Who is the most red-pilled of all great thinker?

My vote goes to Joseph de Maistre or Julius Evola

Also, and I should not have forgotten this: de Maistre. >>8782987 has already pointed this out, so I'll include a good clip here.

Thanks for making a cool thread OP. Fascism is for plebs, reactionary aristocracy go go go.

I love de Maistre! Never thought of him as being a French Xunzi, but that is a crazy interesting thought and I guess makes sense, now that I think about it. I also had no idea about the Flaubert/Baudelaire connection either...that's good stuff anon, thanks.

Gotta go with the awesome Vogelstein portrait. But yes, de Maistre is that dude. I read the reflections on France, part of the letters on the Pope, not yet the St. Petersberg dialogues. Completely looking forward to it, though.

Basically I used to think religion was for pussies or goofballs who couldn't handle Nietzsche. Thankfully I'm less obnoxious now. Religion actually seems pretty interesting to me now...
