Jorjani's ideas have been described by journalist Olivia Goldhill as influenced by Dark Enlightenment philosophy, particularly that of Nick Land. [32] In a 2023 Break the Rules livestream, Jorjani denied being influenced by Land. [33] [ non-primary source needed ]
The Prometheist Manifesto
In "The Prometheist Manifesto", Jorjani criticised the modern concept of God as a "jealous and tyrannically wrathful God-Father, archetypally identical to Zeus". [34] Instead, Jorjani supported the idea of the myth of Prometheus as the creator of Man and likened the fire that he stole from Olympus as a symbol of the power of technology and science to free humanity from scarcity and ignorance.
In the Prometheist Manifesto, Jorjani endorsed the claim that COVID-19 was created as a bio-weapon at the Wuhan Virology Laboratory in China. [35] [ non-primary source needed ]
Views on white nationalism
Speaking at a conference organized by Richard Spencer in 2016, Jorjani referred to the collapse of the Sasanian Persian Empire as the "first and greatest white genocide." [7] In 2018, Jorjani identified himself as an "Iranian Zionist". [36] [ non-primary source needed ] Jorjani has written in support of eugenics and has claimed that Iran cannot culturally, technologically, and scientifically advance unless it restores its "pre-Arab and pre-Mongol genetic character". [7] In 2017, he predicted that Muslim citizens and immigrants would be deported from Europe by 2050. [37]
He has however stated that he deliberately infiltrated the Alt-Right movement at the behest of individuals who were very close to the Donald Trump 2016 presidential campaign to steer it away from Spencer-style White Nationalism. [38]
In 2017, Jorjani stated that he is not a white nationalist or racist. [15] He identifies himself as a progressive and a feminist. [17] After resigning from AltRight, he stated that the organization was "reduced, basically, to a platform for organizing alt-right rallies attended by some very questionable individuals who I want not very much to do with". [15]
According to Harrison Fluss and Landon Frim writing in Jacobin , Jorjani has promoted various antisemitic and white nationalist fringe conspiracy theories, despite disputing the label:
Jorjani's writings, political activities, speeches, and media appearances have drawn charges of antisemitism and Islamophobia. In one instance, he suggested that Yahweh and Allah were actually space aliens who enslaved their believers and tricked them into committing genocide. He has openly characterized certain high-ranking Nazi officials as akin to supermen with psychic powers. While Jorjani has vehemently denied the charges of bigotry leveled against him, his public statements do make you wonder. [39]
Iran and geopolitics
Jorjani has said that he was involved in an attempt to build a new Persian Empire, which he claims was lead by organisation known as the "Iranian Renaissance Organization". With regards to the project Jorjani claimed that the new Iran would be in a struggle against a nascent Islamic Caliphate. [40] Specifically he has said about this project that it was intended:
to create an economic and security corridor from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea and across to the Caucasus. This "Neo-Scythian" Ukraine-based approach to the lon-term revitalization and liberation of Europe [was] linked to a future, post-Islamic Greater Iran via the Caucasus. [40]
Islam
According to Jorjani everything that was supposedly achieved in the Islamic Golden Age was misappropriated from ancient Iranian culture. [41] Furthermore he is critical of the entirety of the Abrahamic Religions, emphasizing that the modern Judeo-Christian West only produces materialism and meaningless technology, while Islam has been a source of tyranny White Genocide. [42]
Furthermore Jorjani is critical of Alexander Dugin for his support for Islam and the Islamic Republic of Iran as part of his goal to spread Traditionalism. [42]
In spite of his criticisms of Islam, he has stated that the origin of Islam is in fact Iranian, specifically the following,:
Islam was the ideological equivalent of a genetically engineered virus designed to inoculate a particular population, which then enters a group with a different genome, a population for which it has not been tailored. Instead of being inoculated, this alien population succumbs to and spreads the disease that the virus was meant to inoculate the target population against. The Mithraic Magi and their Parthian feudal lords had designed Islam to work on the Iranian psycho-social system, with the aim of catalyzing an immune response that would manifest as rebellion against both Islam and any form of totalitarian state religion such as the Sassanian State Orthodoxy. What was supposed to incite Luciferian rebellion in the free-spirited minds of Aryans was swallowed whole by Turks and Mongols. Exactly those characteristics of Islam that were supposed to trigger a response to oppressive hierarchy, conservative litigiousness, draconian discipline and sadistic punishment, appealed to the despotically oriental souls of these Siberian nomads. "Gabriel" did not foresee that. [43]
Belief in psychical phenomena
Jorjani has expressed the belief that "psychical pheonmena as key to developing a postmodern or archaeofuturist science that would deconstruct the distinction between science and spirituality". [44]
