How to Lose Elections and Not Influence People: A Conservative Reader, by Guy Nostalgic for Prior Decades' Liberals

german interwar movement, anon

conservatives don't read, they consume artificially created images of pasts that never existed. modern conservatism is really an outright anti-intellectual movement, it seeks to destroy and discredit the elements of society that promote critical thinking

>>20638033
Yeah they lost and no one cares anymore except people looking to intellectualize the case for non-fascist "right-wing" politics, which trails whatever the "left-wing" politics is doing and has consistently lost to it in the long run, in a kind of Hegelian-esque way wherein the conservatives fight to defend what was progressive years earlier against what is progressive in the present. It's just tapping the breaks and has no real independence. The German Conservatives, what, wanted to bring back the Kaiser? Having the Prussians become rulers of all Germany ex-Austria was quite the liberal development in the 1860s, now wasn't it? Surely there had been conservatives then opposed to that, who wanted to preserve the post-HRE arrangement of the German states. And before that, surely there were conservatives who wanted the Habsburgs to retain the title of Emperor and nominally "rule" the three hundred plus principalities. And so on. Where does it stop? Or is it just an attempt to acquire democratically sanctioned power by appealing to "old thing good new thing bad" instead of "new thing better than old thing"?

>>20638045
You've probably never even heard about Konservative Revolution and it shows. What a fucking pleb.

>>20638000
If you've not read all of Jünger, do it, there's nothing of his that isn't worth reading, especially Eumeswill, which often gets ignored and is imo the best criticism of democracy ever written. Otherwise, the canon is actually right: Spengler and Schmitt are the two other best.

We just had this thread.

don't care didn't ask midwit

>>20638096
can you direct me to it if there was any useful discussion?

>>20638070
>read all of Jünger
will do, is the reading list for him good?
i've only read storm of steel so far

>>20638108
Haven't seen the reading list around here. Eumewsil is my favorite but it's one of the least straightforward 'novel's I've ever read.
The Forest Passage is probably his most important politically.
If you've enjoyed Storms of Steel his war diaries (including Radiations) are also amazing.

>revolution
>moving forward beyond the past
>conservatism
>holding onto the past

Should right wing ideology just be classified as a kind of schizophrenia?

spengler, evola, jünger, heidegger, schmidt, and to an extent, mann, all fall under this list and are all weighty thinkers.

>>20638164
Legitimate concerns around social and political changes are funneled into a release valve of nervous tics and repetitions. It's turned into schizophrenia in order to provide a reinforcing feedback for those who support the changes... after all, if one's opposition appears to be mentally-ill, they're hardly legitimate

>>20638195
You mean retarded thinkers, except for Jünger.

After all, he did the stuff he proclaimed, and that is respectable

>>20638195
Wasn’t Mann just a straight up pro-UN liberal?

>>20638215
assclown

>>20638219
wiki says he was associated with the revolutionary conservatives until 1922

Read dangerous books and beware of coordinated attempts to dissuade you from doing so without reasoned debate.

Read dangerous books and be aware of a coordinated group to dissuade you with shitposting, misrepresentation, and character attacks.

REVOLUTION IS NOT CONSERVATIVE;
IF YOU ARE A REVOLUTIONARY, YOU ARE NOT A CONSERVATIVE

It’s a contradiction in terms.
Conservatives aren’t revolutionary, they’re reactionary. They want a mythical past to come back and stay put. They don’t understand the transitory nature of things and so rect poorly to the changing world. Rational thinking conservatives want merely to slow down the changes and consider them. It makes sense to be conservative on the whole tranny campaign, but it would also make sense to be more environmentally conscious and to not want to rush into wars. But so-called conservatives are usually just liberals, market fundamentalist liberals. Nothing revolutionary about a bunch profiteering assholes

Im sure hoi4 and hormone disruptors are a welcome distraction to what your life could of been.

>>20638734
i actually just seriously engaged with evola and spengler and realized the rest of the list is retarded.

>>20638709
I don’t need anyone to ask me to correct the retards who post their meme ideologies. Go read something.

Junger threads without jungeranon are cringe.

They are out in numbers tonight and have little to contribute but ad-hominen and personal attacks.

beowulf is christian you fucking goober

>>20639325
Beowulf is an older story recorded by Christian monks, much like Arthurian lit. Both had Christian trappings placed upon them, but that does not make it Christian in origin.

Kek, I can imagine these crusty ass academics protesting in front of their universities LARPing as revolutionaries
