Dionysos: The Roots of Right-Wing Philosophy 🍇

I am starting a series examining the philosophical basis of right-wing thought. Before Plato & Aristotle, Dionysos was the beginning of tragic thought and philosophy. Dionysos was a god of ecstasy, chaos, and divine madness. Yet beneath the wine and revelry lies something deeper: the spiritual root of right-wing philosophy itself.
In this video, we explore how Dionysian thought shaped the earliest ideas of truth, freedom, and being — and how the tension between order (Apollo) and chaos (Dionysos) gave birth to the Western mind. From Nietzsche’s Birth of Tragedy to the Greek mysteries, this is the untold origin story of philosophy in the eyes of tragedy.
