The Philosophy Of Ernst Jünger Storm Of Steel Review 

Thanks I'll see if I can find a copy of this, sounds interesting

I could recommend "Frontsoldaten" by Steven G. Fritz or anything by Kurt Eggers

@Danny III Seconded.

Bataille admired that text of Jünger's. . called it a work of Mysticism..

Thanks sorry for the delay, more videos on junger etc coming soon

Yeah we all miss Toonami from 2001 (watching Gundam Wing, Dragon Ball Z, Outlaw Star etc. after school)

Thanks a lot, I would totally recommend relocating from the West if it's at all possible, as I am much better off financially, psychologically, and physically as a result of doing so. I think that moving abroad is much more complicated now due to travel restrictions but I think that there are still ways to do so out there, as honestly things were basically back to normal here in India just a few weeks ago. When I visited the southern tip of India in Tamil Nadu, I literally counted only one person wearing a mask in an enormous crowd of people there. My own way of leaving the West was through a spouse visa as my wife is a native of India; she applied for a visa to USA after we were married but it was rejected (honestly, they just want to blackmail people for tens of thousands of dollars, as my neighbor had to pay some 10 grand in legal bribes to bring a wife from the Philippines.) I can say that my writing makes a decent income here because the cost of living is so low compared to the West (i.e., 50 dollars per month to rent a small house etc.) Though even better than buying things for cheap has been just growing my own vegetables on the roof and raising my own chickens in the backyard for meat and eggs. I estimate about 80% of my vegetables are home grown and are of a far higher quality than the stuff on the Wal Mart shelf back in the USA. At any rate, I also encourage you to keep up the writing and I look forward to seeing the book when it's released.

I'm not if this is fair. Maybe early on but later in the war some of British propaganda was pretty brutal and dehumanizing, not too different from the WW2 material.

Thank you

I can’t agree there, in the past technology was no where near as destructive and impersonal as it is today, human virtues mattered more, meeting an enemy spear to spear required skill, courage, athleticism etc, loading and firing a shell requires min of these virtues. To suggest that because humans have always utilised technology to varying degrees, that we’ve never been heroic is ridiculous. The destructive capacity of modern long range weapons is hundreds of times more deadly than a musket was, or a spear and sword were, and the virtues to fight using such weapons are much less than face to face with an enemy. There is something far more heroic about a cavalry charge or an open field battle with men testing their metal than modern war which is so industrialised it surpasses courage and virtue. While I agree the past is often over romanticised, it is true that warfare say under Napoleon offered more chance for heroism and glory than say ww1. Or ancient battles were no where near as impersonal and destructive as modern war, generally speaking.

Thanks a lot for the comment, I'll keep this in mind the next time I drink a coffee

I had been considering making a trip to Delhi, Punjab, and the Himalayas this April but of course the travel restrictions just happened to come back when my wife got summer vacation from teaching. She told me though that Punjab is pleasant to visit in the winter as she had went to see her aunt and uncle who live there some ten years ago, so I hope that I could make a trip there this December. I visited Assam and Shillong in December 2018 and actually really enjoyed that cold weather since I have live in this extreme heat in Kerala.

@@chadahaagphilosophychannel7329 yeah, it's very hot in summer. But anyhow things are getting crazy with the ongoing trajectory of events unfolding here. What do you think about this thing called "New world order", a conspiracy theory yeah, Is there any relation between the upcoming collapse and how the elites are getting more desperate than ever before in their endeavours to not let things get out of their hands. Third world and even the most rural villages of Punjab are developing, "growing" more than ever, Here groundwater is on an alarming level, this is a curse especially on a land who got its name by waters (five rivers- punj+aab), 3 of which are dead because of this dam that was considered the "temple of modern India", Bhakhra, which destroyed ecology and arctic species of rivers, and the rest two are no longer here cause it was the Punjab that got partitioned in 47. Apart from that, after the construction of the dam there came this "Green Revolution" thing, which destroyed basically traditional farming, destroyed villages, family structures and traditional values, as for example: it was considered a sin as great to sell milk as to sell ones own son, If you would visit any rural village, it was common for people to give a litre of milk to you. The indigenous dialects of the rural language are long lost. Many of the species of birds, as common as sparrows, and animals went extinct, thanks to the expansion. Main thing that happened with this Green Revolution was the natural seed of plants and crops got horrifically changed, which is now causing Cancer and many allergies and now the crops require artificial fertilisers, which disturbs the natural fertility of land and also of humans. In a nutshell, the traditional system got insidiously changed with the parasitical modern one and Now an entire generation of younger children are migrating to West, as "they don't see any future here", a lot things also get added onto it if you take account of the religion, if you account what happened in 47, in 84, after 84 military attack on highest temporal authority of Sikhism and how an entire generation was massacred and wiped out. And now, with the artificial drugs coming in, natural ones like opium, bhang, which were grown in ones own houses by the ancestors, being banned, rest of people dying from fentanyl, morphine etc doses. Modern India has been a disaster for tradition and nature basically. And now it's getting out of control, with this covid thing, more and more people getting "vaccinated", controlled, house arrested, forced to modernize, migrate to cities, forced to equip with gadgets that monitor you, be technologized. What do you think about the future?

@@gurjotsingh8934 It's unfortunate to hear about all this, I just hope for the best but I suspect that much of this could be a temporary phenomenon and that things fueled (quite literally) by a fossil fuel surplus which won't last. For example, all the artificial pesticides, fertilizers etc. are derived directly from that, and without them people will have no choice except to revert to more traditional methods. Of course, the Midwest in the USA has been so badly mismanaged that it has been predicted it will become something of a North American Sahara which is quite scary

I read the same edition as I used as the cover image, a Penguin edition that was cheaply available in India. I am sorry for not specifying this at the beginning of the video. I think doing another video comparing this to the 1929 translation would be good in the future.
