BAP is one of those straussians and is cynically selling nietzsche to proles knowing that it's just masturbatory and totally inconsequential to the powers that be

the texts by those weren't meant for the working class either, both were primarily meant for foreign communists and communist parties who would eat up and propagate whatever bullshit they were making up that day. The red book is literally just common sense shit with good things said about the peasantry (their main support base) and the economic problems of the USSR endorses shit that stalin previously went on record as saying is completely bourgeois and impossible
>>20925386
it's mostly read by middle and upper class dudes, it's honestly funny how many people who like bronze age mindset and shill BAP are just middle neets or middle age dudes trying to recapture a sense of masculinity that they never had

[Anonymous No.20925757]

The primary consequence is that boards like this are now shit up by 18-25 year old failure to launch types who are only going to talk about Mishima, Junger, Nietzsche, and one or two other approved authors. They don’t need to read because they have already received their opinion from on high. This board is now destined to lag the tastes of some twitter personalities where it once lead by virtue of actual discussion. In 6 more months you won’t be able to stomach coming here, assuming you have been stomaching it post-/his/.

Implications?

[Anonymous No.20925986]

>>20925360
This (dude?) is spot on. Bronze Age Mindset is loaded with gay subtext. All of its Straussian esotericisms (of the Persecution and the Art of Writing variety) relate to figures BAP surreptitiously posits as perennial or Christian Ideals but who are in fact just gay, e.g. Conradin.

[Anonymous No.20926101]

>>20925853
Yes -- if anything the compilation is measured and conservative. It glosses one article in which BAP defends the academic practice of certain Jews who raise questions about the doctrine of biological equality. Pro-Israel sentiment is consistent with what he writes in Bronze Age Mindset: "[Camraderie and friendship] was a great act of self-overcoming for [Jews]" [...] "the creation of Israel is the most 'anti-Semitic' act ever conceived" [...] "[Israel is] a great model for others to show that reestablishment of antiquity is fully possible."

The alarm is not that he is a PhD funded by an Israeli think-tank so much as his Peter Thiel connection -- of which I must admit ignorance beyond hearsay -- because it casts significant doubt on his intentions. I wrote this post >>20925986 and referenced Persecution and the Art of Writing; part of Peter Thiel's project uses Strauss and Girard as a kind of foundation to make right-leaning edifices loaded with double-meanings meant to sow seeds for his particular (and dubious) agendas -- what perennialists might call 'counter-initiation'. E.g:

>I’ve been interested in Strauss for a long time. I think Strauss was a very important and profound thinker. His essay “Persecution and the Art of Writing” shows how in all societies certain ideas are not allowed to be discussed. Properly understood, political correctness is our greatest political problem. We always have this question of how to build a society in which important problems can be thought through and tackled. It’s a mistake to simply fixate on the problem of political correctness in its narrow incarnation of campus speech codes; it’s a much more pervasive problem. For instance, part of what fuels the education bubble is that we’re not allowed to articulate certain truths about the inequality of abilities. Many of our destructive bubbles are linked to political correctness, and that’s why Strauss is so important today.
(https://www.the-american-interest.com/2012/02/01/a-conversation-with-peter-thiel/))

Notice the similar talking points -- almost point-for-point in fact -- between Thiel's quote and BAP's article in the comp.

that's true, though. the only problem is that amerilards are so fucking dumb that they keep sending them money lmao

you act like jews are scourge of the world, but everyone else knows better. The United "Cloaca Mundi" States of America is the responsible for most evils of today

[Anonymous No.20926135]

>>20926120
I'm not aiming any ire at Jews; I didn't make the comp. The article is just consistent with what BAP wrote in the book.

>What did they mean by this
Their job is unironically to craft an illusion for girlbosses to make them think they are working. While some bitch is working in an office as a consultant thinking she's making a difference, there are a bunch of proles whose only work is to maintain the infrastructure that are needed for her to keep her delusions without realizing she isn't actually doing anything for society. Most city people could disappear and society would keep functioning just as well.

[Anonymous No.20926252]

>>20926169
Kantbot doxxed BAP a few years ago. Costin's academic work is freely available through University libraries; I would recommend skimming his thesis on Nietzsche and Plato as well as his book reviews.

There's quite a bit of discussion about this in the /lit/ archives: >>/lit/?ghost=yes&task=search&search_text=%22Costin%22&offset=0.. Use your judgment; there are plenty of people who think the dox is illegitimate.
