Whiteheadfags resort to stealing the memes of the proponents of a superior philosopher. The irony of their lack of creativity is lost on them.

>> No.13754213

>>13754172
Evola used to be the edgy meme philosopher, then people actually started reading his works and engaging with him so his meme potential went down. A new figure had to be found. A drugged out occultist who hung around with Crowley and converted to Islam because Catholicism wasn't TRADICAL enough for him is the perfect meme figure: too crazy and stupid to actually take seriously, with enough pictures of him doing silly things to meme about.

Unlike almos all other philosophers, he actually followed his own ideas. It's respectable. Perennialism is also a huge insight, and although it was decently developed only by Elliade, Guenon still deserve credit for showing the way.

Perennialism is silly, no real basis. He was at his best When just critiquing modernity. All in all a flawed human being like all others whose complex ideas can be easily reduced to memes.
