That's something that only a depressed person would say, IMO.

I used to suffer from depression, and I used to think that. Now that I haven't suffered from depression in approx 15 years, I can tell you that it's not true.

Not everyone sees life as pointless and cynically, not everyone feels numb or chronically sad, not everyone lacks enthusiasm to be alive.

There are people who enjoy being alive. Who feel grateful, joy filled, and enthusiastic about life. However, we all have to deal with frustration and loss.

Depression =/= 'the truth that people deny'. Or something like that.

Very few philosophers propose that, that normally give reasons why tradition is of value, and how to make the judgement of what traditions to disregard and which to keep. I highly recommend Roger Scruton.

>. Literally majority of greatest European art was created by Monsrchists, which is now a far-right position, then there were Faschists like Dali, Pound, Borges etc. "moderate" retards never create anything of value it's either right or left chad schizos.

I'm talking about the current Dissident Right, who shun literature for non-fiction.

Evoking people from the past has nothing to do with the current Dissident Right, who are not producing much literature, films, etc.

Conservatives can and do (in Europe), not the Dissident Right though. They have put their skill and focus into rhetoric.

Yukio Mishima is an example of someone who would be classed as a member of the Dissident Right if he were alive, and living in the west. However, he was an avid Art enthusiast and fiction author, who saw life through Aesthetic-Spiritual terms. The Dissident right seem to be almost exclusively comprised of intellectuals, not Artists. Arguably intellectuals and artists are both needed for massive cultural change (e.g. The Renaissance).

Nationalist Conservatism has that potential IMO, but not the Dissident Right.
