Great discussion. It bought back memories of my own academic career. I can remember being told by professors to avoid certain theorists and philosophers. One of the most absurd things I was told was to not read original texts like The Prince, Leviathan, etc. because they can be "misleading" and "dangerous" when not taken alongside accepted political norms.
Michael Millerman -- Q. Has Dugin read Peter Sloterdijk . . . Do you know . . . . . . ? Also, have you read Sloterdijk? Do you see yourself creating content regarding Sloterdijk?
Nice of you to bring up the name of another hateful heretic. Johnson was defrocked and excommunicated because of his racism. He has no credibility outside his intellectual pugnacity. I true gilded turd of a mind.
Boas’s work was used in an extremely perverted way in the US, namely the agenda against ethnic identity . But put into the context of of Dugin’s thoughts it has the opposite effect in combatting liberalism as a destruction of identity.
Alexander Dugin borrows his entire repertoire from the German Conservative Revolution and the French and Italian New Right (Alain de Benoist & Julius Evola) far more than from the Eurasianist circles of the emigration. With Philosophy and Metaphysics thrown in which Dugin was influenced by the work of René Guénon and he was heavily influenced by the Pamyat movement and his best friend Yuri Mamleev. Dugin's Eurasianism (Neo-Eurasianism) is far from the original classical Eurasianism that was created by the founding fathers. I recommend the book Between Europe & Asia it goes into the history of the origins, theories and legacies of Russian Eurasianism.
Dugin is a philosopher-for-hire. He used to do pretty well developing an ideology for the Kremlin... But then he thought himself to be indispensable, which is a mistake in Russia.

Lol those are standard texts on most History of Political Thought courses.
I enjoy listening to Michael Millerman. It saddens me to admit that I only learnt about him after the assassination of Darya Dugina.
It would be nice to see you chat with Edward Dutton or even with the big players like Dave Rubin!
Can’t tell if your being sarcastic, I mean Dave Rubin is popular, but a big player? Not sure if that’s the right move.
Ew

I don't know whether Dugin has read him. I don't believe I have seen his name come up in anything I've seen by Dugin. I have not read Sloterdijk.
RIGHT?
Have you delved into Matthew Raphael Johnson's work on Dugin?
No I haven't, sorry
@@millerman I strongly encourage you do.

Where's Kantbot
Dugin's Boasian tendencies are quite bad but he gives a great outsider view of western civilization and it's state.
Boas’s work was used in an extremely perverted way in the US, namely the agenda against ethnic identity . But put into the context of of Dugin’s thoughts it has the opposite effect in combatting liberalism as a destruction of identity.
What do you mean they are quite bad?

I think the guy on the left went crazy not too long after this interview. you can kind of see some neurotic behavior in this one
I'm sorry to hear that anything bad happened to him. I enjoyed our conversation.

His nose leans to the right (your left) and you can never unsee it.
