V sobotu 11. března jsem měl to potěšení připojit se k členům Identitás Generáció (Generace Identity), jedné ze dvou maďarských poboček evropského identitárního hnutí (tou druhou je Identitesz), při jejich první akci rozdávání potravin budapešťským bezdomovcům. Identitáři se touto akcí zařadili do bohaté a rozmanité mozaiky nacionalistických stran, skupin a aktivit, jimž se dnes v Maďarsku tak daří. (more…)

John Morgan talks about the prospects for uniting religion and ethnonationalism, as well as the inauspicious history that the two have with each other, in this video from the 2023 Counter-Currents Spring Retreat. The text of the talk, including links for more information, is here. (more…)
The only genuine traditional form of society: one ruled by a nobility that is guided by a priesthood.

The following is the text of a talk that was given at the recent Counter-Currents Spring Retreat. The video can be seen here, or below.
Cyan asked me to speak on this topic, and before I begin, I just want to clarify something, because when it comes to these matters I’m overly pedantic. But historically speaking, ethnonationalism and religion don’t go together. This is because the nation-state itself, which was born out of either the French Revolution or the Second English Civil War, depending on who you ask, has always been secular and opposed to any mixing of politics and religion.

Today is Earth Day, which has been an occasion to call for conservationism and environmental protection since it was first celebrated in America with bipartisan support in 1970, in response to the Santa Barbara oil spill of 1969. Although in recent decades environmentalism has come to be identified with the political Left, taking stewardship of the Earth and seeking harmony in the relationship between man and nature has traditionally been an issue of the Right.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán set himself a very high rhetorical bar with his speech in Transylvania in July. In one sense it could be seen as a sort of “coming attractions” for his Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) speech in Texas, which he gave less than two weeks later. (more…)

On Monday, New York City’s Emergency Management agency released a short video (linked below) intended to advise residents on what to do in the event of a nuclear attack. The video rattled some, who questioned why it was being released now. While I think the reason for that is obvious, for me the video is more interesting in its utter ridiculousness, which I will detail here, as well as for what it says about how our rulers view themselves.

Jak jsem uvedl ve svém předchozím článku, kde jsem proběhnuvší maďarské volby zasadil do širšího kontextu, očekávání pravice byla skromná. Průzkumy sice naznačovaly, že Viktor Orbán a jeho strana Fidesz s největší pravděpodobností budou vládnout i čtvrté volební období v řadě (celkově páté), ale průzkumy se často mýlí. Mnozí se obávali, že levicově-liberální opozice, která poprvé vystupovala jako jednotný blok, by ho mohla sesadit, nebo přinejmenším snížit podporu Fideszu a upřít mu nadpoloviční většinu v parlamentu, které se těší nepřetržitě od roku 2010.

As I related in my previous article explaining the background to yesterday’s national election in Hungary, expectations on the Right were modest going into it. While the polls indicated that Viktor Orbán and his Fidesz party would most likely win a fourth consecutive term in office (his fifth overall), polls are often wrong. Many feared that the Left-liberal opposition, which for the first time was acting as a united bloc, could unseat him, or at the very least reduce Fidesz’s support and deny them a supermajority in Parliament, as they have enjoyed continuously since 2010.

This Sunday, April 3, Hungarian voters will go to the polls to decide whether or not to give Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his Fidesz party a fourth consecutive term in office (which would be Orbán’s fifth term overall counting his first in 1998-2002; his present term has made him the longest-serving Prime Minister in Hungary’s history).
