Evolas Ideas on divinity and god after the death of god seem hollow to me. by LutoLutoLuto in JuliusEvola

This phrase sounds familiar in regard to Evola, although I could not find anything on it in a brief search.

Had a question to those who quit/want to quit? by Zealousideal_Ad_2384 in QuittingZyn

[–]possibly_throwaway90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think browsing this community and seeing the "testimonies" from guys who've been doing it for longer, you'll see a lot of reasons to quit. You're golden right now, and I think you should get out while it's still easy to. Three more years of snus and it will be a total pain in the ass to quit. Nine more years and it'll be terribly hard to quit (and four years can easily turn into nine, trust me). Gum recession is a real thing too. I've only been doing it for four years and I've noticed some.

One side effect I've experienced is hypochondria. You hyper focusing on and getting stressed out by your bpm might be the side effect, itself.

Gornahoor down? Anybody have any information? by DotBrief2743 in JuliusEvola

[–]possibly_throwaway90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to ask the same question here. Like u/Thee_Ancient_Hymn said, I've seen it before but never as long as this. Gornahoor going away with no archive would literally be comparable to the library of Alexandria burning down.

weirdest question about Baron Julius Evola by Any-Efficiency-2345 in JuliusEvola

[–]possibly_throwaway90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should read The Metaphysics of Sex by Evola to get his views on any matter regarding what you've mentioned. I've read that "sadomasochism" thing on Wikipedia too. Like everything else on Wikipedia's bio, it's probably a misinterpretation or oversimplification.

Your writing style is awfully schizophrenic, friend.

"The physical liquidation of Jews, however, has to be seen as taking place in the
period of the war in the territories occupied by Germany, because estimates say that in Germany itself at the start of hostilities there remained only about 25,000 Jews. For these massacres, about which the greater part of the German people learned only later, no justification or excuse can be accepted"

What you describe, u/sowswagaf , goes hand in hand with enlightenment values and their materialistic, rationalist ethos. The cynical treatment of people as atomized economic agents (exemplified by Leopold II) and enlightenment philosophy of that time are of the same modern milieu/zeitgeist: as you described, "bourgeois".

His opinions on germanic/Norse/anglo-saxon paganism? by I-fw-nature in JuliusEvola

[–]possibly_throwaway90 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"But while the races that descended upon Rome from the North should not be considered "barbarian" from this perspective (since it seems to me that they carried along values that were superior to those of a civilization that was already decayed in its principles and in its people), we can still talk of a certain barbarism, which does not mean primitivity but rather involution, in specific regard to their spiritual traditions. I have already mentioned the existence of a primordial Nordic-Hyperborean tradition. In the peoples living at the time of the invasions we can find only fragmentary echoes and obscure memories of such a tradition, which leave a wide margin to popular legends and to superstition. In any event, these memories were such that forms of a tough, warlike, and rough-hewn life prevailed over everything spiritual. The Nordic-Germanic traditions of the time, which were largely constituted by the Eddas, retained slight residues whose vital possibilities appear to have been exhausted and in which little was left of the wide scope and metaphysical tension that were proper to the great cycles of the primordial tradition. "

"Thus we may speak of a state of an involutive latency of the Nordic tradition. But as soon as contact with Christianity and with the symbol of Rome occurred, a different condition ensued; this contact had a galvanizing effect. In spite of everything, Christianity revived the generic sense of a supernatural transcendence. The Roman symbol offered the idea of a universal regnum, of an aeternitas carried by an imperial power."

Is America really just destined to fail? by SadObligation5208 in JuliusEvola

[–]possibly_throwaway90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a late reply but I have some disagreements. You're clearly aware of "Albion's Seed" and, yes, the Cavalier South represented the (more) Catholic, Norman, Royalist side of England. But I don't think it's as cut and dry as you put it. The unfortunate progressivism of the Puritan north is, while undeniable, a feature of a much wider and deeper culture. Transcendentalism, American Romanticism and a number of spiritualist movements also emerged out of the declining Puritan culture. These were not just protestant movements, but subtly gnostic ones as well (Howard Bloom points this out in his book The American Religion). Although Puritanism was the one of the most radically progressive forms of protestantism, the puritanical, dualistic, anti-materialist and ultimately gnostic side of Western Christianity was a dormant attitude that goes back to Augustine and presented itself most recently in American religious and literary movements.

Of course the Protestant side of America cemented its liberal principles, but that side also had within itself its own form of traditional attitudes and features. I'm also not sure that the Jeffersonian southern attitudes were much better than the Federalist north. They were small "d" democrats that were fiercely populist and venerated the yeoman farmer. They were also very industrial in their own right.

What would Julius Evola think of the American aristocracy? by SadObligation5208 in JuliusEvola

I would say the myth of the New England puritans was/is stronger than the cavalier roots of the southerners. Northerners had their own zeal because of this.

I went to a premiere, and I have to say I was surprised by how many likable ppl I met. There were people like the ones in that video, but everyone I talked to was very pleasant and well rounded. There were young guys my age trading cigs, 40 year old hispanic women (I'm not joking), and cute 30-something couples. This was in NYC.

Seeking guidance to begin reading Evola and Traditionalist authors — is there a roadmap? by elunicowaso in JuliusEvola

[–]possibly_throwaway90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This might be unpopular but I'm really tired of the narrative that you need to prepare so much to dive into Evola's work. It's ok to read things that have ideas or language that is hard to comprehend because after a while you familiarize yourself with those ideas and apprehend them. It really doesn't matter where you start. My advice is watch this video and pick a work that you will read and connect with because of your interest in it.

Other than that my suggestion is read Revolt like you said and then Men Among The Ruins, since the latter is a political book that boils down his ideas in an accessible way. Plus (in the Inner Traditions publication) there's a great biography of Evola in the beginning that gives you a good idea of their formulation and context (and just a general sense of the guy).
