How do you figure? 🤔 (🤡) I mean, I _do_ very often curse, in English, with ‘Fuck Jesus!’, ‘Fuck the fuck Jesus’, etc.; but also with ‘Fuckmothers’, 'Fuck _mothers’_, etc.

You’re a, watchamacallit, a modern socialist atheist. That’s a particularly rigid branch of Protestantism.

A modern _national_ socialist atheist, right? And an _inter_national communist (and thereby a fascist), of course. As diametrically opposed to Putin-lover Jakob’s _national_ communism, with Trump, and the AfD, and all that totally non-fascist stuff..

Nah, I’m a liberal of the most centrist kind… although I _do_ favour the left over the right, but also the near left over the far left. Not long ago, to be sure, I was far, far left in a _way_ (here’s from a private email from late November 2024, for example):

‘[I]n my _political_ philosophy, I play at seriousness. My unofficial girlfriend has repeatedly said she’d have thought I were rightwing, not leftwing; and on one occasion I told her I’d said half-jokingly before, to others, that I’m _so_ far to the right that I’m on the left again. Well, my hostility is far, far right, but although the left is really the side of the herd, I simply _loathe_ Trump and everything like him; besides, it’s all relatively leftwing to me, anyway… For humanity to be saved from itself, I think it should become all herd again, so that in the distant future, another human history might emerge from that new prehistory… This and this alone is the reason I’m now far, far left. But she cannot know that.’

My liberalism, however, is the most centrist and _thereby_ the most extreme:

Sure, everything you don’t like is Protestant, far left, national-socialist fascist, etc…

Nah, the alt-right movement is the new Fascism; all these disgusting, frustrated little trolls, these petty-bourgeois domestic tyrant wannabes, offended and at the same time “ironic”, are simply the new brownshirts. Yes, Jakob is a Nazi and his ancestors would be spinning in their graves. But hey, it’s okay! I’m only a left-leaning centrist because I think liberal democracy is the best (the least bad) for philosophy, and because I like to counteract the far right, and also the far left, in a non-escalating way.

If Zizek is right, and God being dead means nothing is permitted, then what do we make of the modern socialist atheist’s extremely narrow path of permission?

Those aren’t really atheists, you dufus… They’re “spiritual”, you know! 😀

“The death of god means the destruction of mankind, of any community, whether within one’s own self or country or mankind or the universe. It isolates the nihilist in the nothingness revealed by radical atheism. Horror of this isolation usually prevents more than half-hearted atheism, driving men to revere mere jackasses, shadows of the now dead god. The politically loudest form of contemporary jackass worship is the democratic-socialistic effort to embrace the christian morality while destroying the last vestiges of the traditional Christian faith responsible for that morality.  
Contemporary democratic “liberation” movements generally despise traditional Christian orthodoxy while asserting the supreme goodness of its compassion for suffering, impoverished humanity. They insist that men have a right to life, freedom and equality. Had they been tough enough to experience uncompromising atheism, they would see no compelling reason for these rights or for any morality. Like the Pale Criminal, they need their morality in order not to appear insane to a reason informed by common sense. Morality in all its forms springs from dread of radical, incommunicable nihilism.” (Harry Morris Neumann, _Liberalism_, “Nietzsche”.)

Mere moral man Jakob pretends my Holochrist is _moralistic_, just as he pretends everything besides him and his fellow fascists are fascistic (and that his own misery is everyone else’s fault rather than his own; his only fault is that he’s been too mild and too kind… Recently, he blamed _you_ for everything, didn’t he, Van Man! Don’t worry, not long before that it was all _my_ fault, and not long before _that_, Vincent’s)…

To be sure, though, back then I still thought the Pleistocene was worth something, meant something… How moralistic and haughty! I know.

“Mankind’s destruction or the destruction of all life would change nothing in a nihilist reality.” (op.cit., previous chapter.)

So is this _self_-actualization or _group_ actualization?

You seem to trigger easily. Much like Nietzsche, who raged about the revenge of forgiveness being cruel, but was totally fine with sacrificing people he didn’t like “in the mass to the prosperity of a single stronger species of man”.

True strength right there. Full contact with reality.
