Current is Alexandre Dugin. Why? He (or at least translator Michael Millerman) explained something I've wondered about for decades: why writers from early church to Enlightenment were so concerned about Nominalism. They seemed to regard it as a heresy leading straight to a chaotic hell.

For Medieval writers, the question was if God is "good", does "good" have an objective meaning? Or do we just label whatever God does as "good". More abstractly, do categories objectively exist, or are they arbitrary and subjective?

"Wokeness" is Nominalism taken to logical conclusions never before seen. Male and female and not objective categories, but arbitrary labels. Human and non-human is a subjective distinction. "Rights" are arbitrary permissions granted by those in power and subject to change on a literal whim. "Pray I do not alter the deal any further." And - it is leading to a chaotic hell right before our eyes.

Now I am pondering a Dugin interview purporting to explain why Putin calls Western elites (WEF, US Deep State,etc) "Satanic". https://www.geopolitika.ru/en/article/alexander-dugin-satanism-putting-matter-spirit

The one sentence summary seems to be, "because they put matter over spirit". But that doesn't make sense to me. I always thought of Satanism as rebellion against whatever God says. If God says, "be fruitful and multiply", then be childless and depopulate. If God says, "let man rule over the Earth", then let Earth rule over man. More recently, if God "created them male and female", then do your best to alter that reality.

A better summary after a reading might be "putting creature over creator". And from that fundamental beginning, reversing all of created order. Dugin says, "virtues are immutable, vices are always progressing". This is the basic nature of Western "Progress" - as C.S. Lewis put it, "I've seen progress in an egg, we call it going bad." Thus Dugin later states, "Satanism must be understood strictly as a strategy of decay, the will to decay, the elevation of decay to an ideology."
