Do you notice how a lot of millenials are self-defeating sometimes to the point of nihilism?
Some interesting stuff going on there.
Essentially it is a fragmentation of consciousness where one part desires success and living up to inflated social media social statuses, whereas there is still this other part which desires deep loving connection and a family, and these two aspects are in conflict with one another.
These aspects of the subconscious then sabotage each other. The part which wants deep loving connection sees the part that wants success and says no way, there is nothing for me there. The part which wants success sees the part that just wants a family and says no way, that's not the optimum route to success. That is where the self-sabotage comes from and the millennial's internal struggle.
The resolve this scenario the two aspects have to be integrated and co-operate. Essentially the conscious mind has to intervene in the subconscious inner conflict to resolve it and then the individual and work towards a plan which incorporates both goals as a compromise.
So why is this prevalent? Was this prevalent in previous generations? Did they grow out of it? Are millenials growing out of it? What does it look like for zoomers? And what is the cure at both an individual and societal level?
I would argue that this quasi-nihilistic attitude is a direct result of how easy life is in the West. We have an unprecedented level of luxury. The average westerner has want for nothing. So then what is the point in living if existence itself is no longer a struggle?
People's past answered this with religion, but secularization has killed that. We young people have nothing. No real existential threat, no faith, no national love.
Of course, once you swallow the redpill, this changes a little. Hence it is so intoxicating.
Samuel Robinson
Yeah that's certainly a factor. And how the jews destroyed our culture. Why even participate in or contribute towards that at all at this point. At that point it can become difficult to not extrapolate towards general nihilism.
Isaac Harris
I genuinely believe that meaning is as much a need for life as water. A husk is someone who walks around living for the sake of living. You say it is just a factor, what are your other ideas?

Social media. We see everyone's greatest vacation moments and fanciest parties and most delicious meals all day every day, giving people the impression that they are somehow "missing out" by not being out having similar experiences constantly.
Not anywhere near as bad as it is now.
No, because they were never in it. The "goal" in previous generations was job + house + family, not endless escapism.
No. Millennials are the new boomers. They will be a trash generation for the rest of their lives.
Zoomers will end up being very similar to Gen-X. Confused, angry, but capable of making positive change in the world.
Stop using social media as much as possible. Live a traditional life. Have a family. Kill all niggers.

You realize that if you follow any belief that is not earthbound and physical, then you are a nihilist? Even believing in the future is a different branch of nihilism.

Their not self defeated OP. 3 declines in this pooper country created the problem. 9/11 the 2008 housing collapse and a muslim president and they lived through it which took a toll on them plus the waves and waves of tech fads that swept through the country in the past 20 years.

I recommend The Specter of the Absurd to anyone looking to understand the sources of nihilism in Western society. Sadly it's hard to find online since it's an academic work.
Millennials who aren't urbanites are having white kids and are redpilled on everything we are, but are quiet about it because of fear of losing their jobs. A lot of them began having kids around 28-34 for the men, Millennial women who aren't urbanites had kids 20-25. Millennial men are going for trad zoomer women.
I think the black pill you see with generations (besides the boomer menace) is exclusively urbanites.
I've met a few white men of good character and high intellect who didn't have a family or woman and weren't gay, they all had some genetic disease that wasn't readily apparent that would cause an early death or extreme pain. They all had noble motivations of not leaving a family without a father or being a burden on their family. They never resorted to abject hedonism either, simply found religion or some peace of mind to help their majority white community,

Actually, since I've been trying to get back into "actual" philosophy, let me write down some of Crosby's points right now:
>Four salient ideas inform the dominant social philosophy of the modern period, usually termed the philosophy of bourgeois liberalism. Each idea epitomizes the extreme individualism characterizing this philosophy. The four ideas are the concept of social contract; its accompanying notion of a state of nature; an instrumentalist interpretation of political institutions; and a "negative" conception of political freedom, emphasizing "freedom from" rather than "freedom for".
No doubt you've heard of these ideas before.
Crosby goes on to describe the aforementioned ideas along the lines of development from the Enlightenment into modernity, citing for example Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau. He then looks at the "darker" aspects of these views:
Isaiah Berlin was a Jew. No surprises there.
Again, no surprise there.

Colton Morris
Yeah, our generation has been hugely kiked. It's hard not to be, and if you're redpilled, it's much worse.
Ayden Smith
I hate this Jewish proposed "Generations". Any fucking kike can see that they are 'counting down' and that Gen Z would be the last 'normal' generation according to Jewish Sociologists. It all coincides nicely with the Bezemov observation: 1. Demoralization → Gen X 2. Crisis → Gen Y 3. Normalization → Gen Z 4. Destabilization → Whatever-fancy-word-they-conjure-up
This whole "Generation" tripe is a bullshit fad. Just another chalk on the identity politics board caused to sow division between like-minded people across generations.
>[…] I have become increasingly convinced over the quarter of a century of my teaching career that they [His students] come to this conclusion [That the humanities deal in relativistic ideals as opposed to the natural sciences] in large measure because of the tacit influences of the social institutions that nurture them. To put the point more bluntly, I am asserting that they are routinely schooled in nihilism by governmental and other social organizations cast in the mod of the individualistic liberalism I have been discussing. Thus, they tend to confuse the virtue of toleration with an attitude of polite nonintereference [Yes, reference, not non-interference] in disputed questions of value, and they instinctively assume that the only alternative to a relativistic perspective on values is an unyielding absolutism they sense to be untenable in this kind of world in which we live. When these young people do react against relativism - and some do so with a passion born of despair - they often opt for a type of religiously sanctioned authoritarian absolutism[…].
Sound familiar, anons?

That's true, but one late Gen X woman I know is a single mother of two kids, the father went to prison for dealing heroin, and she's a slut (albeit for White cock only). And she comes from a less urbanized and rural area. The only positives I can see is that they're more fertile than their urban counterparts, that's it.

The study was done in 1985. Just think about their findings and how much worse it must be NOW.

>Of course, the doctrine of negative freedom forbids me from taking unfair advantage of others (i.e., it prohibits my deliberately interfering with any individuals right to freedom), but I am expected to take fair advantage of material resources and as much status and satisfaction as I can. […] (((Alfie Kohn))) gives us a concise statementt of this aspect of the liberal creed when he notes the widespread assumption in Western societies that "competition brings out the bst in us. To compete is to strive for goals, to learn competence, to reach for success. Without competition, even minimal productivity, to say nothing of excellence, would disappear".
Pretty fuckin' ironic isn't it.
Jacob Bell
Crosby proceeds to cuck the fuck out and connect Weimar-style liberalism as the cause for the rise of national socialism in Germany. Which isn't wrong but you already know the usual talking points here: Jews were easy scapegoats, dindu nuffin, people longing for a Führer and so forth.
I believe I've made my point though, or rather he made his.
If you continue the train of thought Crosby lays out you'll readily see why we've reached a society of relativistic hedonistic egotists, finding their ultimate expression in a degenerate (jewish) elite and autogynephiles.
Except what about the working class who gets fuck over by bourgoise socialists

the constant ad barrage on internet and tv got them hard. they've been trimmed, milked and now have no money for downpayments.
Christian Baker
She probably receives a greater sense of belonging and less pressure by being homeless than trying to live within regular society. Ultimately it's just escapism on her part. I'm sure many of us, even here, thought at one point or another how nice it might be to go to jail and not having to worry about freedom of choice anymore.
Grayson Price
I have the feeling that Gen Z are Nietzsches Übermenschen. Their humour is post-postmodernism so essentially mysticism and they are very conservative at the same time. These kid faggots that get pranced around at the gaybars are an exception.
Bentley Phillips
note he says this but not "kill all jews" jews are #1 priority always

Globalists want Teddy Bears; Phlegmatic; individuals tend to be relaxed, peaceful, quiet, and easy-going. They are sympathetic and care about others, yet they try to hide their emotions. Phlegmatic individuals also are good at generalizing ideas or problems to the world and making compromises. . But Globalists keep getting Monkeys; Sanguine; personality type is described primarily as being highly talkative, enthusiastic, active, and social. Sanguine tend to be more extroverted and enjoy being part of a crowd; they find that being social, outgoing, and charismatic is easy to accomplish. Individuals with this personality have a hard time doing nothing and engage in more risk seeking behavior. . Polar Opposites, which equals Insanity ready to snap. one pic related
One problem ive noticed is that people have an obsession with being comfortable. The room temp must be perfect. The outside temp must be perfect for outside activities otherwise just stay indoors. The shower must be just the right temperature. Food must taste good regardless of its nutritional value. "I want that, but not if requires work. Work makes me uncomfortable" "i want to be good at something but not if it requires too much effort" "i want be fit and attractive as long as i can eat whatever i want and sit around all day" "hmm looks like if i want anything i have to actually do something for it. Fuck that ill just be a lazy hedonistic piece of shit"

I'll add in my two cents after telling of an experience I had with this: I was talking with an early 20s female about kids that went something like To me, it all boils down to the fact that having kids isn't something that is celebrated and encouraged in our society anymore. Women crave positive attention and have to be encouraged multiple times at every big juncture in their life before they make a decision; with kids it is no different. For such a big decision there has to be societal encouragement along with familial encouragement because the family's wishes just aren't enough anymore with the propaganda and individualism plaguing our society. It is a tragedy.
Nicholas Foster
you are correct. its worse than not having encouragement, women are deterred from having children because all they see are the downsides. having single mothers everywhere making motherhood seem even more difficult doesnt help either
Nolan Hall
Self defeating requires teamwork to do something which amounts to nothing. Can't rely on one person to do everything themselves. The truth is not self defeating because nihilism defeats everything for nothing.
Samuel Williams
nihilism is still garbage no matter how many flowery words you wrap around it

I never said it was good. I only said it was common and misunderstood.
