He didn't write "men", but "people", not "bureaucrats", but "public agencies" (as in authorities).

He also writes about his extreme shyness towards women a lot and his childish dreams and sort of autistic fantasies of political grandeur. A lot of it does indeed sound very applicable to the -let's say- chud/incel type of psychology which quite neatly illustrates that that isn't just a contemporary phenomenon caused by ego shooters and social media or whatever.

I think he used these "diaries" as a cathartic exercise since he was so alone while writing The Decline. He makes a way more balanced impression in his letters and that impression strikes me to be more than the mere social facade of a correspondent. His numerous undertakings after his rise to fame imply he later came to grips with his anxiety.
These "diaries" aren't a joy to read, but it's nonetheless fascinating and touching to learn about these human and sensitive traits of his.
I started to translate these fragments here and there but I don't know if a lot of people would be interested in reading them. They don't make for these sort of vitalizing infusions of a lot of readers of his seem to be out for.

It's not on me to point out the differences. It's on you to point out the similarities.
Other than that, my understanding is that Spengler was part of the Conservative Revolution, which was largely made up of men like Carl Schmitt and Ernst Junger who initially had high hopes for Adolf Hitler, just like Martin Heidegger did, but very quickly turned against him.
I haven't read much Spengler myself, but I recall reading somewhere that he writes extremely critically of both Hitler and National Socialism in his diaries by 1936.

He was an anti-democratic and anti-parliamentarian, decisionistic nationalist hoping for a dictator to lead Germany. He wasn't a Hitlerist or Nationalsocialist, he even grew opposed to them, but surely we can agree on Nationalsocialism being just one variant of Fascism. Spengler always revered Mussolini and he stood in close contact with several Fascists like Gregor Strasser and shared a lot of their political beliefs.
I'm not the one who initially wrote Spengler held Fascist views, but it nonetheless seems correct to me, that's why I was surprised to see your brusque objection.

>Other than that, my understanding is that Spengler was part of the Conservative Revolution, which was largely made up of men like Carl Schmitt and Ernst Junger who initially had high hopes for Adolf Hitler, just like Martin Heidegger did, but very quickly turned against him.

So what? This applies equally to Evola, who was a reactionary, not a fascist. If you have any doubts about that, look into his Fascism Viewed From the Right.
>but I don't see how Schmitt turned against him at all.
I mentioned Schmitt because he was part of the Conservative Revolution, but my understanding is that he never really supported him. I am strongly considering learning German just so I can read more of his work, by the way, but I am not sure if I should.
>Also saying Heidegger did seems like a stretch to me.
We had a thread about this the other day with quotes from the man himself and at least one biography on him, if I remember correctly. I will see if I can dig it up soon, but it is incontrovertible that he initially supported Hitler but was later disappointed.

>> No.18102635

Concerning Heidegger: I mixed up a number of things.
First, I found the thread, but it was nothing. Someone claimed that he wrote in a postwar letter that he has no reason to apologize, because Hitler disappointed him. Here's the link: >>/lit/thread/S18043994#p18044177
Second, my view of Heidegger comes from Michael Gillespie's essay on him in the third edition of Leo Strauss's famous History of Political Philosophy. Here is the relevant quotation, from pages 895 to 896.
"Heidegger became involved with the Nazis during the early 1930s at Freiburg University. In the midst of the revolution that followed Hitler's rise to power, Heidegger was asked by his colleagues to become rector of the university in order to help preserve its independence. He hoped for more than this, however, and believed that the Nazi revolution could be directed toward a more fundamental experience of human existence that could serve as the basis for a more authentic ethics and politics. In this scheme for reform and redirection, the German university in Heidegger's view would have to play a leading role and give the political movement an intellectual substance that it hitherto had lacked. Such a fundamental refounding of German life thus presupposed a refounding of the German university. It was this that Heidegger thought he might effect. The decidedly un-Nazi title of his inaugural address as rector, 'The Self-Assertion of the German University,' reflects such an aspiration.
"Heidegger's hopes soon revealed themselves as illusions. He found himself at odds with the Nazis as a result of his resistance to the Nazification of the university and his unwillingness to dismiss Jewish faculty members, and his attempts at compromise failed to satisfy the authorities. Nor were these Heidegger's only difficulties, for the positive forces in the German university that he had hoped to unite behind him resisted his attempts at reform. His hopes for a political transformation on the basis of an antecedent academic transformation thus were shattered. Confronted with Nazi demands he was unwilling to fulfill and faculty intransigence he could not overcome, he resigned. As a result, he was viewed with growing suspicion by the regime and subjected during the rest of the Nazi period to a variety of punitive measures including surveillance of his seminars and forced labor on military fortifications.
"Whatever his aversion to Nazism, Heidegger apparently also saw something positive in it, for in 1935 he spoke of 'the inner truth and greatness of this movement' in his lectures on the 'Introduction to Metaphysics' and included this passage when they were published in 1953. Does this mean that Heidegger was a Nazi? Heidegger tried to defend himself against this charge in two ways. First, he argued that to alter the text would be a historical falsification. Indeed, this would have left him open to the charge that he was trying to conceal his Nazi past.

>> No.18102657

>>18102635
(cont.) Second, he drew attention in the 1960s to a parenthetical gloss on the offending passage, which ran '(namely the encounter between world technology and modern man).' It was Heidegger's contention that his serious audience understood him correctly in 1935 while the stupid and suspicious interpreted the passage to their own satisfaction as a sign of his affection for the regime. All intricacies of fact and speculation aside, it remains incontrovertible that Heidegger never publicly repudiated his Nazi utterances.
"That said, what does this gloss tell us about Heidegger's understanding of Nazism? Modern man, as Heidegger understands him, is fundamentally bound up with technology. As Ernst Junger, in Heidegger's view, had insightfully shown in his book The Worker, the model for man's Being in the contemporary technological world is the worker. It was apparently the attempt of the Nazis to give a new meaning to man as worker that Heidegger admired and that he believed offered a possibility for a new and more authentic ethics and politics, although how this might be achieved he never made clear. He recognized that those in power were too unskilled in thinking to come to grips with technology in an adequate way but believed they might listen to those capable of thinking more profoundly. Here he was clearly wrong and failed to appreciate the dedication of the leaders of the Nazi movement to an ideology of genocide and apocalypse."

Doesn't it at least overlap even with very narrow definitions of Fascism? Keep in mind the post you originally replied to was talking broadly about "holding fascistic views". How would you define Fascism?

>This applies equally to Evola, who was a reactionary, not a fascist. If you have any doubts about that, look into his Fascism Viewed From the Right.

I am not sure about the significance of such self-assessments in terms of reaching meaningful, objective classifications, especially when those assessments were written or proclaimed after Fascist rule had ended.
I am not too familiar with Evola, but some of his views make me wonder if the political realities he wishes to return to as a reactionary actually ever existed outside of his own mind. In this sense the mere term "reactionary" strikes me as unsatisfactory to label him.
Speaking of Evola, do you maybe have a book rec concerning his after war trial?

>I mentioned Schmitt because he was part of the Conservative Revolution, but my understanding is that he never really supported him.

(Once Hitler gained power) Schmitt was relentless and absolutely unambiguous in supporting him and NS-rule most notably by legitimizing it legally.

By the way aren't pretty much all of his works translated yet?

I am not talking about his "suprafascista" comment. I am talking about his assessment of Italian Fascism in Fascism Viewed From the Right, which is a relatively brief document and can be found for free online. I haven't finished reading it, but the following quotation from the second chapter should make my point clear:
"Even in looking for positive elements in Fascism, there is an essential difference between two different positions. On the one hand, there are those who take Fascism for their one and only reference point, and make their own political, historical and doctrinal horizon begin and end with Fascism (as well as analogous movements in other countries - German National Socialism, Belgian Rexism, the early Spanish Falange, Salazar's regime in Portugal, and the Rumanian Iron Guard; it was only the other day that one could speak of a 'worldwide revolution' as of a general movement in opposition to the proletarian revolution). On the other hand, there are those who consider what was present in these movements in terms of particular forms that were more or less imperfect and adapted to circumstances, but in which ideas and principles of that earlier tradition of which we have spoken were manifested and active. (In these ideas and principles we should recognize a character of 'normality' and consistency). These people lead these movements' original aspects, which are 'revolutionary' in the strict sense, back into the domain of the secondary and contingent. In brief, it is a questioning of reconnecting Fascism wherever possible with the great European political tradition, and to separate out that which existed in it only because of compromise, of divergent and absolutely deviant possibilities, and of phenomena that in part suffered from the same evils it was reacting against and attempting to combat."
He was essentially an outsider who thought that he could push Fascism in a reactionary direction.
>I am not too familiar with Evola, but some of his views make me wonder if the political realities he wishes to return to as a reactionary actually ever existed outside of his own mind.
This is a good point, but I think it applies to everyone with political ideas.
>In this sense the mere term "reactionary" strikes me as unsatisfactory to label him.
I would agree, if only because his notion of "Tradition" could not have existed in pre-Enlightenment Europe, and would likely have resulted in his being branded a heretic.
>Speaking of Evola, do you maybe have a book rec concerning his after war trial?
No.

>(Once Hitler gained power) Schmitt was relentless and absolutely unambiguous in supporting him and NS-rule most notably by legitimizing it legally.
That doesn't sound right to me, particularly considering how he was denounced by partisans of the regime for being too Hegelian, if I remember correctly. The biggest stumbling block to the idea of Schmitt as a fascist is the fact that he tried to get the Nazi Party banned before they came to power and made no attempts to justify them or their order after the war ended.
>By the way aren't pretty much all of his works translated yet?
I don't think so. His diaries, in particular, have not yet been translated. Speaking of his diaries, here's the first thing that comes up when I search for them in English:

I used to be afraid of sleep itself. Beat that. Now I'm afraid of sleep paralysis. In the process of conquering that fear as well.

I can literally feel myself growing stronger mentally with each passing new year of suffering. That's what I get for more than a decade of living life like a sloth.

It's funny because in the last 2 years my view has radically shifted - I used to think eternal suffering was preferable to nonexistence when I was afraid of sleep itself, now I can say I would prefer oblivion to eternal suffering while dealing with sleep paralysis fear.

The funny part is I haven't experienced sleep paralysis even once. In my 30 years I have never experienced it, and even in the last few months with my anxiety shot through the roof it didn't come. It likely will never come, and is some kind of rarely understood neurological disorder affecting a small percentage of the population. Even so, it's entirely harmless and the reality is that you simply close your eyes and nudge your muscles awake for 15-30 seconds until they also wake up. Everything else to it is nonsense conjecture.

Spengler wasn't a fascist or Nazi. He was a conservative Right Hegelian with a boner for the Prussian aristocracy (similar to Hegel himself?). Prussianboos were famously contemptuous of Nazis and tried to assassinate Hitler a couple times. One of Uncle Spenk's books got banned by the Nazis and I think that's why he gave up writing his last book. His predictions for the future of the West gradually turned him off politics. He predicted Caesarism (populist rule by generals and millionaires through personality cults) and wasn't happy about seeing Trump in his crystal ball. You can separate his politics from his theory, too, and even consider his theory in a more Young Hegelian light, which is basically what Cultural Relativism has done for the past century, in much the same way Postmodernists overlook Heidegger's NSDAP pin.

why sleep paralysis of all things to be scared of?

>> No.18107329

>>18107293
I think the fear of sleep was predated by an intense fear of death in 2018, which was predated by a base fear of losing control in general. It's all connected.

My fear of sleep was based on me thinking like I'd be falling into a deep pit of void and losing my sense of "self" as I slept, fade to black, etc. My fear of sleep paralysis is the fear that I'd lose bodily function for a bit.

The thing about anxiety is that once you experience an intense anxiety-based fear, it literally changes you physically. You trigger the fight-or-flight mechanism and it the anxiety causes it to remain in you for a prolonged period of time, so you start living life for weeks in survival mode and your thoughts center around that. One of the crazy things about psychological issues is that they can easily cause chemical changes in you as well, and those remain inside you for months possibly even years.

So even after some time where you feel like you'd "solved" your fear rationally, you still return again and again to having negative thoughts despite thinking you are over it. However your brain isn't, and the chemical imbalance caused by that spike in anxiety is continuing to fuck you up months later. It's a gradual process of basically detoxifying yourself through psychotherapy and physical supplementation like a good diet, sleep hygiene, and even drugs. I take something called adaptogens like Ashwagadnha which have the purpose of lowering your cortisol levels in your body and regulating them - the literal stress hormone.

It's a pretty exhausting and frustrating thing to have to deal with. The desire to "just be normal again" can be intense sometimes and you feel like you're incredibly impatient and want to go back to how things were. But hey, I'm clearly fucked up in many ways and if it took a decade+ of degradation to reach this point, it also logically stands that it will take many years to unfuck myself and climb out of my hole.

Where does he fundamentally agree with Fascist thought in your opinion?

>> No.18109858

>>18102505
There is no proto-fascism that everything is a variant of. Meaningless piggy-backing off your emotional investment in the term. There is Fascism, which is Italian, there is Nazism which is German. If you want more you've got to work for it or start defining almost everyone as a Fascist.

I had sleep paralysis for the first time a few days ago (didn't realise what it was at the time).

I didn't feel fear or hallucinate, I was just like wtf I can't move. Ended up trying to wiggle my toes for a period of time to see if that would help return movement to my body and it did. Only later did I find out that I suffered from and apparently you're supposed to try and move small muscles to get out of it so I suppose wiggling my toes actually worked.
