“In an egalitarian and democraticised society (in the broader sense of the term); in a society in which there are no longer any casts, functional organic classes or Orders; in a society in which ‘culture’ is standardised, extrinsic, utilitarian, and tradition is no longer a living, forming force; in a society in which Pindar’s ‘be thyself’ has become but a meaningless phrase;19 in a society in which character amounts to a luxury that only fools can afford, whereas inner weakness is the norm; in a society, finally, in which whatever lies above racial, ethnic and national difference has been replaced by what effectively lies below all this and which, therefore, has a shapeless and hybrid character—in such a society, forces are at work that in the long run are bound to influence the very constitution of individuals, thus affecting everything typical and differentiated, even in the psycho-physical field.”

Wasn't it interesting how in that YT interview Evola cucked out when he was asked about the fascists, talking about how he doesn't endorse their hostility to democracy and he is not a racist because he believes in an aristocracy of spirit? Talking about inner weakness, yet he doesn't have the guts to defend his positions.

??? He was always more anti democratic than the fascists, and never held scientific racist views and always viewed hierarchies as existing on a spiritual, not physical, axis
Link me this interview

>whereas inner weakness is the norm; in a society, finally, in which whatever lies above racial, ethnic and national difference has been replaced by what effectively lies below all this and which, therefore, has a shapeless and hybrid character—
Evola is dumb but managed to fall even lower.
