What are your issues with St. Augustine, St. Luther, Thomas Aquinas, John Calvin and John Bunyan?
 
Sigmund Freud. Not only was he a horny unscientific fraud, he's basically the reason reddit midwits are always like "You hate spiders? You must be an arachnophile!" He could basically posit anything he wanted and if you disagreed he could come up with some gobbledygook reason why you're wrong and secretly want to fuck your mother. I don't have an issue with psychology as a whole but people bringing up Freud's ideas inevitably makes me want to barf. And bringing them up when you're not an expert in the field should be grounds for justifiable homicide.

He really doesn't deserve the title of the father of psychology given how many of his theories have been outright discredited. Yes, science is self-correcting and new ways of thinking replace the old, but is it fair to still give the man credit when almost all of his theories turned out to be hokum?

A useless fucking bum who sperged endlessly on topics he knew nothing about while having no relevant experience in any meaningful pursuit of any kind whose shameless faggotry was only permitted to continue thanks to the son of a successful businessman being such a rube he kept the idiot clothed and fed?

Sounds like just about any philosopher.

I have a low tolerance for pretentious "euphoric" sorts, so Ayn Rand, Anton LaVey and Freud would be my top picks.
Freud gets under my skin the most, due to psueds considering his projection pure genius. As if saying "you want to fuck your mom and literally everything is sexual" is the peak of discourse. At the very least, most people know that the philosophies types like Rosseau and Rand peddled were (and still are) stupid, so they criticize them and their viewpoints accordingly. Freud doesn't get nearly the amount of shit he deserves, and my theories on that are because Freudian as a term just makes people feel intellectual, and most people have NO idea how much of a sensitive pussy he really was. Guy was given preferential treatment by his parents from an early-early age, and he treated his sister like shit, fainted over people disagreeing with him and was also a major cokehead.

Goes without saying, but Marx was a crock of shit. Discounting the pain and suffering his ideas have caused historically and even now, he's the peak example of philosophers almost universally being privileged, dainty to a fault and unable to take critique from detractors without calling them stupid or unenlightened.

Already mentioned Freud. I have a friend who is on her way to become a psychologist and she literally told me "yes, psychoanalysis is unscientific, but we don't care", while shitting on cognitive behavioral therapy at the same time. The guy literally said "if your patient hates themselves, you should acknowledge that their hatred is justified, because they are pathetic." I don't wanna know how many people offed themselves thanks to that advice. Fuck this faggot, praise Victor Frankel.

Many postmodernists. I mean, someone like Baudrillard, Marcuse and Deleuze were spot on, but at the same time, I feel like already mentioned Deleuze, Guattari, Nick Land and some others were just fucking with people with their strange concepts and definitions.

Bataille was just plain on crazy and wrote things that sounded like names of grindcore albums.

The thing is that he was the first psychologist to acknowledge the deep affect sexuality has on the human spirit and that we're not just born as innocent little animals. He's wrong on the specifics, probably every specific, but the general idea is their.

Lots of people have mentioned (((Sigmund Freud))), but my top pick is his less perverted nephew (((Edward Bernays))).
What he lack in sexual deviancy, he more than makes up for in pure Machiavellian evil.

He basically perfected the recipe for this dystopian empire of lies that we now live in. He created the schematics for this technocratic sham democracy that is completely controlled by a small elite of rootless billionaires and their entourage of pet thinkers and henchmen, while the masses are deliberately socially engineered to be as close to their ideal of mindless, degenerate, consumerist nigger-cattle as they can make them.

I pray to god that this demonic Kike is burning in the deepest part of hell!

Sartre and Bouvoir. A pair of degenerate moral relativists both of whom defended pedophilia,( see: french petition against age of consent laws) defended genocidal communist dictators, fucked students and promoted polyamory and radical feminism.

Evola is peak cow ideology, basically "my job after the revolution will be of an aristocrat who does wizard shit while everyone else is a slave"

Most of german philosophy goes in the trash.

As a "natural philosopher", aka science sperglord, he's good. However, these days, the field of philosophy has shrunk to "all the things that are not science", to which his greatest contribution is the Categorical Imperative, which is retarded. Workable "universal" laws have to be specific, and there's no limit on how specific they can be, so the moral agent can always carve out exceptions for himself: "anyone can do whatever he wants, as long as he's me" (you can offload "he's me" to the verb).

There's exactly zero information in that "imperative", zero prescriptions, zero proscriptions. It doesn't even condemn hypocrisy.

Kant was also a globohomo.

I used to disagree with this, but lately find myself agreeing with it more and more. It sometimes appears to me as trying to convince you that 1+1 is not 2, but 3 (Hegel). As trying to predict the future by dissecting the past (Marx). As trying to destroy subjectivity subjectively while being blind to the impossibility and irony of it (Heidegger).

But then again this problem has plagued philosophy since at least Plato’s dialogues and it’s all about finding a public gullible enough to buy your rhetoric anyway.

Marx belief are a direct consequence of Hegel with a new coat of fedora tipping. Even his view of progress, he just took out the Geist thing and choose class conflict instead.
I've read countless times that Marx doesn't count because he is a jew, but his philosophy was a very german philosophy.

I too had a bit of a phase of researching more about Schopenhaure or Nietzche when i was younger. I still think Nietzche is right about christianity but is really not offering much to me nowadays, i've started to really have a distate for existentialism, i tried reading Zaratustra again some time ago and i felt was how pedantic, self centered and smug the attitude of his writting was
