THE ASYLUM
MALCOLM; OR, ON SEPARATION
“But let’s get to that in a moment. First, why do you assume that a second civil war would have to look like the first, with uniformed armies squaring off? It would be much more likely, it seems to me, to look like the Spanish Civil War, in which armed partisans engaged in assassinations and hid among the population.”

CLASSICAL MUSIC AND THE RIGHT
“I always had to turn off such music. It’s an insult to the music and to yourself. It’s worse in other parts of America—imagine looking out now on obese lardmother with mystery mea kid sweating at bus stop. And you listen Rameau while you see this...You will only wish for total nuclear wipeout.”

THE GAY QUESTION
“Did you know that sodomy was a capital offense in most of Ancient Greece? You were executed in front of a hissing crowd of your fellow citizens if you tried any of that stuff. It’s no matter—gay activists in desperate search of self validation continue to project their delusions onto the innocent Greeks, and Christian derangeoids lead on the fags by sputtering and hollering about the pagan world being a den of vice.”

JEWS AND GENEALOGIES OF GROUP NARCISSISM
“Like all forms of early-19th an 20th-century European nationalism, Zionism was racist and exclusionary, bringing it into constant conflict with Black America and “third worldism.””

THE ART OF GOSSIP NO. I
“It seems to me that “spiritual leftism,” “the culture of narcissism,” “the feminization of society” are just different ways of saying the same thing: that in recent lifetimes there’s been a move away from civilization building to the management and administering of its decline. And that this turn of events was justified after the fact by various moral pleas to progressive values like “achieving equality” and “the need for more empathy.”

THE LIFE AND THOUGHTS OF LA ROCHEFOUCAULD
“Rather, they [Rochefouldcauld’s maxims] contain a system of moral psychology that distills and crystalizes and isolates and refines human nature into its constituent elements, and reassembles them into a picture of man as he truly is, even if it is not what theologians or philosophers might hope.”

BLOOD PASSOVER
“There are clear moral panics, in which the accused blandly confess to stereotypical offences unde torture, but there are also cases where alleged witches provide much more specific accounts of their illicit activities in the absence of coercion. Nor does anybody dispute the abundant evidence for contemporary learned interest in ritual magic and necromancy.”

RACE IN AMERICA IN 2020s
“In this, he [Spengler] was very obviously a disciple of Nietzsche (Spengler was actually buried with a copy of Thu Spake Zarathustra). There is man and there is the herd, and even if these two are of the same race, they do not necessarily share “race” in common; they are not even really the same animal.”

THE ART OF HISTORY NO.1
“But the European Man, the one who discovered everything and explored everything and visited all those countries that never visited him...the European Man, he was absolutely forged by war. His constitution is the Iliad, and all those who diverge from that are, in different forms, dead-end people.”

ON THE DEFENSE OF CULTURE
“What does it mean to defend? Culture cannot defend culture, and attempts to defend speech with speech necessarily only either fails, or merely has others overlook it. “To defend” is always the principle of the sword. The act of defending is thus necessarily accompanied by danger, and self-renunciation is essential for defending oneself. Defending peace always requires preparation for violence...”

MANUAL FOR MONARCHY
“As Antonio Gramsci wrote a hundred years ago, “the old world is dying; the new world is struggling to be born.” Gramsci’s new world was indeed born; it grew up; it turned old; and the Asylum reader can sense yet another world struggling to be born.”

THE BARBARISM OF REASON
“Once a firm believer in the Enlightenment and his own talent, these works painted between 1820 and 1823 cannot be considered celebrations of a revival in truth and reason. These works are primarily grotesque, and include the famous Saturn Devouring His Children and The Witches Sabbath, among others.”

GOETHE: PARAGON OF MATURE VITALITY
“But more to the point, Goethe experienced and described the sort of unbridled passion that seems to drive many of these young men now, but did not succumb to it. As T.S. Eliot observed, Goethe’s work combines the vitality of youth with the wisdom of age. This is not to say that Goethe should replace any of the talented authors people are reading now, only that he might supplement them, and offer a corrective to certain destructive impulses.”

A REQUIEM FOR AN ATAVISM
“The true mathematician is an addict, a tyrannical “monster of will” who is cursed with a glimpse of pure power and beauty early in life, and who thereafter is compelled to spend the rest of his days seeking to recapture that infinitely brief moment of pure revelation — of pure valor — as a tortured and compulsive athlete. Schopenhauer justifies his mighty pessimism by comparing the joy of an animal devouring its prey with the suffering of the animal being eaten.”

A BODY WHICH KILLS
“It is evolutionarily impossible that health relies on any of the bullshit invented in the last century since our forefathers could not have reproduced if they all had IBS and only relied on Pfizer to keep their pants clean. The answer must be in a return to traditional, pre-mechanistic conceptions of health and physiology.”
