Week Six 12/4/15 Julius Evola, Savitri Devi, Marcel Duchamp and the Carrion of Aristocracy

So it seems to me like this:



Has something to do with this guy,  as described on pages 772-773 of this.

But it's more interesting to think about it in terms this lady down here:
                                     



This a radio broadcast by Dave Emory , which leans heavily on the above-linked text.





Which has already brought us to the guy who painted this.

Untitled 1918-1919

Who thought the Nazi's weren't far-right enough, or far enough to the right, or . . . you know. . .

and who's book Ride the Tiger, contains fantastically  grouchy musings on culture 

"There is a well-known intellectual and humanist type who fosters an almost hysterical intolerance for anything referring to the political world-state ideals and authority, strict discipline, war, power, and domination-and denies them any spiritual or cultural value". pg 152 


". . . the polarity between the sexes is diluted, as seen in the conduct οί "modern" life where the youth οί both sexes are everywhere intermingled, promiscuously and "unaffectedly," with almost nο tension , as if they were turnips and cabbages in a vegetable garden . " pg. 200

So unfortunately the only book I could find about him and Marcel Duchamp is in French, but I bet they rubbed shoulders, and I think they probably had a lot in common - hatred of the bourgious , fascination with magic alchemy (though M.D. said this part of work was just a put-on, but I mean - he would wouldn't he?) If anything Duchamp was more sexist then Evola.

But then, it's hard to beat the king. . .
