When Pro-Capitalists Try Reading much less Comprehending Stirner (Challenge Impossible)

When Pro-Capitalists Try Reading much less Comprehending Stirner (Challenge Impossible)

And now we watch and wait for the contrarian "whataboutisms" from these volatile, emotionally fragile status quo bootlickers, deflecting to critiquing socialism instead, as if that compensates for their lack of critical self-reflection.

"*Blank* is only there to be stolen."

I have a question. The Mods have been using a particular phrase liberally on the subreddit. When I see this phrase, I perceive it as a threat, so I'd like to open the floor here. If I said something along the lines of "Your life is only there to be stolen" or "Your life is My Property", would any of you perceive these phrases as a threat against you or your property?

I don't care about law or rules one way or another, but Reddit has rules. Rules that, if the mods are breaking them, puts our entire community here on Reddit at risk, and that's a problem in my opinion. What happens if and when the mods get reported for the threats these statements represent?

The current mod team should dissolve, and then everyone registered to the subreddit should be given mod privileges. Firstly, it's an unjustified heirarchy. They clearly don't know how to operate a subreddit appropriately and are putting the rest of our presence here at risk, we would be better off if all members of the community had equal say in moderator matters. Secondly, I didn't consent to be moderated by people who are obviously stupider than I am. And thirdly, the fact that there's a mod team at all is antithetical to egoism in the first place. If the mods aren't going to be held to account for using language that can be perceived as a threat, then the community should operate the subreddit, not a group of moderators, because the moment they fuck something up, the whole thing goes up in smoke because a few morons held the keys.

Give us all the keys.

Mark Twain may have not been the most egoist writer, but here's my favorite chapter of the mysterious stranger.

The relevancy is I want to share it and thought this crowd might appreciate it a bit.

Is there any writing or letters left by Stirner's spouses on him?

Almost all of the reports we have on Stirner in his personal life comes from other members of the Young Hegelians which come from a obviously ideologically filtered place, so i was wondering if either Agnes Burtz or Marie Dähnhardt wrote anything about what was living with him.

Stirner idealisation is spooky

I get that there is a fanbase about this man, because he wrote a book that pleased most of us and even changed lives, but what the fuck is going on with people viewing his as an godlike entity and comparing random ass people to him as they would come close to the stirnerian ideal, when stirner had only one ideal and that was his unique. There is nothing unique to people who try to be him and there is nothing unique about people you try to compare him to - by definition of THE UNIQUE. Read the fucking book instead of roleplaying edgy philosophy shitheads

why sv3rige / goatis literally is max stirner.

not only does sv3rige and max stirner both reject the metaphysical.

but sv3rige often speaks about ”spooks”, although, he instead refers them simply as ”fake”.

(social constructs that has no inherent value). 

other than ”spooks” such as countries, money, and education, they both also speak about objective morality being a spook.

(sv3rige calls it fake).

they both believe that the core of human nature is self-interest. and they promote for people to recognize their own self-interest, and to act purely out of their own will.

stirner isn't concerned with the "natural state" of man like sv3rige is.

Does anybody else like to read comicbooks and are interested in the X-Men?

I wanted to ask about this because I'm an avid comic reader and have been in the X-Men fandom for a while. You can guess the reason behind... the minority, marginalized group metaphor.

However, I really don't feel like it is a good metaphor for the oppressed groups at all, moreso, it is a very liberal interpretation of the oppressed minorities imo.

I wanted to ask of this, because I'm new to the fandom, and I'm also newly learning about the leftist/anarchism from a more academic & intellectual sense. This is why I'm unable to put my finger on the exact problem. It's just that something doesn't sit right with me and I wanna know if there are other long-term fans of this franchise who are also leftists and could come to the mutant metaphor from a leftist approach, that can bring some clarity into this. I didn't know where else to share this.

I'm also curious how would an anarchist/egoist who lives in the same world as mutants, would approach them and see them as?
