Can you tell me more about this whole "ride the tiger"

Do you really want to understand Evola? It's heavy as fuck reading and he talks about esoteric stuff (basically magic and symbolism) and also references classical literature a lot. If you legitimately want to get into his works then you better be in it for the long run son.

That picture is fucking stupid, as expected of Iron Pill faggotry

He also expects you to know Latin and Greek just for good measure.

We're in decline, so you may as well accept it and make the most of it.

>>1936352
Holy fuck, that's definitely not what Evola meant. You make it sound like he advocates basic dionysian hedonism.

>>1936356
Where am I going wrong then?

>>1936352
You don't accept it, that's the thing.

Instead you stick to your ways and wait for the change of times.

It's basically no different from American Evangelical and JW attitudes towards the End Times (or modern society for that matter.) You're Left Behind (tm) in a godless and doomed world but you just gotta keep your saintliness going.

Here's from the end of "Revolt":
>"The possibilities still available in the last times concern only a minority and may be distinguished as follows. Beside the great "currents" of the wrold there are still individuals who are rooted in terra firma. Generally speaking, they are unknown people who shun the spotlight of modern popularity and culture. They live on spiritual heights; they do not belong to this world. Though they are scattered over the earth and often ignorant of each other's existence, they are united by an invisible bond and form an unbreakable chain in the traditional spirit"

>>1936386
>"This nucleus does not act; it only exercises the funciton to which the symbolism of the "perennial fire" corresponded. By virtue of these people, Tradition is present despite all; the flame burns invisibly and something still connects the world to the superworld. They are those who are awake, whom in the greek are called the [greek word here].

>>1936395
So it's just a matter of staying spiritual?

>>1936336
I wonder who could be behind this post?

Foiled yet again.

>>1936411
It's not "just" a matter of a simple thing like that. He wrote huge books on the subject. I don't even know where to start. I've only read Tiger and Revolt myself, gonna get started on Men Among the Ruins. It's the comfiest author though.

>comfy
Enlarge your vocabulary, you drooling retard.

>>1936446
I said your triggerword?

>>1936459
Who the fuck would get triggered by "comfy"? I'm telling you to express yourself properly.

>>1936475
What's improper about "comfy?" Are you the language police or something?

Different anon btw

>>1936501
I'm confused as to how Evola could be described as "comfy".

>>1936501
What is "comfy" supposed to mean when discussing Evola?

>Are you the language police or something?
I guess I am.

>>1936512
>>1936515
Again I'm not the anon who used said it initially but I would say for someone who subscribes to a traditionalist worldview reading Evola is COMFORTing because he eloquently expresses that worldview and contextualizes it within the larger frame of Western history.

>>1936432

So essentially you're either this person or you're not.

>>1936529
>tfw Anon steps in and explains your shitposting in a rational way that you agree with

Thanks

Where does the Kali Yuga fit into this?

>>1936316
We live in the Kali Yuga so become a cynical sociopath who claims that he would follow traditional morality if only this corrupt society would allow it so you can still feel superior while being a piece if shit.

ITT: Evola is comfy

Is the Kali Yuga closer than ever now?

>Pre-Enlightenment people were all "cynical sociopaths"

What would a non-cynical sociopath be like, you meme loving fuck?
