Idk if Crowley was a chud. Definitely full of that good old ambient British imperial racism, but he was mostly an edgelord coked out of his god damn mind
His politics are inconsistent. He's not a political figure.
Definitely very racist as you say. Anti-Hitler, anti-Mussolini.
He also makes statements in favour of anarchy and republicanism somewhere in his huge huge body of work. Interesting writer but not someone you'd look to for politics.
He was rich and climbed mountains. He was definitely a chud.
Dude broke a mans mind with his ass. That's not a good person thing to do
What
You heard me
It's story time
I don't really remember it all that well, but he basically gave ayahuasca to a dude in a cult, then powerbottomed him while the dude was tripping, and he apparently talked so much filthy shit while getting railed, that the guy fucking him wasn't ever the same since. Like he was traumatized.
Powerbottomed his brains out.
I don't think Crowley would have had access to ayahuasca; he died in 1947, Burroughs wrote The Yage Letters in 1963.
Crowley did write The Cactus about peyote, a manuscript that's sadly lost.
Might've been peyote then, its been a long time since I read about it
