Well, at the very least he shared their anti-Jazzism.

On a similar note, I have a friend who is a die-hard Iranian nationalist who loves Benjamin's works, says kabbalah is similar to Shia Islam.
It all makes sense when you realize the Franks were traditionalists deep down, albeit anti-fascist, left-wing traditionalists. Then again, Evola was also heavily anti-fascist and even said he felt sorry for all the righteous Jews murdered by the Nazis.

Caring for genuine culture is not the same thing as traditionalism — even when confined to the issue of the arts. Adorno composed serial music in the style of the Second Vienne School, Benjamin owned a now famous Paul Klee watercolor painting and both loved Kafka's unique brand of modernist literature.
Only insofar as it conflicted with his aristocratic, anti-populist stance. He championed the SS as a possible vehicle for a rebirth of the religious-military orders of yore.
… Did he? This sounds strange to me considering Evola's fanatical antisemitism. Do you have a source at hand so I can verify this?

All Fascists hated jazz as well, except Benito because deep down he was still a cool socialist who just resented his former comrades

Evola wasn't antisemitic.

He was attacked by revolutionary students™ who were parading pictures of Mao and Che all the time. Probably the sort of idiot who thought the RAF were making revolution.

Boy oh boy…even Adorono couldn't imagine the music USA makes and exports nowdays.
What would you think his reaction would be if he listened to gems such as…youtube.com

What? He clearly was. Just because he thought "some Jews" might be sort of okay doesn't make him not a Jew-hater.

I'm pretty sure half of 20th century contys would go full Islamist today, continental philosophers are some of the most fucked up people in academia
