says the ignoramus who has never read eumswil or marble cliffs, which are obviously anti totalitarian.

>>8363437
Did you read Marble Cliffs? Did you not get the contrast between the totalitarian order and the old aristocratic order? The main characters were veterans..

What disgusted Junger about totalitarianism was precisely that civilians were turned into undisciplined savages and zealots, dehumanised. War was something ambiguous that tempered noble energies, and it had been turned into a petty political tool for brutes and butchers to lord over the disgusting mob. He wasn't anti-war.

I got that the brutality in the forests to the north were the natural progression of war of the ranger, and that the main characters obviously lived in peace and plenty after a past life of violence. He obviously assigned an idyll to life on the cliffs, and the practice of naturalism, religion, and good company were far elevated above conflict. Did YOU read marble cliffs?

>>8363505
Not an answer to Junger's obvious disgust regarding modern conflict in the two stated works. Everyone forgets that storm of steel was his first work and that he matured past it, and also that his works in the 30s by their very nature got him out of denazification courts.

Good morning Herr Kaufmann. Shouldn't you be writing a sixteen-page footnote about how Nietzsche was secretly, esotorically proto-feminist and near-pathologically worshipful of Jews?

Revisionist whitewashing faggot. Go TA an English Lit class at a STEM university while people make fun of your gay hipster haircut because you're 34 and not fooling anyone. You have AIDS.

>>8363565
Sounds like You may be asspained and struggling to answer why placid, peaceful existence with nature and your fellow man is painted in such a favorable light in said work. I bet your hands are shaking as you look upon your replica iron cross thinking about how storm of steel justifying your lust for a war you never participated in.

>>8363574
>placid and peaceful
>ready to stoically take up arms at any time as a true warrior against a living caricature of warrior nobility

Are you sure I'm not interrupting your morning tweeting about gun control?

>>8363589
I strongly believe you did not read the works that you are commenting on. The protagonists end up fleeing the violence on a boat.

Nice

Sturm is short and gives you a general idea what his philosophy is like. I also started reading 2 years ago his diaries, need to finish them some day

Why are alt-righters so cringe-worthy?

Are you sure the Wikipedia summary of Farewell to Arms isn't more your speed? Or maybe just changing your tampon while crying?

>the events in marble cliffs aren't organized military conflict headed by "the ranger"
>the only times the veterans take up arms are on flaccid scouting expeditions, the only real defensive violence perpetrated is by a boy with snake magic.

>>8364098
As I said in my first fucking post, it's pretty much universally agreed that Junger is contrasting the urbanity and nobility of his traditional, conservative, warrior virtues with vulgar mob violence and frenzy. The ranger is a puffed-up caricature of legitimate martial authority, implying that such authority CAN be legitimate. That's why it's bad to ape it.

I was just fucking around before but I genuinely just feel bad for you that you can't read books except through the lens of some limp faggy presentism. You are one of those people who clenches their asshole when reading an author they like until they can find a tidy little way to rationalise away his racism or sexism.

Thank you.

Uh you know that Junger released many revised editions of Storm and Steel, the Penguin English edition is the Post WW2 one (pretty much the one one can find today), but there there no drastic u-turn over his views on conflict. If you are not aware, Junger was part of the the German Conservatice Revolutionary movement and continued to associate with the anti-liberal Right after the war (see his lifelong correspondence with Gottfried Benn, Heidegger and Schmitt)
