Then isn’t Older Pig right? Under capitalism you have no choice but work for survival?

No he said you have to work for someone else I believe

but thats not true as you can make a business

And capitalism is completely voluntary, there is no coercive force

But with the government taxing, it is completely forceful

Yes, as you violate your agreement with society by not paying taxes society agrees to

I didn't agree anything

there is no "social contract"

Taxation violates rights

I gtg for a bit

@BaneOfThots

So that article

about the Trump debt

Are you going to call it fake news or actually discuss it?

I did

go for it then

Do you think Nietzsche is a nihilist

of course not, nobody thinks that

Nietzsche is famous still because he was among the first to acknowledge the death of god and to offer modern solutions to the issue of purpose

For some reason, nihilism tends to attract edgy teens who simply equate the two together

so im happy you're not one of them

thinly veiled nihilism is the state in which most exist

I think the acknowledgement of it is a step forward for those edgy kids

I was there when I was a teenager

Trump lied

ffs

That story made my day

I casn't tell if it's fr

Next Trump will say "it's raining cats and dogs"

I don't particularly like trump, but good on him for buying an American feast for the national camps

wtf

I used to support trump but he lied to me wtf

Bro we were discussing post-nihilism here

"Three pinnochios, dogs and cats do not rain" - WaPO fact check

Personally, I think that if people don't read into existentialism or put effort into understanding it themselves it is used as "muh.. life has no meaning and stuff so i dont wanna study"

speaking of nihilism

I think it's actually good that life has no set purpose

if life did have a purpose then you wouldn't truly have free will

That is the post-nihilist perspective
