If you do read Guenon and Evola, don't become a gnostic orientalist who counter-signals bold action.

I've read some Evola and agree with him

Like that stupid infographic that suggests Radical Traditionalist pipe smoking is the final pill AFTER being on the radical right.

I dislike monasticism though so I think I'm safe from that

Life exists for struggle. And any man who believes he's found an excuse to sit and quit is a spiritually dead coward.

Definitely

@parrott

Yup. That shit.

What Rockwell said about fanaticism is so true. When you get properly pilled, you're filled with this burning, you can not-not do anything.

As if the final form of western man is a prissy faggot who sits and bitches about what's going on outside his manor.

tbh my reaction about that is just "there ain't no difference between 3 and 4, just the attitude"

yeah sitting on your ass all day and overintellectualising is obviously going to accomplish things

But u c he's all intellectual and smart until the stoopid skinhead nazis, we need to get out of the streets and into conference halls.

it's gonna save the Aryan race bro

Well

at least Maistre was good at smoking pipes and watching shit from his manor

Radical Traditionalism, understood properly, is the maturation and depth undergirding the radical right. Though, in a primordial way, a right wing kid who despises degenerates and loves his people who picks up a gun instead of a book is not inferior to the man who can explain the metaphysics and metapolitics of it.

Of course

Oftentimes a nationalist normie/skin has his heart in the right place, and by inuition is actually much closer to the truth than those who have read three tonnes of books.

Boots on the ground are more importan than asses in seats

Yup.

You know exactly the "2smart2act" types

We can't all be warrior monks like myself.

character > intelligence

always

Not even that.

Education =/= Intelligence

A RadTrad might understands the underpinnings of our ideology better but that's not as important as actually implementing our ideology. I think it's important for leaders to have a deep and intricate knowledge, but it's simply not necessary for most men.

you understood what I meant

yea

Any man who attempts to juxtapose, knowledge, wisdom, and action is halfway to being a degenerate.

In addition. most people who intellectualize say baseline shit and even the shit they do say that makes sense is going to be strawmanned. I mean look at that one vid of Jared Taylor giving a lecture in 2012 at a university. He says totally innocuous basic-bitch shit about freedom of association and 90% of the people who get up to talk to him strawman and say irrelevent feel-good cringeworthy plattitudes

that everyone claps over

also no radtrad would say everyone needs to read a ton of books. they just fail to realise that you can't accomplish shit just by reading books

they can't understand the "action is the only thing that enacts change" part

Jared Taylor's ideology is self-negating, as his morality precludes taking the action necessary to act on his conclusions. It's like political tease and denial porn.

I mean who really does a good job of deconstructing...uh FringeElements is pretty smart.

spergyness notwithstanding

and even then, the main reason that doesn't matter
