"Y-you see they were really not right wing... they didn't fit into the left-right dichotomy, they were just products of their time! T-they would be disgusted by people calling them right wingers! Since they did not echo the exact sentiments of right wingers in 2019 verbatim there is NO WAY you can say they were truly right-wing. Men of their intellect surely would not have believed those things in the modern day. B-besides, they weren't really the geniuses people say they were, here's [one mediocre book by an otherwise genius author/poet/philosopher]"
>[writer/philosopher] was vaguely liberal or even an unironic Nazi like Heidegger that contributed to continental philosophy
"Wow. A true genius. This just goes to show that if [writer] were alive today, he would be listening to Chapo and posting on /leftypol/. Any idiosyncrasies from the modern left surely would have been ironed out.
Why are there no good conservative authors? Right wing literature? LOL!!! Conservatives don't read."
Carlyle alone is enough to make that whole argument seem ridiculous
Hudson Perry
He would have been a chapocel today. Right wing intellectuals don’t exist
Owen Myers
He was extremely reactionary for his own time, more reactionary than most of the famous thinkers for 200 years before him. He would not have been a chapocel or anything of the sort
Eli Watson
Borges was against Nazism and racism.
Nathan Carter
Would Hitler be a chapocel?
Charles Stewart
Nabokov was a classical liberal, not right-wing. He was also a garbage writer and a degenerate, so I'm glad he isn't one of our guys.
Oliver Richardson
Carlyle also hated land owning aristocrats, church establishment, and industrial corporations. He saw the French Rev as divine punishment on the royalty and border-line advocated class war.
Levi James
See? OP vindicated
Ethan King
eliot just distrusted jews, nothing unusual about that. he was the ultimate larper but not a fascist larper.
Robert Ward
Partisan politics were a mistake
Mason Sanders
They just keep doing it. They can never admit a right winger was a genius. They were either an overrated hack or “aykshually they wrote about the class struggle and blah blah blah...” like every right wing movement was in favor of aristocracy.
It’s so intellectually dishonest it makes me disgusted.
Xavier Hernandez
Ah I see. He wasn’t a “real” anti semite. He just thought jews were shady and untrustworthy. I’m sure it was actually all a joke.
Christopher Rogers

Sebastian Thomas
who are you quoting?
Landon Perez
I just what to point out using >who are you quoting as an attempted "gotcha" only outs yourself as a massive newfag. Using greentext to tell stories and >be me outdates using greentext to quote by quite a bit. Incidentally the second post is a direct quote from OP.
Andrew Mitchell
if you were quoting the OP then you should have quoted the OP, i know you weren't quoting me because i wrote nothing like that in my post.
Jayden Ramirez
I am quoting the OP because he basically preempted your response.
Joseph Moore
that quote has nothing to do with my post.
Sebastian Bennett
>he wasn't a real anti-semite
Wyatt Stewart
just being an antisemite doesn't make you "raving" the way the OP describes these writers makes them sound like they were all ultra fascists pushed to the extreme of the right wing, they were not. they were all right wing but only pound, celine, heidegger, and maybe schopenhauer would really fit most of those adjectives.
Wyatt Moore
What a faggit post OP. The guy on the street is obviously you.
