It’s hard to explain. I’m anti big government but I support fascism on a local scale, things like the government working the businesses, promotion of high birth rates, and preservation of group identity

>>17127956
your worldview is very hypermasculine. if you are a homosexual i don't mean to criticize that but you seem like a very troubled and unhappy person. what I would recommend for you is to do something fun, like go bowling or go dancing, maybe try to meet some girls, nothing serious, just to have some fun.

>>17128042
>your worldview is very hypermasculine
Never thought it it this way, I always thought it it as quaint, simplistic, romantic and simply rash and practical for its own protection, a sort of two sided nature, violence for the sake of beauty

>you seem like a very troubled and unhappy person
I mean I’m fine most of the time, mostly apathetic, indifferent, perhaps lazy and bored, wanting a bit more out of life but not really wealth, fame or power, just things I find beautiful and security. But I have many moments where I feel down, frustrated at myself for not improving, displeased with my own state in life, longing and day dreaming. Maybe I just need to do more things as a you said.

The fact that the WEF is literally trying to FORCE a fourth industrial Revolution and given what they want to turn peoples lives in to, it just shows how right he was about the never ending March of technological “progress” and how it is a threat to our freedoms. I’m not entirely anti tech though, however I think it should be heavily regulated, all technology should be created for the higher purpose of elevating the whole group or discovering new things, as long as not at the cost of nature of the humanity of people, or as Ted says the power process

Kaczyinski is a key word linking to terror, that's why he's memed relentlessly on here, same with Evola, so glowies can produce reports about rise in extremist views among online communities thus justifying budget increases and more glowie surveillance and infiltration. I'm sure they do the same thing with different keywords on lefty boards and muslim boards.

>>17128120
i assure you it is necessary and a key integral part of my ideology

>>17128121
>same with Evola
What did magic man ever do that was so bad. Wasn’t even that racist or anything and more of a thorn in the fascist regimes foot with his weird metaphysics, though I appreciate his interpretations of paganism and his thoughts on Hyperborea/evolution are quite fascinating. Not one to support the caste system/monarchism he advocate though.

>>17128127
Than I don’t think any sane white man wants anything to do with it. Sounds more like Islam to me, marrying little girls and treating woman like dogs.

Hello fellow Essais poster, mostly good taste but I'll have to ask, what value do you find in The Art of War?

>>17128184
>Sun Tzu -- The Art of War
Some friend of my dad who works at a publishing company gave him a copy of it. Not on any of my list rn but I am half tempted to read it since it was quite a nice looking edition and I remember seeing it on the Murdoch Murdoch reading list which I found a lot of cool books on. What perspective is it worth reading from? Historical? Philosophical?

>>17128210

If you're OP this explains your autism

I mean he isn't that bad, just very underdeveloped. If he had bounced his ideas off other people and read more philosophy I think he could have been more influential and interesting.

>>17128141
why

>>17128120
>implying eco fascism is in any way more legit

>>17128246
Most of the underdeveloped ideas he has have already been developed by other thinkers.

>>17128132
He's linked with the Bologna massacre. It's not about ideas or anything that deep, just names and symbols that can be connected with violent acts.

>>17128327
Yeah that's why I said reading other philosophers would have done him good, he was like a college student that thought up platonic forms without having read Plato.

Das Kapital
The Lenin Anthology
Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung
Kim Il Sung - Selected Works

>>17130178

He’s a Nondual alchemist Christian who’s work resembles Paracelsus and has extreme parallels to eastern tantric thought: he is a trinitarian and a nondualist, he is the spiritual and sulphuric where Hegel is pure mercury/logic.

The best introduction of his work that I’ve seen is either to read Hegel’s essay on him here.

https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hegel/works/hp/hpboehme.htm

Or you can read his works in the order he intended them read which begins very easily and clearly in his short work Clavis.

Clavis, Threefold Life, The Aurora, Questions Concerning the Soul, Theosophical Theses, Mysterium Magnum (commentary on Genesis/Exodus).

It would take many many many posts to produce even a broad outline of his beliefs so I have linked a source far more suited to it than myself.

This diagram is key to his whole model ultimately though

>>17130263
Interesting. I will definitely have to look into this some more. Thank you for sharing this knowledge with me, anon.

>>17128182
Good list for becoming insane. That’s neither a criticism nor an endorsement.

>>17128246
In his more recently published stuff he admits that he’s basically repeating the same criticisms of technological society that people like Ellul already worked out in far more detail and so he attempts to pivot towards creating a sort of theory of strategy for movement.

In that work he just unknowingly rediscovers Leninism.

>>17128210
Like all Chinese wisdom texts I know of it’s meant to be treated largely proverbially rather than as explicit directions towards specific tactics. It’s for the read to meditate from the specific to abstract principle.

>>17128210
>17128191
Philosophical. It can be used as a way to realistically approach competition, management, and strategizing with other people in all areas of life.

Oh definitely, I’ve seen Dee’s work and tantra break a lot of people, boehme less so because I don’t see many people reading him in general.

>>17130758
thanks! To give a little bit more than the picture, I think together they represent a coherent a modern worldview that includes a sort of basic metaphysics, a view of the self, meaning and language, and political commitments.

>>17128025
This is very based

>>17128342
>He's linked with the Bologna massacre.
How is he linked? I'm not directly accusing you of this, but one of the most exasperating (and destructive) things leftists do is draw these tenuous connections between mass murder and anything they find mildly unpleasant.

>>17128055
Unfortunately it looks that way. My band's name is The Ted Kaczynskis' but I'm going to have to change it because it's becoming too cringe at this point

>>17128078
Name some, other than Ellul

>>17131637
pic rel, doesn't matter how true or how tenuous the connection is, it's used by glowies to connect others with extremism. if you look up Evola's name on any anti-fascist website (y'know the kind cited as authorities byt the likes of government orgs) you'll see the alleged Evola/terror link crop up

>>17128038
It truly scares me, what an abomination

the world is nothing but a confluence of forces in which I am loyal to none but my Self, and take my pleasures in struggle, contemplation, and decadence. what is Good is My Good and is pursued with equal strength as I expect all others to pursue their own Good. I ask nothing of anyone that I am not capable of taking.

Ty,
And before anybody jumps on me for having a book about Marx on there, I think Postone’s reconstruction of Marx gives us the basis for understanding the ‘conditions of possibility’ for a properly Republican society, free from domination. IMO Postone’s Marx has very little to do with being a communist in the way that >>17133868 this guy would endorse.
