I think Ciorian is interesting to understand as a case study in how an ecstatic nihilism can lead one to embracing all kinds of horrors. Before there was /pol/ recruiting white supremacists and online ISIS pledges, there was a young Ciorian aligning himself with the Nazi-affiliated Romanian Iron Cross. Understanding the draw of his thinking can help one understand the intellectual premise on which disaffected young men and women are seduced further into darkness.

Mechanicism combined with nihilism is a solid foundation for amoral realism. Of you give power to that thinking you'll basically fabricate an opportunist personality that will do social engineering justifying means thought ends. Invariably, genocide will be closely lurking.
