Re: Ajahn Pannobhasa is disrobing
Well, Junger was not a very good writer, that is for sure -- his WW1 memoirs are outstanding, incredible books and beautifully written, with lucid prose. His magical realism is -- in my opinion -- very boring and over rated. 'Total Mobilisation' is boring and shallow -- Walter Benjamin's critique of...

ceisiwr wrote -- "He was more of a Traditionalist than a Fascist. He considered Fascism just another form of Modernism.'' Possibly -- but what is at the core of Evola's work? Let's get to the nitty gritty of it all -- no need for dog whistling ( I am not implying you are doing so) Evola : Hate....

At last -- some straightforward sanity on the thread amongst all the apologists, evaders and dog whistlers.

Re: Ajahn Pannobhasa is disrobing
Followers of Evola include the British BNP , Nick Griffin, Johnathan Bowden, the far right in Italy, lots of underground far-right industrial bands and occultists -- whose names I won't even mention they are so vile--, and skinheads and holocaust deniers. If that's a good Dhammic scene and good Kaly...

Re: Ajahn Pannobhasa is disrobing
Once again, twist and turn it anyway you want -- I repeat -- "Evola was a fascist -- if you like Evola, you are buying into that. There's no way round it. If you are into Charlie Manson's 'philosophy' then you have to take all that comes with it -- the whole package. Same with Evola. It's an oc...

Re: Ajahn Pannobhasa is disrobing
Why are you talking about Margaret Senger ( whoever she is ) we are talking about Evola. I repeat - "For as long as I remember, Evola, Junger, Eliade -- the 'dog whistle' crowd love them and love flirting and skirting around the real issues at the core of their thought. It's a kind of hobby for...

Re: Ajahn Pannobhasa is disrobing
Nanavira Thera -- sorry to say - was traumatised by whatever horrors he saw in WW2 , fled to the forests of Sri Lanka, and lost his mind entirely, and committed suicide. No disrespect to Nanavira personally -- the man must have been in agony -- but he's hardly the best representative of a Dhammic li...

Re: Ajahn Pannobhasa is disrobing
''Evola stated that his work belonged to a long tradition of anti-democratic writers who certainly could be linked to fascism—at least fascism interpreted according to certain Evolian criteria—but who certainly could not be identified with the Fascist regime under Mussolini. Evola then declared that...

Re: Ajahn Pannobhasa is disrobing
Bottom line -- why is Dhammawheel airing and excusing and normalising a fascist-racists' views? The dhammawheel search engine shows an interest in his hostile views which goes back quite a while. You can meander around that all you want; I am used to semantics and dialectics, we can pussy foot aroun...

Re: Ajahn Pannobhasa is disrobing
Hey Dhammanando, well my man -- if you want to stand up for a racist fascist -- be my guest. It's up to you. There's really no point in quibbling about it -- he's open about it. Even the title ''the one time I assaulted another monk'' -- what kind of monk places a video on youtube with such a title?...

Re: Ajahn Pannobhasa is disrobing
Why are you so concerned with this monk. Because some of us love the Dhamma and love ahimsa and don't want the Dhamma trampled on by Nazi sympathisers who like Hitler and look down on dark skinned people?
