Recommend some forceful and brilliant ANTI-TECHNOLOGY writers.
They can also be pro-nature and pro-tradition in general.
The more radical, the better.

Is he worth reading, or is he just a lunatic?
>I consider the “White nationalists” allies when they refuse modernity, the global oligarchy and liberal-capitalism, in other words everything that is killing all ethnic cultures and traditions. The modern political order is essentially globalist and based entirely on the primacy of individual identity in opposition to community. It is the worst order that has ever existed and it should be totally destroyed. When “White nationalists” reaffirm Tradition and the ancient culture of the European peoples, they are right. But when they attack immigrants, Muslims or the nationalists of other countries based on historical conflicts; or when they defend the United States, Atlanticism, liberalism or modernity; or when they consider the White race (the one which produced modernity in its essential features) as being the highest and other races as inferior, I disagree with them completely.
>More than this, I can’t defend Whites when they are in opposition to non-Whites because, being White and Indo-European myself, I recognize the differences of other ethnic groups as being a natural thing, and do not believe in any hierarchy among peoples, because there is not and cannot be any common, universal measure by which to measure and compare the various forms of ethnic societies or their value systems. I am proud to be Russian exactly as Americans, Africans, Arabs or Chinese are proud to be what they are. It is our right and our dignity to affirm our identity, not in opposition to each other but such as it is: without resentment against others or feelings of self-pity.
>I can’t defend the concept of the nation, because the idea of the “nation” is a bourgeois concept concocted as a part of modernity in order to destroy traditional societies (empires) and religions, and to replace them with artificial pseudo-communities based on the notion of individualism. All of that is wrong. The concept of the nation is now being destroyed by the same forces that created it, back during the first stage of modernity. The nations have already fulfilled their mission of destroying any organic and spiritual identity, and now the capitalists are liquidating the instrument they used to achieve this in favor of direct globalization. We need to attack capitalism as the absolute enemy which was responsible for the creation of the nation as a simulacrum of traditional society, and which was also responsible for its destruction. The reasons behind the present catastrophe lie deep in the ideological and philosophical basis of the modern world. In the beginning, modernity was White and national; in the end, it has become global. So White nationalists need to choose which camp they want to be in: that of Tradition, which includes their own Indo-European tradition, or that of modernity. Atlanticism, liberalism, and individualism are all forms of absolute evil for the Indo-European identity, since they are incompatible with it.
>muh culture
Here in Russia intellectuals see him as a joke.
>>8194098
Yeah, I might be on board with him if the culture for which he advocated were intelligent. Like so many others before him, he can identify the flaws of modernity, liberalism, capitalism, etc., but he cannot provide an adequate prescription for its replacement. In fact, his alternatives are even worse than what we've got.
Gorgias was right.

Anyone up for a Plato reading group?
I can make a chat group on Slack then we can move through his works using the translations in the book Complete Works of Plato as reference. Order of texts will be decided once we get enough members. Ideally we could move to Aristotle after him then other Greeks.
If interest is enough, I'll start sending invites.
>inb4 muh forms
I'm interested
Me too, I never participated in one of those so how does the schedule works?
haven't we done this before
are you that guy from st johns?
i don't get this book
>>8193272
What part, the crystal clear English translation, the well crafted, structured plot, or the amusing and unique characters?
>>8193272
Reading isnt for you, my man
Then don't read it ever again. Just stop reading in general. Bulgakov is a Fucking legend you, on the other hand, are a pleb.
I hope that some anon will see this thread and decide to read this book on a whim. It's good.
>>8193221
I've had this out of the library for the longest time but never even cracked it. Ironically I had to decide today whether to renew or return; I opted to renew. I hope I can start it eventually.
One reason I delayed starting was that I tend to confuse Brian Evenson and Steve Erickson.
>Brian Evenson's fifth story collection constructs a human landscape as unearthly as it is mundane. Replete with the brutality, primordial waste, and savage blankness familiar to readers of his earlier works, Evenson's Kafkaesque allegories entice the mind while stubbornly disordering it. In the title story an obsessive consciousness folds back on itself, creating a vertiginous mélange of Poe and Borges, both horrific and metaphysical.
These claims are too bold for a writer to ever live up to them.
