It's redditors thinking that le superman movie will save the world from the declining middle class, declining standards of living, democratic backsliding, the collapse of narrative control over the popular mind, etc.
It's a performative exercise where they're basically saying
>we would have no problems if you would be NICE like SUPERMAN
>and we all agree that SUPERMAN is GREAT! Right?!
which is their solution because they refuse to address any of these issues at a structural level, and because they want to dehumanize the malcontents created by modern life preferring to believe that their issues with society are due to them being villains as individuals

Being broody and edgy in times where things are mostly good is rebellious, it encourages the complacent to still focus on the future and the flaws of the present.

Being an edgelord in times where things are depressing and hopeless is just ecasterbating the problem, bitching and moping without providing a real solution.

People talking a bit gayly about hope and the starman memes may be cringe-worthy, but they are actually offering an answer to the question people have about the world today, the one best summarized with a Boondocks quote:
>What do you do when you can't do nothing, but there's nothing you can do? / You do what you can.

Hell, you can argue that a shift in attitude towards the kinder *could* help the societal issues you mentioned/
Because the only people who may reverse the declining standards of living or democratic backsliding are probably leftists.

And the left has lost so much in no small part because they became pushy, preachy assholes that no one wanted to hear from.

I think it was pretty clear a lot of us didn't actually believe it back then. It was just a way to lash out and stand out, like Johnny the Homicidal maniac. Gilbert Gottfried wasn't trying to dogwhistle neo Nazis when he told the aristocrats joke, he was just trying to shock people.

>>149425338
shouting "wake up sheeple" on 4chan is not "doing good." You take no action, risk nothing, knowingly accomplish nothing, and only do it to feel smug.

Anon helping an old woman across the street does more to improve society than your 4chan posts ever well.

>>149423866
Fascinating viewpoint, cute that you had someone make you believe it was truly yours.

What is your real viewpoint and desire Anon, beneath the rhetoric that was handed told you and you believed was Enlightenment?

I will tell you what it is
"I want love, I want fulfillment, I want security, I want comfort." And in that? You are valid, but that's something you need to seek and make for yourself, not through society or community of like minded individuals; but strictly by your own works and effort.

Silly boy.

Thanks for posting this with an image of Ricky boy, really drives it home.

and how do your posts accomplish that? You are just as much of a keyboard warrior as those you denigrate for wanting to be kind and do good deeds. What do you DO to improve society? What actions do you take? What measurable accomplishments towards doing good can you claim?

>>149423729 (OP)
I hate amerisharts

This is a little shout out to the not so subtle "I'm le alt right, I have the secret knowledge, le 1488 kool kids krew" posters here.

Why do you base your lives, and your actions based on the opinions and merits of others? Why don't you actually just live for yourselves, and seek your own happiness? Why don't you make a present and future for yourself.

Stop being a dog for others, and stop being a dog to others; be your own master, and choose your own path. If in that choice you choose to remain a dog, then so be it. You chose to be one.

Look at yourself and truly ask "What do I want? What do I choose? What do I believe in? Am I happy? Is what I believe what I truly believe, or am I just believing something because someone else told me?"

>>149423784

Simply a little nudge for you to actually make decisions for yourself. Nothing more nothing less.

>>149425571
>Simply a little nudge for you to actually make decisions for yourself. Nothing more nothing less
Doubtful given that your take is utterly shallow and has no real weight to it. You seem to assert that everyone else has the problem and that you’re free of this yet you’re giving the same generic “think freely” speech that has been regurgitated over and over. Do you think of yourself as some intellectual rebel? Someone that stands above everyone else?
>How much of You is actually You, and how much of it is what others demand/tell you to be
How much of what you know was an original thought and not just told to you by someone else? Everything you’ve heard, read, and watched is information which you did not think of on your own. Math? History? Physics? Someone else told you about all of it. Who is the person that fed you this line of logic and told you to “think for yourself”?

>>149425658
Oh, I never said it was freedom or thinking freely, it was about Informed Choice and what you Choose to actually believe in.

I believe in what I choose to believe in, because I choose to believe in it; likewise I choose to write this response, likewise I choose this outcome.

The origins of these choices, may not be truly self originated, like your second point; however, ultimately, I willingly and knowingly accept those choices as Mine, because at the end of the day, I am my own Master.

And that is quite true of literally everyone else as well, "The Ultimate Arbiter of your own life is You" so again, we have to ask
"How much of your You is actually you making informed and self owning Choice; and how much of it is actually just catering to the words/beliefs/wants/expectations of others?"

This has nothing to do with Freedom, because the only Freedom that exists is Death. This has everything to do with Choice, of which, the entirety of your existence is a series of multiple ones.

>>149425392
Worshipping god doesn't make you an inherent good person. Saying you're good because you worship god, is moronic in the same vein of people needing Superman to tell them to be good, rather than try to be decent people.
You're just trading a 1930s cartoon in pants with ideas written two millennia ago, and taking it to extremes not even Jesus would approve.

>>149425744
>Worshipping god doesn't make you an inherent good person.

Most people who worship gods are pretty bad people, actually.

>>149425725
So who are you to say that people are wrong for believing in something? Part of your point was that they were not choosing to believe in things that are worth while, yet you can’t actually say how they’re not.
>This has nothing to do with Freedom, because the only Freedom that exists is Death
Choice has nothing to do with freedom? You’re telling me that you believe that someone having the ability to choose and not just be told what to believe are the same in terms of what is and is not free? Also if you believe freedom lies in death then why are you still alive? You are living as a dog as we speak, and by your own logic you are bound.

>>149425824
Oh, I've never said people are wrong for their beliefs, just saying "Do you actually believe that, is it a choice you willingly make, or you just feel obligated to believe in?"

>Choice has nothing to do with Freedom.
Yes, because you if you believe you are free, but still find yourself having to make choices, then you are not truly free. When you choose to be your own Master, and live accordingly to your own Choices, you aren't free, you are a Dog to your own Choices and beliefs; thus you are not truly free.
>You are living as a dog as you speak.
Yes, but I choose to be, bound to myself; for I am Alive. I am my own Master, and likewise am bound to that, and I willingly choose that, fully and accepting.

Can you say likewise of yourself?
