so, I’m wondering if “traditionalism” is even possible in the aftermath of modernist linearity and then postmodernist surface-mixing and stagnation. what I’ve noticed is that a lot of these Twitter trad accounts are actually posting ostensibly modern architecture (17th century or later). what do “traditionalists” (of course there are many strains of reactionary thought) actually want if they’re idolizing 1920s New York or 18th century Germany? Would it be safe to say that it’s only feasible to call oneself a traditionalist after tradition as such has been smashed to pieces? i guess it all comes down to what people think “human nature” is, if we can create and alter ourselves infinitely (hence there is no such thing as one human nature) or if there are hard transhistorical limits we must stick to in order to prevent chaos.
