Self-destructionism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Self-destructionism is a firm belief that the true path to purity of the soul is by following a path that is opposite to that which society promotes. The main ideas behind self-destructionism are as follows:
- No one is unique. All that human beings are, when it comes down to it, is worm food. We are all dying, every moment of the day. - Until you accept the fact that someday you will die, you are useless. - The truth path to salvation is through chaos. - The world belongs to those who live in it now. - You must accept the fact that you are the summation of your accomplishments(or lack thereof) and not the summation of your amassed personal wealth or affects. - You must accept the fact that all of your loved ones will someday die. - Live to be self reliant and depend upon yourself. - You have to let go, and give up in order to start a truely new and progressive path.
"Maybe self-improvement isn't the answer. Maybe self-destruction is the answer." This statement was made by Chuck Pahlaniuck in his novel Fight Club, as well in the movie adaption of the book. The characters in this novel all share the beliefs inherent in self-destructionism, and many quotes from the novel have been adopted by self-destructionists.
For example, "You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake." "You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else." "We are all part of the same compost heap." "We are the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world." "This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time." "It's only once you've lost everything that you're free to do anything." "This is my world, now. This is my world, my world, and those ancient people are dead."
Self-destructionists often support anarchy, seeing anarchy as a self-destruction of culture and society.
