>I'm obviously exaggerating things
No he's not

I refuse to disengage

>Passion is a farce

Unless we're talking about gay marriage

While there's some truth to what he's saying, I think that the greater portion of the whole postmodernism / new sincerity ordeal is irrelevant to society.

I consider myself a social outcast. I was never rejected by anyone outright, I was just raised in a house where the values were not strongly established, my parents' beliefs were in constant conflict (one a Protestant, the other an atheist) and the family was overall very antisocial, so I received little social conditioning or incentive to socialize. Instead, I was motivated to be myself, i.e. be unique, and be rebellious. But that alone is rather worthless, especially when no disciplinary regime is associated with it to reinforce it in you. So I grew up directionless. Now, I consider myself barely functioning, I hang onto the world by a thread and I definitely do not consider myself part of any zeitgeist in contemporary society, cultural or sub-cultural.

So I'm no stranger to the effects that postmodernism / new sincerity discuss. But at the same time, I also consider most people to not be directionless like myself. I consider myself a rare case, among the lower 10% of society. Most people still live by a moral code. They still follow traditions. Computer technology and the internet have not disrupted that flow, they have created new traditions. There are strong traditions already established in tech fields with clear cultural identities and clear hierarchical structures throughout them. You wouldn't have companies like Amazon growing in size like they are otherwise, everything would be in disarray. But there is still a stable order to things. The issues of the postmodernists / new sincerity peeps is relatively irrelevant to the world overall. And I disagree in making a federal case and more importantly a philosophical discipline out of my own condition. It feels like I am corrupting things.

Imageboard anonymity is what the society of last men looks like.

>Imageboard anonymity is what the society of last men looks like.

things like memes and (actual use of) free speech are the opposite of the last man you dumb nigger

>lover of sweaters
Irrelevant

>hater of politics
That's where you've fallen off the trail

der Letzte Mensch is always a bad thing.
Wrong.

Tripcode identities are hated across all boards. Becoming something separate from the hive of anonymity that celebrates NEET culture is looked down on almost universally here. It's much closer to the last men than its opposite.

Using a tripcode doesn't make you any less of a Last Man
And I don't see NEET culture being revered here, maybe at r9k but not overall at all
