Max Stirner

Max Stirner, also known as Johann Kaspar Schmidt and Ikari Gendo, was a Betoian philosopher, politician, statesman, military, historian, revolutionary and a proponent of nihilist, existentialist, individualist, postmodernist, and anarchist philosophy. Stirner pioneered the theory of Egoist anarchism during his time in Beto-XG and spread it to Earth when he arrived in said planet in 1806.

Born in Beto-XG on 1050, Stirner became a nihilist early on in his life due to childhood bullying, and became an anarchist due to his teacher's lectures about it. Stirner researched political structures in his home planet of Beto-XG and grew a disdain for the Beto-XG Central Government due to its totalitarian ideology.

After studying psychology and political science, Stirner frequented a prostitution bar where he would discuss Anarchist politics. When he entered adulthood, he started being narcissistic, and according to HEF studies developed a god complex. This may have influenced the development of Egoism, Stirner's philosophy that states that Betoian nature is inherently self-serving and that Betoians should live with an individualistic mindset.

Stirner's opposition to the Betoian state and his interest in spreading his philosophy prompted him to write his magnum opus Ego and Its Own, which turned out to be one of the most controversial books in Beto-XG. It was specially detested by the government due to its anti-state and anarchist themes, causing it to be banned by the Betoian government. Stirner commanded the illegal sales of the book in the Betoian black market but the government cracked down on him and arrested him in 1450. After an elaborate prison riot in 1662, Stirner continued his illegal activities and organized a rebellion to ignite the Betoian Civil War. He escaped the planet in 1806 to land in Bayreuth, Germany.

The Betoian ability of shape-shifting helped Stirner to shape-shift into a human. He took the name of Johann Kaspar Schmidt and he spent most of his first years advertising the theory of Egoist anarchism in Germany. As soon as he published The Ego and its Own in Earth on 1840, where he applied his theory of self-interest on human nature, Stirner's philosophy gained worldwide attention, influencing human philosophies such as Anarchism, individualism, and postmodernism.

Stirner founded the Egoist Internationale on 1900, which consisted of multiple individuals, organizations, and political parties which supported Egoist anarchism. Although the idea of political organizations, seeking global dominance, and imposing his own philosophy on the rest of the planet would contradict Stirner's original writing, Stirner's philosophy changed when he arrived on Earth, specially after witnessing the First World War. Stirner saw his mission in Earth as one of liberating the human species from itself, and of starting a new egoist society after destroying all human sociopolitical structures.

Stirner attempted to spread Egoist anarchism in Earth. Stirner wanted a complete takeover of the planet and eventually abolish all structures, which would presumably lead to Egoism, as Stirner believed that human nature would lead to an Egoist society. After seeing the First World War and the spread of Communism, Stirner planned to manipulate humanity into fighting itself so he could take advantage of it. He contacted Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and helped him escape from jail and organize the Nazi movement. Stirner also assigned his ally Hideki Tojo to support Hitler's Axis Powers. Indirectly creating World War II, Stirner got exactly what he wanted after its end (which was also caused by him, since he killed Hitler and framed it as a suicide), as humanity was split between the Capitalist west and the Communist east, resulting in the Cold War. During the first years of the Cold War, Stirner resided in Algeria, where the first pro-Egoist state would be created. This type of government was dubbed as a Modern stirnerist state by observers, as it wasn't an Egoist society but it supported the spread of Egoist anarchism across the world. Just one year after Algerian independence, Mao Zedong's Egoist Republic of China succeeded in the Chinese Civil War, marking the second Modern stirnerist state. Stirner later moved to N'Djamena (Now Stirneropolis) where he would also create another independence movement which encompassed both the Central African Republic and Chad. This would succeed, creating the Central Africa-Chad Union of Egoists.

During the Cold War, Stirner assigned different allies of his to control Communist countries in an attempt to create more chaos between humanity. After the end of the Cold War, Stirner's Egoist Internationale grew further and multiple countries were taken over by egoists, such as Israel. After the Xenomorph Files were released by the Xenomorph Conspiracy Group, Stirner's Egoist faction started to actively intervene in geopolitical conflicts again to gain more power, such as the Russian coup d'etat, 2032 and the Japanese Civil War. After a clash between Human forces with Xenomorph and Egoist forces in South Africa and Colombia respectively, World War III started, and it resulted in a Human victory over the Egoists and Xenomorphs. The Egoists were weakened and the only Egoist-controlled territories remained in Africa and some Asian countries. During HEF bombings in Stirneropolis, Stirner faked his death. Purificación Carpinteyro and Hideki Tojo took control of the CCUOE, while Jun Tsuji took control of the Egoist Internationale.

Following World War III, The Egoist-Spectrum Split took place. Stirner's influence was still felt, and the new leaders of the CCUOE, Hideki Tojo and Purificación Carpinteyro were privately advised by Stirner to govern the country. Stirner reappeared when the Cambodian Crisis started and fought Pol Pot and later La Morsa. He didn't formally take leadership of the CCUOE again and HEF theories about his continued life were confirmed to be true, and his reappearance caused a huge outburst in the world. A few years after this, the HEF and The Condesce organized a plan to shut down the Egoist Internationale for once in and all, threatening Stirner's newly found position in geopolitics.

After World War IV started, Stirner was basically circled, but he was still able to put on his most powerful form, although he was still defeated by the Avengers Initiative and Garou. The Egoist Internationale fully died out after World War IV and Stirner faked his death once again. According to his closest advisor, Hideki Tojo, Stirner fell into madness after World War IV and was permanently physically injured by Julián Leyzaola, causing him to reach out to La Morsa to regain physical health and create a plot to carry on the spread of Egoism. He also had an ideological shift as result of his madness and the 2nd Battle of Stirneropolis, so he planned to destroy the human population and fuse every life form in Earth into one 'Ego'. During the events of Evangelion, Stirner took the disguise of Ikari Gendo and command the Third Impact with help of La Morsa, but his efforts would be reversed by Steins;Gate after Instrumentality was broken.

Egoism
Stirner believes in Egoism, the belief in the rejection of devotion to a system, a group, a person, or an idea. Stirner claims that the Egoist lives himself out and lives in the way he wants to live.

Stirner's interpretation of psychology and history affirms that all actions are inherently egoist and that being a voluntary egoist (admitting to acting on self-interest) is psychologically well, and that involuntary egoism (not admitting to this interpretation of psychology) is unwell.

Spooks, Anarchism, Property
Stirner believes that a spook is a fixed non-material idea that makes people obsess over it, making it inherently wrong. Stirner claims that such thing can be the state or religion, which Egoism seeks to fully abolish. The abolition of the State inside egoism makes it an Anarchist theory. When it comes to property, Stirner's egoists believe in the abolition of private property and completely rejects respect of property. Stirner mentioned that he wouldn't step back from 'personal/private property' and would rather consider it his. His concepts of property reject all form of morality.

Morality
Morality is rejected by Stirner as a fixed idea and the theory is completely devoid of morality. Stirner doesn't seek moral basis on his actions and considers morality to be a spook. Stirner's lack of morality would cause him to become one of the precursors of Nihilist and post-modernist philosophy.

Relation to other ideologies
Stirner also strongly believes in individualism. Stirner himself rejected ideals like Communism and Capitalism and economical matters were interpreted by the Union of Egoists, which is understood as a non-systematic association which serves as a relation between Egoists in a community.

Co-operation
While Stirner's own works are against cooperation, Stirner himself has participated in collaboration (i.e Egoist Internationale). Stirner believes that collaboration for a final goal of Egoist anarchism is acceptable, as long as the collaboration isn't carried out after the transformation from a state to an egoist anarchist society.

Humanity
When he initially arrived on Earth, Stirner believed that just as Betoian nature, Human nature was inherently egotistical and in self-interest. As time went on, he grew disdain of the human race, specially after seeing the chaos that humanity was able to produce in conflicts such as World War I. He saw it as his 'mission' to liberate the human race from itself, and believed that if all spooked structures were abolished humanity would go back to its natural state of acting in self-interest.

Betoian abilities
Stirner is able to shape-shift thanks to his Betoian nature.

Other abilities
Stirner is known to be good in hand-to-hand combat. He is also highly intelligent and manipulative. He's also a very skilled leader and usually takes leadership in most groups he's in.

Position of Max Stirner
Max Stirner's political position as the founder of Egoist anarchism and leader of the Egoist Internationale has caused historians to place him as leader of the whole Egoist movement in the Great Cold War.

Stirner was considered the primary enemy of the Human Earthist Front and its Avengers Initiative, and he was their top target for decades until World War IV, where he was defeated, although this was a plot where he faked his death.

Stirner stopped participating in politics after World War IV.
