" (Julius Evola in Revolt Against The Modern World)
The modern world has case broken away from all historical awareness whereas "traditional" structures, for example the Greco-Roman or the Irano-Indian, were organized on the basis of their awareness of their own belonging, belonging that is, to the "eternal" unchanging cycles of human history.
The characteristic of the modern Age, which can be equated with the "Age of Iron", the "Kali Yuga", outlines and forseen in nearly all pre-modern societies, is the loss of identity and the rise of collectivism, a characteristic of Bolshevist and Western societies alike.

 The utility of force in a world of scarcity.
From the dawn of modern history to the mid-twentieth century, relations between states were conducted in an atmosphere darkened by the ever present possibility of violence.
Violence on the scale of the world wars would ravage the property coveted by a rational aggressor so completely that it would scarcely be worth acquiring, and if anything other than extraction of basic resources were expected, the cooperation of the subject population would be nearly impossible to elicit.
In the developing world outside China, however, the average number of children per family is still 4.4, and replacement levels of fertility are not expected to occur in India until 2030 and in Africa until 2050.(53) If Luttwak's hypothesis is correct, these societies should remain more prone to violence until that stage is reached.

There is certainly a need for this in the modern world, but it is not, nor has it ever been a Celtic ideal.
Most modern westerners are taught the value of humility and self-effacement, and through the less reputable branches of the Christian church, are taught that all pride is a grave sin.

The Crisis of the Modern World (Guenon, Rene.
One central tenet of Traditionalism is that all of the world's traditions issue from the same source (a divine source) and can be found to be universally present across all ancient cultures, a philosophical view termed perennialism.
Guenon's most popular books, among which are _The Crisis of the Modern World_ (1927) and _The Reign of Quantity and the Sign of the Times_, build a philosophical and metaphysical case against the modern world exemplified in the West's fascination with science and technology at the expense of traditional religious values.

 The Truth Seeker - Those Who Were Inspired to Hate the Modern World
He began writing "Against the Modern World: Traditionalism and the Secret Intellectual History of the 20th Century" (Oxford), thinking that it would be a study of Islam in the West, since many traditionalist figures were converts to Islam.
One of the central documents of traditionalism is a relatively brief book, first published in 1927, "The Crisis of the Modern World." Its author, René Guénon (1886-1951), born in Blois, France, to Catholic parents, had been a student of mathematics but soon turned to theosophy, Masonry, medieval Christianity, Hinduism and, finally, Islam.
Sedgwick shows that inscribed in its origins is the belief that truth could only be attained by overturning the modern world and its Western host; moral considerations and human consequences are treated as irrelevant.

SPAIN - "Resentment against usury combined with the suspicion that the Jews were using their influence to thwart the reconquista, or take control themselves of the already reconquered regions with the secret help of the Moors led to the riots of the late 14th century.
A school education is a luxury all over the world at that time, and very few Russian children can afford it; as a result Jews become the best-educated part of Russian society, and their power increases significantly.
The cultural anthropologist trudges off to the Third World and lives with a primitive people to 'study their culture.' This of course provides a lot more opportunity to focus on the aspects of a primitive culture that tend to support the anthropologist's socio-political world view.

The terminal crisis of the modern world began in the 7th to the 5th centuries B.C. There were assaults against traditions all over the world at that time, but in the West, particularly in Greece, the assault was most acute and successful.

It is difficult to see how in such world order the UN can play any role, except as a rubber stamp of approval of anything the US administration might wish to undertake.
The US did not object to using the UN as a rubber stamp legitimizing their war, but now the Europeans (France, Germany and Russia) want to use the UN for its intended purpose, as an instrument of preventing wars, rather than of legitimizing wars.

 S Y N T H E S I S - Revolts Against the Modern World
It was this climate of grass-root revolt against modern rationalism and secular humanism that saw a boom in literature on occultism, mysticism, alternative cosmologies, para-normal and super-natural phenomena as well as 'journeys to the East' both metaphorical and literal.
In the introduction to The Revolt Against the Modern World Evola gives his own account of the principles on which the work is based.[73] Having dismissed any concessions to the 'corpse wisdom' of the positivist tradition, he anticipates the anathemas which will be used by hostile critics: 'arbitrary, subjective, fantastic'.
What results from the license to roam through the store-houses of the world's anthropology, mythology and esoteric doctrines unencumbered by conventional standards of evidence or 'objectivity' is the characteristic trait of all Evola's writings: a tone of unassailable authority in the revelation of eternal truths corroborated by a seemingly inexhaustible supply of quotations and references.

Modern men, according to Dostoevsky, often fail to act in morally appropriate ways to help the world and themselves (for example, to save the whales, to end homelessness, to establish world peace, to feed the orphans of Calcutta).
Beginning on page 1132, he starts telling a story of a grudge he develops against a military officer who picks him up and puts him politely to one side instead of throwing him through a window, thus refusing to acknowledge his participation in a tavern fight.
Later on page 1149, he thinks to himself, "Now's the time to throw a bottle at the lot of them." But instead he tells us, "I grabbed a bottle and…poured myself another full glass." Dostoevsky himself was not an alcoholic, but he was addicted to gambling and had a direct personal understanding of addictive behavior.

The world's political and intellectual elite were forced to retreat from a refusal to believe it possible, to a refusal to believe it probable, to a shocked recognition that it had already occurred in less than a decade.
These philosophers of modernity, from Spinoza and Locke to Kant and even Hegel, spoke not simply of human rights but emphatically of "natural rights," issuing in moral "laws of nature and of nature's God," and accompanied by such foundational concepts as the "state of nature," the "social compact," and the "categorical imperative." (Pangle, 1992).
A hatred for the modern and the successful as well as a sneering, derisive but ultimately impotent protest against the rise of the commercial age marks the current public debate.

 revolt agains the modern world - Stormfront White Nationalist Community   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Things have reached such a low point today that I wonder who would be capable of assessing the modern world as a whole, rather than just some of its particular aspects (such as "technocracy" or the "consumer society"), and of understanding its ultimate meaning.
In order for this to happen, it is necessary to leave the deceptive and magical "circle" and be able to conceive of something else, to acquire new eyes and new ears in order to perceive things that have become invisible and mute with the passing of time.
The key is to remove the jew from positions of power the world over, and then gradually, and this is important, gradually reinstate our old values and traditions- those of a healthy white society.

BookkooB: Revolt Against the Modern World - Julius Evola
But what is much worse than all these petty details is that "Revolt Against the Modern World" is actually a symptom of the very disease it pretends to describe: the denial of the True Source of Life, which begins with the hybris of materialism and positivism and ends in the darkness of occultism and magick.
Seeking guidelines upon which they could model their lives, they found in Traditionalism a means to maintain clear distinctions between the normal and the abnormal, the accepted and the unacceptable, the real and the virtual.
