Born Too Late

Anybody else feel like they were "born too late", AKA alienated by modernity?

On the surface, living in the current year can be seen as a positive, due to all the modern appliances and abundance of resources; but it's just that - surface level contentment. Modern Western society only exists to facilitate fleeting hedonism and commodity fetishism; and beyond that there is no common spirituality, or even a real unifying force. Every man is an island, and you only exist to consoom and maybe post your opinions on your recent consumption.

I yearn for the days before Post-Modernism and "Enlightenment" thinking grabbed hold of history. I would rather be a 1700s or earlier peasant, having a sense of community; absent of the "death of God" or any sort of existential crises.

    What a cliqued bigger homosexual post. Yes the world at large is globohomosexual and such and such but it’s no excuse to be a fricking loser with no internal true LAW(be it religious or otherwise) with also no will and power.
    You can still attain these things yourself. You can still find New places (not touched by globohomo) and interesting things in this life if you try hard enough. Stop being a loser and blaming everyone else and society! You have the freedom and power! If your excuse is money you can do a lot with just 40-50k a year and living in a non shithole expensive area. Go to community college or tech school

    You don’t have to partake in society and you don’t need society to encourage you/make you religious. You can be religious yourself. I HATE people like you. Have some self respect and WILL. Disgusting disgusting disgusting disgusting

      But I can’t be religious naturally in the modern day. I simply can’t believe in superstitious stuff because the world is just too scientific and not magical enough like in the past.

      One has to forcefully delude themselves to be religious in the modern day. It doesn’t come naturally anymore.

        HAHHAHA so your just a fake homosexual that just wants to be a slave? Your a fricking pussy, worse then the society you criticize. At least the NPCs in this world are willing to live in it without wanting delusion (your not looking for honest truth you are hmm le dishonest!)
        stop blaming the world around you for your mistakes you just want an easy way to get molded into a “true” man without working for it. It’s depressing. You want your hand held and your life to be simple

        JUST JOIN THE MILITARY IF YOU WANT THAT. You don’t got to think and you get money and you get pretend to be le traditional conservative “real man” because your not fat no more (even though it took no will or self respect, only willing whipping)

        Because there are a lot of people who wouldn't be losers if they were forced to fit into the mold that society used to have

        Think there's a lot more who wouldn't even survive in past societies, but think they would thrive. Grass is always greener on the other side.

          Medieval farmers weren't alienated, they had a sense of family/community and didn't have existential crises. Also they only had to work like 4 hours per day most of the time, and were forced to not work on the Sabbath.

            Being left alone is better than being abused idiot. The kinds of people who are "alienated" now would have been alienated in the past too. If people bully you at school or if you're abused by your family in modern times they would have bullied and abused you in a medieval village too. Would you rather have 2 sadistic cousins or 20 sadistic cousins?

        That's cope. Losers and Winners are born, not made. You're inability to adapt to the current environment is the trait of a loser, and you'd have been a loser homosexual anytime in history because of it. Winners always overcome the circumstances and mold themselves into something successful and admirable, be it a tribal chieftain or warrior or a tech millionaire or sports star

    There are still people out there, in the world, living with not a whole lot of modern technology, no electricity, nothing. And they are still degenerate and as hedonistic as people living in normal countries.
    Anyway, nothing stops you from buying a piece of land and living the life you want. Hell, you can even make a request to be granted some land in Siberia. You will get it for free, and if you do some agrarian shit you will be granted citizenship and you can live a comfy live you wanted. What are you waiting for, anon?

    Imagine wanting to be around other people. Imagine wanting to be abused and dominated by other people and told what to think and what to do. Imagine wanting to live a shittier life just so you can be in the presence of moronic sadists who will abuse and dominate you.

    I don't understand how someone can be simultaneously "disillusioned" with this society yet not be "disillusioned" with humans as a whole. Being around other people was never a good thing. Being abused and dominated by other people was never a pleasant experience. If you're not a member of a societal in-group right now you probably wouldn't have been in the past either. Living in a time where people were more persistent/aggressive about pushing their beliefs on you and forcing you into social interactions where you are submissive and they are dominant, being pushed around by others etc would have been worse than living in a time where you have a greater ability to isolate yourself.

    Material poverty doesn't make life better. Being bossed around and forced to interact with other people doesn't make life better. There's nothing about the past that was better than life now. Having sex with a woman you're not attracted to or romantically passionate about would be worse than jerking off to porn.

    The idea of eternal damnation and predestination is way, way more existential-crisis inducing than even the most pessimistic versions of nihilism. Just look at how anxious and scrupulous Luther was during his formative years as a monk, or read sermons like Jonathan Edwards' "Sinners at the hands of an angry God" or St. Alphonsus of Liguori's "On the number of sins beyond which God pardons no more". Truly horrifying stuff.

      Frederick shilled Enlightenment, but the majority of proles didn't really give a shit about it really in the 1740s. I picked that period because it has the right balance of technology without being too gay.

    As an NPC all but fully approving globalhomo, I feel I was born too soon. Too soon to see a global culture homogenized enough to share universal values beyond, "steeling and murder is bad" nor a peaceful world where the mere thought of annexing another nation's territory would bring the whole of the world down on you. Too soon to see the genetic engineering that'll make all this racism stuff irrelevant. Even too soon to be able to work comfortably at home in my field, at least when I was young. (Life would have been much smoother if they had this degree of internet when I was young.)

    I look back in history and it all looks horrific. Even if you were a king, anytime before the 18th or 19th century, you wouldn't live in nearly the comfort your average peasant does today. At best, you'd just have more land to work with, and only if you discount public land. And if you, like the majority, were a peasant or a slave, may the gods help you. You'll be lucky not to half starve to death. I seriously don't understand this yearning for a "simpler time" - it was anything but, so much of your time was taken up by simply surviving. No time to learn or write, save among the nobles, who still had a huge amount of their time eaten up just managing their estates and politics.

    I suppose the Athenians of antiquity had it pretty good. Enough excess of food and time to give birth to all those philosophers, and allow so many to make a living on simple oratory. But today, with a Youtube or Nebula channel plus some well chosen forums, you can do all that with anyone anywhere in the world, and never have to leave the comfort of your home.

    So frick the past. We never had it so good.

      That just shows a weakness of spirit you need to fight.

      Being unable to have your own world view and principles - with the certitude they provide - as well as lacking the ability to empathize with your fellow man is a sign of weak and selfish mind.

      In pre-enlightenment times you'd be just as weak willed, though unaware of it.

      You're right to say that modern capitalist / consumerist society plays a part - it's meant to do that. The point is to makes us stay apathetic and divided so as to preserve the power of the upper classes ruling over us.

      However, the solution isn't to go back into a state of servitude, it's to recognize your enemy and understand you need to unite with your fellow men in order to destroy the ones exploiting our peoples.

      Marxism doesn't do anything to alleviate existential crises; in fact it's one of the main causes of it in the world due to Orthodox Marxism being anti-religion. What difference does it make if you're just a hedonistic consoomer, but with red & yellow flags?

            Well there's no arguing that housing prices aren't out of control. I didn't say it was a utopia. But I'd have to go back to the 50's or 60's to the last time they were reasonable, and then I'd have no internet and might have to go outside. Frick that.

    Shit was cool back then. People didn't particularly care to suck off other cultures and there was great moral superiority. You could join the crusade or the reconquista which were some of the coolest things ever. You were fighting something who was objectively evil, you went to heaven if you died and you got some estates if you survived. Nowadays the military just bombs terrorists and waits till the psyop makes the enemy capital instable enough to force the enemy to negotiate
