoer you've evn lived it you peice of fucking shit

>dude every book has to be a support of my ideology lmao
God forbid an author has the gall to depict an emotional condition instead of thinking for you.

why are half of this board's posts bait?

This is my favorite pasta

People don't usually get to post anonymously with nothing being attached to their real self. This leads to people using it to vent by posting troll comments

>The search for meaning is meaningless. So just smile, goy! Also socialism works!

Thank you, Camus.

the search for meaning is the meaning brainlet

Great pasta and all but isn’t Nietzsche basically optimistic nihilism?

The book's message is essentially atheism without anything to replace religion will fuck you up. It's a short book with a simple message, and Camus writes very cleanly in layman's terms. Why shouldn't it be a masterpiece?

The sad part is that it's Camus' best book. Just fuggedaboutit.

Not at all and the very term "optimistic nihilism" is an aberration

And you don't seem to understand
A shame, you seemed an honest man

Well when you say it that way you can make anything seem like a piece of garbage.

lain memes

Underrated

No matter how many times I've tried to get into Camus and Sartre, everything they wrote just appeared to be vain posturing to me. It's like they imbue their petty anxieties with some exalted, cosmic meaning, the results are just comical. Everything they wrote about was dealt with in the Bible many centuries ago.
