Life sucks and your opinions, often enough, are much worse.
Written: 2021-10-03
Only because I am against cultural degeneration and our sick and gross
culture which has reached such heights in terms of vulgarity that men
of taste would rather … shut the book and die; only
because I’m disgusted with the modern world does not mean I have to
accept all kinds of opinions of people who are, at least in some part,
against it as well.
Being opposed to sexual decadence and immigration, for example, does
not at all require that I have to accept the shoddy, trite, tacky
“philosophy” some, or even many, of those opposed to cultural decay
adhere to. Even Andy Nowicki once said that, despite having two
children, the “breeder rhetoric” on the Alt-Right he finds distasteful.
This is even worse for Christians, here we are somehow expected to
accept that only a handful of people are allowed and capable of thinking
about theological matters. One example would be the Catechism of the
Catholic Church. Or the opinions of traditional Catholics or Eastern
Orthodox Christians, who almost force you to accept that life is
great and sex even greater.
For example, a Catholic YouTuber, in a video explaining why the Catholic
Church rejects same-sex marriage, remarked that, after some rant about
today’s sexual decadence, that in a Christian marriage, this,
i.e. copulation and birth of a child, can even be seen as beautiful.
To which I reply that I do not have and will never view sexuality as
anything more than a curse.
I find it disgusting and repulsive, our lowly origins are nothing more
than a slap in the face that should at least give us pause,
as Andy Nowicki wrote in
Considering Suicide.
I conclude, therefore, that the net has mostly been exhausted as far
as I am concerned. I do not even follow any news. And I do not need to
read or hear for the umpteenth time some unphilosophical minded
imbeciles’s philosophical musings. Which usually turn out to be vulgar
mush.
Even Andy Nowicki noted, in one of his videos, that he has mostly given
up on communicating with people — via YouTube comments in this case. He
even disabled comments on some of his videos because he got tired and
fed up with all the condescending, trashy comments people all too often
leave.
I would off myself in a heartbeat if I knew that nothing but nothingness
awaited me. But now, I have to drag along, most likely several decades
of mental torture ahead still.
Being mentally ill and a loser is harsh enough; but having to endure
it in this cultural climate, this hellhole …?
If only I had a friend like Nicolás Gómez Dávila! Oh! At least he
left us with his immortal escolios:
It is fine to demand that the imbecile respect arts, letters,
philosophy, the sciences, but let him respect them in silence.
So that one does not live depressed among so many foolish opinions,
it behooves one to remember at every moment that things obviously are
what they are, no matter what the world’s opinion is.
The majority of men have no right to give their opinion, but only
to listen.
Modern man believes he lives amidst a pluralism of opinions,
when what prevails today is a stifling unanimity.
Modern individualism is nothing but claiming as one’s own the opinions
everyone shares.
Opinions, customs, institutions, cities—everything has become vulgar,
since we gave up repairing the old in order to buy every day some gaudy
novelty.
