Julius Evola
I am intimately acquainted with the abyss; the only author that has the power to lift me up (or rather gives me the strength to uplift myself) is Julius Evola.

Re: Julius Evola
I'm glad you've receive some consolation from him. He reminds me very much of Spengler. But I must be honest. I'm hesitant to click on the link to Counter Currents. I have my own conservative tendencies, but I don't care for the kind of ideology espoused by said website. I believe the "soul" (or whatever one wishes to call it) ought to be aristocratically arranged, but I don't believe society itself should be.

I think you would absolutely love Leo Strauss.
"In a less scientific age, he would have been a devil-worshipper, a partaker in the abominations of the Black Mass; or would have given himself to the study and practice of sorcery. His was a religious soul that had failed to find good in the scheme of things; and lacking it, was impelled to make of evil itself an object of secret reverence."

~ Clark Ashton Smith, "The Devotee of Evil"

Spengler is another good one. Evola actually translated The Decline of the West into Italian. Neither Evola nor I are conservatives as there is nothing left to conserve. I think the whole left-right paradigm is dead, it's irrelevant, it's meaningless. Why are you hesitant? There is nothing scary about it. Why do you think the soul should be aristocratically arranged but not society? I also really like E. Christian Kopff, H.L. Mencken, Ernst Junger, George Bernard Shaw, Jack London, William Gayley Simpson, Otto Weininger, Savitri Devi, Lawrence Brown, Rene Guenon, Kevin MacDonald, Revilo P. Oliver, James Mason, Ragnar Redbeard, Joseph S. Salemi, Ezra Pound, Jean Raspail, Francis Parker Yockey, Anthony Ludovici, Herbert Spencer, Martin Heidegger, Mikhail Bakunin (to an extent), Alain de Benoist, Antonio Francesco Gramsci (to an extent), Arthur Schopenhauer, Marcus Aurelius, Plato, Aristotle, . I know a little about Leo Strauss but haven't really looked into him very deeply. This is interesting though, https://www.counter-currents.com/201...nal-socialism/

If aristocracy is interpreted as the rule of the best, then it's essential to ask who is the best and what exactly are they better at. There are competing answers, so it's difficult to discern which answer is better. While certainly imperfect, liberal democracies at least enable the individual to make that decision on his or her own. Not only that, I also don't particularly like being ruled by someone who somehow believes their understanding of what is "best" is inherently superior to my own understanding of the matter. I believe in a society in which responsible people govern themselves, not a society in which idle aristocrats dictate through social planning, planning which requires stealing the labor produced on the part of "non"-aristocrats. A person ought to be free to pursue their own intellectual agenda, but they shouldn't be allowed to impose said agenda on someone who, although equally educated, disagrees.

Re: Julius Evola
I believe Counter Currents is indeed racist. Anyone can read their "manifesto" and confirm it for themselves.

You forgot to mention what is wrong with "racism" though and what makes it scary, do you perhaps believe there is some sort of common understanding? Are we supposed to guess? You do know saying someone or something is "racist" is like saying someone or something is a "witch" don't you? You do know that the time of people crying "racist" and thinking it will shut down speech, while they claim some sort of "moral high ground" is long over, don't you? No more safe spaces, dawn of a new day and all that...
