Another obvious aspect of American primitivism concerns the concept of “bigness.” Werner Sombart has successfully put his finger on it in saying that “they mistake bigness for greatness.” Now, this trait is not found in all non-European peoples or peoples of color. For example, an authentic Arab of the old race, a redskin, an East Asian are not overly impressed by merely material, quantitative, ostentatious size, including that related to machinery, technology and the economy (apart, of course, from already Europeanized individuals). It is a trait found only in truly primitive and childish races like the Negro. It is no exaggeration to assert that the foolish pride of Americans in spectacular “bigness,” in the “achievements” of their civilization, reek of the Negro psyche.

Here, we ought to mention the oft-repeated nonsense about Americans being a “young race,” with the tacit corollary that they are the race of the future. It is true that a myopic gaze easily mistakes regressive infantilism for true youth. Strictly speaking, according to the traditional conception, this perspective must be inverted. Despite appearances, recent peoples, since they came last, are the most removed from their origins, and as such must be considered to be the most senile and decadent peoples. This view, moreover, corresponds to the organic world.[4]. It explains how paradoxically, the similarities of supposedly “young” peoples, in the above sense of late-comers, with genuinely primitive races that have remained outside of world history, and explains the taste for primitivism and the return to primitivism. We have already remarked upon the American predilection, from an elective affinity, for Negro and sub-tropical music; but the same phenomenon is apparent in other domains of more recent culture and art. We could consider, for example, the glorification of “négritude” by existentialists, intellectuals, and “progressive” artists in France.

It follows that Europeans, including the imitators of the higher non-European civilizations, demonstrate, in turn, the same primitive and provincial mentality when they admire America, when they let themselves be impressed by America, when they stupidly allow themselves to be Americanized and enthusiastically believe that this means catching up with the march of progress, and that it is a sign of being liberated and open-minded.

Robin Deangelo is an Italian supremacist who's secretly an Evolian. Her goal is to harden Whites, to stop making them cucks, to stop making them "fragile." The whole book is a bait and switch, if you had eyes you'd see it. She's so dang good that she fools pretty much everyone.

For now we must set aside such allusions to a higher dimension οί experience οί a liberated world in order to define more precisely what such a vision οί existence offers us in realistic terms. It is, in fact, the principle of purely being oneself. This is what remains after the elimination οf what philosophy calls "heteronomous morality," or morality based οn
an external law or command. Nietzsche said this about it: "They call you destroyers οί morality, but you are οnly the discoverers οf yourselves";l and also: "We must liberate ourselves from morality so that
we can live morally."
By the latter phrase, he means living according to one's own law, the law defined by one's own nature. (This may result in
the way οί the superman, but only as a very special case.) This is οη the same lines as the "autonomous morality" οf Kant's categorical imperative, but with the difference that the command is absolutely internal, separate from any external mover, and is not based
οn a hypothetical law extracted from practical reason that is valid for all and revealed to man's conscience as such, but rather to one's own specific being.

Nietzsche himself often presented these issues as though they were equivalent to naturalism. One frequently finds in him the simplistically
physiological and materialistic interpretation οί human nature, but it is basically inauthentic, accessory, and prompted by his well-known
polemic against "pure spirit." ln fact, Nietzsche saw deeper than that, and did not stop at the physical being when he spoke οf the "greater
reason" contained ίn the body and opposed t0 the lesser reason: that which "does not say Ι, but is Ι," and which uses the "spirit" and even
the senses as "little tools and toys." It is a "powerful lord, an unknown sage that is called oneself (Selbst}," "the guiding thread οf the Ι that suggests all its ideas to it," which "looks with the eyes οf the senses and listens with the ears οf the spirit." He is not speaking here οf the physical but οf "being" in the full ontological significance οf the word. The
term he uses, das Selbst, can also be rendered by "the Self" as opposed
to the Ι (Ich): an opposition that recalls that οf the traditional doctrines already mentioned between the supra-individual principle οf the person and that which they call the "physical Ι"

What's its significance?
Evola seems to grapple onto it without highlighting at any length what it means. Is it just a verbal affirmation of the hero's strive towards enlightenment, or proof that he is the one that will fulfil his end of the quest with the Wounded/Fisher King?

Reccomendations on other Grail analyses/Arthurian critiques would be greatly appreciated

>wrong, like all religions
What did you fucking say to me?

What would he think about the Internet Meme/Redpill Wars and Culture from our side?

I'd reckon he probably thinks they are a good thing. But that they induce a sort of horrible acceleration that puts too much information in the hands of incompetent plebians, depressing and exhausting any of their ambitions. Perhaps the redpilling of a few is a very good thing but the internet in the hands of the general populous is the utmost danger for the reason I listed above.

Thoughts?

That's because the abrahamic Gods are very shitty explanations of the Gods.

Fuck it, mask off

Theres also Paganism, Hinduism, and Buddhism which very well describe the processes of reality and the human role within it.

Modern science worships the contingent, Religion worships the eternal. This is why both are necessary for civilization

Kind of developed an interest in researching the far right this summer and came across this guy. A very fascinating man, especially his spiritual and esoteric beliefs. I was surprised someone of his political beliefs consumed psychedelics.

I'm interested in reading some of his literature before I do that however I'd to find someplace where I can find out more information on his life that isn't wikipedia or a wignat website.

Any ideas?
