Spot on. A lot of the guys who joined the Alt-Right in the leadup to Trump and the breakout of Gamergate did so looking for Truth and meaning, only to be faced with a different flavor of Cargo Cult BS that continued to exist because the people who deified the post-Rockwell WN movements figureheads wanted a scene, not a successful movement or a productive ideological current.

Thank you for continuing to destroy more Sacred Cows.

From a friend of the Author:

"Spengler’s attitude toward his Faustian civilizational model changed as his philosophical outlook became more pessimistic with each work he wrote. As I put it in a note in my introduction to the new English translation of his little-known posthumous book “Early Days of World History,” Spengler’s view of Faustian Man changed “from triumphalist to pessimistic to downright apocalyptic” as his writing career progressed."

Hey Zoran,

What you wrote isn't all bad or all good in this article, but as there is quite a lot to say on this theme anyways I'll just suggest to you that your outlook is too Christian (which has some good things to say) but why should we take so seriously the statement from the serpent to Eve bemoaning eating the fruit?

Secondly, Spencer under the influence of Brahmin doesn't promote anything Faustian as such as they see it as jewish, maybe Augustus Sol Invictus does.

Self-correction I realise that the serpent was encouraging it rather than bemoaning it, I think it would be better to understand your reasons for being such a devout Christian?

Yeah, which is what the Author of this post is saying. He is specifically skewering the Discord Edgelords and 80s WN Cargo Cultists.

Zolt's read Spengler if you must know.

Also, you don't have an argument. You're just nitpicking and ignoring the substance of the post.

That's because he's busy destroying the misuse of Faustian as a term that came about because of dilettantes like Richard Spencer.

Also, you're being pedantic and overly dramatic. Maybe cool it with the faux intellect

And if you ask me, it's where it ended that mattered, not where some intellectualist neckbeard (You) who jacks off to Moldbug thinks it went. Becuase you are exhibiting all of the negative behaviors and ideas Zolt rightfully pointed out while misunderstanding Spengler at his core, while Zolt is 100% accurate in his portrayal of Spengler.

By the way, got this from a friend of the Author who is an actual Spengler scholar rather than the bloviating gamma male spergatron that you definitely are showing yourself to be. Nice wall of text by the way, It's always amusing to see how much nothing a blow hard like you can write:

"Spengler’s attitude toward his Faustian civilizational model changed as his philosophical outlook became more pessimistic with each work he wrote. As I put it in a note in my introduction to the new English translation of his little-known posthumous book “Early Days of World History,” Spengler’s view of Faustian Man changed “from triumphalist to pessimistic to downright apocalyptic” as his writing career progressed."

Oh, and you're simpering outrage at me calling out your very true deficiencies of intellect just reveal you to be a gamma male.

Pages ain't food. ;^)

Wow, you have completely lost the plot and are conjuring accusations out of thin air.

Maybe stop huffing Alex Jones controlled op farts and reread your Decline of the West Hardcovers.

And stop eating the pages while you are at it. The non-arktos versions are laden with high fructose corn syrup.

Dude, now you're just making shit up.

"Enamored in a Cult of personality".

That's very much a stretch coming from you at this point, especially considering how positively you've mentioned Moldbug in some of your writings, who has an actual Cult of personality that you might be enamored by.

Anyway, enjoy your day.

Your comment is an example of when you can read but have no comprehensive competence in understanding what you are reading.
