How can one man be so based?

I've read him all his spiritual nonsense, all his Hogwarts bullshit and all his holier than thou rhetoric.
He is bad. You disagree? Make a case for it. Make a good, long, two part post why he is worth reading.

If not, fuck off. You can spam one liners on /pol/.

>le Hogwarts bullshit XDdd
>do you disagree with my meme argument? Make an effortpost telling me why I'm wrong

Fuck outta here

>start bullshit thread with no arguments
>get meme'd on
>get mad

Make a fucking argument and you will get responses.

Yeah man Lovecraft is dank

I love how /pol/fags never have any response other than incoherent rage to the spookbuster.

>can't just post about a thinker, have to randomly post arguments in case Barry the barista doesn't approve

Don't forget the caramel drizzle bitch

...

Can anyone in this thread say something about about Julius Evola and his work who's actually read it? Literally non of you have talked about any of his ideas and are just memeing.

True dat

>being such a stupid fucking meme kiddie you don't even know Evola and stirner fundamentally agree on the primacy of the Self

Veeky Forums was a mistake

Yes, but they fundamentally disagree on everything else.

I've read him extensively. I don't give a shit about his politics, just his metaphysics. His idea of the human organism as being conditioned by biology yet still possessing an absolutely free self-determination proportional to one's awareness as a conditioned being is true

You googled a name you read online, took a picture, made a thread "WOW SO BASED" and then policed it by insulting people who disagree.
You are a fucking moron and don't deserve my time, but I'll just inform the other posters who Evola is, and what he believed and wrote about.

Basically his theory is that from the Arctic Hyberborea in the north came the nordic aryan people, white of skin and with soft bones. They were spiritually superior to all people and thus possessed magic abilities. They founded Atlantis, and from there spread culture west and east, to form what we consider the first civilization. However they mixed with the locals, and because the locals had inferior blood and genes, the magic abilities were lost. So now it is up to the descendants of these northern wizards to start cleaning up the blood again and achieve the spiritual superiority that allowed for magic to exist, and raise Atlantis again.

this can;t be literal

Oh, I forgot that the pure white people were partially immaterial, unlike modern dirty humans, tainted by southern blood.

I've read him. Nice wiki summary dipshit, the path of traditionalist is an individual one. Nowhere does he exhort his reader to revive "Atlantis" lmao. His system is first and foremost one of self-determination and signification, not the proselytization of an ideology or a waxing nostalgic for better times

sounds like the kind of things you hear when you watch the triple digit TV channels where they have people using crystal balls to tell you your future and fortune

Evola was Sicilian though. Why would he believe in a Nordist theory such as that when he was from one of the least Nordic looking countries of Europe?

>I've read him.

Then give short and simple answers to the following questions, a yes/no would suffice.

>did the whites came from the north pole?
>were they partially immaterial?
>did they have magical abilities?
>did they found atlantis?
>were they tainted by southern blood to lose their magical ability and become material?

If you've read him, you should be able to answer these, and I am sure any other posters who haven't read him will conclude not to bother.

hate that pic, stirner would never, if he would live in modern times, wear something like this. fashion = spook

>being this mad you cant understand evola

>the path of traditionalist is an individual one.
explain

Because he believed that even though he was tainted by southern blood, like all modern humans are, there was in him a piece of the northern white men, and through spiritual exercise he can achieve this partially immaterial state and regain control of white people magic.

I can't help but notice you didn't answer the questions, and conclude that you are ashamed of the answers.

fucking shithead idiot, lul

I think the point of the stylized outfit is to channel Kamina, particularly the glasses.

>ashamed
you have answered them and i do not disagree?
you are still missing the fundamental point of his mysticism

You still only half-say it. Go ahead and admit, so that other people reading the thread can see it.
Evola though immaterial white people from the north came south, founded Atlantis with their magic, and then were race mixed into being normal humans. Europeans thus should meditate and perform magic rituals to regain their immaterial state.
Go on. You should write it down, if you agree with it, rather than subtly admitting it.

>whites
>trying to make Evola some racialist bogeyman so all your fellow baristas can cheer you on
>not realizing Evola has only ever talked about one thing and one thing only: spiritual capacity, and not profane us vs. them playground bullshit

Your "whites" were individuals whose primary orientation was upwards-oriented: an overcoming of human biological conditioning and the cyclical processes of Becoming that characterize the ephemerality existence and are inherent to suffering. Magic is and only ever has been self-mastery, the fruits of self-overcoming. Atlantis is just a name for a civilization that was composed of individuals of this caliber. The "dirty" blood of lower races is such because it is dominated by natural forces, instead of overcoming them.

mad as fuck

Evola is a self proclaimed racist, and he was vocal about it. He critiqued people who said he wasn't racist.
Though he wouldn't have said "white", he would've said "northern scandinavian more-than-humans" instead.

Ashamed of your hero being a loony?
I half think now that you never did read him, and this is the first time you actually understand what that retard stood for.

him being a loony is why i like him
you seem to be talking about why you dont like him

Your understanding of his metaphysics is tumblr-tier. In fact, he loathed the cult of biological race and felt it distracted from man's true destiny as a spiritual being. He also had a lot of respect for Kabbalah.

If you actually read him to understand him instead of to just ridicule his thought you'd have understood that.

Thanks for confirming you were just shallow memebaby the whole time faggot

If you like him so much, why cant you openly agree with him and continue to dodge the question?

Since this is the meme-general which IRL philosopher is the most like Vivec?

where have i disagreed with him? :)

Where have you straight up agreed with his northern ghost wizards building Atlantis views?

Stirner is probably the most based Communist philosopher.

>he's not egalitarian so he's wrong

lol kill yourself millenialcuck

More like anarchist.

>strawmanning this hard

epic

where have i not?

Answer, with yes or no, if you agree with these:

>did the whites came from the north pole?
>were they partially immaterial?
>did they have magical abilities?
>did they found atlantis?
>were they tainted by southern blood to lose their magical ability and become material?

ok

I just explained how your understanding of these topics is meme-tier. You're trying so hard to phrase his views in haha look at this wacky man XD without any understanding of what he's trying to communicate

You are reading Evola like people read Nostradamus, using hindsight and rationalization to make him appear reasonable. Or like some people read the Bible, and claim there are bits in there about airplanes, traveling to the stars, the Twin Towers collapsing and so on.
If he was alive today, besides you, he'd be mad with your understanding of his word.

>my interpretation of him is right, yours is wrong because I don't think it's right

Oh god just stop. Just admit you didn't understand what you read, it's okay user

he was wacky though, pol-tier beliefs
what more can be said has been said

you sound pretty memed up, honestly

>meme tier
This is the tenth time we have had this thread, and we have become exceedingly efficient at it. Ride your tiger out of here.

>>>/guenon/
>>>/mt. meru/
>>>/thule/

My interpretation of Evola:
>when he said X, he meant X, even though X is pretty dumb
Your interpretation of Evola:
>when he said X, he meant Y and Z, because those seem more reasonable in 2016 with my hindsight and knowledge

You are reading it like people read through the Bible to find bits about the internet and alien invasions, as I said.
Just read the word and stop trying to rationalize it, speculating like a lunatic.

Trying to implement some utopian political solution never works, and they only ever are reactions to the unsatisfactory deep principles of reality anyway, which can only be overcome vertically in the Self and not in the external, horizontal material world

He literally explains what he means by those concepts in the very same work you supposedly read you stupid fucking faggot

He literally thinks elves came from the North Pole to raise an island from the sea with magic. Stop rationalizing for him. Read his book, without auto-correcting everything to appear reasonable.

where does tradition come into that

Putting aside the /pol/ boogeyman for a minute, has anyone else noticed a massive increase in fashy-esoteric posters recently or is it just me? It's even worse than the Randposting that got going on Veeky Forums in 2012.

Do you even magical idealism?

its the future my man rationality can only go so far

Hahaha OK you haven't read him, you're not interested in having an actual discussion, fuck off

The principles of Tradition are exactly these principles of self-overcoming and transcending one's inferior nature

>/pol/ boogeyman for a minute, has anyone noticed the /pol/ boogeymen visits us more often

Hmmmm, really makes you think, huh?

>implying the average /pol/ack has the attention span to read The Arctic Home In The Vedas

none of those posters are not pol

any time you see a poster that likes that kind of thing they also like pol and browse it

as a side note, it's a little funny how they turned on libertarianism

Ya it is not like /pol/ loves Evola ... OH WAIT

most of them are proles with no understanding of evola at all
collectively he is just know as le tradition man

A board so obsessed with the "logic" of it arguments and disregard of arguments they recognize as "emotional" can be nothing but fundamentally opposed to Evolas position

>stop rationalizing an authors viewpoints by actually understanding them, I can't rant about muh ideological bogeyman that way

The level of discourse on Veeky Forums, folks

You are "understanding him" by deducing that what he meant is the opposite of what he wrote.

>tfw you will never believe all this esoteric stuff
>tfw you will never be the guy who runs the shop that sells dream-catchers and whale-call CD's where middle-aged women go to buy healing crystals and teenage potheads go to buy incense.

>A board so obsessed with the "logic" of it arguments
lmao lmao

they are though? i was in no way implying their arguments are logical you autist

thats what you keep doing faggot

Evola had massive disdain for modern degenerate "spirituality" nonsense, just sayin.

No, I'm explaining his concepts. As he has presented them in his own works. Which are symbolism, ideas for communicating universal facts of experience, such as the conditioned and ephemeral nature of existence.

You insufferable faggot.

When he wrote that non-humans came from the north, you are rationalizing that humans came from the north. That is the opposite of what he wrote.
When he wrote that they came from some imaginary place north of Scandinavia, you are deducing those were germanics from northern Germany, Denmark, maybe southern Scandinavia. Thats the opposite of what he wrote.

You are making shit up, because what he wrote is so stupid you can't even assume he meant it.

Evola's good if you're the type of person that wants to live in a hemp cabin in the desert with a goat and a woman named flowerpot. For sane people he's absolute trash.

>sane people

Getting a bit spooky there

why do you keep posting the same fucking thing instead of replying to arguments presented in posts such as

how can one man contain such autism?

I did respond to these "arguments". Stop reading Evola like lunatics read the bible to find secret passages.
I didn't respond to each one of your repetitive posts, since the response is the same every time. Seeing how I am not paid to school you, I'd rather not repeat everything several times.

>For sane people he's absolute trash.
You mean smart people

???? none of those posts are mine
>I did respond to these "arguments". Stop reading Evola like lunatics read the bible to find secret passages

He is a mystic author you read him like other mystics, what dont you understand???

It's how he explains those concepts.

In the very same book you supposedly read.

The first like hundred pages is him explaining exactly what he means by Tradition, solarity, transcendence etc.

For the like the 7th time, we're not interpreting his system, we're explaining his system as he presented it in his own words.

Lol you expect us to believe you read revolt against the modern when you can't even recognize the basic premises his philosophy is founded on?

not him, but interested, what is Tradition with capital 'T' apparently

>Spooks
>Bad

They demonstrably are

Here, an example:

youtube.com/watch?v=8d1ibtOVImg

The set of principles, attitudes, and practices that are conducive to a transcendental orientation towards life, ie towards that which is More than life, the unconditional primordial state that is the ground of the manifestation

so most traditions have actually been wrong?

Anything that distracts man from transcendence/Being and expends his energies in the sensible material world - the transitory world of death and desire - is "wrong", insofar as it ties men down in the cyclical and ultimately meaningless nature of Becoming

does that mean man shouldn't be having kids, is that a distraction according to him

Nothing is inherently any label, actually. Dualisms are cancer. There's only cause and effect. It's a process as objective as gravity. Existence sorts itself out, though that doesn't mean there isn't an objective cost for an objective action. If you can have kids and still maintain a transcendent praxis, go for it.

How can you read "the non-humans came from the north, they were immaterial and had magic" and come to the conclusion that he meant anything other than "please i am crazy help me".

but i thought you were supposed to revel in spooks that appealed to you

>argue with me about this author I've never read and don't plan on reading

Fuck off

>i won't answer your simple question and will instead insult and dismiss you

I accept your surrender.

He already answered you here but you just kind of ignored it

low iq prole

That isn't what he says though. His whole deal was piecing together bits of mythology in order to find transcendent metaphysical principles that underlie the myths. He never claimed that he believed in a literal Atlantis or any of that shit, he was agnostic about whether the myths corresponded to a concrete literal points in history or not. What he cared about was abstracting out a unified metaphysics and spiritual practice from the Indo-European mythology so to apply to our current situation. He lays this out right at the beginning of " Revolt Against the Modern World", if you had actually read Evola you would know this.

that painting sucks
