Yesterday was better than today, but suck it up because society is collapsing and can start all over again.
Also black people are dumb.
Liam Richardson
Why does he assume there are cycles at play? Was he a fucking hindu?
Austin Thompson
I assume that he got from Oswald Spengler
Landon Peterson
>can start all over again
Like... after we return to the Iron Age as a result of our modernity collapsing into a dark age of perpetual war, disease and famine with no hopes of ever reinstituting industrial society ever again?
Evan Fisher
Start with Guenon.
Tyler Wright
he actually talks about us being in the kali yuga constantly, he's not hindu but he refers to it and other religions/mindsets all the time
Carter Evans
If only
Isaiah Cook
Hey it’s the based Guenon poster... nice
David Gonzalez
It's just a dude ranting about the same things we tend to rant about here. Read it slowly, there's good stuff in those pages.
Grayson Garcia
This book is an easier starting point.
Angel Hernandez
You can still do normie stuff but we're in an age of dissolution so remember that it has no higher purpose
Lincoln Kelly
dunno if u can figure out the riddle of why calaf is morally correct to bang turandot after liu's death you can solve this one I believe in u
Robert Richardson
Powerful.
Dylan Reyes
It's a tough read for anyone; start with one of his more accessible works like Revolt Against the Modern World.
Aaron Allen
Woops.
Logan Harris
The current trajectory of society is toward moral relativism. Instead of resisting, ride the tiger. That is, don't try to fight the tiger because you will lose. Instead, jump on the tiger and ride it as fast as you can to wear it out. Then jump off and kill it. So instead of resisting the slide into moral relativism, we should push it as hard and fast as we can until we come through the other end where there is nothing wrong with rounding up the niggers, Jews, and other undesirables and wiping them out.
Justin Scott
>more accessible works like Revolt Against the Modern World
I see you haven't actually read Revolt Against the Modern World. That book is as esoteric as fuck. You have to be smart, patient and paying attention to actually get any of the really significant points from it.
Brandon Thomas
> Also black people are dumb.
He doesn't say that in the book. In fact he says that there are plenty of spiritual Aryans of other races, and plenty of Germanic people that might as well be Black or Jewish or w/e.
Look up Evola's theory of spirit and soul.
Austin Flores
Also, if you don't understand the book but it down and read the writers he's referencing.
Evola is proudly reactionary, and you need knowledge of the ideologies he's reacting against to make sense of the book.
Brandon Peterson
Caught me. I was just parroting what others consistently have told me.
Personally I started with Men Amongst the Ruins and enjoyed the crap out of it, felt like it read like a solid Sup Forums thread. I'm actually 2/3 through Ride the Tiger right now and definitely found it difficult to make my way through some of his denser critique of certain philosophers and their associated movements. That said everything he's touch upon in more tangible, societal , and spiritual critique has been astounding keen and prophetic. Once I finish this I'll probably check out his book on the Holy Grail.

Chronos Saturn bullshit occultism.
See pic.

LOL!
Ayden Collins
If you don't first start with guenon and also have an understanding on neitzche the this boom will be hard to understand. I'm short the point of the book is we feel like this world and society and completely backwards from everything a society should be. We are traditional spirits born into an antitraditionalist world, perhaps it was a challenge we accepted.
Evan Nguyen
Plenty is a strong word, but agree with his assessment, the spiritual will always Trump the physical realm. There's plenty of pure blood Germanic "Aryans" who act like filthy kikes.
Connor Lopez
Just curious, what are his thoughts on music? did he publish them somewhere?
Bentley Ortiz
This guy gets it.
Juan Torres
There's a section on Music and Negro-Jazz in Ride the Tiger.
I'll give you a hint: he doesn't like.
Colton Wilson
That doesn't surprise me. I wonder what he likes, since most musicians are leftists. The right is good at maintaining order, but it sucks at creativity. Good right-wing artists are Dionysian in their craft, at least in the beginning stages.
Jaxson Price
Do you mind explaining what is meant by the distinction between Dionysian and Apollonian?
I assume it's more than "logic" vs "emotion"
Tyler Gonzalez
I've been saying for a long time that Whites (and everyone) really need to take care of their own traitors first. Cf Codreanu
Aiden Allen
That was the most nonsensical section of the book. It seemed like he had a personal distaste for it which he tried (poorly) to turn into a metaphysical issue.
I agree that some/a lot of art is deliberately degen. But that chapter seemed really out of place -- if anything he should have lauded jazz as an example of creative interpretation done by Differentiated souls.
Christian Phillips
There's the Nietzsche definition and the Evola definition.
I would recommend close-reading those chapters. I think it was some of the best parts of the book, but even I would need to pore over it.
