He's a fucking idiot, even Evola would be disgusted by his abuse of his work

Based Bannon is going to immanentize the eschaton and there's nothing you meatsack plebs can do about it

Bannon is just a normie. That's how normies read this. They read one thing without worrying about being called a pseud, or worrying about how it fits into the overall background tradition. They can typically focus better on it as a result, and they'll walk around for a decade recommending it to people and gaining a reasonable amount of practical wisdom from it.

Veeky Forums cultivates the special kind of autism where you just feel worse the more you know, because you fetishize the "critical mass" point where you know everything (or a reasonable approximation of everything). Normies literally don't have a concept for that. They just encounter the field of possible things to read as an endless one, and they think it's normal and intelligent to pick a few things that strike their eye and master them.

It's a practical way to live. A lot of intelligent Chads do it, people in government, professionals, etc. It's also the bulk of academics and scholars. Most people who want to cloister themselves in meditative seclusion and read the entire Western canon don't emerge on the other end as Walter Benjamin, ready to descend from the mountaintop and obliterate plebs. They just break their will, and probably drop out. The contented high level mediocrities on the other hand, who are willing simply to have a go at something and do their best, without thinking too much about it otherwise, will end up mastering more things relatively more contentedly and making decent scholars. For every titanic literary supergod, there are a thousand failed versions of him that died in the womb by crumbling under the pressure and playing video games for a decade instead, and for every one of those, there are ten thousand proficient dilettantes who will live happy mediocre lives.

The world needs legions of Steve Bannons who can just pick up a book, read it, and apply it to their best ability. He never had any desire for comprehensive mastery and he wouldn't understand the concept if you tried to explain it. Wisdom is just to be picked up and applied.

Well, at least he didn't say it was Tchaikovsky.

*blocks your path*

wish he was my dad tbqh

Are you kidding me? Tchaikovsky wrote one of the most definitive pieces of work on the War of 1812.

>Bannon is an idiot but I'm fine with him because I agree with what he's saying

What a sheep

Daddy Bannon

Biosphere 2 -> far-right climate change denier

1812 Overture is pretty bad, and Tchaikovsky in general wrote shallow and soulless music designed to a western idea of Russian music. He composed some pretty tunes though, granted.

he's a fucking political hipster. basically the guys who were too weird to be actual hipsters so they decided to be the contrarian to the contrarian aka lord of the sheeple.

...

He's the best melodist of the 19th century.

t. Guy who studied his scores accademically and have experienced the full extent of his genius

I don't think the 1812 overture is "bad" per say but it is kind of mediocre when you compare it to some other pieces of the time. I agree Tchaikovsky wasn't really a spectacular composer (especially compared to other Russian composers) but yeah some of his tunes are nice. Nothing especially groundbreaking, but pretty nonetheless.

Friendly reminder that Bannon unironically directed the following:

The Undefeated
imdb.com/title/tt1961604/

Considering he is eleven or some shit and even knows who Dostoevsky is speaks volumes.

>thinks that great people are born exclusively through autistic perfectionist studying of theoretical domains
Kek.

Pleb

Idk what he saw in her. I guess she was just someone, anyone, who held similar beliefs to him and was a politician that had some political pull because of the Tea Party movement. She just had such a bad grasp of foreign policy and was so gaffe prone that it was really hard to take her seriously and see her as anything other than a fool.

>he is eleven
Bannon is eleven? Damn he aged really badly.

>einstein
>tesla
>every great person ever
not that guy but that's exactly how it works are you retarded?

Yes that's correct.

Also
>The Undefeated
>Released in 2011
Was Bannon asleep during the whole 2008 election?

>/pol/tards actually believe this guy is a political mastermind

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

> liberals actually believe this guy is a political mastermind

kek

Didn't he make his fortune off Seinfeld? /pol/tard exploits the Jews to institute a new world order, pretty neat

Yeah, so they say.

You're thinking of Barron Trump.

I've been reading the profiles of Trump's strategists and various GOP money-men. Every one is written to paint them as sinister outsiders who are master manipulators but when I read them I can't help but think these guys are a bunch of idiots LARPing as philosophers and intellectuals. Most are bullies and inflict cruelty on people they know but they also feel they are persecuted and threatened by society, it's pathetic.

i thought it was the other way around. pick your narrative dummy.

I don't think Seinfeld got rich off of Bannon bro

the hilarious part is that the people they are cruel to are the ones supporting them, conjuring up some autistic reasoning about how it's poetic justice it's fucking hilarious. can't wait for the backlash.

>Seinfeld is the only jew
k bud

So, what should we do if we ARE actual intellectuals and philosophers, if pseuds can achieve such positions of power?

Let's say I actually read a lot. Can I pull a Plato and become a philosopher king? Can I get the plebs to hang on my every word?

Is Bannon giving away his fortune to Jews or something? Wtf are you on about?

Are you willing to take part in something as dumb and heinous as Breitbart?
Are you willing to be the king of dumb redneck/edgy teenagers on /pol/ retards?
If that's the case yes, you can do it.

It is (said to be) the other way around. That's what makes Bannon's apparent inversion of the narrative noteworthy.

No, that'd require actual working knowledge and a degree useful outside of academia.

>being this dumb
k bud

Especially how despite being so called "master manipulators" they weren't even able to get that healthcare bill passed despite controlling the house. Apparently when Bannon addressed the Freedom Caucus and told them they had no choice but to vote for the bill, one guy told him off, saying the last time he was ordered to do something was by his dad when he was 18, and he didn't listen to him then. It's not really something that'd you expect from a "master manipulator".

>I have no real response so let's just call him dumb

To be fair, the Freedom Caucus is incredibly stupid as a body, so I can understand trying to manipulate them as being the equivalent of bashing your head against a boulder.

>i'm this dumb so i'm going to say he has no real response

Good point

Bannon didn't even want Ryancare originally though, he wanted to keep Obamacare because he believed that it would literally collapse naturally ensuring the GOP could implement whatever healthcare policy they wanted.

Then why did he get on board?

Your response was that Bannon in fact makes Jews rich rather than vice versa. I guess that's a real response... a real dumb one haha lmao

what's up with people claiming that the failure was strategy?
it seems to be whenever he fails they come up with some autistic LARPy narrative about strategy.

leftypol still buttmad asbout the election, ehh?

Because Ryan has been flattering Trump enough that Trump threw himself into trying to get the bill passed. Bannon, at the end of the day, works for Trump. If Trump's on board, Bannon has to be.

Because that's how politics work? sometimes you've gotta support something you don't necessarily agree with.

see

You guys should look up Claremont Institute if you want to know what the current Avant-garde of conservative thought consists of.

Isn't that sort of Bannon's point there, once you get past the misquoting of Tolstoy? Conservatives have their think tanks and their institutes, but in practice it never winds up working out. Austrian economics is a huge meme, so unless conservatives have moved on from it they're not worth discussing as intellectuals.

>Conservatives have their think tanks and their institutes, but in practice it never winds up working out.

Because conservativism isn't as intellectually strong as Thomist.

Einstein wasn't a reclusive autistic theoretician, you absolute retard. Neither were most great people throughout history. It's an idiotic assumption of local basement dwellers on Veeky Forums and Veeky Forums that mindlessly accumulating knowledge is necessary and sufficient for greatness, whereas in fact neither is true. At least read what you're replying to.

One thing I will say is that Bannon is much better at manipulating the media than actual people. Whenever he says to a reporter something that sounds accurate you should assume he means the opposite. Conservatives are just as absorbed in identity politics as liberals because that's how democracy works. The Democrats also straddle the line between limited government and big government when it's convenient so I don't really agree.

Neither was Tesla. He had a hard time socialising but I think that was more sexually driven. He had regular correspondences and a number of friends.

If you've ever engaged with philosophy, you are a pseud.

Occupation: Thinker.

Here's a good article on Christian Nationalists:salon.com/2006/05/12/goldberg_14/
This was written in 2006 but you can really see how these groups evolved.

Here's one from 2010 linkin Claremont to the anti-gay thoughts espoused by the Christian Nationalists:thenation.com/article/claremont-institute-christine-odonnell-was-taught-abcs-homophobia/

>no actual argument
>le perjection and ur dum kekeke
Why are you even engaging? To demonstrate your mental deficiency?

>they're all Protestants

Of fucking course.

You don't think Catholic Nationalists don't exist?

>i don't know how to read so you have no argument
try harder loser

A lot of this comes from Calvinist thought which was adopted by Protestants more frequently than Catholics (for obvious reasons). There are famous right wing American Catholics but they've fell off the map now that the pope is a gay communist minority and likely a secret follower of Moloch/Muslim.

>mfw libtards will CONTINUE to underestimate Drumpf and Bannon
>mfw in 4 years when Trump has taken over all of north America and assumed ultimate power, libtards will still say he's a fat racist retard

>soood

Thanks for further demonstration.

congrats on being both illiterate and a loser.

The SSPX has exploded in popularity among Catholics and they often go way beyond nationalism, they still espouse Monarchism. Belgium hosts literal Catholic theocrates.

But in America their presence since the Bush and early Obama years has greatly diminished. Now Catholicism is synonymous with hispanics (only Mexicans). I am of course only talking about public presence and popular opinion which has largely been shaped by Pope Francis.

I'm not that guy, but you got blown out. Just saying.

Homeschooling, pro-life, and patriarchy: Quiverfull
>In 1985, homeschooling leader Mary Pride wrote a foundational text for Quiverfull, “The Way Home: Beyond Feminism, Back to Reality.” The book argued that family planning is a slippery slope, creating a “contraceptive mentality” that leads to abortion, and that feminism is incompatible with Christianity. As an antidote, Pride told Christians to reject women’s liberation in exchange for the principles of submissive wifehood and prolific stay-at-home motherhood. The core ideology was a direct contradiction of Roe v. Wade: Women’s bodies and lives did not belong to them, but to God and his plans for Christian revival.

le 3d chess meme

I hate that 3d chess shit the Trump fans push but that guy is right when he says it's just politics. If everyone in your coalition has all the same beliefs then it's not really a coalition.

>per say

>soulless
The only soul that exists in music is that which you've projected on it. To believe otherwise is to be super by marketers.

Doesn't change the fact that he was a remarkable melodist.

Fuck this guy's a genius!

Don't you know Mattis is the real intellectual? He read Marcus Aurelius!

>normies

just stop

bannon pisses off lower middle brow homos that read the nyt and populate third rate liberal arts college. Lit tards think their trivial accumulation of literary facts that they peddle in a purely discursive manner is any different from some boomer fag who memorizes sports trivia about his favorite sports negroes. Here is a hint, Bannon is a man of power and a National bolshevik and he is going to send your gay asses to concentration camps!

>Bannon is a man of power

White House chief strategist Steve Bannon reportedly told conservative members of the House of Representatives that they had “no choice” but to vote for the GOP plan to replace Obamacare, which was drafted by GOP leadership and endorsed by President Donald Trump."
“Guys, look. This is not a discussion. This is not a debate. You have no choice but to vote for this bill,” Bannon reportedly said.

But the members weren’t having it. In reply, one Freedom Caucus member said: “You know, the last time someone ordered me to something, I was 18 years old. And it was my daddy. And I didn’t listen to him, either.”

We know Shariablue, you've told us thrice already.

Yup.

He's like, totally playing 13-dimensional hyperchess bro.

At this point I think the Bannon praise is being manufactured by Democrats to hype the fear. If people realized what morons were running the country they might be angry at the opposition party for losing to those creeps.

Bannon isn't a man of power, and neither is Trump. They're filling spots for 4 years.

leftypol hate hillary more than trump what are you on about?

Hardcore Catholics by definition aren't nationalists, because hardcore Catholics are loyal to the Church above all other things. Hardcore Catholics, honest ones, are transnational theocrats. They'd probably prefer a global government that answered to the Vatican.

Catholicism has never had much of an impact on the US, it's always been second the various Protestant sects. I really don't think if a different pope had been chosen we'd be in the middle of a growing American phalangist movement, or something.

You're right that Catholicism has never had huge influence in American history but Bill Donahue had some sway among the Republicans not too long ago. Even he has totally faded into the background around the time of Pope Francis' start.

What's so pseud about him? The quote actually makes sense in the context he uses it.

The thread seems to have latched onto the fact that the quote comes from Tolstoy, rather than Dostoevsky. I agree that the quote itself is fairly accurately applied to the situation he describes.

When you read a lot of shit it all blends it together. Especially if you're not in school. Mixing two 19th century Russian authors is nothing.

Pseud.

good post desu
