To give a summary of the basic ideas of Apollonianism(because it’s entirely divorced from any historical grounding or tangible structure)
REM-racial esoteric moralization, Brahmin‘a thesis is basically that culture and art have a moralizing or demoralizing effect on a race. What he means by this I’ll get too-but he claims basically most western culture is REM-that is it subtly demoralizes aryans and encourages Jews.
Dionysic or Cthonic deities-basically the whole “rising and dying gods” thesis, this idea does have some basis in the study of indo European and near eastern religion, a set of deities tied to rebirth, exuberance, wine, basically wild passion and the lack of restraint. Hence he claims Dionysus and Bacchus are Jewish inventions(despite that Dionysus was worshipped in Mycenaean Greece but Brahmin will literally claim the Jews were there somehow).
Bride gathering cult-the Jews want Aryan genes.
For REM imagine say a story with a character that has a name Brahmin can say is Jewish or Jewish coded(basically any name in the Bible, the entire etymology is shot through), that wins and gets the blonde girl. Let’s call him IDK John, John beats say Brad(who esoterically represents aryans) and gets Stacey. The idea being the Jewish character winning in the plot(even if said character is not remotely Semitic just Brahmin’s own ridiculous Illuminati esque attempt at connecting names)-demoralizes Aryans, and empowers Jews.
How you might ask? Well here’s the kicker it means Jews get sex with Aryan women and the White jock loses.
The entire notion here being that religion and art are not just ultimately instruments of racial warfare but ultimately sexual subversion. Brahmin and his associates have literally claimed that art, philosophy, abstract reasoning in general, even music is basically Semitic-that is it allows the Jew or the proto Jew(as Mark claims Jews emerged as basically the priest caste in western Eurasia*) to subvert Aryan warrior elites. “Any thinking about abstraction is Jewish”. One of them has explicitly said.
*Brahmin’s grasp of history is really really bad. He will use his YouTube conspiracy/Wikipedia scrolling etymology to posit some sort of Jewish influence where it doesn’t exist. And imagines Jewish bards, artists, etc… somehow inventing European mythological tropes and narratives-that actual academics can trace back to the indo European migrations btw.
You’ll note Brahmin rejects the historicity of the Bible, but doesn’t ever say to what degree, (though his supporters have given varied explanations) and is of course a Christ mythicist.
Apollonianism is a mishmash of internet “do your own research” pseudo expertise, some background in older academic ideas(the golden bough, Baeur’s skepticism about the historicity of Jesus-basically just Christ mythicism in general, comic book aesthetics and comical sexual insecurity and anti intellectualism, I’d also tentatively add some basic readings of Gobineau and Alfred Rosenberg’ in particular the latter’s Myth of the 20th century. Though if Brahmin has actually read Gobineau, Rosenberg or indeed Houston Stewart Chamberlain or just online summaries is an entirely open question.
About the only things I would say have some weight is the jesus/Dionysus comparisons-the idea of a god that overcomes death, is connected to freedom, etc… something even early Christian’s acknowledged. That said Brahmin doesn’t engage with the current scholarship on literally anything. Not indo European linguistics, or Jewish history, near eastern archaeology, Christian history, Roman and Greek religious studies, or anything else.
It looks authentic to the uneducated reader-because one Brahmin tries to present himself as authoritative and imperious, and two-he uses Wikipedia a lot. But if you actually go through the weeds, as well as use a bit of common sense, you’ll find it’s an utterly vacuous hole of nonsense swallowed by atheists that are also into Roman aesthetics and are racists.
In short it’s a mishmash of ideas and aesthetics-mostly nonsense with just the smallest smidgeon of historical awareness and basic mythographic comparisons(you don’t say Bacchus and Dionsysus are similar) that it appeals to Grug retards. Who find the higher pursuits of life effeminate and boring.
@TheBigRevelator, long ramble but I can never talk enough about how bad Apollonianism is.
