Well that was extremely interesting. Curious to hear what @ctbeiser and/or @sonyasupposedly think about it. They seem like the people I know who’d have the best triangulation on those subcultures.

BTW please ignore if you don’t have the time or interest to look over the doc!

Also kinda curious if @St_Rev has a reaction to all those GenZers memeing about Stirner.... (same caveat as above)

Lots of interesting content there but the author isn't much of a value add, I think. One site I visit pretty often is leftybooru, an image site for leftypol memes, eg if you want an un-mediated firehose of similar material: https://lefty.booru.org/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=stirner …

The post-leftism I'm familiar with isn't an extension of anprim (it's a critique of both anprim and transhumanism, ancom and ancap), but it doesn't surprise me that 17 year olds don't get that. Likewise, Stirner is really easy to misunderstand (he's an epistemologist first).

"nor can I find an example of this philosophy manifesting as a real political project" lol, that's the point -- it's everything people do of their own volition that *isn't* a political project, ie everything useful.

Thanks Rev. Anything you’d recommend as an overview/summary/teaser of Stirner’s views? Preferably something short-ish?

Ugh, Stirner's notoriously difficult, and most of his interlocutors (going back to Marx) are obtusely leftist. One tip I can offer is that when he talks about (what is translated as) his 'own' or 'property' he means his relationships to and knowledge of the world.
