This whole recent turn to religion by left intellectuals is pathetic and sad, especially the attempt to make of religion of modernity. Modernity already has a religion, it's called Christianity which is why everything these fools come up with sounds exactly the same. It's like they've never read Nietzsche before.

Maybe instead of waiting for the messiah we should unleash the productive forces and give birth to the ubermensch.

that's bullshit i only clicked once

but as long as its a double-post my understanding from reading maggotmaster dot com is that there are a lot of catholic stalinists on tumblr except they're basically fascists. i don't raeally understand because it is all unspeakably trivial and even my time is more valuable than that

what whole recent turn?



Meillassoux, A.C. Grayling, Simon Critchley, Badiou, Zizek, Terry Eagleton, etc. It's not so bad when it's explicitly framed as a appropriation of Christianity along Hegelian lines, but when it's presented as something completely new it's particularly frustrating. But either way Nietzsche is better.

'Women crave for being loved, not for loving. They scream out at you for sympathy all day long, they are incapable of giving any in return, for they cannot remember your affairs long enough to do so…They cannot state a fact accurately to another, nor can that other attend to it accurately enough for it to become information.

marimite why do you like nietzche so much



Well, there's all sorts of reasons. Almost every interesting innovation in 20th century philosophy is an appropriation of Nietzsche in some form, particularly those of Heidegger, Bataille, Deleuze, and Foucault. Nietzsche was the first great anti-humanist who saw the amalgamation of forces underlying humanity and saw the human as something to be overcome. His genealogy is among the best accounts of the ends of culture, religion, and philosophy that exists. He was the first to see the nihilism inherent in modernity and the development of culture in general, and also to see how this nihilism could be overcome. Really, it's pretty hard to overstate how important he is. If you would like to know more, I recommend Deleuze's Nietzsche & Philosophy.

all political positions are due to your current sexile relation ships or lack of same. for exmaple i was a communist because i knew a person like my wife could never exist under communism. now i am obsessed with personal autonomy and the goal of true love being an abstract ability to feel affinity and appreciation towards another human without being affected by anything they do in they are life or have anything you do in you are life affect them. hello tumblr polyamorous liberalism or some shit
