A lot of Euros (some are already appearing in comments) appear to believe that there's a political process whereby if we all shout that our countries are totally broken invaded shitholes loud enough the powers that be will make the migroids go away. That's not how anything works, and I very strongly suspect that the people most involved in selling the myth of broken, invaded shithole Europe are pretty hostile to Europeans and don't have our best interests in mind.
it’s actually not, but what’s crazy is that insisting Europe is total shit - destroyed, ruined, invaded, etc - has become not only an article of faith, but a required doctrine for so much of the online right. why is that, and what’s going on?

There will be statues to that man whose name no praise can ever be truly worthy of, that man who toiled under the Tuscan sun with no rewards nor esteem from his contemporaries. Time heals all wounds, for one’s true children come only centuries later if one’s good fortune lasts.

In Plato and Xenophon we’re told by their Socrates that the only measure of *true* wealth is friendship From there, Aristotle teaches us how friendship is the precondition for philosophy and politics as such In friendship the entirety of philosophy and politics are encompassed
Studying philosophy isn't a good way to gain material wealth. But is it the way to a rich and fulfilling life? No. But is it at least a path toward greater wisdom and understanding? Also no.

A figure I didn't mention in my art. about the Roman School of History of Religions was Angelo Brelich, due to the lack of texts available in English. I found a long one on the history of Greek initiatory institutions, tr. another one from the French. So, fleurinverse.substack.com/p/…

Cal Crucis’s simplest point might be his best; namely that, lacking a sense for a ‘civilizational project’, all the artifices of political discourse have no concrete meaning. Likewise, that all desires and correctives (e.g., ‘consciousness’) are bound to remain merely fleeting.

I got curious about a name I encountered: Leopold Ziegler. He wrote the first article about Guénon in German, was friend with some prominent figures. So I looked into it, found a couple more things, so I translated and gathered links; here it is all: substackfwd.xyz/?url=fleurin…

.@Athens_Stranger is a philosopher, writer, and Twitter poster. He joins me to discuss the life and thought of Fredrich Nietzsche. (4:13) Who was Nietzsche? (11:59) The Birth of Tragedy (19:10) Apollo and Dionysus (26:01) On the Genealogy of Morality (33:51) Can slave morality be found in our times? In the second half of the show (available to subscribers, link in reply), I read an excerpt from Beyond Good and Evil, which leads to a discussion on Nietzsche's views on hierarchy. What does Nietzsche mean by the pathos of distance? Athenian then explains the role breeding plays in Nietzsche's thought. Switching gears, we discuss one of Nietzsche's most infamous concepts: the death of God. Did this German philosopher literally believe that God died? Or did he mean something else? I then ask Athenian about Nietzsche's views on Jesus Christ – and Christianity more broadly. We talk about Nietzsche's belief that Christianity made Western man weak. Is that really accurate? Toward the end of the show, we consider Nietzsche's views on sexuality and politics. Would he be considered right-wing by today's standards? Are the left-Nietzscheans deluding themselves? Tune in to find out.
