“It is what it is” … said the imbecile.

An imbecilic viewpoint I heard on YouTube — where else … —, by some idiot with “ape” as part of his name. Kind of fitting, given how useless and stupid this viewpoint is.

And he even used it to defend today’s sexual decadence. This is akin to saying that Gulags exist, it is what it is. Just accept your lot.

It also shows that even those who do criticize today’s degeneracy are too much of a sissy to speak out against our filthy culture, especially when it comes to being against pre-marital sex. Apparently, that is just fine ’cause my genitalia is God. Or whatever.

What else is there to say? This world is getting stupider and more vulgar by the minute, what point does existence in it have …?

At least we know that great men were just as disgusted by those unthinking automatons who even seem to make a living or at least earn money with their trite and tacky views.

One man disgusted by the modern world was Colombian Catholic and reactionary Nicolás Gómez Dávila:

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.

Opinions, customs, institutions, cities—everything has become vulgar, since we gave up repairing the old in order to buy every day some gaudy novelty.

Modern individualism is nothing but claiming as one’s own the opinions everyone shares.

Let us respect the two poles of man: concrete individual, human spirit.
But not the middle zone of an animal with opinions.

To maintain that “all ideas are respectable” is nothing but pompous nonsense.
Nevertheless, there is no opinion that the support of a sufficient number of imbeciles does not oblige one to put up with.
Let us not disguise our impotence as tolerance.

We should ask the majority of people not to be sincere, but mute.

It is fine to demand that the imbecile respect arts, letters, philosophy, the sciences, but let him respect them in silence.

When nothing in society deserves respect, we should fashion for ourselves in solitude new silent loyalties.

Every society is born with enemies who accompany it in silence until they ambush it at night and slit its throat.

The modern world obliges us to refute foolish ideas, instead of silencing the fools.

A constant flow of news invades existence today, destroying the silence and peace of humble lives, without abolishing their tedium.
