Any mention of Hegel, Freud, or atheism as a school of thought.

>that feel when i cant relate to anyone because everyone is a pleb and hasnt read a specific book i read halfway through.

Oh shit, maybe I am.

how can be they a school of thought, anyways?

Rank Abbr. Meaning
FPBP Family Planning Benefit Program (New York State Department of Health; Abany, NY)
FPBP Fundacja Porozumienie Bez Przemocy (Polish: Foundation for Nonviolent Communication)
FPBP Framed Pseudo-Bayesian Priority
FPBP Food for Progress for Bangladesh Project


Which 1?

Probably a preoccupation with intellectualism as a concept rather than the actual topics usually associated and having a bunch of affectations.

wat

Fake it at first and then if you keep faking it eventually you might make it.

Communism. Literally every teenager who has read some Marx falls into considering himself as an intellectual since he sees himself as the only one who knows the truth about the capitalist production system while his parents, all of his classmates, friends... are victims of false consciousness. Some grow out of this bullshit, some don't.

so basically using over specific terms in day to day conversations?

like you?

ok, so:
1. Got hyped out with communism.

anything else?

There's only one sign: writing incoherent gibberish, and admiring writers who write incoherent gibberish.

Examples: Hegel, Bergson, Heidegger, Benjamin, Gadamer, Lacan, Adorno, Sartre, Levinas, Arendt, Merleau-Ponty, Levi-Strauss, Beauvoir, Ricoeur, Lyotard, Deleuze, Foucault, Derrida, Irigaray, Badiou, Nancy, Rancière, Kristeva, Agamben, Latour, Zizek, Butler.

>Right Wing

Instantly dropped

>I'm not dumb, it's j-just all gibberish, all of it!

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Marx did not discuss "communism" at any length. 99.99% of his work involves building an abstract model of 19th century capitalism.

i agree

good troll

So as long what you write is consistent without any gibberish, wrote it in concise and clear mannerism, you are not one?

If they talk about spooks.

>le "communism is not the same as socialism" meme
Okay, you've also read Lenin.
I was talking about communism as an ideology. I could have said "marxism" tho.

What? You should seriously read at least "Capital, volume 1" before talking trash about ideas you don't understand.

Marx talks in depth about the abolition of social classes, a substansial if the not the most important component of communism

You're psuedo intellectualism is showing

The need for validation by others. So basically most of the posters on Veeky Forums

>You're psuedo intellectualism is showing
>You're
>You are

Oh, the irony.

First post best post

Let me point you gentlemen in the right direction
>>>marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1867-c1/

I'd say conflict with others for self validation and the validation of the others who buy into whatever faux ideology they are infatuated with

Any one with a remote amount of character and brain power won't waste his time with such disputes unless on a formal level

Hey OP here's another sign of pseudointellectualism: constantly tell people to read ( semi-related) with a passive-aggressive tone instead of actually defending your points

No, he didn't. You have clearly never read Marx. He was not a moralist. He was purporting to give an objective account of capitalism as it existed in his own time.

There's nothing wrong with reading, you illiterate buffoon.

A correction of a minor and accidental grammar error, universally agreed to be the lowest possible retort

He talked about abolition of social classes and substantial talks about principles which will create such abolition. He talked about many other things, but the other guy was attempting to severely downplay his role in communism because it is a buzz word to trigger hatred

Clearly you read Marx but didn't want to understand it

The only worthy books ever written are the Bible and Summa Teologica

ah Ok, understood. Tell people to read instead of expaining why you disagree?

Dostoevsky is their "favourite" author.
/thread

marxist jargon

But he's good

Yeah, also dropping author's and booookz' names, excessively quoting and all of that

>He talked about abolition of social classes and substantial talks about principles which will create such abolition.

Marx theorized that capitalism would eventually give way to communism, with a transition period called the dictatorship of the proletariat. He never advocated for any particular "communist" ideology; he did not express value judgments either way.

>He talked about many other things, but the other guy was attempting to severely downplay his role in communism because it is a buzz word to trigger hatred

The term "communism" was invented by Marx. He used it as a placeholder for what was to come. He did not spend time outlining some utopian vision of the future. His interest was in crafting an accurate scientific model of the economic system of the 19th century.

Dear America;

Atheos Vult.

>He never advocated for any particular "communist" ideology
fuckin wew lad

...

>they identify as "smart but lazy"

You're not even a pseud - you're too dumb and illiterate for that. Your only excuse is that you have Down's.

damn u got me

>what is a manifesto
>what is the IWA

Generally speaking people that drop alot of well known philosopher's or authors names thinking they are hot shit or post about philosophy on Facebook.

Usually they mention:
>Nietzsche
>sartre
>Kant
>Marx
>confucius

But maybe thats just normies.

How in the hell can you be "psuedo-intellectual" what the hell does that even mean? Doesn't that just make you a dumb ass saying words you can't pronounce or comprehend? What is even the benefit of that?

>science as a noun

I'll pass

People who think philosophy equals "deep" quotes on fancy backgrounds

What do you think it is, Einstein? An adverb?

Most retarded post of the year goes to you - congratulations!

Can't teleologically suspend the ethical

It's a verb.
i.e. "I'm gonna science the shit out of this"

That means to be sound smart to impress people who doesn't even care about it.

Hasn't read the meme trilogy

Pseudointellectual here ama

>cuties think im intelligent
>teachers told me i was some kind of genius
>bros admired me

Meanwhile i just parroted ideas that were popular on cantonese crop rotation forums and a site where you read it, aswell as remembering Wikipedia articles.

I got a scholarship out of it too, but i think my affinity regarding cricket played a part in this too.

>cricket
Pajeet pls

Has it so far benedicial for your life? And how do you do your thing most of the time? can you give me example pls b0ss?

Posting on Veeky Forums

bot him but

- as he said, qt 3.14 (im average, 7/10 at most, and still get laid without even trying)

Can somebody please tell /r9k/ that Elliot Roger's manifesto is not literature but the diary of a failed faggot full of cringe and spaghetti?

Somebody that browses Veeky Forums to feel smart but doesn't understand any of the references on it
So yeah, me

...

it's non fiction literature

As someone who actually is a Marxist you're full of shit Liberal apologist and should be purged of course Marx advocated Communism you fucking retard

saged

This thread itself has proved that most of you are pseudo-intellectuals. you goddamn niggers

>Sartre
>Heidegger
>Hegel
>Adorno
>Foucault
>gibberish

Mate I'm sure you just can't read, those are all simple as fuck

I think most of Veeky Forums freely admits they're pseudo-intellectuals.

>Heidegger
>simple as fuck
wew lad

They're atheist

How to be Pseudo Intellectual #1:
telling others what they should read.

How to be Pseudo Intellectual #2:
Using names of philosophers and psychologists in the same sentence without knowing either.

Yeah you need to read in detail and not be distracted but something like Intro To Metaphys or Being And Time isn't an insurmountable Finnegan's Wake-tier challenge

If you take any of these people seriously

How to be Pseudo Intellectual #3:
Judging other intellectuals without having achieved anything worth the same.

>Benjamin
>incoherent gibberish

... how?

Agree

How to be Pseudo Intellectual #4:
Talking about Communism (politics) while mentioning Marx (philosophy) and forgetting Friedrich Engels all the way.

(or in other word: being a lefty just because it's "intellectual")

Exceptions to this include Benjamin and Sartre's literary criticism, and Tristes Tropiques by Levi-Strauss

How to be Pseudo Intellectual #3:
judging

you just went full retard

>noko
Are you from 2011?

"The most important part of literature is prose"

I can't look at pictures like this without imagining that there's porn of it

pseud spotted

he never said that there was anything wrong with reading.
its people who tell someone else in a passive-agressive way to go read X, that are pseuds.
I agree. If you cant actually form a cogent argument in favor of whatever you read, telling someone to go read what you're defending is proof enough that you just have no idea what you're doing

>He was not a moralist
>not
>a moralist

The fact that you identify as "Marxist" is the part of the problem. Marx would have nothing to do with self-described "Marxists" as they exist today. In fact, if you define the term to denote seeing the world the way Marx did, then the business elites in America are all instinctive Marxists seeing how they are deeply committed to class struggle and are engaged in it all the time.

^ Pseud detected.

I've never met a fanboy of Milton Friedman who was well-read or knowledgeable about anything.

>its people who tell someone else in a passive-agressive way to go read X, that are pseuds.

Uh, pretty sure that if someone misrepresents a thinker's views so egregiously as to come out on the opposite side, then the best advice is for them to actually read the work before commenting any further.

Is Benjamin the only one you think shouldn't be on that list?

You missed the point, dummy....

Marx had a great deal of importance to say about social and political issues, and about the economy, considering mostly an abstract model of 19th century capitalism which still provides much useful insight. He didn’t actually have a "plan". He said very little about the nature of a post-capitalist society other than how to obtain it.

Get some real opinions son, parroting Chomsky doesn't make you look intelligent

Stop embarrassing yourself

Camus over Sartre because The Stranger is required reading in high school at this point

>Catch 22 favorite book
>Joycean [araby, dubliners, portrait aside] = hipster pseudo-intellectualism
>Reading Zarathustra and quoting it word for word
>"Socrates said"
>"Socrates was executed for...!"
>finding Chris McCandless exceptionally relatable
>using magnum opus to describe your own work
>"Shakespeare is overrated"
>"le brave new world is far superior, orwell is basic"

Some of these are worse than others.

>Women
>Fatsos
>Jews
>East Europeans
>Atheists
>YA novels authors
>Asians
Those were never and never will be considered intellectuals.
