Women & White Nationalism

Michael Polignano

985 words

French translation here

White Nationalist groups are almost exclusively men’s clubs, and most of the men are bachelors who complain that they cannot find suitable women. Furthermore, those men who are married frequently complain that their wives are indifferent or even hostile to their views about race.

Men, it seems, are far more willing to espouse politically incorrect views about race than women. Read more …

The Dark Side of Progress:
Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals

Richard Hoste

2,003 words

Jonathan Safran Foer
Eating Animals
New York: Little, Brown and Company 2009

Why do we behave morally? There’s reciprocity and looking out for our genes. For many (most, I hope) of us there’s a natural dislike of cruelty. We try not to be responsible for any extra suffering in the world. Humans also desire approval from others and usually being a scoundrel isn’t good for your reputation.

Why I Write

Edmund Connelly

1,598 words

I write because I believe my primary group — Whites of European heritage — is at extreme risk, and — for better or for worse — the most I have now to offer is my virtual pen.

I am fortunate to follow a number of my betters who have written on the question of why we write. Now I can simply repeat that with which I agree. Read more …

Interview with Greg Johnson

Alex Kurtagić

5,206 words

German translation here

1. Being a man of ideas, has literature played an important role in your life? What would you say were the texts that proved key in your personal and intellectual development? And why?

History and philosophy played more of a role in shaping my outlook than literature. In fact, I can’t name a single work of fiction, qua fiction, that has shaped my worldview. Read more …

After a closer look, I realized that I had stumbled onto the new genre that I’ve being hearing about: Amish Porn. They’re a type of romance novel that take place in idyllic American communities.

Independent scholar Robert Strassler has produced far and away the best English edition aimed at the general reader of the work which remains the fountainhead of the Western historical tradition. Let us hope there is still a fit audience out there for it—men, that is, capable of learning what Herodotus has to teach.

Violence & “Soft Commerce,” Part 2

Dominique Venner

714 words

Part 2 of 3

Translated by Greg Johnson

The Internal Logic of “Soft Commerce”

Now that “soft commerce” has been globalized since the end of the 20th century, one must grant that it has the advantage of a plasticity and a capacity for survival enjoyed by few regimes up to the present.

What is Spanish Falangism?

Julius Evola

1,269 words

Translated by Cologero Salvo

Published as “Che cosa vuole il ‘Falangismo’ spagnolo” in 1937.

While the phases of the Spanish Civil War are followed by all with keen interest, less attention is paid to the exact ideas that inspire the revolt of the Spanish national forces against communism: perhaps because many believe that the positive ideological phase, in revolutions, always develops at a later date.

Tamara de Lempicka, Portrait of Tadeusz de Lempicka, 1928

1,458 words

French translation here

One of the great pleasures of being an explicit White Nationalist is that I get to meet other White Nationalists. If you state your views openly and honestly, you will hear from people who actually agree with you, people who will respect you for your views and for your forthrightness. If you spend your life hiding your beliefs—aside from an occasional wink, nudge, or hint—you will surround yourself with dupes or squishy people who would flee from and denounce the real you. I just don’t see the value in that.

Violence & “Soft Commerce,” Part 1

Dominique Venner

1,010 words

Translated by Greg Johnson

Part 1 of 3

Violence is not merely a matter of arms. For half a century, a world system has been imposed, the system of “soft commerce.” Soft as bombs. It dominates peoples under the guise of democracy, breaking down the most sacred customs. This new violence reigns thanks to the drugs of consumption and guilt. It is not, however, without resistance.

A Reasoned Case Against Semitism

P. R. Stephensen

4,728 words

P. R. Stephensen

It is often arbitrarily assumed, by persons who are themselves irrationally prejudiced in favor of Semitism, that Antisemitism is based on irrational prejudices. Probably very few political students appreciate the fact that Politics is an art rather than a science, and that prejudice enters into political judgments, just as it enters into aesthetic judgments. When I say that I like Gruner’s paintings, and that I do not like Epstein’s sculptures, I give verbal expression to value-judgments which cannot be proved wrong, by any process of logic. Read more …

The Jewish War Against Werner Heisenberg

Sam Davidson

2,210 words

Werner Heisenberg: The renowned physicist’s own Jewish colleagues and students eventually plotted his kidnapping, destruction, and murder.

Werner Heisenberg was only twelve years old at the outbreak of the Great War, but he always remembered the feelings of patriotism and ‘selfless exhilaration’ that the war aroused in the German people. Another man would write, “Germany was fighting for her existence, the German nation for life or death, freedom and future.” Werner’s father, an army reservist, was called for duty and sent home due to his wounds in 1916. It was a sense of duty and patriotism that would later prevent Werner Heisenberg from leaving Germany in the days before the Second World War.[1]
