So tell me /lit/ where does one start with getting into nihilism. Do I just start reading Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, ...?
I know nothing of it, I have no idea where to get started

>can't into new sincerity

i think you're doing the wrong type of nihilism. the one where you both acknowledge that all you have is a meaningless life and THEN waste that life struggling to adhere to dumb patrician/plebian dichotomies

OR you're just shitposting, in which case awesome youre a great nihilist

OR you dont like xkcd in which case what are some cool webcomics i should read besides achewood

Forced whimsy is not the answer to anything.
Unless the question is "How can I make myself a completely intolerable avatar of white demonry?" In which case keep reading xkcd and listening to people who talk about new sincerity. Oh, have you seen the one where everyone is some kind of solipsist hivemind? So deep, such insight, very wow.

Go through some history books with focus on 19th century. That would make a great start.

stop

yeah
1) new sincerity is not nihilistic
2) new sincerity is fucking bullshit
3) you're fucking dumb as hell

you should actually read some kierkegaard though, it'd probably make you smarter and get you to throw yourself into something more than "carpe diem #yoloswag"

Pick up some Nietzsche.

A Nietzsche Reader is a great start. It allows you to access Nietzsche without getting completely sucked in.

First, you should read a lot about the study of valid reasoning. After you have understood this magical subject called logic you should be able to recognize nonsensical statements and propositions. If you dismiss the right kind of statements and propositions because they contain nihil, you are a nihilist. If you dismiss the wrong kind of statements and propositions you are a idiot savant. Nihilism will not give you anything. It is obvious and childish. An intelligent individual will have arrived at this conclusion without philosophical guidance.

Zapffe and Nietzsche.
Both accepted the same premises, but Nietzsche stopped one step before the abyss. Zapffe did one step more.
Tiny difference, huge consequence.

Oh, you think nihilism is your ally, but you merely adopted the emptiness. I was born in it, molded by it. I've been a nasty little edgelord since the first day of puberty; by then, existence was nothing to me but blinding! The shadows betray you, because they belong to me. I will show you where I have made my home, whilst preparing to bring justice. Then, I will break you. Your precious armoury, gratefully accepted. We will need it. Ah yes, I was wondering what would break first. Your spirit, or your body.
