What is it about this man that inspires such seething hatred among a certain subset of /lit/ posters? Is it the witty denunciations, the verbal skewering of so many of /lit/'s idols, the complete eviscerating of modernist ideology?

[Anonymous No.13739591]

It's that you are spamming someone that is boring with no discernible talent. Deleuze and Whitehead are at least interesting and Stirner will always be memeable. Guenon is someone that is forgotten because he had no insight so just drop him there is nothing to meme about him.

You're literally just going around gaslighting people and pushing an obscure reactionary thinker who wasn't even taken seriously in his own time. The only current writers I can think of who cite him as an influence are fucking Aleksandr Dugin and Steve Bannon. Are you literally retarded?

Whitehead and Deleuze are the great metaphysicians; Guénon is a narrowminded Parmenidean, which is ironically only a step removed from a logical positivist.

[Anonymous No.13739952]

His contemporary Alan Watts wrote about the same topics, but did it with swagger. Guenon desperately attempts, but fails to bring any insight into the topics he discusses, mostly due to a complete misunderstanding of their contexts & uninvolvement with their contemporary practices. See what I did there?

Reading him is like watching someone with a toy lightsaber swinging it around at pretend enemies.

If you're widely read, you'll laugh and drop this garbage. The writing style is the height of cringe, so if you want a laugh, it's good for it.

I tried to find out who connects Bannon and Guenon, and got a Vox article.

>And through Evola he went back and kinda became mesmerized by Evola’s guru, who is this French metaphysician named René Guénon who was raised a Catholic, practiced occultism, and joined a Freemason lodge, and eventually converted to Sufi Islam and followed Sharia. Guénon is kinda the godfather of capital-T Traditionalism.


>What attracted Bannon to them was this idea of decline. Guénon’s famous book was called Crisis of the Modern World, and it laid out this view that essentially beginning with the Enlightenment and the rise of modernity and the nation-state system, we in the West lost our connection to the esoteric, to God. And that we were entering a six-thousand-year dark age. I’m trying to think how to explain this without sounding batshit crazy.

Kierkegaard was completely right about journalists.

Thats exactly why they are pushing him. Guenons metaphysics are not self-consistant but he has enough spook and mythology to trick people who are less read especially for a huwhite protestant americans, just like Evola. Its like Jordan Peterson for 110IQ brainlet mutts who larp as Dues Vult Aryans.

Arab conquest of Persia was the best thing that ever happened to it. Every Persian was maidan was defiled and stretched by the Big Arab Cock (BAC), to this day the Persians follow the superior Arab religion, it was nessecary to save Persian culture. Zoroastrianism had made them become too decadent.

>He said that he had not converted to Islam but “moved into” it: “whoever understands the unity of traditions . . . ,” he wrote, “is necessarily . . . ‘unconvertible’ to anything.” Of his “moving into” Islam Guenon also wrote: “There is in it nothing that implies the superiority of one traditional form—in itself—over another, but merely what one could call reasons of spiritual convenience.”

So Guenon poster is a disgusting Arab, huh? Look at image, and also understand that we preserved our genetic character (~90%), much of our literature (Shahnameh and Gathas), celebrations (Nowruz, Mehregan, Yalda, Chaharshanbe Suri, etc.), and grammatical structure (e.g., as simple as saying "darood" instead of "salam"). Listen, faggot, I don't just shill my philosophical or religious views here. I talk about literature, which is what this board is particularly meant for; however, I personally focus on literature of the extremes such as horror vs. wholesome stuff. I also do not like to bring up questions of race, religious affiliation, or etc. everywhere. I wasn't the first one to bring up race or nationality, you dumb faggot. If you Muslim Arabs continue doing this, one day we're going to slaughter all of you.

Anyone have the image of Guenonfag humiliating himself by repeatedly spamming threads pretending NOT to be Guenonfag, and then replying to himself AS Guenonfag?

Each new chapter in the Guenonfag saga is sadder than the last. It fucking sucks because I like Guenon, a lot of people on this board seem to like Guenon, but 95% of the posts about him here are Guenonfag either samefagging or doing creepy shit like this, spamming 50 threads for a weekend as if that's going to turn people onto a thinker. I really hope this is actually a troll trying to make people HATE Guenon, that would at least be less pathetic and kind of clever.
