Dugin is the only thinker—and I cringe to apply this term to him—that Russia produced in decades. They don’t have anybody else with a recognizable name, and it’s all postcolonial wokeness of the lowest caliber. A valenki-clad Frantz Fanon.
The Russian rage isn’t about the NATO. It’s about this. It’s about wanting to be a global player and being utterly unable to live up to your own expectations. It’s about not being able to match the intellectual output of the tiny Poland, let alone the tiny Austria. It’s about not being able to hack it and seething with impotent anger over this obvious fact.

What strikes me as most delirious in this man’s verbiage, which may pass as thinking in Russia though it is anything but, is that he is himself “white”: if he followed through with his “reasoning”, he would have no other reasonable option but to off himself.
If the so-called “white race” has lost the right to be something, as he puts it, and there is no reason to support its existence, what’s he doing lying around? What is he waiting for? If being “white” equates with being a nihilist, he should be consistent with his tenet and do us all the favour of disappearing so that he can ultimately prove it.

What he says is so identical to what I hear daily from the similarly white professors that’s it’s not even funny. All this effort just to reproduce the standard leftist American discourse? Poor loser.

“All this effort…”
What effort?!? If you do not have a single functional white male professor, then what the hell is the hiring process creating that problem? DEI is recent, but… ;-D

I was talking about Dugin who is massively promoted as a major contemporary philosopher.

He says he’s more white than (almost) all of us. How does he know? Who is he addressing? And what are “evolians”?
He sounds demented .

He’s preparing the ideological justification for flooding Russia with Indians. People who were praising Russia for being anti-globalist are strangely quiet.

“evolians” = followers of Julius Evola, fascist-adjacent philosopher with Spenglerian view of modernity. Modernity is one big wrong turn but spiritual warrior-cults will rise amid its ruins and remake the world… Dugin’s ideological project is to look for a “fourth way” beyond liberalism, socialism, and fascism, and he draw inspiration from post-Mussolini Evola and post-Hitler Heidegger.

Sorry to find this amusing, but it’s fascinating how even this fits with your Heideggerianism. You said Arendt was the only true philosopher among women, you say Dugin is the only recent Russian thinker, and they are both Heideggerians!

It so happens that there is no thinking, either good or bad, that isn’t Heideggerian. I sincerely don’t know how we can get out of it.
Thank you for the observation. It’s very spot on and important.

I almost have an idea that you want to say Moore but are holding back. I’ll have to think about this some Moore.
