>not simultaneously taking your life

>>15783783
Uhhhhhhh, gay departament?

>>15783783
Why? Are you scared, anon?

>find out author was a fascist/racist/reactionary
>don't care and keep buying their books because they're dead anyway

>>15783825
I am repulsed

>>15783783
fascists are genuinely brain dead but this is a very silly thing to do. their kids always end up far left, buying a dead facist's book doesn't necessarily benefit racism facisim etc.

>>15783783
Might as well just kys.

>>15783783
>find out an author was a fascist/racist/reactionary
>Add their book to my shopping cart

>actually own a book by Evola
I thought there would be at least a semblance of an argument for the revival of platonism.

>>15783925
commies are genuinely brain dead but this is a very silly thing to do. their kids always end up far right, buying a dead commie's book doesn't necessarily benefit class warfare communism etc.

>>15783939
Nah bro that's Guenon

>>15783900
I wouldn't worry too much if they are dead, anon. You can always pirate too if you don't feel like feeding the marketing algorithm.

>>15783900
>Anon is too repulsed that his ideas might be significantly challenged
You ARE the Last Man

>>15783783
Which authors anon?

>>15783948
I don't know what to do with this Evola book, I very likely will not feel compelled to read it again, yet I am too embarrassed to donate it to a thrift store.

>>15784014
Which one is it

>>15783995
Emerson and Gertrude Stein, lately. Though I will probably read Stein later on just because of the Gass-man's recommendation.

>>15784026
If you think Stein is too reactionary for you to read then just give up on reading all together, since pretty much anyone worth reading is more reactionary than her.

>>15784019
Revolt.

>>15783783
Die tranny.
>>15783805
This.
>>15783806
And this.

>>15784041
Revolt is more of a pamphletary work. I recommend Introduction to Magic, however, it has nothing to do with politics.

>>15784026
>Emerson
>Abolitionist

>>15783955
Name an Author that is not dead.
Protip you can't

>>15784055
I very quickly realized there is no possible way this man's work is worth my time, money or shelf space.

>>15784077
What? I don't stick to the Greeks, anon. Sorry to disappoint you but I try to be inserted on our time. But I don't view the past with our current lenses either. Nor the older generations.

>>15784094
>he doesn't know

It is race, is it not? that puts the hundred millions of India under the dominion of a remote island in the north of Europe. Race avails much, if that be true which is alleged, that all Celts are Catholics and all Saxons are Protestants; that Celts love unity of power, and Saxons the representative principle. Race is a controlling influence in the Jew, who, for two millenniums, under every climate, has preserved the same character and employments. Race in the negro is of appalling importance. The French in Canada, cut off from all intercourse with the parent people, have held their [51] national traits. I chanced to read Tacitus “On the Manners of the Germans,” not long since, in Missouri and the heart of Illinois, and I found abundant points of resemblance between the Germans of the Hercynian forest, and our Hoosiers, Suckers and Badgers of the American woods.
-Emerson, English Traits

I only briefly heard that Stein had fascist sympathies I may have misjudged her too rashly. Again I will probably read her.

>>15784152
But really, you cant read any author if that's enough to make them too "scary" or whatever.
Pretty much every author before the 19th century is a no-go judging by that.

>>15784140
Twain wrote something similar about the French.

>Find out that the author was a kike
>Take their book off my cart

>>15783900
>I am repulsed
Oh, so you're literally a bigoted fascistphobe? hope you get cancelled

>>15784161
I understand that context matters, I've read plenty of old stuff. But when an author says something like this:
>>15784140
I can't help but feel turned off and replace them in my cart with another book I want to read.

Name one

>FInd out author is a woman
>Throw the book away
>light the bin on fire so no one else can accidentally read it

>>15783939
Evola isnt a platonist

>>15783947

>>15783925
leftists don't have kids anymore, turns out negatively politicizing marriage & reproduction makes you weaker. though i think they will still win because hardcore social liberals control every institution in the west pretty much so there's no benefit to staying right-wing for cons' kids

>find out author is Fascist/super right wing
>Think that's interesting, read work and try to see if I can draw out influences and better understand fascism and the author
>Find out author is communist
>Think that's fuckin sick. Don't read into it at all
As a result I read Mishima intensely and can't tell you a damn thing about how leftism might affect Calvino's work.

>imblying leftists politicised marriage and reproduction
>imblying liberals control every institution
>imblying leftists don't have kids

i didn't know apes knew how to operate mobile phones. read a book or two, it should help you differentiate empty online rhetoric and twitter screenshots from reality.

His book on the grail is worth reading. His other stuff is dog shit

>>15784189
You could be a real seeker of truth but instead you're paralized with the mention of some dumb taboo like "well i can't read this, he said the F word and my mum says i'm not allowed"

>>15784477
They'll win because the non-whites who want to inherit the West will ally with them to ensure the destruction of whites, and the oligarchs seem fine with that. Once the West has been 'browned', I suspect a lot of the extreme progressive ideology will be rolled back.
