The reason Cioran is not pussy is because you have to
(1.) Actually live live with conviction and action
(2.) Have those convictions and actions blow up in your face and ruin your life.
(3.) Actually have the balls to admit you were wrong and not double down or cope with your horrible error

Very few genuinely engage in step one, very few take it far enough to ruin themselves, and even fewer have an ego the would permit the admission of failure.

Cioran will never be popular, but many of you will understand him, eventually

Cioran is an internationally renown philosopher, what are you talking about? He's extremley popular even outside philosophy.

I have more respect for a person like Evola and I always will.

No he isn't popular. He wrote in aphorisms so virtue signaling faggots use his quotes or post some edgy memes for upcummies on social media and move on. These are same cunts who will claim "oh I had a peshimism phase but I grew out of it". How many of them have read his books? And how many of them are ready to commit on those radical ideas of radical individualism and infinite resignation? The fact is that those larpers haven't read his books and they don't understand the cosmic pessimism and Philosophy of failure.

Ebola was wannabe Jünger with woo woo shit. Cioran looked up to Jünger and both of them were close friends. I have more respect for the latter two. But I would choose the thundering prophet of pessimism over Evola or Jünger.

What the fuck are you talking about? I'm refering to the academic discourse around Cioran. Any good philosophy program teaches Cioran at some point or another, I'm not talking about 'popular' in a pop culture kind of way.

Doesn't matter, teaching Cioran in academy is disrespectful. And they just touch on such a profound thinker. Fuck those goblins.
