Y'all need some Stirner

...

I agree

Fuck off /his/.
Fucking colonial leaf.

>colonial

>nation with a
>state

If he could write well. Babbling bullshit

The ego is a spook

Life is a spook your should remove from yourself my property

Well spooked, m'property!

No seriously. Its a rather big problem with his philosophy. The Ego is a spook. How the hell do you go anywhere from there?

Stirner is spook.

You can't be rid of all spooks, and The Ego seems to be the least spooky spook

That is simply retarded. How can the subject be a spook for the subject?

That's the point

We are all inherently spooked, that will never go away

I have read Stirner, and am a nationalist out of concern for my own self interest.In egoism, you can value things like the nation provided you don't make them sacred or place them above your real interests.

His prose gets a lot more readable in the second half of the book.

No, thinking you have to be a nihilist and care about nothing is a spook. Stirner's egoism is concerned only with following your self interest and not turning any object or ideology into a religion.

"We"? There must be a subject to recognize objects, but how does the subject recognize itself? The Ego is a spook and all else falls with that.

Yes, but how do you get to the existence of an ego?

What are you talking about? The ego is just the individual, you get to it when you (the individual) stop following dogmas and look out for yourself and your self interest (whatever that may be)

>Stirner's egoism
>not turning any object or ideology into a religion

I'm confused by this since it seems that if you are a true proponent of Stirner's ideals then you can't actually follow Stirner. Since by doing so, he just becomes your new spook.

Seems like if you want to be a true egoist by Stirner's standards, you have to throw Stirner in the trash.

Yes but how do you know that there is such a thing as the Ego? How do you know whether or not there is such a thing as a individual?

>You should do your best interest
>except if your best interest is killing stirnerettes, drug addicts, and socialists, and establishing a society of mutual individual respect
Can any one of you 20yo socialist geniuses explain to me why robbing the investments of other people and destroying the local economy would be my best interest? Can anyone explain to me how come people like Duerte who wants to exterminate the drug addict demographic is not following the people's best interest with far greater focus than any autistic anarchist ever has?

Checked
You're right that an egoist couldn't treat Stirner like some religious prophet and strive to reach sme ideal set by him, but all he's really saying is to free yourself from any constricting moral code and to do what you see fit. For the record, I'm neither a Stirnerite nor an egoist, I just enjoy his philosophy

Friendly reminder

Stirner's ego is different from Freud's. It often translates in the book as "the unnamable one" as the "self" is the end point of language. An ego, or a set of rules on how your supposed to behave or be treated based on who YOU are, is simply another spook
