The Greeks practiced pederasty, if this caused trauma then why are there 0 sources describing a crisis of eromenoi showing signs of abuse like self-harm or suicidal tendencies?
Because most erastes-eromenos relationships weren't abusive, the eromenos would grow up into fine, upstanding citizens with wives and kids.

There is 0 shame in using twinks as a straight guy to satisfy your urges if there is a scarcity of women.

these twitter nu-journalist people dig around in our stupid little website to see what we like so they can shit on it. so they can drag some mysterious obscurity out of a dangerous abyss and mutually award each other points for demonizing it.

the figures on that cover- dugin, bannon, evola, guenon- I can name all of them because I belong to this website. I'm not an intellectual, I'm not a student of traditionalism, I'm not a student at all, by all accounts I shouldn't have a clue who they are. I'm a fucking loser who's been here since he was 14 because internet socialization is less scary than the real life alternative.

people just create narratives out of nothing. "niches within niches" will always be popular on this site and subcultures similar to it because that's just the nature of this place and of the type it attracts: outsiders who sulk inwards and take refuge in niche interests.

Twink has lost its original meaning. What it actually means is a young homo with effeminate features like an androgynous face, luscious hair and not very muscular or fat body, which the older, more masculine gays lust after.
Twink doesn't mean "skinny guy".

I read phaedo and liked plato's musings on the nature of the soul, what are the list of books that represent an at least legible reading of such topics, from classic era to modern?

Capitalism destroys any tradition, any culture, that compromises it's profitability. Why do you think your women are encouraged to devote their most fertile years to a 'career' serving some corporation. Or how your elderly are warehoused alone in nursing homes. Or how every other ad you see on tv encourages lgbt nonsense or single motherhood or any other way to break up the nuclear family. The nuclear family itself is a result of capitalism breaking up the original extended family unit. Why? Because anything that prevents maximum profit for these people will be wore down and destroyed. An endless soulless stretch of strip malls and fast food places full of atomized individuals entirely devoted to their careers is a capitalist society's end goal. "Conservatives" and their idolizing of 'entrepreneurs' and corporations only makes things worse.

Is there a name for this phenomenon where people view a certain civilization or culture in history as "theirs" and this results in them believing the most convoluted and ahistorical excuses as to why that civilization or culture was superior to others? You see it a lot with extreme nationalists, /pol/ types, or other generally idiotic groups. The most egregious example of it I've seen is the Sun Language theory, which was when a bunch of braindead Turkish nationalists claimed their ancestors invented language by staring at the sun or something, and Ataturk (the dictator at the time) even officially endorsed it.
