Bump, and I mean, Fistbump to God, you allowed us to build our shit cairns but at least you wouldnt allow street view,

One of those killed at the base camp was Dan Fredinburg, a Google engineer and avid climber who had sought to take the company’s Street View project to the world’s highest mountains.

Is Leo Strauss too scholarly for him?

i read evola's book about fascism and it was mildly interesting because it explained some right-wing ideas i hadn't thought about before. then i read his book on the nazis and it was just completely terrible.

it'll be great when socialism triumphs and we can start repurposing some of these right-wing tropes for our new society instead of letting them languish under the control of morons.

also the wikipedia page for the julius evola guy mentioned in that tweet is over 10,000 words including long passages about how he didn't care whether the protocols of the elders of zion was real because it revealed an essential truth

Heinrich Himmler's SS kept a dossier on him, and in dossier document AR-126 described him as a "reactionary Roman," with a secret goal of "an insurrection of the old aristocracy against the modern world," and recommended that the SS "stop his effectiveness in Germany" and provide no support to him. When he met with "esoteric Hitlerist" Miguel Serrano, Evola denied that he was a fascist or Hitlerist, but rather saw Metternich as a conservative ideal. Serrano himself was critical of Evola and saw him as an "old-style traditionalist."

Didn't stop him from being able to cooperate with SS 'research' on Freemasonry however so...

Sad that being Too-Insanely-Reactionary-for-Nazis-Occultists is treated by some as a sign that a person is somehow more lucid and politically innocuous than your average goosestepping Hitlerite.

That people find Evola more respectable than Strasserism is more a sign of snobbery than anything else.

as far as i can tell the problem with the everest ascent is that it isn't lethal enough. ban all mountaineering technology not available in the year 1955 and watch as the bourgeoisie breaks itself trying to get over a giant rock like a kind of inverted sisyphus
