Evola is too closely linked with /pol/ and /pol/ is dumb so pseuds don't want to associate with him as that would give off the impression they are dumb /pol/tards. They go with guenon instead because he's also has greater appeal to those who just want to play with ideas and not be too serious about anything.

There is a growing anti-guenon sect that seems to be mostly people who are actually buttblasted they can't understand him rather than people calling out guenon larping pseuds.

>H. P. Blavatsky, René Guénon and Julius Evola all shared the belief in the Hyperborean, polar origins of Mankind and a subsequent solidification and devolution.[43]

>Rene Guenon in his book The Lord of the World says: Almost every tradition has its name for this mountain, such as the Hindu Meru, the Persian Alborj, and the Montsalvat of Western Grail legend. There is also the Arab mountain Qaf and the Greek Olympus, which has in many ways the same significance. This consists of a region that, like the Terrestrial Paradise, has become inaccessible to ordinary humanity, and that is beyond the reach of those cataclysms which upset the human world at the end of certain cyclic periods. This region is the authentic ‘supreme country’ which, according to certain Vedic and Avestan texts, was originally sited towards the North Pole, even in the literal sense of the word. Although it may change its localisation according to the different phases of human history, it still remains polar in a symbolic sense because essentially it represents the fixed axis around which everything revolves.

Why are Guenon fanatics irked by the fact that their idol was an inspiration for Naziboos for generations to come? Its so amusing seeing their cognitive dissonance in action

What is their to understand? That there's some pattern behind spooky religio-metaphysical claims throughout history? because that isn't hard to grasp, he is just one of many authors of history making similar claims in similar fashion. But what sets him apart is the fact that he is somehow 'above' criticism because according to his online fans, if one doesn't read him they can't critique him (which is a fallacy) and if one does read him his critique is unfounded because they just don't 'get it'. Do you not see the cult like mentally you refuse to acknowledge? Do you not see how unironic responses like >>13183605 >>13183642 are reaffirming the theory that there is a concerted effort to proselytiz Guenon on this board? Perhaps the 'anti-guenon' sect is just people who are sick of seeing cringey pro-guenon meme threads everyday.

you must have missed past threads of people who've read him critiquing his insane ideas and just being countered with 'you just can't grasp him you have to be open minded etc.'

How to spot Guenonfag

>walls of texts replying to multiple quotes
>freaks out when he's directly refuted
>saying 'based' or 'this' to his own posts
>uses words like 'BTFO' and 'COPE' frequently
>posts cringe memes in an attempt to dog pile his critics
>conflates criticism of him with attacks on his author
>'just read him bro, only pseuds don't read him'
>tries to reverse accusations, 'b-but the one who made that infographic is actually the real schizo lmao' etc
>often makes logical fallacies/brain farts trying to shill his cult author but continues shitposting to avert attention
>praises pajeets and condemns 'pol-tier racism' (ironic considering he promotes a white man as the central authority of indian philosophy)

Who is Guenonfag?

Once upon a time there was a little anon who stumbled upon a book from an obscure French Muslim author (Abdul Al-Wahid Yahya, formerly known as Rene Guenon). He had never read any substantial works of any author, never started with the Greeks, and was never really introspective into metaphysical matters.

But on that day, his life was transformed. So enamored with his first and only foray into the esoteric arts, he took it upon himself to spread the word of Guenon and preach perennialism (which is basically just advaita for incels) to the four channels of the net. In an effort to unite trad minded folk, he created 'Traditionalism general' for peeps to discuss authors such as Guenon, Evola, Coomaraswamy, Schuon etc.

The discussion was initially fruitful and healthy. That was until he was *gasp* -criticized- by a supposed 'theosophy/kantian shill'. He couldn't understand this feeling for which he had never felt before. He thought to himself 'could Guenon's infinite wisdom be imperfect? Could he really have derived his framework from the German idealists?'. 'No', he uttered. It's the others who are wrong (of course). He lashed out and attacked the 'Theosophy shill' relentlessly. Several shitposters then went in to bait him. Each consecutive thread resulted in constant sperg outs, alienating the casual traditionalists that partook in those threads (including evolists, sufiists and neoplatonists). Soon he turned on the Evolists and basically anyone who looked at him funny. His momentary freak outs were so common it spilled out into other threads. The moderators eventually decided to delete traditionalism general threads, which resulted in the so called 'Trad Exodus'.

He would later try to revive trad generals by disguising it as 'eastern general', only to resort to samefagging once he realized the old trad posters had gone. He has since continued the shill job in virtually every thread to do with eastern philosophy and eastern religious discussion often making a fool of himself. His random freakouts still happen from time to time, often culminating in multi-thread shitposting.

This is the story of Guenonfag, the one responsible for the destruction of traditionalism in this board.

Those are either inside jokes aimed at fellow students of Guenon (most of these jokes extremely funny but which require a high IQ and extensive knowledge of Metaphysics) or are bait for the anti-Guenon autists, which they always hilariously fall for. Basically everyone and everything even remotely connected with Guenon and his ideas is based and always wins.
