The Honorable Cause: A Free South –12 Southern Essays
Self-published, 2023

In concluding his great work The Southern Tradition at Bay, which was published five years after the author’s death in 1968, Richard Weaver leaves us with some truly haunting words: “The South which entered the twentieth century had largely ceased to be a fighting South.”

Although this statement was false in a literal sense, since throughout the twentieth century the American South had provided the United States military some of its best fighting men, it was true in that these men had largely ceased fighting as Southerners. (more…)

So are we merely documenting the decline?

This is a question I often see posed among people on the Right. Things are not exactly ascending for us these days, and so the decline that we see dripping all around us like dirty water from a cracked ceiling can get monotonous and depressing. (more…)

So here are two questions:

1. Is there any truth behind “Right” and “Left” when describing competing political factions?
2. Is there any sense in using these terms in political discourse?

The second question answers itself — yes — since people use these terms all the time and don’t seem to have difficulty being understood. Few, it seems, are asking for basic definitions when writers and thinkers expound upon Right and Left. (more…)

Dear Tucker,

The New York Times recently speculated that FOX News fired you because of a January 7, 2021 text message of yours, which reads: (more…)

Any doubt that there is a concerted wish among influential Jews to guide gentiles into maladaptive behavior can be dispelled by watching the 2008 Mike Leigh film Happy-Go-Lucky. The British Leigh, whose family name was originally Lieberman, became famous as a director among the avant-garde crowd in the 1990s with true-to-life comedy-dramas such as Life is Sweet, Naked, and Secrets and Lies. As an actor’s director, Leigh typically relies more on improvisation and dialogue than on action or cinematography. In other words, his films are chatty, and in many ways harken back to the stage — albeit a long-winded, cockney version of one. At least that’s how Leigh was by 2008, when Happy-Go-Lucky came out.

Literature can shape the way we look at the world — even without our knowing it, or being beware of the specific literature in question. A Bible verse shared during a church service or a few lines of poetry offered in a classroom can have this effect. With novels, well-drawn characters can stick with us until we view life through their fictional eyes. I imagine Ernest Hemingway had this in mind when he claimed that “all modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn.” There is a little of Huck Finn in all of us, in other words.

It’s the age-old story of crabs in a bucket: When one enlightened individual looks up, he sees the expanse of the universe and all its possibilities, but when all the other crabs look up, the ones who aren’t so enlightened only see one individual trying to escape. And they pull him back in.

James Dewey Watson is one such enlightened individual. We all know his accomplishments as perhaps the world’s most famous living scientist. (more…)

Citing the need to “secure the existence of our people and a future for white children” and waving placards condemning former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke for his “complete and utter capitulation to the Zionist Occupation Government (aka ZOG),” an angry crowd of White Nationalists protested bitterly outside Duke’s new home in Sarasota, Florida last Monday.

It really hurts to be white these days.

I can’t talk about that, of course. And if I have to, like when some pushy reporter sticks a microphone in my face or something, then yes, I will talk about it. But I will say the exact opposite of the truth. (more…)

I have confidence in the Right as the political entity we know today largely because Right-wing extremism has proved to be less insidious, murderous, and destructive than Left-wing extremism. This has been the case for the last 250 years. Nothing can compare to the hideous wake left by the French Revolution, the Bolshevik Revolution, the Soviet terror famines and gulags, the mass starvations of Mao’s China, and the crimes committed by the North Vietnamese, among other atrocities. The Nazis at least waited until wartime to commit their acts of barbarism. The worst of the Left had no such compunctions, and were deadlier to boot. (more…)

The easiest thing a dissident can do is screw up. When choosing this dangerous path, a dissident faces numerous obstacles and pitfalls and becomes an easy target for his well-funded and organized enemies.

Dissidents are, in a way, intellectual outlaws. (more…)

One of the most neurotic things about white people is the desperation so many of them have to be perceived as moral. Most will virtue-signal in a variety of cheap and easy ways. Those who take it seriously will often descend into activism. But there is one way to virtue signal — indeed, it is the best way — that will sanctify one’s morality for all to see: care more for outgroup members than for ingroup members.

After all, what motivation could there be — other than pure angelic virtue — for doing something so utterly self-defeating? (more…)

The idea of a national divorce has been trending lately thanks in part to a recent tweet storm from Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG). And by “national divorce,” she basically means stepping up to the line of red-state secession and not crossing it. As with most happenings in politics, all substantive change must be incremental and not instant. (more…)
