Now there's a man who stared into the night of worlds and was able to put into words what he saw. No wonder Isaiah Berlin was so asspained at him.

Joseph of maistres considerations on france revolution. mainly the chapter on violence. Made me realize all the talk of peace was disassociated with reality and that violence is neither good or bad, merely a tool to further a good cause or a bad cause.

Please recommend edgy thinkers that are actually good.

(((Singer))) convinced my normdroid philosophy class to eat a plant-based diet

I knew of his jewish tricks beforehand and I'm not a pleb so he couldn't convince me

De Maistre was metal as fuck.

Nigger, where the hell do you think the whole fallen and apocalyptic imagery came from? Because it sure as fuck wasn't the tree loving, feisty pagans Christian sages were bitching about through the middle ages. The moralization of history is an inherently Judeo-Christian phenomenon.

>it can give me a new found purpose but as a result just utterly destroys me.
Don't see how the former is intrinsically good and the latter samely bad, to be h, my fellow human. We're constantly getting destroyed and regenerating, if you ask me, physically and mentally--we just don't notice because that awareness isn't necessary (and perhaps can even be dangerous) to a living organism.

If you think of all the things your clothes, your food, your house, your computer and so on, used to be, you might get an idea of what ı mean.

No, that's pretty much his whole argument.

"Oh, feeding myself is such a drag, why can't my body magically sustain itself forever?"

"Oh, this cold is so horrible, why aren't humans the only form of life that exist?"

"Oh, kids are so whiny, why do I even get horny?"

You people are getting trolled by your brain. You're surrounded by a huge amount of pleasure so all you can think about is the bad things that will happen eventually; because of course you don't mind having that pleasure. If you could, you would live with only pleasure, so you look how to and finding it is impossible, you desire to resign life, since you wish to avoid pain.

But the truth is that you really don't care about getting rid of others' pain at all, otherwise you would be helping people right now instead of being on 4chan; you only care about your own pain and how sad it's going to make you when your kids cry because they don't have a new toy. But you don't care about the animals killed every day to feed us, about the mountains destroyed to make our houses, about the constantly dying stars, et cetera. Your mind only occupies itself, as it should, on avoiding bad things in the future.

Recommending Guenon, Joseph Campbell, and Evola.

Imperialism and francophilia. Also the ideas about slav utopia, along with Hegel, and the fact that de Maistre was a diplomat there. The latter is actually extremely important, especially for Tolstoy.

>reading de Maistre for anything else than the prose

Traditionalism is the most /lit/ ideology

I think outdid himself. Fate even made it so he didn't sell out and meet Napoleon.

>How useful is his fascist traditionalism today?
Fascist Traditionalism is somewhat of an oxymoron. Evola was highly critical of both Italian Fascism and German National Socialism. I recommend you read his critiques of the two ideologies in 'Fascism Viewed from The Right' and 'Notes on the Third Reich'. They are the only critiques of Fascism from the point of view of a far-right wing Traditionalist Conservative I'm aware of. His critique is based upon both the internal contradictions and inconsistencies of the ideologies and their inability to realise Traditionalist goals.

>Is he considered a legit successor of Nietzsche?
Hardly, although he was heavily inspired by Nietzsche and even wrote a study of his philosophy from a Traditionalist perspective in 'Ride the Tiger'. Like most things he was critical of some of Nietzsche's ideas, but praised others.

>Where do I start with his work?
I'm going to assume you're interested in his politics and not in his studies of Esotericism. I recommend starting with his core trilogy: 'Revolt Against the Modern World' (in which he sets out his political ideology, Traditionalism in plain words, supported by a scholarly examination of Traditionalist civilizations), 'Men Among the Ruins' (in which he expands upon the ideas of Revolt, applying those ideas to post-WWII political trends) and 'Ride the Tiger' (in which he provides a "survival manual" for the Traditionalists of Modernity, and expands further on his Traditionalism in relation to contemporary social trends like the Beat Generation, Surrealism and so forth)
