>For the ancient Aryan war had the general meaning of a perpetual fight between metaphysical powers. On the one hand there was the Olympian principle of light, the uranic and solar reality; on the other hand, brute violence, the titanic-telluric, barbaric element in the classical sense, the feminine demonic substance. The motif of this metaphysical fight resurfaces continually through countless forms of myth in all traditions of Aryan origin. Any fight, in the material sense, was experienced with greater or lesser awareness as an episode in that antithesis. But the Aryan race considered itself to be the army of the Olympian principle: accordingly, it is necessary to restore this conception among Aryans, as being the justification, or the highest consecration, of any hegemonic aspiration, but also of the very idea of empire, whose anti-secular character is very obvious.

I specifically said “or whatever you want to call it” to contrast Jünger with Evola and only for that reason. If you mean to imply that they write the same, that’s not true.

Just look what this system has created in India. You have a talented minority ruling class which produce great scientists, mathematicians, chess players, and so on; and then you have a majority population of literal sub 90-IQ serfs who are only good for physical labour. The genetic difference between these two is so large due to the caste system that they are basically separate races. As a result there is 0 social mobility in India, and the country is a shithole. This is not a good system to follow in any way, rightoids, despite the fact that it strokes your hierarchy-minded cocks..

Explain why this is a tragedy. Or do you expect me to just accept that India should have more Jeff Bezos just because?

>Explain why this is a tragedy.
If your aim is to raise the level of the nation you don't create an extremely stratified society where the lower classes essentially become a separate race from the ruling classes. You have to have genetic diversity and then you can implement eugenic social codes which allow for the multiplication of those with desirable traits. The caste system doomed India forever because the lower classes now represent a racially separate -- and inferior -- population.

Does this refer to present day Europeans? It's a bit hard to tell without more context. I am assuming it's referring to present day Europeans.

This chart is not very good, because the top cast do not use "their brain", rather they are portrayed as the head because the head directs the rest of the body and is closest to heaven. The association between the brain and knowledge is more modern. Furthermore, the untouchables are lower than the Shudras since they have no caste.

In Storm of Steel, after being shot in the back by a German soldier (because he'd put on a British officer coat), Junger describes a spiritual experience which served as the basis for his worldview after the war. This is why Evola hotly recommended the writings of the young Junger, since he perceived in those writings the vigour of a genuine warrior spirituality.

hasnt 'Aryan' as a term for the ancestors of indo-european people been replaced by Proto-Indo-Europeans these days? im pretty sure aryan is now only used for the more specific indo-iranian subgroup (and used by idiots in neo-nazi thought ofc)

AFAIK Aryan specifically refers to Indo-European and the two terms are interchangeable. I am not sure how often people use it to refer to proto-Indo-Europeans.

It does refer to them, but not "specifically" to them, AFAIK. It's why the whole "Aryan" movement existed in Europe. Aryan = Indo-European. So both the ones who settled in India and the ones that didn't.
Also, AFAIK, Vaishyas were not considered "Aryan" in the sense that Kshatriya and Brahmins were. It literally means "noble ones", derives from the same common root as the word "aristocratic".

What's this supposed to mean? There is no such division

[Anonymous No.17564940]

The Caste System is an explicit movement AWAY from the PIE tripartite system. The idea of being "born" into a caste that you cannot leave is absolutely heinous and a complete rejection of the entire point of the tripartite system (a triplicity of energies to generate stability). A similar problem results from frontloading one caste with all of the power and might in society. In Rome, it was the fecundic caste, in Germania it was the warrior caste, in India it was the priestly caste. An actual functioning Indo-European society looks like the Celts, the Scythians, or the Persians, all of whom recognized the castes as being functions within man that do not consume him.

You might say "oh but anon in the earliest days the caste system wasn't rigid and people could move between them", but that's just demonstrating my point: the very idea of "being" a brahmin, or "being" a kshatriya, even if you can change between them, is a problem. All men contain within them all three functions, they just move towards one as needed. The tripartite system isn't a method of specialization but a means of generalization.

What has it gotten India? Shit in its holy river and a society that exports everyone with an IQ above 110 to work as nannies to Arabs or wageslaves to (((Google))).

Yes, but the essays in the book were written in the 30s and 40s when the term was still widely used for Indo-Europeans in general.
