Breakaway thread on "isms" and ideologies

[Gillian]

As best as I can work it out, this is how the sub-theme developed out of the theme posited in the OP.

Why only Julius Evola? There are innumerable Bad Ideas out there… belonging both to the Politically extreme Left as well as extreme Right. Fascists such as Hitler and Marxists such as Stalin use the same textbook of Hate to lead their nations into orgies of violence against the vilified “Other”.

Why only Julius Evola

That’s the topic of the thread!!

(@faujidoc1 You’re a moderator and you’re sounding a bit like an apologist here, as well as derailing the focus of the thread.)

Hmmm, it was just a rhetorical flourish to open the post. And for the record I don’t agree with the philosophy of the alt - right, or with any philosophy of hate for that matter.

It’s just that, being Indian myself, I find the entire concept of my culture being co opted in these ways by an alien race downright ludicrous. How on earth can anyone get it all so wrong?
