God's Not Dead would be 100% improved if the sequels followed the Fast and the Furious naming scheme.

I await Dead 7.

I'd not sign that just out of spite. Plus, I'm pretty sure I don't agree with what Nietzsche meant by "God is dead", so I'd argue with him about that.

Hey, now, let's not be too harsh. The film is an absolutely brilliant comedy, regardless of the intention of the writers, so it's not total garbage.

Central to Fomenko's New Chronology is his claim of the existence of a vast Slav-Turk empire, which he called the "Russian Horde", which he says played the dominant role in Eurasian history before the 17th century. The various peoples identified in ancient and medieval history, from the Scythians, Huns, Goths and Bulgars, through the Polyane, Duleby, Drevliane, Pechenegs, to in more recent times, the Cossacks, Ukrainians, and Belarusians, are nothing but elements of the single Russian Horde. For the New Chronologists, peoples such as the Ukrainians, Belarusians, Mongols, and others who assert their national independence from Russia, are suffering from a historical delusion.

No bias, there, at all.

Surely banker action isn't purposeful because they're fish, not humans?

No, you see, bankers are like octopuses, investment bankers are like giant squid, and the central bank is like Cthulu. I don't know where I'm going with this analogy. But the central bank is Cthulu.

If someone desires that you don't, as I would, it would be a matter of who has greater power to make their desires a reality.

In such a situation, I have claimed my life as my own and I am free of any fetters that may stop me from taking everything I desire. All that remains is my power and my desires. Everything else is a hindrance, a fetter that binds me, and I destroy that which binds me and that which gets in my way.

What's so wrong with parasites? I mean, with all your talk of self-interest, is not the parasite just acting upon their self-interest? Am I not doing what I desire when I take from those who have earned? Am I not taking what I want if I take things, despite being an all around failure? Am I not fulfilling my wants by being lazy as fuck?

Egoism is not predicated on isolation or hermeticism. That's more Schopenhauer than anything. Egoism is the rejection of any sort of higher essence, fixed idea, alien ideas or higher cause. Rather than isolating the self, the egoist brings things down to their brutal, feral, and immanent thoughts, desires, and power. The egoist, as such, rejects all sorts of morality as well as God, Man, the State, Society, and other such things. You see, each of those exist separate from the self and only operate through fixed patterns. There are only some things which are acceptable under those, and, as such, the egoist must sacrifice their own interest in order to accept that in favor of the interests of those ideas.

But, again, this isn't the rejection of all relating with others. Rather, this is the rejection of all sorts of mediated and fixed relations with others. In the place of this relations are laid bare as unions of egoists. A union of egoists is a truce between egoists so that they can work together for mutual benefit. It lasts as long as it is beneficial to all involved and operates fluidly. Indeed, while we exist within a society, they do exist here and now. You can find them in children at play, in friends going to a bar, and in lovers together. Children who aren't having fun will stop having fun, friends won't go to the bar with their friends if it's not something they desire, lovers stay together as long as they feel love for each other, and, with each of those, they change and decide on things fluidly through discourse with each other. This is what's referred to as intercourse, that is the brute, immanent relations between people operating on the basis of who the other is rather than on the basis of mediations of relations.

While this doesn't entail hermeticism, this does entail the rejection of the state, of sacred property (aka property built upon respect and morality rather than the brute facts of power), of Man, of mass organizations, and many other forms of relating to each other. All of those things are based upon sacred things, which are necessarily alien to the self.

You haven't been? I mean, egoist anarchists have very consistently been anti-society as much as we are anti-state and anti-capitalism for as long as we have been a thing. It can be found in Stirner, in the illegalists, in insurrectionism, in post-leftism, and so on. It's simply the most consistent position for an egoist to take.

It's certainly communism as there's the negation of capitalism, the state, and markets, but you're right that it isn't a society. Society is the enemy of the individual, and the self-interested individual is in perpetual conflict with society, a conflict that can only possibly be resolved through society's destruction.

I agree. Nothing is worse than the parasite.

...We don't agree, then. I'm perfectly fine with being a parasite and perfectly fine with parasites.

Capitalism isn't based on the self sacrifice of the workers, it's based on the trade off labor for resources.

A trade off that can only happen because workers don't take the capitalist's property the moment they can.

Communism has no such incentive for the efficient, effective distribution of resources.

I don't give a shit. It doesn't matter if the efficient, effective distribution of resources occurs under communism, capitalism, fascism, feudalism, or whatever. I will seize my liberty and act upon my interests, and, in doing so, I will create communism, at least for myself. It is taking what I desire, not efficient or effective distribution of resources, that results from self-interest.
