Tfw too scared to commit to any one political ideology or philosophical school of thought because I know I'm too dumb...

all political ideals and philosophies have gaping flaws that only fools with wholeheartedly ignore.

Ideologies are shit. They bait you in with attractive half-truths, and then force you to accept a bunch of nonsense to go along with it. Consider each idea on its own merits. Ideological purity is massive overrated and is the source of a lot of problems.

This. Which is why it pisses me off that stormfags and tankies post here. They're both fucking retarded

'lol', followed by two memes. argumentation on Veeky Forums everyone

all of these

>Wanting to become biased
Just have a dynamic worldview that actually takes new information into account.

It's the only truly tenable position.

Committing to any type of political ideology permanently is foolish because different types of government are better for different places and times

I never feel like I know enough to be confident in a position. I can defend my position if someone is arguing me, but I always have my own doubts: do I know enough to place all my faith in this position? Can I reconcile this belief with all my other ones? What if I'm just rationalizing my support for this position because of recent events in my life? Am I currently in the rught frame of mind to e considering this? Are my actions consistent with my beliefs? Should they be?

It's not every day, but I have a lot of days when I feel like I don't understand anything: the world and how I fit in it, what I should be doing, or even who I actually am.

LUL exactly my solution also.

>tfw the radical left is doubling down
kek.

It always amuses me that white people assume minorities are like puppy dogs when they're mother fuckers and have to be mother fuckers to be socially accepted in the hood. Take this fag for example. He's probably never grew up near a real mother fucker in his life and thinks "racial realism" and "racial exclusion" are the same thing.

Not him but what's that?

California Youth Authority. Prison for people 12-25 years of age who are there on juvenile cases.

Gladiator school, newbooty.

Not that guy, but I grew up dirt poor and around plenty of motherfuckers and from my experience, they go hand in hand. Unless you're a scientist, making the very cautious, guarded statements that make it clear just how probable it is what you're claiming is wrong actual science is known for on the subject of "race realism" you're probably an asshole, and if you're not an asshole you're an ignoramus.

True.
Not really, theres a difference in arguing for something and just agree with something. I would say arguing is important because to argue efficiently(spelling) you need to understand both standpoints and do the math.
>Murica 1776
If you know history it shouldnt be hard to agree, that USA 1776 was the best system(best no-system) that lead to the best nation in the world in less than 200years

I don't recommend getting committed to any ideology wholesale; trying to live up an ideology is pretty silly, but don't be afraid to hold an opinion, just accept that you can be wrong and that you don't know as much as you think you do.

>If you know history it shouldnt be hard to agree, that USA 1776 was the best system(best no-system) that lead to the best nation in the world in less than 200years

I'd argue that a lot of that had to do with being in a massive, resource-rich country that's predominantly temperate.

Man gtfo

t. Survivor of guatamala

Oh with access to two oceans.

That's called being an introspective, curious human being without hubris. It's also existential hell.

Not my fault your country is shit.

Well they started literally from scratch, europe, especially the colonial powers, France, Britannia, Spain, Netherlands had massive gold depos from colonial stuff, yet they fugged up, fought each other etc.
The only good argument against 1776 is slavery and slave employees, but the same could be said about UK/France

Mark Levin pls go

I meant guantanamo, but yeaj

I didn't say it was a bad system, just that it was had perfect conditions in which to become an economic powerhouse. It's closest competition had a small fraction of the population it did, and it already had a foothold in the regions it wound up in competition with the other over.

>being more concerned about being able to defend your belief in an argument than being able to justify it to yourself
What an inauthentic fag.

Ideology is for people who lack the effort to think what has already been thought for themselves.

well it's okay, just do this; imagine you are about to be killed and you dream of all the things you wish you had cherished or wish you could have achieved

user what are those things?

>commit to any one political ideology or philosophical school of thought

idiot, it is a good thing you are so stupid.

Commit to quietism.

I know this feel but I'm realising that it's a good thing. Attaching yourself to an ideology or political figure if a bad idea and people will attack you based on every argument or proponent of that ideology.

Same, user. Currently I believe a minimum state would be ideal but I'm always doubting the ideology, myself and inevitably everything around me.
I suppose that means we're not insane and rabidly attached to our belifs but it makes me wonder if I'm not an apathetic in denial.

>>>/goybook/

Ideological commitment is hardly any different from religious conviction, and unless you're gaining some indirect tangible benefit like an improvement in your lifestyle, mental health, or acceptance into a community there's no point.

Whilst on this topic, is there a name for the study of how people form their political opinions. It's one of the few things that genuinely fascinates me, and like many other anons in this thread I struggle to get my arse off the fence and actually commit to something.

At the very least could someone suggest a book that discusses some ideas behind this. I know it's very broad but whatever.

Just join a political party like the rest of the dumbos

What is virtue?

>tfw to intelligent to commit to any one political ideology or philosophical school of thought

Stirner's door is open to everybody user.

>tfw too smart for Stirner

That's the problem. Spooks are the trap smart people are most prone to falling into.

They'll usually do that anyway. If you don't self-identify with a major ideology they'll just associate you with whichever one they hate the most.

>Not just playing the doubles advocate and arguing against whatever stance the guy you're talking to has

Do you even ideology, bro?

Ah yes, Stirner, probably one of the best philosophers to combat leftist ideology.

Knowing you know nothing is the beginnings of understanding the Socratic method. Ask everyone questions. Always.

It's easy, repeat after me:
>Have you considered the free market?
>Do not tread on me
>1776 will commence again
>Not an argument
>Plunder
>We don't need government to build roads
>In the future we'll have a jetpack

To combat any ideology because he rightly points out ideology is silly and benefits no-one other than those propagating it.

>tfw subscribe to all political ideologies because i can easily defend them and it gives me an opportunity to make lesser men feel like shit

>>Not an argument
I started to use this on the daily life. It enrages people like nothing else does. lol.

t. redditor homosexual

The man calling others spook is the biggest spook of all.

>not an argument

isn't that just a different way of saying "you're wrong?"

Not an argument.

The only thing that depresses me OP is the knowledge that I struggle to judge certain political perspectives objectively because I'm so annoyed by the people who propagate them. Take Marxism for example - I don't have an inside-out knowledge of Marxist political/economic/social theory, but everyone I know who identifies as one really just seems socially inept. From what I do know, Marxism certainly seems to have some valid points - but its modern adherents just come across as the most paranoid, bizarre people who would still be at the bottom of the heap even in the socialist utopia they're out to create.

Ideology is just a way for the elites to control the plebs

>mfw he was originally used to mock /pol/fags so that they would leave Veeky Forums

>too dumb
Learn rhetorics and how to argue. You really don't have to be smart at all to do this.

>encouraging dumb people to engage in cheap rhetoric that anyone with half a brain can btfo

If it's truly that easy you have no reason to be worried.

I never liked that quote but given the economic ideas popular at the time it is understandable.

Not that its totally wrong, it just doesn't factor in certain realities

Question then: would it be alright by Egoism to create my own ideology and make other people follow it?

Just become a centrist.
