Natalie Wynn (Contrapoints) mentioned Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky 1 times

For a lot of blackpilled incels it seems like there is only one thing left in life that they enjoy, which is simply the pleasure of complaining, of moaning in pain. It reminds me of a comment from Dostoevsky's second-most horrible protagonist. - "Even in toothache there is enjoyment, in that case, of course, people are not spiteful in silence, but moan; but they are not candid moans, they are malignant moans, and the malignancy is the whole point." - The moan is a protest against the meaninglessness of pain.
