Such a terrific post.

>I'm not a fan of Land but it's insulting to compare him to a huckster like bannon
Sure. I would never compare Land to Bannon directly. They're in different sectors of the Alt-Enlightenment Dark Techno-Commercium, or however this new political/philosophical thing is supposed to be called now. And Bannon was super-interesting to talk about here last year.

I tend also to be moderately susceptible to new age mystical bullshit.

>Bannon is just run-of-the-mill spengler shit through a filter of booze/cocaine and slick clickbait media.
That's a great characterization. Not only the American Spengler but like an American Spengler for a debased era of Americanism. Like how somebody said pic related wasn't just an Elvis impersonator, he was an Elvis impersonator impersonator. We've come a long way since Spengler.

Still tho. I found/find Bannon interesting because his politics were so on the nose. Glenn Beck called him the American Aleksandr Dugin. Perhaps not a crazy comparison.

So I either I love Spengler enough to find Bannon interesting, or I like a filter of booze/cocaine and click bait to find Bannon interesting. Not entirely sure which tbqh.
