Matt’s grillpillism is kinda like Camus’ absurdism, ya? Like I don’t wanna do a suicide of the body, or a suicide of the soul, so ima accept this clusterfuck as it is, determine what I find meaningful and worth struggling for, and get out i the world and do it.
Camus, Sartre, and Beauvoir were all socialists for a reason. The Myth of Sisyphus essay is probably the philosophical text that's resonated with me most. It's what you're left with when you become consciously materialistic and reject mystification/idealism. Grill pilling growing out of Jokerfication absolutely makes it an absurdist project.
If there is any theory relevant to this era, it's formalising Jokerfication as an absurdist response to pre-revolutionary imperial decay. The Murray scene understood the moral logic you have to apply to things like democrats and antimaskers to stay sane when the moral conditions you live under are insane and you can't act on them. That post-2016 psychic shift toward chaotic good morality hasn't yet resulted in bolshevism, but it's putting us in similar preconditions for bolshevism and it's important to seize on that energy so it isn't misdirected. Boogaloo boys, representative of Heath Ledger Jokerfication, show the kind of moral pitfalls you'd otherwise fall into without an absurdist framework to understand the chaos through.
Hippies only had shitty 1960s Joker so they tuned out and let the world die. 2019 Joker, that's a good one to fuse a Marxist understanding of Spectacle and an absurdist understanding of morality.
I hadn't considered that parallel, but it makes a lot of sense. Also makes sense that I latched onto the ramblings of a man telling me what I already believed.

I agree, but isn't that closer to Existentialism than Absurdism? Maybe I don't remember my philo courses.
It probably is, I don’t remember them either lol, too much acid and adderall
