    The Hierarchy of Culture
    With Audio Version

    The hierarchy of culture, to be referred to while reading.

    3,157 words

    I believe there is a hierarchy/pyramid to culture, I have been working on this theory for a while now, I think it’s developed enough to at least introduce the concept and framework here as a blog post. It will deal with how culture operates both in theory and conceptually, as well as in practice with examples of people interacting with culture in day-to-day life experiences. (more…)

    The Winter Solstice & Christmas Ruminations

    1,100 words

    The Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year, gave me the gift of time to reflect on much that has been on my mind. I hope you’ll use the dark days to do the same, remember old traditions, and find the beauty that still exists. When the nights are long and cold, we as a people have always turned inward to search, and outward to create something beautiful.

    Autumn collapses into winter through low-hanging gray clouds and lands in the deep-cold. (more…)

    Cannon Hinnant & State-Sanctioned Violence Against Whites 

    1,255 words

    On Sunday, August 9, 2020, five-year-old Cannon Hinnant, a white child set to start kindergarten later this month, was shot in the head outside his home in Wilson, North Carolina, while riding his bicycle in front of his sisters. Cannon was shot at close range by his black neighbor of several years, Darius N. Sessoms. (more…)

    By Any Other Name:
    The Hostile Media & Anti-White Violence

    1,758 words

    Do white people deserve to die for uttering the word “nigger”? Blacks, prompted by the mainstream media, increasingly say “Yes.”

    The intersectional nature—yes, I’m taking intersectionality from the Left; I’m coming for it all—of an anti-white media and the propensity for extreme violence among blacks is creating an increasingly dangerous environment for whites. (more…)

    Tom Petty & The Decline of Culture & The Music Industry

    I don’t recall when I first heard “The Last DJ” (2002) by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, it was one of my dad’s favorite songs, I’m sure I heard it from him at some point. Like most great artwork, it was something that struck me immediately and continued to develop and grow as time went on and I had the capacity to understand it on higher levels. (more…)

    White Conservationism & Why Race Matters

    1,592 words

    Conserving the white race – more specifically, the people who hail from Europe – should be the highest goal of conservatism, for without a strong white race, nothing else so-called conservatives want to conserve is even remotely possible.

    Western civilization is synonymous with white civilization. The two are inextricably linked and inseparable. Grecian thought, Roman statecraft, German Idealism, English law – these pillars of humanity rest squarely on the shoulders of the European peoples. (more…)

    Greta & Left vs. Right Environmentalism

    1,207 words

    I saw a recent photo of Greta Thunberg, the young climate activist, and the poor thing looked quite ragged. Just run down. I felt deep sympathy for her. She’s right: Her childhood is being stolen, and people are indeed suffering. I hope she makes it.

    She is often mocked and ridiculed – sometimes relentlessly – by the Right, but I feel this is misplaced anger, and that Greta is not being viewed with nuance. (more…)

    Remembering Martin Luther King, Jr.

    Martin Luther King marching with Rabbi Abraham Heschel at a Vietnam War protest in Washington, DC in 1968.

    3,287 words

    There are few displays of ethnomasochism and xenophilia more perverse than that of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day – a day in January when white and black alike are meant to remember this hero of the Civil Rights era and to reflect on how far we have come as a country. MLK Day is an odd holiday to me, since it is as if the Byzantines had set aside a day to celebrate the heroism of Mehmed II, or some other Ottoman Sultan. Perhaps this analogy gives Martin Luther King, Jr. (MLK) far too much credit. (more…)

    Why I Write

    1,245 words

    I stood in the dim hallway, surrounded by police, hands up, being frisked, facing a barrage of questions. It was immediately apparent that somebody had called the police and made false accusations as a response to my writings — maybe more accurately, the nature of my writings. As thoughts raced through my mind, the loudest one was most certainly, “Is this really all worth it?”  (more…)

    Reklámháború a fehérek ellen

    Ó, babám, imádom, ahogy üvöltesz! – Harapj bele az új mintás alsóneműinkbe

    3,869 words

    English original here

    A különböző rasszhoz tartozók közötti párkapcsolat, főleg a fehér nők és fekete férfiak viszonyának agresszív reklámozása annyira hétköznapi jelenség, hogy újabban már azok sem tudják nem észrevenni, akik a legkevésbé figyelnek oda a társadalmi trendekre. Nemrégen egy bevásárlóközpontban sétáltam, és három nagy posztert láttam három különböző üzletben. A három közül kettő kevert rasszú párt, fehér nőt és fekete férfit ábrázolt, a harmadikon egy fehér pár szerepelt. A legérdekesebbnek azt találtam, hogy a városban, ahol ezek a hirdetések megjelentek, a lakosság 97%-a fehér, és csak 2%-a fekete. (more…)

    Civic Nationalism & the Diaspora Question

    1,858 words

    America’s inevitable future, according to civic nationalists.

    East Asians who migrate to America have been seen historically as the “model minority,” so much so that Asians – and the country of Singapore – are both commonly cited as examples of civic nationalism “working.” It occurred to me that if there was ever a group of people who could be considered “naturally conservative,” that title would most certainly apply to Asians, long before it would apply to Hispanics.

    Eric Clopper’s Sex & Circumcision

    Eric Clopper

    1,104 words

    Eric Clopper’s presentation Sex and Circumcision: An American Love Story, at Harvard’s Sanders Theatre on May 1, 2018 earned him rather scathing press in The Crimson. His views were then “investigated” by Harvard, which eventually fired him from his job as a systems administrator.

    At the beginning, Clopper piqued my interest by mentioning a group that conflates nearly all criticism of them with discrimination. (more…)

    Law Enforcement & The Hostile Elite

    5,091 words

    The police in America and much of Europe are profoundly and explicitly anti-white. Throughout the West, the police serve an elite who are very hostile to our interests and use them as a way to extort our people out of tremendous sums of money and to criminalize those who have committed no crime. From overpolicing to taking orders directly from those who wish to see our demise, law enforcement is no ally, nor do they act like one by any stretch. But for whatever reason, among our ranks, there seems to be a lot of slack given to the police. (more…)

    The War on Whites in Advertising:
    A Follow-Up

    1,916 words

    Shortly after publishing the article discussing “The War Against Whites in Advertising,”I received a lot of comments, messages, and social media posts – the support for the article was tremendous, thank you. One message we received was in regards to the “Banned German oral sex Sprite commercial.” The reader wrote us and asked us to look into the commercial. What I found was far more interesting than even the reader might have known. The video is below. (more…)

    The War Against Whites in Advertising

    See also the followup article here

    The mass-marketing of interracial relationships, particularly white women with black men, has become so ubiquitous and so militant, even the least observant members of our culture have begun to notice. Walking through a mall recently I noticed three large marketing images of couples in three different stores. Two of the three were interracial couples, depicting a white woman and black man; the third couple was white. Perhaps what struck me as most peculiar was the fact that the city where I was shopping, whites make up about 97% of the population, blacks are less than 2%. (more…)
