*walks around during a blitz thinking he's invincible and gets his legs taken out by a bomb*
*believes in magic*

>>10703673
Mussolini was rumored to be terrified of his magic.

*unaffected emotionally by paralysis and continues life as usual*

>>10703676
is your source a 4chan post

>>10703676
Is that really Evola on the left?

>>10703693
Yes
>>10703692
No

>>10703713
What book is that?

>>10703723
That's the (ridiculously long) intro to Men Among the Ruins

>>10703665

>>10703693
Have another rare

>>10703752
Ok this one has to be fake


w-why is he standing like that

>>10703759
like what? He looks like he was about to move before someone snapped a photo. Based on the cane thing in his hand I think he was going horseback riding or something.

>>10703759

>>10703777
is he sleeping or dead?

>btfos biological racism
???
Evola didn’t reject biological racism you assclown.

>>10703939
brb adding "BTFO'S /pol/tards" to the list

>>10703962
That would be better I guess, don’t know how Evola is viewed on pol though. Either way race was not purely spiritual for him and it’s a brainlet tier interpretation to think otherwise.

>>10703673
>walked around outside during bombing raids to "ponder his fate"
>gets paralyzed by it
Well I guess he figured out that his fate was to be a cripple for the rest of his life

>>10703962
>>10703939
biological race was part of his equation just not all of it.

>stood essentially for an aristocracy opposed, both in mind and body, not only to obscure,
bastard, "demoniacal" races among which must be included the Kosalian and Dravidian
strains found by the Hyperboreans in the Asiatic lands they conquered, but also, more
generally, to that substrafum that corresponds to what we would probably call today the
proletarian and plebeian masses born in the normal way to serve, and that in India as in
Rome were excluded from the bright cults characteristic of the higher patrician, warrior,
and priestly castes.

>>10703888
I genuinely don't know, I hope the former, but he does look kinda dead.

>>10704013
>>10703939
True, but just keep in mind that he explicitly believed that a Jew could have an Aryan soul and an Aryan could have a Jewish soul.

>>10704130
Can you quote him on that?
They can have the characteristics which define said spirit, I agree. But I highly doubt he ever said it in the sense of the spiritual realm. An aryan with a Jewish spirit, the opposite or any other blend can never reach personal perfection.

>>10704237
I don't have the quote on hand, but he did say that, practically verbatim. You can disagree with it if you like, no one is obliged to agree with Evola's opinion on the matter.

*writes a book on sex
*dies a virgin

Has there ever been a more pathetic "philosopher"?

>>10704254
Why do you think he died a virgin? He had numerous lovers, although he never married. One of them, after they broke up, even wrote a novel in which she portrayed him as a villainous and emotionally cold wizard lol.

>>10703939
He wasn't against racialism but he was against a scientific form of it.

>>10704264
Because it's been reported multiple times that he never had sex. I thought this was common knowledge.

>>10704275
He wasn’t against it fully. He had some disagreements with it, but was ultimately against it in a pure form. To him spirit was the most important but he never disawoved biology and the blood which a spirit held and recognized differences in ethnic groups.

>>10704251
Are you sure you're not confusing him with Weininger?

>>10704325
Nah, that's false. I've never even heard that before, and all the evidence contradicts it.
>>10704333
Yes, I'm sure. Unfortunately I can't remember where quote was from. Possibly Path of Cinnabar. He has a whole section there on race.

>>10704237
Yes he said that, it was one of the things mentioned by a Nazi report on him btw

I think it was in path of cinnibar or synthesis on the doctrine of race

>>10704333
He said Weininger and Carlo Michelstaedter were Jews who demonstrated to have the soul of an Aryan actually if I remember correctly

>>10704325
That is retarded

>According to rumour, Mussolini was afraid of Evola’s magical powers and formed the well-known gesture against the Evil Eye whenever he was mentioned. It seems that Evola even lost journalistic assignments because of this. It is also certain that Mussolini was superstitious, and that Evola had the reputation of bringing bad luck in the circles then current.

>In ancient Rome, the fig sign, or manu fica, was made by the pater familias to ward off the evil spirits of the dead as a part of the Lemuria ritual.

He literally talks about spiritual adoption. The blood of the spirit > blood of the blood.

>accepting Platonist metaphysics

Another consciousness sublated on Hegel's wall that failed to construct Jacob's Ladder.

The Italian edition of The Unique and His Property has an appendix concerning reactions to and influence of Max Stirner's work. There is a chapter within it that involves the far right, here's my translation of Evola's part:

Rather, it took a genuine associate of the Herrenklub of Berlin, a ferocious ghibelline like Julius Evola (never registered to the [Italian] fascist party, which he despised for its “feminine” flaccidity), to come to the true conclusion, for only one was possible: Stirner is a Jew. Thus, without any foundation (but whatever could factual evidence matter in such a grandiose design?) we find again Stirner, as “father of integral anarchism”, included by Evola in the list of instigators whom brought forth “the destructive endeavour” of Judaism “in the properly cultural field, protected by the taboos of Science, Art, Thought.” They are, in the order they're invoked: Freud, Einstein, Lombroso, Stirner, Debussy (whom it is conceded to be a "half-Jew"), Schönberg, Stravinsky, Tzara, Reinach, Nordau, Lévy-Bruhl, Bergson, Ludwig, Wassermann, Döblin (introduction to The Jewish International, The “Protocols” of the “Learned Elders” of Zion, Rome, 1937, pages xix-xx; this is the slightly changed and updated version – and the name of Stirner is part of the update – of another list of the great co-conspirers, which Evola proposed a few months earlier: Marx, Heine, Börne, Freud, Nordau, Lombroso, Reinach, Durkheim, Einstein, Zamenhof, Offenbach, Sullivan – evidently he must have viewed The Mikado as a document of Jewish infiltration - Schönberg, Stravinsky, Wassermann, Döblin, in Julius Evola, Three Aspects of the Jewish Problem, Rome, 1936, pages 38-39).

Italians do that shit when in the presence of dead people and whatnot, but it's about as serious as a belief in the supernatural goes as college girls reading the horoscope.

*stomach

>>10703665
when poor people do weird shit if they're lucky they'll become an outsider artist or be featured on a louis theroux documentary, more likely they'll just become a local character who teenagers through food at. Yet rich people do weird shit and they're considered 'occultists' and idiots pretend they did something profound for decades to come.

>The blood of the spirit > blood of the blood.
No shit, he still doesn't deny blood of the blood.

Is Evola worth a read?

>>10709604
yes, i don't care about his political books but his books writing about different traditions are really good and have plenty of references if you want to dig into primary sources

>>10708844
Evola was onto something here, stirner definitely had the soul of a jew
