Since we are in an epoch motivated by signs and memetics ; I think le "may-may" is an efficient medium to bring unto consciousness ideals, the opposite of my "shivpost" is proof.
In an age where indeed the malaise is tentimes fold and the “suffering” is plastered everywhere thanks to our hyperreality, the dominant modus vivendi of passive/active nihilism and a several bunch of factors ; having a positive outlook on life has become the new humeur d’un mégarien, the “cringe”, the looked down upon for being “naïve” and not seeing “reality” for what it is.
Our culture of narcissism puts YOU the "redpilled" sigma wolf absoord deterministic "gnosis-grasper" as an "aware" and a "cogito" amongst the sheeps of the religio and credos, the ignorant jéjune boomers and my optimistic colleagues, the local shawarma vendor alongside the "blue-pilled cringe hylics" ""foids and chads"". Constructing a feeble chimeric exo-skeletic ego and providing an alibi for your raison d'être with mediums and signs such as : le sad neitzschean anime, le sad music, le sad moovie and here's a gore thread on /gif/, oh wait here's a little dark age edit and a plethora of articles, head-displays on top of head dis-place news flash FLASH FLASH brownies are getting gunned down somewhere HOW DARE YOU BE HAPPY ?
How dare you be happy ?, re-territorialize by imposing a “fun morality” upon your subjects and associating their salvator with the reified object of consumption ; de-territorialize by putting passive nihilism on a head-display to show for every homo-consummans to absorb and apprehend as their sole telos, le “capitalist realism”.
Memetics matter, the doomer vs boomer ; mis à part the other -oomers is the schopenhauerian vs the jovial greek ; the doomer sees the boomer as a naive unaware of reality person, as a mere NPC as everyone likes to think but rather not admit, even moreso the doomer blames the boomer for his “suffering”, not necessarily a generational thing thoughbeit that plays an important part, but in that according to the doomer, the way the boomer faces life is a source of his torment.
how dare he be happy ?, oh wait instead of reflecting and individuating, confronting my shadow ? Nah that’s cringe and cliché because yet again my favorite anime says otherwise ; I’ll actually release my self-contempt upon others, for how can they be happy when I the “tormented” don’t get to enjoy life the way my neighbors do. Is a monologue the “doomer” puts on repeat like the VCR tape and the gif loop of his favorite “sign”
Reality is, the boomer’s joviality comes also from an empirical taste of “la vie morbide”, he aswell went through econoomic collapses, oedpial breakdowns, de-constrooctions upon deconstructions being poured unto his cerveau as a litany of le 21ème siècle. Yet, unironically ; he chose to face his problems and to not get stuck in the autodeterritorialization loop many of our fellow gen Z’ers are stuck at.
The boomer/optimist chose to lift his skinny fists like antennas to heaven, whilst the doomer fatalist chose the ouroboros of deathconsciousness ; In a way, we are rewritting our own mythos the industrial has deprived us from ; memetics are the modern-day mythos.
It is a matter of YOU, to choose which path to take ; to keep yourself in the shackles of the imaginary[1] imposed upon you by your federale-backed up psyop, harbinger of doomscrolls department ; la division 19ème de la lutte mémétique. Or to revolt and affirm life as a rubix cube, a beautiful mess.
The very act of waking up to sunlight, drinking your favorite drink, petting your pets, having a fruitful conversation with a close person ; heck fucking gooning if that’s what brings you eudaimonia (doubtful). Life is still worth living, unleash your machinic producing desire lest you end up like the catatonic clinical schizo engulfed in his own mind, his paranoia
[1] :Thoughbeit the imaginary, at least according to the Lacanians is unescapable ; one can reduce its impact on his Weltanschauung, perhaps the Situationnists can be of an inspiration.
