Have you taken the Guénon pill yet, /pol/? He was certainly an odd guy, but...
>Skeptical of modern capitalism
>Too intelligent for communism or rootless collectivism
>A more coherent metaphysics than Evola
>Contemptuous of the dumb masses, but sympathetic, because they chose not their incapacities - guide them rather than punish
>Deeply skeptical of "science"
>The philosopher-king we needed, but didn't deserve or appreciate in his time
Here he is masterfully diagnosing modern "antifa," decades ago:
>It sometimes so happens that people who imagine that they are fighting the devil, whatever their particular notion of the devil may be, are thus turned, without any suspicion of the fact on their part, into his best servants!
"La Crise du monde moderne"/Crisis of the Modern World is a good place to start, if you haven't already.

Guenon was a fag who wanted to become a Hindu, but they wouldn't initiate him into their sect because Hindus are traditional racists and don't want rootless western degenerates like Guenon ruining their culture. So Guenon instead converted to islam (retarded) while secretly adhering to vedanta and creating a dumbass theory that all religions are secretly just vedanta in disguise (retarded). He moved to the desert with sandniggers, betraying his kin and ancestors (untraditional), and died disgraced and is now burning in hell for following false prophet Mohammad. And not even sincerely following him, as I said, since he just pretended it was vedanta even though it really isn't at all.

The irony, of course, being that this describes Guenon himself perfectly.

He was a French writer who lived between the 1880's and the 1950's. Crisis of the Modern World was published in French in the 1920's (a lot of his work was during the interwar period), and is available in translation here:

Chapter 5 ("Individualism") which begins on page 55 was one of his best-known passages.

A great great thinker. I used to read "La crise du monde Moderne".
He was spiritually awake.
