This guy, /lit/. This magnificent bastard right here.

Can we get an Ernst Junger thread happening?

Which is the best Junger, the conservative revolutionary or the anarch?

What an awesome question.

I'm reading Eumeswil right now, and I'm all in on the anarch. All fucking in. It's like if James Bond was Bruce Lee, Ernst Junger would be Ip Man. It's a stupid comparison in many ways (conflating literary and historic figures from across cultures, etc.) but...well, whatever.

But I think that his concept of the anarch one of these concepts that really makes sense coming from a conservative-revolutionary background - moreover, one that actually sees the war, as Junger does, the craziness and the transcendent dimensions of it that he describes.

How about you? Which is the best Junger?

Put another way, becoming the anarch - this transition from soldier to worker to rebel to anarch - just makes sense, as an intellectual evolution of a person who lived in and through those times the way that EJ does.

I've read some of the thinkers from in and around this era - Heidegger, Spengler, Nietzsche, Stirner - and Junger seems...I don't know, just unique.

And then, of course, he says shit like this. So I need to balance out my raging faggotry on this subject with some commentary and criticism. In the meantime I will supply some more based quotes.

As a panicky fuckhead who was made more panicky by reading too much continental philosophy I happen to enjoy this one.

How about a crazy wallpaper? We can do that.

Note also the presence of the psychedelic mushroom there. Our man, in addition to being awarded the Order of Merit for distinguished awesomeness in battle also regularly experimented with LSD with Albert Hoffmann. That's pretty fucking neato.

Consider also this nice little précis:

"Opposition is collaboration."

That's all I have for now. Hope /lit/ is having a good one out there.
