[QUOTE="Schwarzwald, post: 87022, member: 544"] He basically predicted a type that’s now completely familiar. The disaffected young man with no inner center, no tradition, no real self, who turns to destruction not out of ideology but out of a desperate need to feel something, to belong to something, to matter. The bombing and killing become almost secondary; the real drive is filling the void with intensity. It’s anarchy in the spiritual sense before it’s ever political. Most of the noise around Evola comes from people who read the wiki summary (that intern was written buy some fat leftist in the first place) and decided that was enough. The rest comes from people who actually fit his diagnosis but can't stomach the mirror. Either way, it's easier to call him a fascist cartoon than to sit with what he's actually describing, because what he's describing is the exact void that gets filled by subcultures, ideologies, and eventually violence. You don't have to like him. But if you're going to dismiss him, dismiss the actual argument, not the caricature.

Yukio Mishima, Sun & Steel [ATTACH type="full"]19333[/ATTACH] A fun fictional book that has an eerie similarities to modernity and the happenings in Europe is the camp of the saints.
