Bump for interest

spoiler alert: he's a straussian and not a "vitalist romantic ubermensch" or whatever garbage his fans believe

I dug around a bit and found this has already been covered https://i.warosu.org/lit/thread/15507097 There’s a mega link to his thesis in here too

We've gone through his writings before, he's almost definitely BAP

He's going off on cuckbot and some other guy recently about doxxing but still doesn't seem to acknowledge his own dox for some reason

>>16506484
Will all of you fuck off back to twitter already?

Before BAP was a big twitter guy he posted on The Phora. You can read his posts on there and he's an unabashed neocon. This is probably around the time when he wrote his thesis and when he was working for a Straussian think tank. That said, you can follow his posting history of The Phora, then Salo and Twitter, and see that he definitely went through an ideological transformation during the Obama years away from explicit neocon-ism and more towards what he is now. I'm pretty sure BAP acknowledges his neocon past.

What is the actual proof this is him?

Why do people always do that "looking away from the camera" fake nonchalance shit

>>16508283
>and more towards what he is now
He's still quite obviously a neocon

>>16508306
He bashes neocons all the time and his book subtly calls the Jews the destroyer of nations lmao.

>>16508296
It says his name on the gumroad receipt for the podcast

>>16508283
Iirc BAP says he was a hardcore nietzchean but drifted away from that position over time. This was natural when debating on Internet forums, it's just that for most people we only know him from twitter, where his ideas were pretty well formed, we don't think of him as still figuring things out

>>16508384
I haven't read his self-help book, I'm just going off his twitter feed. If remove all the cringy "esoteric bodybuilder" shit he's just a basic conservative + more overt racism.

he's mostly just a second rate icycalm

Are there any good forums left? Phora and Salo seemed fun

Everything is just twitter and 4chan now

>>16508473
>I haven't read the book where he outlines his beliefs so let me tell you about his beliefs

>>16508511
Don't know about phora but salo is still kicking

>>16508283
>I'm pretty sure BAP acknowledges his neocon past.

He talked about this in one of his podcasts and thanked his guest for challenging him on his positions some years ago.

>>16508515
You can ignore him, he's just a LARPer upset that BAP doesn't take the internet all that seriously.

>>16508283
>>16508521
I think "neocon" does a poor job of describing it. Just calling him "a neocon" makes him sound like Eastern European John McCain, which is just not the case.

What the fuck is this Twitter e-celeb bullshit and who is BAP

I don't get how this is the only photo of Costin we have

Have his lectures never been recorded before?

Always interesting to read a thread from the e-celeb fanboy stratum of post2016 4chan

I can't tap into this desire to know what a twitter faggot ate for lunch three months ago so it's a blast to see how the average zoomer thinks

>>16508626
What lectures?

>>16508655
He's an academic so presumably he's given lectures or taught classes

>>16508300
They are looking into their camera and not into the mirror.

>>16506884
>he's a straussian
ah yeah i too saw that tweet today good shit

>>16508515
I don't read self-help books

>>16508283
The Phora? With FateTheButcher right? 18 years ago or so it was the Lyeceum and before that "Horizon Forums/Squad 600" correct?

Holy fuck those boards are still around?

>>16508671
He just finished his PhD and never held any actual academic position. How many of you are actual high schoolers?

>>16506484
Costin’s brother is literally a CIA spook. Look up his former addresses and the guy literally lived in McLean for some time and went to Columbia SIPA, the most infamous spook university after Harvard. He also works a position at an Investment Bank that’s traditionally held by former/current intelligence officers.

>>16509243
lol you don't need a PhD to give classes or lectures guy

>>16509261
No one record the lecture of some shitty TA brainlet. He wasn’t ever some adjunct either.

>>16509261
Lol are you ESL? That anon never said you need PhD to give classes

How did this faggot (and all these Twitter creeps for that matter) dupe thousands of people into thinking he was interesting?

>>16509285
He’s more interesting than you

>>16509284
why would he mention BAP just finished his PhD? What does that have to do with giving lectures or teaching classes? I say this because rumor has it he was an AP with a lot of sway in the academic department of his Uni. He's also constantly railing against Vermeule and calls the catholic ecumenical political project of the republicans a spook, some have suggested because his department has a personal feud with Vermeules.

>>16509285
I don't know about the others but BAP's got establishment connections

Phora is still around, don't know how active it is though.
Most of anything, all this shitty drama reeks of class resentment. Ivy league vs second tier, lower middle class rural vs. upper middle class suburbanite. An actualization of potential rather than wasting away on twitter. The only interesting thing I've seen is that Newton South c/o '97 is oddly prevalent in media positions.

>>16508306
>quite obviously a neocon
you don't know what these words mean. Neocons will never accept the anti-immigration politics of the "alt right"

>>16506484
I uploaded it to B-oks some months ago. Search for "Costin Alamariu".

>>16509568
cheers m8

Always find it hilarious when retards are shocked to discover that people espousing elitist ideologies turn out to be elites

>>16506484
I see no reason to trust a man who blushes that much. He's probably a fag, just by this photo.

>>16509666
Shut up Satan, he's not gay
I do not talk to ugly people anyway.

>>16509243
You might be retarded

>>16509317
He was never a professor. His brother is a spook, that’s why he’s privy on spook stuff.

>>16508393
No it doesn't, I've bought it since it came out. The first email invoice says "bronzeagepervert" and the credit card payments are invoiced to Gumroad's address

>>16508950
What is the modern day version of the phora? Is there any way to discuss shit that isn't reddit/chans or twitter?

>>16508511
facist tumblr is based

All this Schopenhauerian vitalist bullshit is the same as the Malthusians is equal to Nick Land's irrational BS it's all the Neoliberal worldview i.e. "Everyone but the select elite (me, Elon Musk, Gates) is a degenerate/damned/worthless/ugly/etc" BAP wants people to think that if they just meditate, go to the gym, go on a diet the world/modernity will be fixed. Sorry buddy but every 30-something middle class Mom does that exact thing (and they still have that feeling of Emptiness, probably because all those rituals do is feed whatever narcissism/OCD you already have).

It's the new wave of the old 'stoicism, cold shower nofap, jordan peterson' thing they were bandying about 5 years ago, suckering the same sad saps who want simple answers to complex questions, if you want to lift weights go for it but you're not going to become the ubermensch.

>>16510275
Let's not blame the stoics.
They would have just suicided without any of the pessimist bullshit.

>>16510275
BAP's fanboys and his ilk just want to postulate themselves as aristocrats of the soul despite just being your average mid-20's something failure posting on the internet

Questions BAP Must address ASAP:

-How is his valourization of nomadic banditry anything more than a Gypsy cope?
-How is there any supposed continuity between the Liberalism of Adam Smith, common law, individual rights and the present Neoliberberal regime of the World Bank, ICC, Davos conference, etc.? Give details, not just name calling.
-Disavow any suspected interest in femdom
