He's Italian!! Fecken hell, they really enjoyed shafting/colonizing parts of North Africa (poor ole Ethiopia) in his time.
A bit like other Imperialists fecking Korea & Vietnam
Yer man Boden's right though, No warrior invasion is complete without it's religions.

That the sort of thing has us where we are today.

What do you take from the Vid?

 

[Professor]

So, upon closer examination (an interesting character, worthy of study) this pops up . . .
(@AN2 might find this of Interest)

. . . Evola wrote of "inferior, non-European races".[113] He believed that military aggressions such as Fascist Italy's 1935 invasion of Ethiopia were justified by Italy's dominance, outweighing concerns he had about the possibility of race-mixing.

That sounds like white supremacy to me (what @Mods vs Roc_ers, the fake news media et al. have rebranded white nationalism)

Google Search

I am not a white supremacist

You should actually read Evola's books, not just watch some ghastly video that doesn't explain anything.

I've read Men Among the Ruins which is his manifesto for post-war, neo-fascist movements & I've also ordered Eros and the Mysteries of Love but it won't be here until January.

I tried reading his Introduction to Magic Vol. I but was filtered by it. He was also a magus, after all. Does anyone here know much about magic?

"Ride the Tiger" I think is better than "Men Amongst the Ruins" which was orginally "Man and Ruins" in Italian (the English title given to it is much more "Romantic").

It is ages since I listened to that talk by Bowden but I remember being very unimpressed by it- for instance Evola never called himself a "Catholic Pagan" and more than that made great lengths to distance himself from Nature worshipping "Ne-Pagans" while considering Catholicism which he had a little more time for hopelessly effeminate.

Dugin said something I think very observant about people who see themselves as disciples of Evola- a lot of them fall into two camps, those who read him through the prism of Rosenberg and those who on the other hand read him through the prism of Guenon (yes I know he was critical of Rosenberg and Guenon was critical of him). The former see him primarily as a Nordicist thinker and the latter fundamentally an Esoteric one.

I don't like Rosenberg but I still prefer him to Guénon because he seems to be concerned with actual political solutions whereas Guénon seems to be concerned with reviving old traditions of religion, but maybe I'm mistaken because I haven't read much of either.

I'm probably more of the one who reads Evola through the prism of Rosenberg... a 'Nordicist'.

I know a lot about magic. I've been studying it for over a decade. I haven't read any of Evola's books on the subject though.

 

[céline]

Is it true that Evola isn't taken seriously in academia? Is this because he's taboo or because he doesn't back up what he writes with scientific evidence?

 

[céline]

I returned to & read most of Introduction to Magic Volume One but I'm still confused by it.

Eros & the Mysteries of Love is still on the way in the post.
