thinking about the death of hannah lynch. she was the daughter of the christ's college cambridge graduate mike lynch with whom she died when their private yacht sank. she was 18 years old, was particularly /lit/erate and had an offer from trinity college oxford to study english literature
>Hannah had recently finished her A-levels and was looking forward to taking up a place studying English at the University of Oxford.
>“By age 16, she’d read Joyce, Faulkner and Nabokov … She loved literature, learning and life. She was so excited to start studying English at Oxford, a goal she had worked so hard towards. When she got her place, she sought out every single member of the Latymer upper English department to thank them individually and give them a hug!”

Same. I'm going through a phase where I can't stop reading him. There is an English translation of Visit to Godenholm done by Annabel Moynihan and published in a limited illustrated edition by Edda Publishing. I think Actaeon Press offers a version as well, but I'm not sure who the translator is.

>>23728947

The reviews mention typos. Unfortunately, I think that's a trend with independent right wing publishing. The 1929 version of Storm of Steel has the same problem (typos). A little editing could go a long way.

I am probably not the kind of person you expect or want to answer this. But, meh. I can not speak for religion but my worldview has shifted considerably from the mainstream (Left or Right). I began wanting to appreciate qualities like obligation, duty, self-discipline. I read of the Roman Centurion who refused to abandon his post as Pompeii was flooded with lava and fire, I wanted that unknown soul to be my role model. I saw the picture of the fat asian man carrying his tennis shoes while another man carried his wife and child, I was disgusted with him and did not want to be him.

Call it Far-Right, Fascism, National-Socialism, personally I lean towards the last one. What this worldview has done for me is allowed me an enforceable set of beliefs and values to adhere to. First in my personal life, then professional and in the end public. It did not happen swiftly, rather it was a gradual shaping over two to four years to notice any change. After that it has been ongoing. I was able to do this by reading books that align with this view and gradually, over time, internalizing what their morality was, then apply it to myself first and then outward to the world around me.

It sounds stupid, but it manifest as simple things at first. Autarcky, self-sufficiency, is a proto-typical authoritarian premise and so I began to find ways to apply that to myself. Cooking and cleaning, with these two things one can change their entire surroundings. It sounds quite stupid, perhaps it is, but viewing these simple things from a different perspective motivated me to do them and the results gave me a sound foundation to build off of. What followed was rejecting commercialism and economic minded thinking. This allowed me, over time, to cut out fast food, modern media, tv, video games, movies, the news and all manner of things. Gradually I found myself with more free time. With little to do indoors, I began going out. I began walking first, this went to running and soon I was doing hiking. From there life became better, spiritually, mentally and physically.

I have thought hard about what it was that allowed this to happen. I thought perhaps it was just falling upwards through life? Maybe that I got a lucky break and things just improved after that? But no, there was a conscious decision to reject most aspects of life that many of us find repugnant and replace them with that which I desired to see.

>>23728448

>>23728968

>>23728981
Any recommendations on good Jünger secondary literature?

>>23728986
Off the top of my head, no, and I don’t save them or anything. But there is a guy who is a Junger scholar that has done a few interviews on the Hermitix YouTube channel and I know that YouTuber is a fan of Jünger as well. He really appreciates the sort of phases of Junger from the sort of fashy front soldier phase all the way through to the sort of eternity-as-my-polestar anarch and Catholic junger.

Some ass hole blew through a stop sign and then brake checked me when I honked. I've been seething about it all day. I'm having violent daydream fantasies. Fucker lives in my neighborhood too. Might start shit with him later.

I've listened to this lad a few times, on figures like Caryle, Spengler and Junger. He still sits in a fairly Liberal/Democratic worldview, so all his views are couched in those blinkers.

If I had to be honest, I would think that anything he said post-War had the treat of punishment and censoring. I think that during the that short period between the two wars we have his most accurate, honest and articulated views of his life. He expressed himself openly, albeit still guardedly, during the youth of a new movement that embodied much of the hopes the Right-Wing/Nationalist Movement. He even states that the NS movement is still in it's becoming stages and will grow and find itself as it goes on.

As a disciplined man, unused to wild emotion and fanfare, this may be read as an endorsement as much as anything. But I am very biased, I am >>23728972

Eroticism works by teasing you and hiding things from you. An exposed pussy is pornographic whereas an a hidden or partially revealed pussy or pair of tits is more erotic. Religions have also given value to hidden objects for some reason

>>23729164
I really enjoyed reading your write-up above. I suspect that deep down I am probably a National Socialist, but a part of me still wants to explore and be open to new possibilities. I suspect that Jünger had similar feelings and that's what I sense in his writings. But I think you're spot on in saying that everything he wrote post-war had a flavor of censorship. I think the most we know for sure is that he was anti-democratic his entire life. Based Codreanu quote btw. I read his book earlier this year and it's amazing.

>>23729164
You’re completely off the mark. He actually said he was regretful of many of the things he wrote at that time but admires the courage he had. He came to despise a lot of the views he endorsed then and at one point was extremely worried that the NS movement was so bad it would actually discredit a conservative exit from modernity. He became increasingly interested in Leon Bloy and converted to Catholicism before he died as well.

>>23729234

>>23728334
>do you think i should just talk to her instead?
Leave her alone you dumb motherfucker, her husband just died

I know this will sound fucking stupid to most of you, but do some of you feel "cheated" by escapist media? For example, I was very fond of anime and video games, but now I only feel this very bitter feeling of disappointment and regret that operates on different levels.
Consuming those products did something to my mind I couldn't notice before. It feels like being bombarded 24/7 with propaganda to the point it becomes as natural as water is to the fishes. I really did let anime and video games mess with my head and shape my reality.
So of course there's the initial dissilusionment of finding out that nothing you see in those dumb cartoons for lonely teens is real or close to real. Nothing in life is as easy or as rewarding as vidya. Real life is unpredictable, scary, dull. But now I've moved past that and into a sort of disillusionment that goes into the notion of entertainment itself.
I knew none of that was real, but there was something real in that interaction between me and the media product. Some connection between me and an imaginary world I built piece by piece through obssessive consumption of media, through online discussion and picture hoarding, through fantasizing and writing. But there was nothing at all.
It feels like climbing a very high mountain and finding nothing at all, and looking down there's just a barren wasteland where you thought there was a lush forest. It was all an illusion, all of it. A spectacle of sound and light fabricated for the masses made me feel, made me think, made me live a god damned lie.
And now I am here in the real world. Boots to the ground. The scary and dull world I tried hiding from for so many years. And there's such a raw intensity to the dullness of things I had never appreciated before. So much more to the horror lurking around each corner or the dullness of life for the modern man. I can see potential in the materials that consitute the bare ground I walk on without any illusions beyond what my eyes can see. And although I am a witness to the great magnitude of existence, I feel angry at the industries that made me buy into a world that doesn't exist, never did and never will; industries that made me develop hopes, dreams, ideas based on nothing but slop aimed at the lowest common denominator. I feel angry at myself for believing such terrible lies. I had a god, but when I experienced the vacuity that exists beneath all its glow I couldn't feel anything but contempt.
Does any of it make any sense? I don't know. I guess all I know is I wasted a lot of time and energies on distractions that tried to be more than that.

>>23729558
I don’t have some big detailed response for you, but what you’re saying here does resonate with me. I don’t personally feel inclined to blame the industries that produced this entertainment content. I don’t feel wronged by them, really. But I do recognize the feeling that this mass consumption of escapist media in my adolescence had a profound (and mostly bad) effect on my psychology.

I’m left to wonder about the next generations. The zoomers and the gen-alphas. How will their adolescent entertainment experiences shape the way they see the world? Will their affinity for stuff like tiktok and skibidi toilet or whatever lead to much worse results than our generations? Or is it all just the same slop at the end of the day?

That's pretty funny. He mirrors a lot of reactionaries today. I was in some NS circles back in the day and a lot of the guys backed off and found Orthodoxy or Catholicism. I wouldnt say anyone "moderated" per se as everyone who changed course is still an anti modern reactionary. I myself became a low church Protestant, which is funny in a way.
I was just talking to my dad today and he blamed the Germans for being so autistic that they basically ruined any chance of an anti liberal movement. It's not an uncommon sentiment among more honest, non kosher, conservatives.

Cute girls are symbolic of Sophia

A girl seemed very eager to talk to me in a casual way, making jokes and exasperations about difficulty of classes and divulging minor personal details and whatnot. My first thought: she's attracted to me. Immediately I imagined her, lonely, disconnected, hoping for that rose tinted uni life of camaraderie and romance which she has hitherto been unable to obtain, a hope which my presence can transform beyond dream and into reality. A day later, I have just realised how queer it is for me to have imagined her love for me not as a result of any attribute of myself, but a product of a shitty situation. Speaks volumes for my confidence - and yet with that dim confidence I (possibly) unjustly believe she's attracted to me. Speaks volumes for my arrogance. I mean, the way she engaged with me, while proactive, was no different than how a couple of guys here have engaged with me. Mayhaps it is that she wants a relationship, but merely a friendly one; by no means should I assume it's romance she seeks.
However, it is worth noting that, in terms of guessing people being attracted to me, I'm 2 for 2. However however, this is probably selective memory at play, a product of that arrogance I mentioned.
Either way, the act of mulling this over is fruitless (I haven't the balls to do anything), so i'd best abandon it. Plus, mentally going in argumentative circles makes me feel schizophrenic.

Jünger is an enigma to me and I won't lie, part of my enjoyment in reading him is the subtle political remarks that he seems to include in all his works. There seems to be an interest in removing Jünger from any association with the far right. But I sense that the matter is a little more complicated and censorship does play a role. I want to know Jünger's private thoughts and unfortunately I think there is a disconnect between those thoughts and what he felt comfortable communicating to the public. And I'm not trying to paint Jünger as pro-NS, I just think the matter is more complex. Young Jünger lingers in old Jünger.

I've landed on planet Earth.

When they think it's about them but it's not, but they accuse you of being obnoxiously proud and full of yourself anyways, you might have discovered something worth noting.
