Richard Hanania’s The Origins of Woke is Christopher Caldwell’s excellent book, The Age of Entitlement, but in a less sober and more opinionated tone, and with more speculation on what’s to be done about the predicament. While both books get the point across, Hanania’s trying to get several other points across that distract from the central thesis: Our legal system contains a civil rights ratcheting mechanism that requires all corporations and organizations to promote a “Leftist” (anti-Christian, anti-white, anti-male, anti-straight) political agenda.

We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams. — Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States
And different statistics for violent crime.
Almost a quarter of the twenty-first century is “history” and, given how badly it’s been going, perhaps it’s time to pause and ask the question: Who’s to blame? (more…)

ضرر لا رجوع فيه: جنون التحول الجنسي يغوي بناتنا
نيويورك: دار ريجنيري للنشر، 2020انتشر وباء في الآونة الأخيرة للفتيات المراهقات اللائي يعلنن أنهن مصابات بخلل في الهوية الجنسية وأنهن يصبحن “متحولات”. من المنظور الليبرالي الأبيض اللطيف، قد يبدو أن هذا هو الحاجز الذي كسره جنود “الحقوق المدنية”، لكن أبيجيل شرير تقول في كتابها الممتاز، “ضرر لا رجوع فيه”، إنه ليس كذلك. وبدلاً من ذلك، تجادل بأن الفتيات المراهقات اللائي يصبن بخلل في الهوية الجنسية ما هو إلا تطور جديد لظاهرة قديمة ومعروفة. يمكن للمرء أن يطلق على هذه الظاهرة بدعة (more…)

Any understanding of this nation has to be based, and I mean really based, on an understanding of the Civil War. I believe that firmly. It defined us. The Revolution did what it did. Our involvement in European wars, beginning with the First World War, did what it did. But the Civil War defined us as what we are and it opened us to being what we became, good and bad things. And it is very necessary, if you are going to understand the American character in the twentieth century, to learn about this enormous catastrophe of the mid-nineteenth century. It was the crossroads of our being, and it was a hell of a crossroads. — Shelby Foote (more…)

Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters
New York: Regnery Publishing, 2020There has recently been an epidemic of teen girls declaring that they have gender dysphoria and becoming “trans.” From the nice, white liberal perspective, this may appear to be a barrier broken by the foot soldiers of “civil rights,” but Abigail Shrier says in her excellent book, Irreversible Damage, that it is not. She instead argues that teen girls getting gender dysphoria is only a new twist to an old, well-known phenomenon. (more…)

Phyllis Schlafly
A Choice Not an Echo
Alton, Ill.: Pere Marquette Press, 1964Many of the greatest pioneers of Right-wing political thought in the United States are women. Right-leaning men are often too busy with their jobs and putting out the fires to be prophets. Female activists, for their part, have a remarkable ability to challenge and change the direction of institutions. One such woman was Phyllis Schlafly (1924-2016). (more…)

Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force Kaleth Wright spent much of his tenure picking at the scabs of “racism.” His statements didn’t end racial conflicts in the military, but exacerbated them. His appointment to high office guarantees that no battalion in the US military can be trusted to suppress an African race riot.

By 1914, at the outbreak of the First World War, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had become unstable. The full story of how it got that way is beyond the scope of this article, but to put it simply, after 1867 the Hungarians gained control of parts of the Empire where there were not many Hungarians. This situation was greatly resented by the locals in the areas they controlled.
Today, the United States is likewise unstable. The lion’s share of what caused this instability is the minority sub-Saharan African population, which has an outsized role in influencing institutions and society. One can call this paradigm the “civil rights” regime. (more…)
