I agree with the Troy's horse tactics. But can you give me a reference where
Juenger suggest the avoidance of direct confrontation.?
The image that comes to my mind when confronting the modern world is Evola's
ridding the tiger. That's why Evola and Juenger should be read both.

Certainly, your words are clear-sight, and I must agree with you.
We can use EJ as we want (as we are). But, with all due respect I
would like to introduce a new argument:

You talk about the spirit against the titanic forces. Certainly this is
also my view (and position). Where I think your argument falls
down is that you choose a direct confrontation. This is the error
(and the lesson of Der Waldwanger and specially Eumeswill).
When EJ finally understand this situation he became wise ( or old,
to use your word. N.B. you shouldn´t use the word "old" so
contemptuously).  Milosevic could serve here as an example of that
blindness. To fight (and finally win) the titans you should use
completely diferent tactics: what about Troy´s Horse?.
