Why are milennials so nihilistic?

well its one of the easiest conclusions to come to

But they all smell like hot horseshit in a pot of boiling oil.

you confuse nihilism with amorality
saying that you don't care about anything isn't nihilism

From which movie is this cutie?

right after religion yes
it's the most obvious step after rejecting religion, it's such a black/white way of thinking that everyone falls into

Those are the laggards who haven't yet progressed past nihilism to niceness.

Basically this. There was a time maybe 150 years ago, when life was a lot harder for an individual person, but the future seemed a lot more predictable. If you were a farmer, you could be fairly sure your kids would inherit your farm and they'd be farmers too. Now it seems like the world is changing beyond all understanding, and the human race has a future that could be either completely amazing or a kind of slow apocalypse. So it's kinda hard to believe in a rational world with a sense of purpose.

At least that's how I feel these days. I'm never having children because I have no idea what kind of life they might have.

>Why are milennials so nihilistic?
Why wouldn't they be?

I feel like the average millennial needs a yoke. They need a guiding purpose and principle. Left to their own devices they go to pieces.

not what i mean at all, nihilism is the most obvious and easiest step after religion

if you're born into religion, the moment you reject it, everything that once gave your life meaning is gone so babby's first step is nihilism

as i said it's a black/white mode of thought everyone tends to have

i fuckt up the greentext but you get the point

sure is reddit itt

>I feel like the average millennial needs a yoke.

The average person needs a yoke. It's a problem with philosophers that seem to believe that everyone is well suited for their retarded bullshit of free-thinking crap.

a unique combination of the typical postmodern trend we've been stuck in now for decades combined with the fact that society in general has been severely damaged in many ways by their irresponsible predecessors

so what we get is a dangerous cocktail and its not hard to see how people born into such a world would have their first instinct be to just give up

its not wrong though

because we all want to go backyoutube.com/watch?v=V-c8J7lnMrw

?? yes it is, i'm not confusing nihilism with anything, which i already pointed out

when did i say nihilism was "not caring about anything"?

Economic forces freeing people to do whatever they want. Since the governments does most what needs to be done (Healthcare, Public construction, Public Security); people don't have economic incentives to form communities (the community handled this things before) and, because of this, they don't have attachment to anything beyond their families and their friends.Their dog is more valuable to them than any stranger.

Little bitches are nihilistic because their lives don't give them organic meaning; no one needs them, they need no one. Some of them go on to pursue meaning in spirutal and philosophical traditions; but most milennials can't be bothered to do this work.

And this is the irony. Before, to be a nihilist was crazy because there were all kinds of incentives (community needs, family need, very present religion) to not become one. Now, the default state is nihilism.

This is why we need to listen to Plato and Aristotle when they talk about aristocracy. "Rule by the best." Why is that such a radical idea?

>hurr durr governments didn't exist before
Why are you fags trying to puzzle out what Nietzsche and Dosto and Kierkegaard explained a century ago?

>Why are milennials so nihilistic?

Blame the corporatists and educators that are playing them. These millennials were born into a time when multiple generations of their elders are atheist materialists who've actually deluded these kids into thinking that modern man has outgrown the sacred.

It's not their fault, really. The chips were stacked against them from the get-go.

someone post the Heidegger quote about humanity becoming spiritually dead plz

internet did it

Because there are no grand narratives left.

>the Christian religious world order narrative
collapsed

>the communist world order narrative
collapsed

>the nationalist world order narrative
collapsed

>the liberal capitalist world order narrative
collapsing

The only world order narrative left right now is the islamic one, though they are doing their best to kill themselves off

I will never get people who romanticise dying from dysentery.

god is dead

every generation is nothing but a product of the previous generations
how could it possibly be anything else?
how could you ever look at a newborn infant and predict what it is to become without first knowing the world that surrounds it? a world which it has quite obviously had no say in prior to its existence and will continue to be utterly powerless against for much of its formative years
can anybody really be so dense as to believe that the infamous millennial is truly some new breed of human that inexplicably sprang up from nothing? or is it that perhaps such antagonism is nothing more than a facade built to even further shirk responsibility

The communist world order narrative is still very much alive

yeah, not even in North Korea, tankie

They're the fastest growing religion. I'm unironically counting on these guys to save us from a feminist dystopia.

Man was born to war. When we have nothing to fight for we begin to fight ourselves and our nature. Thus we become hostile towards the natural tribalism, we try to be cosmopolitan. We've been domesticated

>I'm unironically counting on these guys

You're a shiftless worm. Grow a pair.

Yeah, you can lecture people on the internet all you want but the reality is that Western men are simply complacent.

PROTIP: Actively rooting for outside nations who want you culturally abolished is being even more complacent. At least the ideologically hoodwinked in the West have their naivety and ignorance as excuses to fall back on. You are just woeful.

PROTIP: this is stupid

Anyways, I agree with Muslims on a lot of things. I don't drink, smoke, do drugs, etc. and I think those are harmful to society. Also they might just be the only people left on earth who have not been converted to egalitarianism. Of course I don't even need to go into gender and race.

>Anyways, I agree with Muslims on a lot of things. I don't drink, smoke, do drugs, etc. and I think those are harmful to society.

So you have a similar attitude toward recreational substances and you think that supporting the goal of a worldwide caliphate in a faith that you have no personal interest in practicing is the answer.

Somehow you've managed to be even more ideologically beta than the leftist nu-males.

I don't know how you did it but damn it all if you didn't find a way.

You fucking shiftless worm, don't cut a piece of my post and respond as if that was the only thing I said.

>lazy edonist cunts
>nihilistic

At best they're wanna be Starbuck Diogenes. Stupid millenial OP.

Jews.

>don't cut a piece of my post and respond as if that was the only thing I said.

The other point is equally retarded and didn't even need mentioning. But if you insist:
>So you have a similar attitude toward egalitarianism and you think that supporting the goal of a worldwide caliphate in a faith that you have no personal interest in practicing is the answer.

You're honestly not very bright.

I have no problem larping as a Muslim as I tried to hint. I honestly don't believe Western men can form a coherent answer to feminism.

You make caricatures of the opposing viewpoint, debunk it then declare yourself the winner.

>I have no problem larping as a Muslim as I tried to hint.

Just hide thread. Why would you even try to claim that now? Fuckin Y I K E S.

>19th and 20th century

>It doesn't matter too much how hard you work. Only if you happen to be very very excellent, then you will rise to "riches" (I mean, you already are rich compared to 19th and 20th century). If you don't work at all, your socialist government will just feed you because it practically doesn't cost anything.

Gee I wonder why

now this is just some bullshit

back then anybody could walk into a business and get a decent job and basic provisions were priced fairly

nowadays you gotta jump through 20 hoops just to have even a chance at a shitty job and things cost like 50x as much as they used to even though wages have only increased 10x

and nothing has changed in terms of the fact that the world is ruled by a privileged elite and the average wageslave will never have any chance no matter how hard they work

>Things cost like 50x as much as they used to

There's no need to get too theoretical/intelligent. Just:
1. Look at home of minimum-wage worker in 19th or 20th century
2. Look at home of minimum-wage worker of 21th century

Clearly standard of living has exponentially exploded. Money/inflation/relative compensation... pfft. Just trust your observations instead of trusting these "numbers".

Besides I also agree with you about the numbers. Maybe liter of milk costed less compared to wage back then. Maybe house did. Maybe car did. Computer certainly didn't. Milk is same nowadays. Houses are better. Cars are better. Hard to evaluate.

They just fuck, drink and yolo all day everyday. Why aren't they then hedonists?

>Milk is same nowadays. Houses are better. Cars are better.
Wrong.

America is still overwhelmingly Christian.

Millennials are nihilists because it's assholes like you that don't understand Christianity but claim to be the arbiters of it and pervert its meaning that drive us away.

Our parents live in bubbles. They can't see the writing on the wall but most millenials I talk to do.

They know that one day the internet is going to turn off, that there's going to be a war that destroys this decadence. It's like we're on a train that's barreling toward really unstable track, and we can all see it coming but the people just older than us don't want to do anything to change our direction.

Honestly, I think we're fatalists more than nihilists.

you know that girl is dead

>le everyone is wrong we are the only ones who see the horrible truth
You're not really a millennial if you are 14 today.

Cowardice and meekness. It ain't cool to stand or take responsability for anything no more. It's comfy to whine and roll your eyes.

>America is still overwhelmingly Christian.
In the most perverted sense, yes. But the spirituality there is limited and unhealthy, maybe even perverse. It's Christianity without Christ.

The most valuable thing about Christianity is indeed the Christian morality, not the mythological aspect of it and certainly not the zombie jew.

Look, I don't know what's on the other track but that rickety bridge that were headed toward looks like shit option.

Who here unironically believes we are living in hell? The optimist thought is just fucking insane
>we are living in the best of all possible worlds
if we take this at face value, this means this world, with all the suffering, disease, death and injustice cannot become better, no matter how much we try. If this is the best of all possible worlds, it makes me shudder thinking about the worst of all worlds

I wrote a story once where he'll is exactly the same as this earth and reality except you can't die and everyone who has ever lived is there.

There's no heaven in the story. Heaven is just the ability to die.

...

>>the nationalist world order narrative
>collapsed
Au contraire

this. ironically Nietzsche advocated for anti-nihilism, he knew life had no inherent meaning, it was up to the individual to give meaning in their lives

>all these nihilist fucks
wew lads, my life is great

>never having children

It might be more difficult to predict their career path, but wouldn't you agree that we can assume people are healthier now? (compared to someone wondering if their child would be healthy at birth and through life 150 years ago)

From an evolutionary perspective, it seems fitness is better now, at least for the immediate next generation. Climate change may change that eventually though.

and we killed him

>people implying it's somehow bold or respectable to not default to nihilism

Old people and degenerates have always repeated what you just said, every generation. Doesn't make it true. Time to get clued in.

Child mortality is down but life quality is still largely awful in all sorts of situations.

Stop trying to bring a "evolutionary perspective" to social life though, this is retarded and thinking human life as a mechanical function is one of the great ruins of the 20th century.

Since the Material World, the Self, and the Object offer nothing at best, believing they are all there is will inevitably lead one to believe that everything is nothing.

The idea that there are lives so bad as to not be worth living is a denigration of consciousness.

Do your children the honor of letting them exist so they can decide for themselves if an uncertain world is worth living in.

Barring the extraterrestrial invasion of the planet by a species who worship pain and seek to convert the world into a negative feelings farm, where every type of horror is perpetrated on people who can never die and so on and so forth, then you have a good chance of having a child who will appreciate being alive.

>degenerates
whats the point in reading your "argument" when i know you have a tiny brain?

>le pol is evil11 xd reddit

I didn't know they let you have computers in jail, Ted

I didn't even mention /pol/, but since you bring it up they are a bunch of autistic faggots and i hope the white genocide comes swifter than they ever imagined.

She is canadian

Lots of people are user, that doesn't really narrow it down

Because we have abandoned god.There's nothing to live up to,no grand visions to pursue . To our demise not only hedonism is being held as the highest of virtues but also became the integral part of social justice.i could go on but i won;t be,i feel like killing myself already.

this.

>combined with the fact that society in general has been severely damaged in many ways by their irresponsible predecessors

Could you give an example?

Women's rights leading to unstable gender roles and making dating and love near-impossible for the average man.

Because it's an idea the millennials hate. They learned to hate it. It's rooted in egoism and envy.

I think it meant by the recklessness of the entire 20th century from totalitarian radicalism to hippies .

However i don't agree with it,it's always been the case,the younger generation were always burdened with the mess of their ancestors that they seeks to rectify.

>the nationalist world order narrative
>collapsed

It never collapsed, it was merely defeated.

Lol

Why do you prefer Islam over nationalism?

I wouldn't expect a woman to understand.

>implying he's not right
>i will just lol him
you go girl.

They aren't.

I'm not even going to take the time to correct you since it just means more competition. 90% of attractive single women are out whoring around because there are barely enough dudes who realize what's going on to make up a rounding error in 2017.

Think about this: Women take their cues from men, so if large populations of women are engaged in degeneracy it's because men have fallen even further.

How does that contradict what I said? Men gave women rights.

b-but muh space travel...?

the final frontier, man!
