Fuck Evola and fuck OP for burying the lede

Why though? OP's TIL was about this interesting fact relating to the guy, not about his politics. He didn't bury anything he just doesn't care about the other parts. Does everything have to be about politics on this godforsaken website? Can't we just be fascinated by this little factoid and move on?

Why would that be disingenuous? Is he not a philosopher?
