When your teacher says that football is a sport about teamwork and friendship and all you think at that moment is egoism and the survival instinct during the match...
Blue Lock has officially brainwashed me! And I love it!
"The active nihilist sees in the unknown future and despair at our current situation, a call to arms. Meaning is found in approaching the void rather than in the false knowledge of what is on the other side of it. —Attentat
We are nihilists regardless of whether we call ourselves by the name, because we have no road out of this. We have only the starlit wilderness... The first act of navigation is to set foot in the wilderness. Only then can we put our hands against the bare earth, feeling for the dim warmth of those fires still smoldering beneath. —“Hic Nihil, Hic Salta! (A Critique of Bartlebyism)”
With every rebellious footstep we take, we are entering an unknowable void. There are no reliable maps of the terrain that our struggles will occupy. No one has a leg up on the question of liberation. So much has been tried and so much has failed, let us finally admit that we don’t know what is “right” or what will “work”. Nobody knows how, why, or if a dominant order will fall. We don’t know if there are enough letterbombs in the world to bring an end to nuclear power, nor do we know if a well-timed mass uprising in Auschwitz would have actually succeeded in shutting down the camp. Despite what anyone tells us, there is no guarantee that the workers of the world are going to rise up, nor any assurances that such a thing would even lead to a desirable situation.
Though we have inherited a great many ideas about how to confront domination, we know that nothing is set in stone. From the shattered tools and bones of our predecessors, we craft our own weapons. Nothing is guaranteed to work, yet we attack regardless. We do so naked, having shed the rags of morality, ideology, and politics that had accumulated over time. We confront this world raw, in all its horrifying glory." - blessed is the flame
I’m obsessed with the idea of Rainbow Dash accidentally discovering and reading The Ego and Its Own and becoming a Stirnerite:
Rainbow Dash: "Everypony always tells me I have a big ego... sweet!"
A week later
Rainbow Dash, now wearing Stirner’s glasses, calmly trots through the park until Scootaloo runs into her.
Scootaloo: "Hey, Rainbow Dash! I haven’t seen you in a while. How’ve you been? :D"
Rainbow Dash: stares intently "Are you still trapped under the dogmatic spell of your cutie mark? Don’t you feel like the social conditioning tied to it forces you to follow its commands, instead of listening to your true self?"
Scootaloo: "I-i… Dash… WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! D:"
Rainbow Dash: "Ah, you react with confusion. You don’t see how your short life has been controlled by spooks! Ghosts of the mind! Forces born from the decayed corpse of the Church, tricking you with promises of fulfilling your deepest desires, when instead you should become an idol unto yourself! Every time Celestia delivers a decree, it’s only clearer that her greatest conviction is not the boundless freedom of ourselves, but the belief that nopony can manage their own affairs! That if we did, it would tear apart the 'foundation of civilized society!' This so-called foundation is nothing more than the self-loathing of the working masses—the true producers and most capable organizers of Equestria—"
Scootaloo starts backing away slowly.
Rainbow Dash: "-but instead we’re taught to idolize her rule! It’s obvious, Scootaloo! Her power is a-"
Scootaloo runs for her life
Rainbow Dash: waves "Goodbye, Scoot! I just love that little crusader :)"
