Fier ou coupable d’être blanc

Michael Polignano

Fidus, Lichtgebet, 1894

1,606 mots

English original here; Slovak translation here

Aujourd’hui, aux Etats-Unis comme dans la plupart des pays du Monde blanc, on dit au petit enfant blanc, à peine en âge de comprendre le langage, qu’il doit se sentir coupable des crimes de ses ancêtres. Coupable d’avoir découvert, conquis, mis en esclavage et tué des non-Blancs à travers le monde…quitte à ce qu’il se perdre en chemin. Coupable, non de ses propres crimes, mais de crimes commis par d’autres personnes de la même race que lui. Read more …

Les femmes et le Nationalisme Blanc

Michael Polignano

1,134 words

English original here

Les groupes nationalistes blancs sont presque exclusivement des clubs d’hommes, et la plupart de ces hommes sont des célibataires qui se plaignent de ne pas pouvoir trouver des femmes qui leur conviennent. De plus, les hommes qui sont mariés se plaignent fréquemment que leurs épouses sont indifférentes ou même hostiles à leurs idées sur la race.

Les hommes, semble-t-il, sont bien plus prêts à adopter des idées politiquement incorrectes sur la race que les femmes. Read more …

Femmes fortes

Michael Polignano

English original here

« Vous avez simplement peur des femmes fortes ! ». Je ne peux pas compter le nombre de fois où j’ai entendu cette accusation lancée contre des hommes qui ont rompu avec leur petite amie après s’être fatigués de leurs postures et bouffonneries féministes.

Je le reconnais : j’ai peur des « femmes fortes ». Il y a de bonnes raisons de ne pas les aimer et même de les craindre. Read more …

Biela hrdosť a biela vina

Michael Polignano

“Light” by Fidus

1,153 words

English original here

V Spojených štátoch a vo väčšine bieleho sveta bude dnes každému dieťaťu dosť starému na to, aby rozumelo jazyku, povedané, že by malo cítiť vinu za zločiny svojich predkov. Vinu pre obsadenie, dobývanie, zotročovanie a zabíjanie nebielych na celom svete… A ako bonus vinu za odhadzovanie odpadkov. Vinu nie iba pre svoje vlastné zločiny, ale pre zločiny iných ľudí rovnakej rasy.

Ale bude mu tiež povedané, že by nemalo pociťovať žiadnu hrdosť na úžasné výdobytky jeho rasy. Read more …

Silné ženy

Michael Polignano

795 words

English original here

Táto esej je z knihy „Postav sa na našu vlastnú stranu“ od Michaela Polignana.

„Ty sa iba bojíš silných žien!“ Neviem ani spočítať, koľkokrát som počul toto obvinenie vychrlené na mužov, ktorí sa rozišli so svojimi priateľkami, keď už boli unavení z ich feministických póz a vyvádzania.

Priznávam – áno, bojím sa „silných žien“. A je tu hneď niekoľko dôvodov prečo ich nemať rád a dokonca sa ich báť.

Übersetzt von Tobias Schmidt

Am Anfang der Woche spazierte ich mit einer Freundin, die sich selbst als konservativ einschätzte, über den Campus der kalifornischen Universität Berkeley. Wir stimmten in den meisten Inhalten überein, obwohl wir uns in unseren Ansichten über Religion und damit verbundenen Fragen unterscheiden. Ich traf sie zum Mittagessen am Sproul Plaza, Berkeleys traditionellem Brennpunkt für Seifenkisten-Redekunst, wo ein christlicher Hardcore-Redner sich aufgestellt hatte. Read more …

The Righteous Among the Jews

Michael Polignano

1,751 words

The first Holocaust memorial, Yad Vashem, was founded in West Jerusalem in 1953. This memorial was unique in two ways: (1) it is the only memorial built by Jews primarily for other Jews, rather than gentiles, and (2) it is the only Holocaust memorial created before organized Jewry began exploiting Jewish victimhood during WWII as a means to justify Israel’s expansionist policies by equating critics of Israel with the Nazis.
