Hello, Veeky Forums
I admin a discord server about debates, especially about politics and literature and Max Stirner has increasingly been used to derail conversation there.
Can someone explain to me what's the deal with his philosophy and why it's being used by trolls?
Thanks

Part of it is because his philosophy appeals to /pol/ crossboarders.
Odd. Stirner is anarchist, not wingnut
Likely they're just memers who don't even understand.
But he does win all

Because its a hammer against most common ideologies
It's a surface-level understanding, yes, but so is most everyone else's here-- I guess it's just fun to shout "spooks!" at feminism and postcolonialism.
epic meme philosopher Veeky Forums obsesses over because nobody else knows he exists
also believed in ghosts what a fucking idiot
what the fuck is a "discord server"?
>Stirner is anarchist
I've never hated you more, fuckfly.
Do you not realize that the obsession with "anarchy" is just as much as a spook as capitalism, Marxism, or democracy? Quit applying names you don't understand to philosophy that you so obviously don't understand.
Those who haven't read him see him as a weapon against grand ideology and empty language. He was certainly an opponent. But beyond that, they don't understand why he was an opponent and they don't understand the dialectics behind it. Basically the less someone knows about a topic the more eager they are to mouth off about it
If you want an easy way to counter them, read his book and point out when they fuck up.
No, I understand it quite well.
Let me guess, you're one of those people that think we're incapable of being not religious.
