    It’s not our fault the masses are generally a disgusting horde of thoughtless, hedonistic nazis that can’t be bothered to read anything that might challenge their base pleasure they find in bullying “weirdos”. Let alone have the intellectual capacity to understand something as basic as “kindness”.

    Do they really think mindless automatons like grillman are in the right about such issues? Let alone ANY issue?

      Actually, hedonism was invented by a Greek philosopher who was rare among his contemporaries for allowing women and slaves to study at his school as equals. He believed a life of simple pleasures in moderation was the key to happiness. He spent all day gardening and discussing philosophy, and then had a glass of wine and (CW: carnism) cheese before bed. He was also an empiricist who believed the world was made of atoms, and he taught that fear of death was the cause of a great deal of human suffering. He believed people should act with kindness in order to ease their own conscience, instead of doing it because they’re scared of divine punishment.

      Hedonism is antifascist.
