It really is weird though how great the living conditions in the western world are and have been compared to all of human history, and yet how much unrest there is from people that it's not even better. Hopefully people don't fuck it all up.
It'd be interesting to see what the history books have to say about modern times 50 years from now.
Isn't mean world syndrome just nihilism
Isn't nihilism more like not giving a fuck about anything?
nah, Nihilism means that you think that everything is ultimately pointless
nothing matters,
Why work? we're gonna die anyway
that sort of thinking
as for Mean world syndrome, thats afaik, the state where people believe the world is full of bad people, so they are scared of the people etc
basically that thing SJW's have, where they think America is full of nazi's now
Ah, won't they be scared of other SJW's as well? Or they would be scared if they are from a different 'tribe'?
well, its a bit less "tribe-y" than that,
Basically its generated in people who watch a lot of those police shows,
So they start to think that theres constantly robbers everywhere etc
its primarily media induced
really bugs me how people use nihilism to describe SJWs or other far lefties
they are not real nihilists
Not real communi-... i mean Nihilism you say????? 🤔
nah you're right, real nihilists wouldn't bother protesting, because "It doesn't matter, we'll die anyway, even the oppressors"
most SJW's just think that their behaviour will get them free things and power
it's also the belief in a value structure, which far lefties and SJW absolutely do have, despite all their moaning about how everything is a social construct that needs to be torn down.
well thats because they're based on lies
"Its okay when we do it" is pretty much their rule
most SJW's are just sold on lies, because they WANT to believe
they don't actually think about how extreme they're doing, because to them its a good vs bad fantasy
I think they believe that it is possible to create an idealistic society where everything works and there are no injustices
yes, they want to believe
and they justify their behaviour as "It is for the good of all mankind"
I think it is normal for an immature mind to think that it is possible for a utopia, but when I kinda get more mature, I start to see the reality of things
Not sure when those SJW's gonna mature the fuck up
'as for Mean world syndrome, thats afaik, the state where people believe the world is full of bad people, so they are scared of the people etc'
had exchange few days ago and the two people I talked to basically said that yes, given chance, people in the west today would be fine with genocide or whatever historical atrocity you can think of because people are evil to the bone
well thats the truth of growing up,
You start to accept the things you can not change, you start to realise that there must always be sacrifice,
SJW's were always given what they want if they just started screeching loud enough.
Which is why they're doing what they're doing right now
how do you have conversation with someone who believes people are evil and always have the worst intentions..
you tell them its not evil, but selfish pragmatism
half the people in the world are okay with genocide
look at history, its full of murders, genocides, wars
eh, whatever
you don't agree? you think history was just people hugging?
I don't dispute history, I just don't think modern people would be fine with most of what happened in the past.
You haven't been to Africa or the Middle east 😉
I was talking about the west..
Oh the west has them too, plenty of them
its jsut that most hide it better
well, than we are fucked and nothing matters anymore
look at the democrats in America for example,
They're outraged Trump isn't nuking Russia for alleged influence of the vote
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
