Democracy, too, (he calls it “demo-krazy”) is part of this decadent, unmanly mix.
It’s taken over 50 years for a male reaction to feminism, which has been going on for a few years. Here is part of a review from Thermidor Mag. Weakness has its place, as Nietzsche knew, as he said again in the Genealogy of Morality: “The history of mankind would be far too stupid a thing if it had not had the intellect [Geist] of the powerless injected into it.” BAP wants that stupid history, which never even really existed, to be made actual in the modern world—but isn’t the world stupid enough already? BAP grasps some key parts of Nietzsche’s philosophy, but makes mistakes at the same time. And even at the level of the writing, too, there is no sense of the man himself, only a series of masks and absurdities. Quite the performance, and who can blame him? Shows of affection and enjoyment between men obviously means they’re sucking each other off (or at least that’s the view of our age (do you yet see how sick this age is?)). I might be missing one or two, but those truly are the three stand out personal anecdotes from the book. Bronze Age Mindset is ever original, provocative, and stimulating, and will get your own creative juices going.
BAM leads nowhere except to helping global capitalists continue lining their pockets by producing mercenaries for them, while the same neoliberal hegemony is reproduced. BAM is about shunning all of that to become a pirate-mercenary instead, hired by wealthy interests to protect the dwindling supply of resources as a result of capitalist inequality, hoarding, mismanagement of crises, maldistribution of resources and so on. But I begin to wonder if it wouldn’t once, when young, be a good thing to go through. He understood, perhaps before anyone else in Europe, the dangers inherent in the central assertion of modern culture: that science offers truth without values. The thirst for education, so long thwarted, burst with the Revolution into a frenzy of expression.” Times like these free people of the constraints that they had endured under the old order. The Iron Age being one of most disconnect from the gods and man becoming the most base (from a spiritual level). Here Bronze Age Pervert lays out many things, from the baseness of most of civilization (the ant society) to the strains the yeast form of life puts on good things (from nature to heroes). Thanks for the summary, YoJimbo. He desires the end of the rule of what he calls “bugmen” and “lords of lies” who control liberal governmental, social, educational, and cultural institutions. Will have to check it out.

The problem with vitalism, as with stoicism, is that it makes a foundational principle out of nature—but nature is not just one thing that can have a fixed principle made from it. EDIT: Oh. He understands how the inversion of morality Nietzsche associates with Plato and Christianity, in which weakness became valued and strength became vilified, caused the decadent and hopeless condition of modern life, and that this called for a new perspective—but Nietzsche called for a transvaluation of values, not simply a reevaluation. Mass media throw terms around daily: ‘conservative’, ‘traditionalist’, ‘alt-right’, ‘civic-nationalist’, ‘identitarian’… It’s impossible to agree on what exactly being on the Right even means.
