Did Evola live his ideas? I highly doubt it.
He seems physically weak, narcisisstic (writing books, doing interviews), city-dwelling, and generally quite inconsistent with the whole 'hero' and 'absolute man' arcs.
Can you follow a mans ideas when he does not follow them himself?

I'm not an Evolagay but he did climb mountains and walked through the streets while bombs were falling. Also narcissism is a trait of practically every hero in antiquity
Source? Genuinely interested in learning more about the man.
He got bound to a wheel chair because when he was on a walk bombs were falling and a shrapnel hit his back. Thats why he couldnt do stuff like be a hero.
>Source?
He made an entire book about mountain climbing.
>Genuinely interested in learning more about the man.
the most cursory, basic inspection about his life would indicate that he was an avid mountain climber his entire life until he was blown up in an artillery strike and lost control of his legs.
He was an artillery officer in WWI.
>narcissism is a trait of practically every hero in antiquity
I’m legitimately curious as to what your reasoning is.
He was doing sex magic and shit with hot Italian babes with huge milkers who jerked him off in his wheelchair even in his old age. Why would he leave to the countryside or to a war? LMAO when you get your wiener touched by a Moorish salope from Sicily, tell me how willing you are to invade Ethiope, homie

>He seems physically weak
That's generally what happens after you're crippled from the waist down. The world was not handicap friendly in the early days either, so it would be hard to get around.
also he actually had pretty broad shoulders in his interview
>Can you follow a mans ideas when he does not follow them himself?
That has never bothered any larper ever on here. The Bible tells Christians they ought to be poor, humble and pacifistic, and the Christians on here are all narcissistic, hypermaterialistic and judgmental goofballs who want to kill anyone they suspect of being an enemy and can't wait for them to be horribly tortured.
Hypocrisy is the soul of larping
>and the Christians on here are all narcissistic, hypermaterialistic and judgmental goofballs who want to kill anyone they suspect of being an enemy and can't wait for them to be horribly tortured.
Christians in a lot of places. You described your average evangelical pastor
Sounds more like the average mooslem.
He was another gay LARPer, so naturally IQfy likes him.
Bussy was the true Grail all along.
It's an explanation, not a propagation, moron.
Another useful idiot trying to lure disaffected young men to the israelite's kabbalah.
His occult writing is remarkably free of kabbalah considering the occult milieu of the time.
>Can you follow a mans ideas when he does not follow them himself?
no, that's why we follow Guenon instead
Guenon was a freemason. All of these guys are gatekeepers.
what's wrong with gatekeeping? even though IQfy is an anonymous forum with no defacto gatekeeping there is still a gatekeeping culture of "lurkmoar" and "start with the greeks" and if we could defacto enforce it I think the discussions on this forum would be way more valuable. Also there is a reason why IQfy peak hours are when mutts are sleeping.
Lit hasn't been subjected to enough gatekeeping, it's become a lot worse over the years unfortunately
>le ebil freemasons
Yes.
based
he did a lot
>Painted some gay abstract paintings and wrote some shit.
Not that impressive.
>wrote some shit
he's been quite influential on this board, I have a feeling it's not going to stop here
huh? he's irrelevant now, he used to be shilled here 24/7 like over five years ago, today literally nobody cares about him anymore, it started and ended here
No, I don't think so people are slowly getting tired of modern life even when they don't realize it, of course it's going to get much worse before it get's better
>No, I don't think so
He literally is not read or discussed here anymore, is that really too complex for you to process?
>people are slowly getting tired of modern life
People have been claiming this for at least a century. What that has to do with Evola becoming popular again is beyond me.
I see a thread just about every day discussing him, you are making shit up, today was a bit low volume but he is very much relevant here.
>What that has to do with Evola becoming popular again is beyond me
moron
Considering that pretty much none of the people who read him actually live by his ideas, I'm going to say absolutely nobody will remember him in a year or two
It's kind of difficult to live by his ideas and make it appear to others, it sort of defeats the purpose in some ways, I try to anyway, in the future, I will fully commit myself, I am at a place in my life where my family will greatly suffer if I truly get to do what I want to
>I am at a place in my life where my family will greatly suffer if I truly get to do what I want to
Do it. Suffering is inherent, passivity is not.
The issue is that I’m choosing to stay at home and wagelsave in order to support my little brother, who’s quite young, there is no other adult male in his life present. It’s entirely up to me to make sure he doesn’t troon out
Don't be a b***h and support your family and your brother, there is no shame in it.
quite a noble pursuit, there's nothing wrong or shameful about it. What would you do otherwise?
I must've misread the comment and made it seem like I regretted staying, I'm quite glad that I am doing this. I was just replying as to why I'm not living to his ideals as another guy was saying to me. I have absolutely 0 regrets about what I'm doing and I'm not going anywhere until he is old enough to handle himself. (I'm thinking when he reaches high school, I'll try to see towards moving out of America, I'll probably visit him or fly him out to where I live during the summers) The real test is going to be puberty, I want him to have a figure that I never had during my early adolesence
Good to hear
>was commissioned to formulate doctrines he didn't apply to himself and participate in wars where he wasn't present in the line of fire, apart from some gay walk once
Wow really impressive
A walk during an air raid, he also fought in WW1.
And what have you done you fricking disgusting gutter trash?
they are all like that. Himmler was obsessed with creating ubermensch but looked like a subhuman. fetishising Struggle ideology and beliefs about a class of aristocratic people who should rule over the rest is all cope by morons with an inferior complex
Why are so many of the posts on lit absolutely moronic? This board was much better 5 or so years ago
>narcisisstic (writing books, doing interviews)
Only a woman-brined mind would think that writing down ideas and talking to people stems from narcissism, since it is in women that narcissism is the driving force for anything they do.
evola was an occultist and had created a secret occultist organization similar to freemasonry called Ur while guenon was a well known freemason. these homosexuals loved "initiation" and other crap, they absolutely created a ton of damage in modern philosophy with all their esotericism and theosophy mixing gnosticism, yoga, veda, kabbalah, sufism, etc.
>absolute man
He explicitly said this is just a platonic form and noone is that, which runs in line with his interest in Weininger
you're literally some loser on an imageboard, so why should anyone care what you think?
>He seems physically weak
Bruh, he looked like chad.
Thats Karl Brandt
No way.
Evola was still a pretty good looking guy in his youth either way. Looked like the crypt keeper towards the end of his life, but them's the breaks
>generally quite inconsistent with the whole 'hero' and 'absolute man' arcs.
In his writings he defined writers/academics as heroes too. So he pretty much gave himself a free pass there.
He was very physically active before he got crippled by the bombing.
He used to climb the Alps with no rope, just as a way to challenge himself, train his concentration and his courage (he talks about this in many books).
His reasoning to walk around diring the bombing was, btw "I will never run away".
He's Kamina tier, if you are or were a weeb in your younger years.
>He used to climb the Alps with no rope, just as a way to challenge himself, train his concentration and his courage
Interesting. Saw a bunch of climbing documentaries with IQfy-ish crowd the other day, and there were three about free soloers (people climbing on their own without ropes). They all go on about only feeling alive when they're right on the edge of dying. It sounds a bit like the people who surf 100-foot waves. (The whole mystical surfer lifestyle / philosophy seems absurd to me, but there we are.)
I respect mountain-climbing a lot more than just walking around in an air raid, though, because in the air raid it's pure chance if you get hit, whereas when you're climbing, it's all in your own hands (more or less).
In his book "meditation on the peaks" he talks about the difference between sports like climbing and surfing, from a psychological and spiritual level.
How climbing is more slow, less exhilarating etc

which ideas?

>city dwelling
where in Evola did you find the idea that the 'hero' is a rural bodybuilder?
as has been stated he was an avid mountain climber before the war. he was also an accomplished equestrian IIRC
you haven't read evola, the absolute man isn't a Chad larpAGAN who lives in the woods. He stressed the importance of spiritual development rather than physical development and he refuted the idea of living "rurally"
>moron leftists who don't know anything about Evola keep posting about him
>Did Evola live his ideas? I highly doubt it.
He was one of the leading avantgardists in Italy, and had a reputation as a ladies' man. He spent most of his life importing and translating important authors to Italy to create a sort of right wing republic of letters. But it wasn't just right wing. He also launched Buddhist studies in Italy and majorly contributed to revitalizing orientalist studies there with his Doctrine of Awakening. The entire first generation of Italian Buddhologists were mainly inspired by that book even if they didn't know who Evola was otherwise. He was constantly productive.
He saw physical exertion as a form of yogic asceticism and climbed mountains. He travelled around Europe during WW2 trying to bring the Axis nations closer together, trying to teach the Italian Fascist regime how to understand National Socialist regime and vice versa, lecturing to German audiences about the universality of fascism and the need for a fascist brotherhood of nations. He visited Codreanu and Eliade in Romania too. He tried to turn the SS into a fraternal crusading order like a new Templars. While the bombs were falling as Italy was conquered by the Americans, he would go for walks as an esoteric experience, and ended up getting wounded and needing a wheelchair for life.
After the war he basically launched the entire Italian right wing movement and arguably was the most significant right wing intellectual organizer in Europe. He was also the inspiration for the MSI terror campaign and knew many radicals personally although I don't believe he supported such rash and arbitrary terror tactics. Overall his influence is intellectual. He worked ceaselessly to give spiritual and conceptual structure to whatever right wing movements existed, whether during the war or after it, even while most people were despairing of the possibility of a right wing politics after the total victory of liberal capitalism. Like he says in the preface of Revolt, he taught people how to keep the flame alive and to pass the torch to another generation.
> muh strength, vitality, and manliness
fascists are so fricking gay lol
>thinks Evola was a fascist
Do you have brain damage or are you just a lefturd?
probably he's a leftist who thinks all nationalists were fascists
I really don't know of any nationalists that aren't fascists. The most moderate form of nationalism is fascistic, which isn't full fascist I guess
the frick are you? adorno?
Show me a non-fascistic nationalist then, you whiney pseudo intellectual dipshit
all the nationalists who were not members of the National Fascist Party, moron.
What National Fascist Party? Can you tell me what there alternative ideologies are?
>What National Fascist Party?
Throughout the world there was only one national fascist party that called its members "fascists" (another party that echoed fascism was Mosley's party in England, which also called its members "fascists"), the Italian party. So, properly, the members of these two parties (National Fascist Party in Italy and British Union of Fascists in England) were the only "fascists" in existence. perhaps this is difficult for you to understand, since the left labels anyone who has been or is now right-wing as a fascist.
evola wasn't a member of the national fascist party so he wasn't a fascist
>bioleninist mutant literally terrorized by ideas remotely related to genetic and physical fitness
color me surprised lmao
It's all just very homoerotic. From this I conclude Evolagays are literal gaysand all secretly gay
I mean I wouldn't be a surprised that a couple of the fetishize masculinity or whatnot, the femboy facist archetype is kind of a meme for a reason, with that said it is absolutely not the driving force, and even if it is, the fact that people get attracted to his ideas to such an extent just goes to prove how right he is
WHERE TO START WITH HIM?
I'm almost done with metaphysics of war, it is a very approachable application of much of his beliefs it is a great place to start, though I still urge you to start with guenon
basically was a weak man and thinker. couldn't live or even die for his ideals.
