    Let's just do since the French revolution since that is when Left-Right became a thing, all culture before that was 'right wing' anyway. I'm only going to list people who you could consider to be 'ourguys' too, if you include more milquetoast conservatives and shit it's a wrap. I'm just picking out guys who were racialists, anti-semitic, straight up fascists/nazis or very close philosophically like a few reactionaries.

    Philosophy

    • Hegel, Heidegger, Spengler, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Evola, Guenon, Chesterton, Gentile, Yockey

    Painting

    • Dali, Lewis

    Poetry

    • Pound, D'Annunzio, Marinetti, Yeats, Campbell, Eliot, Fairburn, Potocki

    Literature

    • Tolkien, Martin, Lovecraft, Lawrence, Hamsun, Williamson, Mishima, Stephensen, Abbey

    Architecture

    • Speer, Johnson (ok his architecture sucks but he was pretty much THE architect of America in the 20th century, wrote for Father Coughlin, and was a Nazi)

    Music

    • Wagner (do you think any of the great classical composers from the 18th-20th centuries were libtards? Chopin, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Schubert etc? Doubtful, but afaik none of them were explicitly folkish socialist or anti-semitic like Wagner so I only included him)

    You could pad this out with a bunch of conservatives, milder reactionaries, and anyone who was religious but you get the point. Pretty much everyone who made anything that is actually beautiful has been 'right wing'. Can you even think of a single beautiful thing you've seen that follows leftist/liberal principles? They are inherently against beauty which is why it's all about abstraction, interpretation, and individual expression lol.

    I think it's more that for every thinker of the Right you have several degenerates like De Sade (incredibly degenerate even for our time) or Foucault, or people whose views enable degeneracy even if they were personally relatively normal, like Rousseau and Voltaire. Both of whom the last King claimed destroyed France through their inspiring of Robespierre and other revolutionaries. This then leads people to believe that Leftists are more intelligent or something along these lines. Of course this discounts that many of these "Left" thinkers are far-right today, like Proudhon. It also discounts how many Leftist thinkers are charlatans. Althusser, for example, wrote a book about Marx's Capital, but confessed late in life to only reading Marx's early works, and may have never read Kant or Aristotle, despite lecturing about them.

    People like Comte and Le Play also belong in the Philosophy section, since Sociology was part of Philosophy for many decades after its foundation. Sociology was incredibly conservative until the 1890s or so when liberals like Spencer and Ward came to be its leading figures. German sociology remained largely this way till the postwar period.

    Didn't see this when you posted it, good comment though. I'm just back here because I saw some midwit Smugtony Snarktano was spouting some ridiculous nonsense on twitter.

    He's right about Classical Liberals, but the reason they suck is because they're soulless leftoids. Reactionaries and Fascists are responsible for everything man made and beautiful that has ever existed, it's a really absurd assertion from this moron.

    Where can I learn about this stuff? I don't know anything about these figures.
