[The integrationists] fail to see the extent to which America is “negrified” not only racially and demographically, but above all in its civilization, in the behaviour and tastes of Americans, even when there has been no actual mixing with negro blood.

Again, as Evola writes: “. . . the United States, the most plebeian country in the world.”
They are so plebeian in everything, even in their concept of happiness and how they try to manifest it.
Julius Evola on Sartre:
«It may be ad hominem, but, to put no fine a point on it, Sartre is quite an ugly man. Small, coarsely featured and squint-eyed. His ugliness, I think, is very different from Socrates’ ugliness. It mirrors something fundamental in his soul. We know he is
Nothing is more evident than that modern capitalism is just as subversive as Marxism. The materialistic view of life on which both systems are based is identical; both of their ideals are qualitatively identical, including the premises connected to a world the center of which
—Evola describing Cornelui Codreanu:
1. “We enter the building and reach the first floor. Here we are met by a tall and slender young man in casual

and loyalty.
1/ After centuries of "slavery" women wanted to be themselves and to do whatever they pleased. But so-called feminism has not been able to devise a personality for women other than by imitating the male personality, so that the woman's "claims" conceal a fundamental lack of trust
—Evola on jeans-wearing women:
«These girls ought to have been sent to concentration or labour camps: these, and not luxurious existentialist apartments, would have been the appropriate setting for them and for the ‘functionality’ of their way of dressing,
Jung is right to say that the ancient demons against whose possession people sought to defend themselves in the past have not disappeared in the ‘enlightened and advanced’ world,
Sauntering with an illiterate farmer is honestly far better than speaking with someone whose “essentials” are these specific books (except for Plato, for sure).
It is clear that today by regression we are living in a civilisation whose predominant interest is neither intellectual, spiritual, nor heroic, nor even directed to the higher forms of emotion. Rather the sub-personal—sex and the belly—are idolised;
The fact that Europeans barely any longer wear such decent, elegant, and colourful attires! It is just lamentable. And not only Europeans; globalism uproots everyone and then reproduces them in the same bland and soulless shape.
In Latin, patientia designated one of the primary ‘virtues’ of the Roman: it encompassed the idea of an inner strength, an unshakable firmness; it alluded to the capacity to stand one’s ground, to maintain an unwavering spirit in the face any setback or adversity.
A true King never desires shadows, puppets, and automatons as subjects, but rather he desires individuals, warriors, living, and strong beings; and in fact, his pride would be to feel himself to be a King of kings.

My very main issue with Racism (in the crude sense) is that it appears exceedingly ‘egalitarian’: it makes you think that, just by belonging to a specific race then you are by default ‘better’ and ‘higher’, when you might be the worst and most odious imbecile possible.
The Kali Yuga as described in the Mahanirvana Tantra, ch. IV (tr. Arthur Avalon):
1. When women become difficult of control, heartless and quarrelsome, and calumniators of their husbands, then know that the Kali Age has become strong (51).
126 years ago, on the 19th of May, Julius Evola was born in Rome. A man who, throughout his life, “took a wicked pleasure in upsetting right-thinking, conventional and dull people, both of the Right and of the Left,”—and this is what I most like.

Americans still picturing this fight as if it were ever between communism and liberal capitalism is one of the most ridiculous things one can ever see. American people are a totally lost case, really.
René Guénon (62 years old) informing Evola why he no longer takes pictures of his own self:
1/ “As for my photograph, I am sorry that I cannot satisfy your request, but the truth is that I don’t have any, and for many reasons.
—Evola speaking of one of two nationalisms:
1. This nationalism, born in the revolutions which have overturned the remnants of the aristocratico-feudal regime, expresses therefore a pure ‘crowd spirit’: it is a variety of democratic intolerance for every leader who is
Carl Jung: 1/ “Another thing that struck me was the great influence of the Negro, a psychological influence naturally, not due to the mixing of blood. The emotional way an American expresses himself, especially the way he laughs, can best be studied in the illustrated supplements

«. . . the parasitical city dweller, traditionless, utterly matter-of-fact, religionless, clever [derogatorily], unfruitful, deeply contemptuous of the countryman and especially that highest form of countryman, the country gentleman.»—Spengler.
A man loves a woman not because she is beautiful, desirable, smart, or graceful, and not out of pure lust. All these explanations explain nothing. He loves because he loves, beyond any logic—this is a sign of the ‘magnetism’ of love.

«Evola is ignored by specialists because he goes beyond their mental schemes. He is inaccessible to dilettantes, because he has recourse to a truly prodigious erudition, and at the same time does not make any concession to the presentation of his ideas.»
—Mircea Eliade on Evola.
The aristocratic way of being is typified by a superiority that is virile, free, and personalized. It corresponds to the demand—which had typical expressions in the classical world—that what is lived internally as spirituality should manifest outwardly in an equilibrium of body,
Some women are so effortlessly and gracefully beautiful that they make you wish the death of all other women, because they all—by their mere existence—desecrate the utter beauty of the one and only.

It is now established that, on January 21, 1945, after the accident that happened to Evola during the American airstrikes on Vienna, he woke up and immediately asked what had happened to his monocle.

Evola, between Skiing and Mountaineering:
In mountaineering the essential element, the focus of interest of the sport, is constituted by the act of ascending; in skiing this instead corresponds to descending. The dominant motif in mountaineering is conquest; the attainment /1
In modern civilization everything tends to suffocate the heroic sense of life. Everything is more or less mechanized, spiritually impoverished, and reduced to a prudent and regulated association of beings who are needy and have lost their self-suffiency.
The true antithesis is not between capitalism and Marxism, but between a system in which the economy rules supreme (no matter in what form) and a system in which the economy is subordinated to extra-economic factors, within a wider and more complete order,
Freedom is an ideal, but in the perspective indicated by this formula of Goethe: “Anything that liberates our spirit without raising us to a greater mastery of ourselves, corrupts us”.

If the mask of American ‘democracy’ were thereby removed, it would become clear to what extent ‘democracy’ in America (and elsewhere) is only the instrument of an oligarchy which pursues a method of ‘indirect action’,
Right and Left are designations that refer to a political society which is already in crisis. In Traditional regimes, these designations did not exist, at least as they are presently understood.

The Last Hours of Julius Evola, by Mario Coen Belinfanti (1925-2023):
«It must have been March-April 1974 when Julius Evola, due to acute heart failure, collapsed and lost consciousness. His doctor, Dr. Placido Procesi, had him urgently admitted to the San Camillo Hospital, but
The truth is rather that at the bottom of feminism there hides a ‘radical pessimism’: that is, the tacit premise that woman ‘as woman’ cannot find value in herself, for which she must, insofar as she can, make herself into a man, claim the same social
2/ in herself as well as her inability to be and to function as a real woman and not as a man. Due to such a misunderstanding, the modern woman has considered her traditional role to be demeaning and has taken offense at being treated "only as a woman."
The red Indians were proud races with their own style, their own dignity, sensibility and forms of religiosity; not without justification, a traditionalist writer, F. Schuon, spoke of the presence in their being, of something “aquiline and solar.”
The only thing that matters today is the activity of those who can "ride the wave" and remain firm in their principles, unmoved by any concessions and indifferent to the fevers, the convulsions, the superstitions, and the prostitutions that characterize modern generations.
“Evola believes that race is spiritual as well as physical. If a man comes to you and says, “Oh, I’m white! You should be looking after me, mate!” he would say what is your intellect, what is your quality, what is your moral sense, what do you know about your civilization,
In modern civilization everything tends to suffocate the heroic sense of life. Everything is more or less mechanized, spiritually impoverished, and reduced to a prudent and self regulated association of beings who are needy and have lost their self-sufficiency.
Today is Julius Evola's 125th birthday. Evola's last will before leaving this world was to die «standing» in front of his work desk.
«There is no point in indulging in wishful thinking with the illusions of any kind of optimism: Today, we find ourselves at the end of a cycle.»
To the modern woman the possibilities of physical love are often not as interesting as the narcissistic cult of her body, or as being seen with as many or as few clothes as possible, or as engaging in physical training, dancing, practicing sports, pursuing wealth, and so on. . .
«The blood of heroes is closer to the Lord than the ink of scholars and the prayers of the pious.»
This quote is quite often attributed to Evola; but it should be noted that, it is not his. He quotes it from an Arabic origin without providing a reference; it is still not his.
3/ inspiration from the Negro, and so does the dance. The expression of religious feeling, the revival meetings, the Holy Rollers and other abnormalities are strongly influenced by the Negro, and the famous American naïveté, in its charming as well as its more unpleasant form,
““But the Jews are the chosen people of God!” That may be so, but tastes differ; they are not my chosen people. . . . They are the chosen people of their God and he is the chosen God of his people, and this is of no further concern to anyone else.”

Until recent times, the opposite tendency was common: many male and female individuals from the lower classes would, more or less artificially and clumsily, imitate the mannerisms, speech and behaviour of the upper classes.

Whatever I say of America, I want this account’s followers to always bear in mind that, Evola said far worse and harsher. So, try to calm yourself down.
Liberalism knows nothing of the personality, it knows only of the individual, which represents the degradation and almost the caricature of the personality; and with its egalitarian and levelling ideology it destroys the very possibility for the person,
“[R]eligions are more or less like successful works of art. In the work of art, time gains thickness at a higher level, despite its perfection which we perceive outside of time and which remains unattainable.

The best and most authentic reaction against feminism and against every other female aberration should not be aimed at women as such, but at men instead.
“We do not believe that man’s derived from the ape by evolution. We believe that ape’s derived from the man by involution. We agree with De Maistre that savage peoples aren’t primitive peoples . . . but rather the degenerating remains of more ancient races that have disappeared.”
“René Guénon should certainly be considered as a Master of our times. His contributions to the critique of the modern world and to the comprehension of the “world of Tradition,” of symbols & of metaphysical teachings, are truly invaluable.”
