“The cheapest sort of pride is national pride; for if a man is proud of his own nation, it argues that he has no qualities of his own of which he can be proud; otherwise he would not have recourse to those which he shares with so many millions of his fellowmen. The man who is endowed with important personal qualities will be only too ready to see clearly in what respects his own nation falls short, since their failings will be constantly before his eyes. But every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and glad to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.”
Arthur Schopenhauer

I'd love to drop him into any modern Western city filled with vibrant yoofs and see if he still has this sneering attitude. Very easy to say this when you live in a homogenous high-trust, low crime society.

jews btfo
israel and jewish identity is just compensation for their lack of individual qualities
smart quote man said so

>>508989270 (OP)
Whatever. Still hate Jews. Jews still suck. So angry about photos of starving Gaza children, I'm going to find a jew and beat them like a red headed jew, then plead racial self defense.

What if someone nailed a jew to a tree with a concrete nail driver and skin their front half from the face to the knees for a lampshade using surgical tools?

The line between jewishness (he was not) and elitism (he was elitist) is a fine one.

Not a lot of freedom prior to that. If you're a pissant, why care where?

many men fail to accept their mediocrity, for better or for worse.

He's not wrong.

schizo nonsense
tab closed

I bet he'd feel different if he was constantly surrounded by niggers.

>>508989270 (OP)
He is more talking about chauvinism
every country has national pride

This. He didn't realize how good he had it because he never could have foreseen the ethnic hell we live in 200 years later.

>ooohh look at me and my crazy hair
>my head is FULL of ideas
fucking kantian hack

>>508992717
Yes I do, the message is that if you haven't personally achieved anything in life you end up being a xenophobe nationalist. You blame your misery on others via nationalism. That's your message right? So explain to me why all loser bums I see around my city, who have achieved nothing in life but a sleepingbag and a couple half liters for the day, is some communist hippy? Look at Berlin, it's not neo nazis bumming out on those streets.

>>508992717
The message is this godless hack was very proud of himself, not a humble man I'd say. But for his basic ideas (stole kants ideas and changed one word) I would argue his pride is misplaced, but also explains his ridiculous haircut.
