The Sick, The Weird, and The Democratic
The Revolt Against the Modern World
Julius Evola
Inner Traditions International
The Germanic populations - just like the Goths, the Longobards, the Burgundians and the Franks - were looked down upon as barbarians by that decadent “civilization” that had been reduced to juridical administrative structure and that had degenerated into “Aphrodisiac” forms of hedonistic urban refinement, intellectualism, aestheticism, and cosmopolitan dissolution. And yet in their coarse and unsophisticated forms of their customs one could find the… principles of honor, faithfulness, and pride. It was precisely this “barbaric” element that represented a vital force, the lack of which had been one of the main causes of Roman and Byzantine decadence.
How can one describe Evola’s The Revolt Against the Modern World, is it a radical reinterpretation of History or is it a metaphysical survey of the last 4000 years? Though Evola’s work is centered on the European experience it extends also into Indian and Chinese thought.
In a chapter I found interesting, Evola laments the decline of the Middle Ages and the imperial rule of the Holy Roman Empire which gave nobility and traditional meaning to otherwise Levantine lunar cult.
the fact that Europe was able to incorporate so many motifs that were connected with the Jewish and Levantine view of life has always been a source of surprise to historians. ...the Christian faith represented an obstacle that deprived Western man of the possibility of integrating his authentic way of being
The Germanic chivalry hidden beneath a Levantine veneer gave life to Christianity.
...in chivalry we can distinctly see the extent to which the fundamental themes of early Christianity had been overcome… chivalry upheld without substantial alterations an Aryan ethic: 1) upholding the ideal of the hero rather than the saint, and of the conqueror rather than the martyr; (2) regarding faithfulness and honor, rather than caritas and humbleness, as the highest virtues; (3) regarding cowardice and dishonor, rather than sin, as the worst possible evil.
A quick survey of contemporary Christianity reveals the Germanic element of virtue and manliness has been erased, all that remains is rotting shell, which the sick, weird, and the democratic use as a footstool.

I wonder if an non-European ethnic group was behind this. If so, they ought to be punished severely.

If Evola’s visions of fascism were followed without Mussolini and Hitler morphing it into totalitarianism, Islam(or any other alien force) would not be able to touch us.The enlightenment and all the self-sacrifice/liberalism it deemed as virtuous is not a good thing, it is killing us.Evola’s Traditionalism is not ‘back to the cave’, it is back to having testicles.
If the extent of our culture is building skyscrapers,’spreading democracy’ and mocking the tribalism and ‘backwardness’ of others, it’s little wonder we are being replaced so easily.If you ask anyone from the modern day ‘left’ or ‘right’, it seems our sole purpose as a people is to build ‘modern’ societies so we can import aliens and teach them how to be weak like us.Then we complain when they resist it.

AD,
Have you read much of Evola? I’ve been reading a few chapters of RATMW and am fascinated by his ideas and perspectives.
Reading about him I see others too are equally interested.
Have you heard of a person named Dr. Alexander Jacob? He’s written a number of books, but I’ve only read this one: http://www.univpress.com/ISBN/0761829121 The Scorpian has published a few articles which you can also read for free. (Linked in the original post).
These two books by Jacob are also on my list:
“Edgar Julius Jung’s The Rule of the Inferiour” and “Nobilitas: A Study of European Aristocratic Philosophy from Ancient Greece to the Early Twentieth Century”
I discovered an interview with Alexander Jacob, (mp3) here, but the interviewer interrupts so much the flow is disturbed - though a few interesting nuggets.

Concerning the sex-slave trade masquerading as a massage parlour.
“I wonder if an non-European ethnic group was behind this. If so, they ought to be punished severely.”
- Geoff Beck
And if they were an European ethnic group..? The article did state she was from Brierley Hill.
I hope your answer remains ‘punished severely’ if it was discovered that they were all of European origin. But your inclination to the belief that they might be non-white is just plain whack.
It sounds like the words of one of those white supremist types. Those who see evil in everyone and everything not like them. But don’t worry - the devil has a nice place reserved for racists. And for those who have the skin of white, well when it burns on the embers of brimstone for eternity, your white pride burnt away and replaced with a crisp, burnt, blackened crust, revealing your own fear.

Geoff and Ad, on the web address above I posted, in the topic catagory in the left column, look for “Bag of worms yet words” sub heading, this Bloke has an exellent grasp of reality and expresses it well.
Your links above , like many philosophies are re hacks of Utopian ideology, and an attempt to corrilate some aspects of your beliefs to some written words, that’s what I meant by looking through the tree line and see what hides behind it, not just look at the leafs, the hidden enemy is where you can not see him if you do not look for him. That sounded like B S, but you get the picture.
Good one Liberal Larry reality denier, you could have made a more constructive contribution instead of a cheap shot,a Definition of RACE in your view, that would be more helpful.

If they are European, hang them by the neck until dead.
If they are non-European, cut their fingers off with a rusty knife then hang them by the neck. Then I would begin mass deportations of the tribe they belong too. Europe is the home of Europeans not other types. And I take special offense when I see other tribes trafficking my type of people, especially in their own homelands.
Though, now that I think about it… I would begin mass deportations anyway, the presence of foriegners ALONE is justifiable cause to deport them.
Don’t like my answer - go complain to the ADL.
