The RUSSIAN "philosopher" at his finest.

why would anyone look to this guy as an authority on anything?

Maybe because he has a fine sense of humor, coupled with a keen intellect??? It's an unbeatable combination.

His substack output suggests his sense of humor and intellect are those of a 14 year old aspiring incel.

Because whether you agree or not, he brings something to the table — unlike you!

A juvenile man for a simple people.

Funny how you reduced everything to labels and nationality — maybe that’s exactly where serious debate got lost. Dugin might be uncomfortable, but at least he forces us out of our bubble. You, on the other hand, barely say anything we haven’t heard a thousand times already. 😉

Not on substack. Drivel about Macron's wife?

Should probably stick to prognostications about “turnings” and similar intangibles. Hard to be wrong about intangibles because they are intangible.

Philosophical Humour is a niche market and not particularly funny:

Eg.

Socrates: To Do is to Be

Plato: To Be is to Do

Sinatra: Dobe Dobe Do.

Dugin quote...."you glorify homosexual marriages, but when someone says your marriage is homosexual, you scream that it is offensive. But if it is “good,” then how can it be offensive? GOOD POINT! DIE, transgenderism and deep fakes governments....We should raise the bar and get DNA samples from high level politicians or those running for office, etc. to make sure that they are even human! Michelle Obama and Bridget can be the first to submit. Require Bridget to take a DNA test. That would settle it rather quickly. (if He/she doesn't cheat)

This text by Dugin hits the nail on the head in exposing Western pantomime. It’s refreshing to see someone lay it out so clearly:

The manipulation of “fact‑checks,” which often feel more like echo chambers of power than a genuine quest for truth.

The infantilization of public debate, now reduced to sensationalism and rules of symbolic offense — where a meme counts for more than solid arguments.

The civilizational hypocrisy, in which those who proclaim freedom and pluralism take to the courts anyone who dares to satirize the status quo.

This essay is not merely a denunciation: it’s an invitation to critical lucidity. If we want to reclaim serious debate, we must laugh at these contradictions and point out their absurdity with equal force. 

Bravo, Dugin — may this text inspire others not to swallow manufactured narratives passively.

Ah yes, the operative word here, 'infantilization'. It's being going on for as long as I can remember. (Krys)

When you are a public figure like a politician you are fair game for any kind of attack. If you can’t take the heat get out of the frying pan and retire from public life. Maybe this attack can bring them down if it is true. They are fighting it. By bringing a lawsuit this only helps Candace Owens’ brand so it will backfire on Macron.

Why did Mr. Dugin mock Macron right after France recognized Palestine?

Coincidence? Or something deeper?

Common what surprise? We all know that western politicians olygarches cultural and scientific elite are maniacs perverts psychopats lunatics. Macaron can take what he wants into his ass is his rigth and the signal that west is a "demoniacracy".

The Neanderthals have been getting dumped on a lot lately. From being accused of passing bad genetics to modern humans, referred to as cavemen living under rocks in commercials, and being the butt of jokes. Why is there no Neanderthal advocates out there, no NADL? Must be no money or power to be gained in sticking up for a 'group' that's been dead for tens of thousands of years.
