Dis-United Nations: The Scramble for Power in an Ungoverned World
New York: HarperCollins Publishers, 2020
About a year ago I ran into one of my old Army buddies. He’d been working a job that dealt with “foreign military sales.” That’s the tricky business of selling the export model of American-made military equipment to an ally without giving away some super-secret hardware, while not allowing said ally to use the equipment against another American ally.

Thanks for the review. On a stylistic note I want to plug the traditional meaning of the word ‘distinterest(ed)’ , namely ‘unbiased’; although slightly unwieldy ‘lack of interest’ is a better expression than ‘disinterest’ to indicate a state of inattention and indifference, the adjectival form being ‘uninterested’ . The English language is a constant battlefield, of course, but there’s my shot.
This book seems to have been written from an under-informed perspective. I find it hard to take seriously a geo-political text which doesn’t address the global liberal propaganda machine and its war on family formation and self-replication in European and North-East Asian societies. As for an American civil war playing out without external interference, the last great power civil wars occurred in China and Russia and both were significantly influenced by outside forces. Unfortunately I am struggling to think which powers would be interested in supporting White Americans to reclaim all or a sizeable chunk of their country for their exclusive use, but if they looked like managing it there’d currently be a long queue prepared to thwart them, so that America can continue its slide.
‘I am struggling to think which powers would be interested in supporting White Americans to reclaim all or a sizeable chunk of their country for their exclusive use….’
A consistent feature of much of the past thinking of WN 1.0 is the idea of RAHOWA as the only means of restoring some kind of pro-White political order. But the truth is, advocates of RAHOWA almost universally imagine the result of such a war to be a return to a pre-medieval political economy, at least for some considerable time. I estimate that, conservatively, 60% of the population of North America would die under such conditions within the first year. No water. No food. No heat.
White advocates simply haven’t tried to engage in smart politics. Instead of advocating for the ideas and policy positions that would create the conditions for a restoration of White life and White order, they’ve just engaged in violence and synchronized strolling. Whites didn’t lose the ‘race war’s so much as they never figured out (or implemented) good, effective ways to fight dispossession.
Lately, I think our politics are starting to get smarter as they start so align more with sub rosa – but widely held – views on nullification, secession and local rule.
The purity-spiraling eugenics crowd are parasites on the larger body of White politics. The eugenicists need the mainstream of pro-White politics more than the mainstream needs the eugenicists. Being right doesn’t make you politically viable and the racial purity spiralers have dominated the pro-White conversation for too many decades with nothing of value to show for their prominence.
