no? he fought for the french foreign legion as a teen, was a lieutenant in the wehrmacht during ww1, and had a long successful career writing literature throughout the 20th century.
>>12178832
yes, very comfy reading. in his main works he was trying to outline a way to live in the modern world in a way that is both stirnerian/nietzschean and traditionally-minded. ride the tiger is far and away his most interesting book but i'd put path of cinnabar, revolt against the modern world, and men among the ruins as pre-reqs for it.

reactionary right wing politics isnt intellectually consistent

if evola contradicts national socialism ideology it doesnt fucking matter to the /pol/ type that is just desperately looking for intellectual justification

>>12179520
you and I both know that isnt true.
any /pol/ book thread will always have recommendation for evola

>>12179522
no politics are consistent, specially when you blur the line between theory and propaganda which everybody does

>> No.12179539

>>12179531
thats what im saying. Evola is just this mystical figure for alt-right /pol/ types to have SOME intellectual behind their ideas even if they dont match up entirely

reactionary politics doesnt have an intelelctual tradition so they latch on to the very few authors there are to say "look my ideas are justified! see theyre old just like liberalism or marxism or whatever!"

Reading you is like reading people who write about "a cure for cancer". It's so apparent that you don't know anything about what you're talking.

>> No.12179542

>>12179522
yes it is, you are making conclusions based on a priori synthetic assumptions concerning things you think you wouldn't like
there's no way a faggot like you would actually take the time to read one of evola's books; you already know what your opinion about it should be based on a one-paragraph description of it

>> No.12179551

>>12179540
you really think a bunch of horny and lonely 17 year olds on /pol/ give a shit if evola wasnt really a fascist? they just want SOMETHING to cling on to that validates their ideas.

>>12179539
i don't think anybody in reactionary politics is deluded enough to think there's a decent unbroken tradition of reactionary politics, that's why everybody is looking into old authors and some meme blogs that hit it big

the thing is that liberalism and marxism are a joke at this point, so people are looking for alternatives, of course the alternatives will look like a joke for a while when people are figuring things out, and everything may turn out to be just another joke, there's no reason to be optimistic about any of this

I dont give a shit what you read. evola is just reactionary trash. people only give him the light of day because theyre looking for intellectual justification for their own reactionary meme ideology.
