No, this is what intellectual discourse has come to.

It serves as a pretty good introduction to the burgeoning traditionalist movement. I'd read it if you were interested in getting into more advanced traditionalist thinkers--Plato, Nietzsche, Guenon, Hitler, Evola etc.

[Anonymous No.18890831]

>>18890813
The problem with the book is that it's like a manifesto for a small subculture more than it is anything that tries to change the world.

The same applies to BAPs Twitter and his podcast as well, this is just the subculture of a particularly masculinity obsessed group of men who work out in gyms and fantasize about dying in battle, but it's not politics, politics actually means you try to change the world, not circlejerk about how much concentrated onions exists in Hollywood.

BAP is like a priest talking to his flock, but neither the priest nor the flock actually has any desire to change the world, they are just coping through fantasy, and the same can be said of every single reactionary since modernity began.

It's basically a continuation of Nietzsche but with more right-wing elements. I'd even go as far as saying that it's a completion of Nietzsche's dialectical system. It's quite dense though and will serve as a goldmine for future Nietzsche scholarship.

The biggest problem is BAP himself. He should have written the book, done a "season" of the podcast, and then ended it.
>Now friends, we have had laughs, but I must go. Friend Agamemnon calls me, I must board outrigger canoe and sail from mountain ski lodge in tropical resort hidden in Agartha to Troy, to ascend the high walls for glory and fame everlasting with brother frogs. Thalatta, thalatta!
And then, stop fucking posting. BAP, the character (I don't care if BAP is actually Costin, he's obviously not fucking BAP), MUST die. He HAS to. The longer a character exists, the higher the chance of the person playing them fucking up rises. BAP fucked up. He said too much dumb shit, and he ruined his previous efforts. Had he not done this, he'd be remember for centuries. It's one thing to argue that the TRS crew are self referential fart huffers who turn Jews into demon-Gods (a valid point, although I believe that they are not this bad), it's another thing to go out and get in a fight with the TRS crew over whether or not Finklethink is real. Arguing against Finklethink is such a mind numbingly stupid position that I'm actually sort of shocked. Even Liberals and Commies will happily agree with Finklethink being fucking obviously real, people have been pointing this out for over half a century, shitlibs just get queasy when you point out who set the false dialectic up and who it benefits. I genuinely don't get how someone like BAP, who clearly isn't a drooling retard, could not see what damage it would do to the BAP character by agreeing with some Jewish ortholarper. I mean, for fuck's sake the two of them use this to argue that you should unironically go out and vote for Dan Crenshaw because his "platform" has "good values".

ZOG's plan is to suck the New World dry and then fuck off back to the Old World, a Neo-Byzantium with Israel as Constantinople. BAP, being from one of the lesser tribes of Eastern Europe, absolutely adores this idea because his bloodline only conceives of politics in terms of "fucking over the people in the next village over because the Czar is bullying us". Fundamentally, he has no disagreements with ZOG's plan because it just means that he and his get to get in their outrigger canoes and go commit piracy against other White people. The people who call him a Neocon are completely correct, they just don't get what Neoconservativism actually is or entails.

>The whole attempt to redefine identity, not just sexual identity, as a matter of decision, meaning decision made arbitrarily, freely, a choice of the intellect or reason, is their desperate reach to find a new justification for the freedom of the will, the soul unrestrained by nature or biology. Such things make no sense when you realize you’re your body and there’s no you aside from this. The first lines of the Iliad make this clear: you do have a “soul” of sorts apart from your body…it just isn’t you. It’s a shade. It’s completely homosexual.

My praise of all bap is from the perspective of a lost slave. Like I said, he simply awakened my spirit which led me to study history, philosophy and even theology - all of which I'd been ignorant of. I think for myself now but I do own it to bap for rekindling the spirit I lost through modern leftlib education and a being raised by a single mother. So my praise is on my old self's behalf, and on behalf of all that are like him (which are many lost men today). I do agree of your anti-guruism or of any worship at all for that matter

BAP is probably a smart guy and I can believe he has a PhD as the rumours point out, but there's a reason why he must write about his ideas in a self published book instead of in an acadaemic setting, and it's not because he's "based", but because his ideas would be demolished under scrutiny. His ramblings are fun and I don't like woke culture either, but he's still wrong.

1. The universities don't work the way you think they do. Anyone who has seen them from the inside would tell you that politics, or rather values, take precedence over facts in numerous areas. Sometimes people will attack others just because of who their advisor is or was. I can tell you from my experience that a lot of the discourse in academia involves strawmanning, personal attacks, purely political criticisms, and low-grade quips of the level of "you don't have the right to say that." Academic discourse is not nearly as good as you think it is, and it has limits that have nothing to do with the rigor or rectitude of one's work.
2. I haven't read Bronze Age Pervert or listened to any of his podcasts, but judging by what I'm seeing in this thread, he probably doesn't want to talk to academics. His work is likely intended for a different audience, one open to possibilities that are quite impossible in an academic setting. He would have to produce a certain kind of argument in a certain way with ample reference made to the secondary literature related to every single claim he makes. Such a book might get published by a major university press, but it would lack the power to move men's souls.

From Cartwright’s biography.
>In Athens 1858, Schopenhauer recited his two-volume work to a theater of 30,000. Most were young men, but there were some old, and dozens of women scattered around throughout the calm, united (not quite a crowd, but a) gathering. With a booming voice Schopenhauer gently took the podium and spoke for three days straight, taking breaks here and there but theatrically, and pacing the stage, all while reciting his masterwork of philosophy. On the eve of the third day when he delivered the final words and closed the book, the audience was quiet and gazing up at the powerful, genial man. All their hearts beat to his, and, as the headline read, IN ATHENS THERE WAS OM. Those there could die happy, and might’ve, if not for the voice of a woman up front. “Ahem! Ahem! Excuse me!” cried Marie so faintly, making her way through the silence. She zagged to the front. Schopenhauer looked down at her. He blazed. His eyes shone green at this young woman who raised her hand, and his wild hair grew. Never was man more patient, bold, and in command. Then, in front of the 30,000, and with Schopenhauer giving her the go ahead, Marie cleared her throat, sniffled, pushed up her glasses, and said, “Young men who are overpowered…”
