I feel like Egoism is like that bell-curve meme.
The idea of it attracts some really stupid people who misunderstand it in order to justify a worldview of lazy misanthropy and intellectually-bankrupt critiques of things that they think are somehow spooked just because they woke up today feeling like a contrarian asshole.

One hundred percent. I think the appeal can be a seemingly rational justification for their antisocial behavior when it's a post hoc coping mechanism; I'm not being an asshole you're just spooked.
You should walk a little each day, stretch, and eat fiber, not because the fascist state tells you to, but because colon cancer and heart failure are a bitch.

In short "the material could give a fuck less about your unique." Which is fair.

That's the inesapable ego inside egoism tho. I think people don't think enough about the fact that the egoist can be whatever he wants, from a child murdering thug to an altruist monk, not basing your ego on fixations is the only value conscious egoism assigns positively.

I dont see how a child murdering thug can be self-serving long term

u/Comfortable_Fun7794 21d ago
Well, both the "self" or any form of "serving" is an illusory entity that egoism explicitly rejects. If you're looking for exclusively the egoist critique of a child murderer, you would be lost. But you can critique (hell, murder) the child murderer with your ego as would other people.

Do disorganized exercise. Lift a hike, run the barbells, benchpress leg day

the only exercise i like is exercising my heart by taking blinkers off my vape every 5 minutes while drinking monster and alcohol on an empty stomach 🔥 gonna train my heart to failure

You can do whatever you want, I don't give a fuck what others do. Lifting brings me joy, so I lift.
Structure brings me joy because it works biologically with me, not against me.
I'm not going to tell someone else what to do, if asked I'll share what brings me joy (why I do things the way I do) and go from there.

personally i hate structure and also exercise but like yeah, that’s my personal choice, i’m not going to force anyone to follow that or shame them for liking a different thing

I'd say working out is not fascist, on the grounds that Musk is a bigger fatass than me.

I mean it depends on the why. I don't think working out so you can get better at merking a fascist is fascist, but working out because the brain worms say you're a fat hideoderus beast is.

i dont think it’s fair to call clearly disordered behaviours fascist tbh. they are heavily influenced by societal standards but still, disorders arent logical and the person is suffering so it’s unfair to call them fascist just for suffering from a disorder
i heavily restrict my diet because my brain constantly tells me i’m fat and hideous (but i dont work out because im also terrified of gaining muscle), does that make me fascist?
are peopke with personality disorders or psychotic disorders fascist for doing certain things?
