“In vain has our democratic age claimed an equal right for all to be tragic; all attempts to open this kingdom of heaven to the poor in spirit have proven fruitless”
György Lukács, Soul and Form
“All art has its origin in the folk” is either a self-evident truth (platitude) or a lie that has long since ran its course. Art is the highest expression of a folk.

@AtomicAgeGnomad
are you implying that the cult of beauty spewed all over the e-political scene is nothing but a sick parody, even a commodification, of its former self? that they have retro projected their perversions in the cheapest manner onto the ancients? 🤣

"The Dionysian religion represented the apotheosis both of Aphroditean pleasure and of universal brotherhood; hence it was readily accepted by the servile classes and encouraged by tyrants…since it favored the democratic development on which their tyranny was based"
Bachofen
“Have you ever noticed that a morsel of sky, glimpsed through a cellar window, or between two chimneys, two boulders, or through an arcade, etc., could give off a more profound idea of infinity than a scrawling panorama viewed from the peak of a mountain?”
Baudelaire
"Whatever we do, we must not try to correct the illusory nature of their discourse, since that would expose us directly to an unequal contest with stupidity, and with the burden of our freedom"
Jean Baudrillard
"Today people live in rooms that have never been touched by death, dry dwellers of eternity, and when their end approaches they are stowed away in sanatoria or hospitals by their heirs" - Walter Benjamin
there has been much talk recently about capital punishment, and this poast isn't about the details of some criminal that was spared for too long through the byzantine legal system and those various groups that lobby for a denial of the real nature of criminality in a failing

‘Exploitation’ and ‘suppression’ are outdated mythologies, negative utopias, suggesting an easy way out of this situation, e.g. by ‘revolution’.

Dare a Vitalist respond?
"Dionysus is a woman’s god in the fullest sense of the word, the source of all woman’s sensual and transcendent hopes, the center of her whole existence. It was to women that he was first revealed in his glory, and it was women who propagated his cult"
Then everything ⟨includes⟩ itself in power,
Power into will, will into appetite,
And appetite, an universal wolf,
So doubly seconded with will and power,
Must make perforce an universal prey
And last eat up himself
~Shakespeare, Troilus and Cressida
Time hath, my lord, a wallet at his back,
Wherein he puts alms for oblivion,
A great-sized monster of ingratitudes:
Those scraps are good deeds past; which are devour'd
As fast as they are made, forgot as soon
As done
~Shakespeare, Troilus and Cressida

Great liberties have been taken to preserve the rhyme scheme, meter and cadence (do consult the German OG). More to come.
"December is not only night and cold; every year it touches life like the wing of a bird sure of its prey."

like the prostitute who seduces through cosmetics, physique, dress, the profile seduces through memes, shibboleths, emojis…in short, the erotics of identification. The whore then—not the übermensch—has always been the hero of our time
To add to this, let's take a look at Heidegger’s lecture on Nietzsche from 1936-1940, reworked in 1943 - Herein Nihilism is intertwined with H.’s concept of the ‘forgetting of being,’ hence ontological nihilism or reducing the world to a mere “stored reserve” awaiting plunder.1/x
Nietzsche's solidarity of the wheel stands between the eternal return and the planetary power of technology. The overcoming of man and the overcoming of the earth are a single process, Nietzsche wants to divide them, or at least withstand the ultimate collision.
Difference between Schmitt/Jünger and Nietzsche is about structure of eternity: the conservative revolution is a resumption of the perspective of eternity in its perenity; Nietzsche takes eternity as eternal return. In other words, paganism X Christianity. There are no synthesis.
«Car il y a dans ce monde où tout s’use, où tout périt, une chose qui tombe en ruines, qui se détruit encore plus complètement, en laissant encore moins de vestiges que la Beauté : c’est le Chagrin»

In the Glossarium Schmitt criticizes F.G. Jünger’s myopic use of myth, emphasizing that without the supplement of dialectics it falls short of grasping the technical. Still, there is something profound in F.G.’s Titanic: the mythic has strayed from the forest into the city.
Hier spricht der Feind:
Absent the caption, the image might deceive; victorious Brits cloaked in enemy spoils.
What is more fundamental than the f/e? Irreducible violence: glory & redemption beyond all factions, beyond victory & defeat.
Family parties are always an existential crisis: it is a life or death struggle to redpill my libtard cousins & oh grandma, not again!…the true enemy, the ideologues, are over for dinner.
“A crime imposed by God. He ambushed me along my path. Even before my birth, the trap had been set. Either your oracle lied or there was no escape. I was hunted down.”
Baudelaire had a similar remark on this painting by Octave Penguilly-l’Haridon:
"You know that infinity appears more profound when it is more tightly drawn"
Intellectuals scoff at attributing representation to the masses, "there is no democracy in practice" yet they are quick to assign "will" and "desire" to 'the people'. Such is the black mirror of statistics, polls, and political fancy.
It’s sad and pitiful to witness so many large accounts that have been here for nearly a decade trying to turn their “persona” into a project, a book, a film, a podcast or anything to push them beyond their demimonde bed

I've seen many variants and renditions of this post. Is it about sensitizing the masses in repetition and/or pandering? Have you reflected on the automatic function of your endeavors?

A telling scene:
Werther's humble origins prove an unforgivable faux pas, and the sensitive young man is ejected from an aristocratic gathering. He brushes them off as insipid and then drives "to see the sun set from the hill and read Homer’s glorious verses about Ulysses..."
