I’ll always remember the day Twitter restored my long-suspended account — not because it was a particularly meaningful occasion for me, but because it happened to fall on Valentine’s Day. Elon Musk’s romantic gift, as I jokingly thought of it, lasted little longer than a bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolates. Exactly two months and 14 days later, I was booted off the platform again. (more…)

Since it is now standard journalistic practice to refer to rampaging black criminals as “teens,” a recent story from North Carolina requires me to refer to a 24-year-old black male accused of attempted murder as a “post-teenaged man.”
Last week’s news cycle was dominated by the saga of a black teen who was shot by an 84-year-old white man after ringing the wrong doorbell. (more…)

Historická fakta obvykle bývají podstatně paradoxnější a zajímavější, než následně o nich vytvořené mýty. Při čtení vynikající sbírky esejí Julia Evoly jsem narazil na fascinující baronův rozhovor s jiným aristokratem a dlouholetým propagátorem „evropského federalismu“, hrabětem Richardem von Coudenhove-Kalergi.

Emil Cioran
Apologie de la barbarie: Berlin – Bucharest (1932-1941)
Paris: L’Herne, 2015
Špičkové nakladatelství L’Herne v roce 2015 vydalo velice zajímavý titul: sborník článků Emila Ciorana, otištěných před válkou v rumunských novinách. Cioran, později slavný aforista, byl i v době před spojeneckým vítězstvím bystrým pozorovatelem, kousavým kulturním kritikem a politickým analytikem. (more…)

Ian Kershaw
Personality and Power: Builders and Destroyers of Modern Europe
New York: Penguin Press, 2022
This book caught my eye when it came out a few months ago because its format reminded me of Standardbearers: British Roots of the New Right, which I reviewed here some seasons back. That is to say, a collection of short critical biographies of a dozen or so worthies, assembled together on a common theme. (more…)

Ernst Jünger
The Peace
Singapore: Rogue Scholar Press, 2022
Ernst Jünger is representative of the German twentieth century in many ways; his books and essays are often visceral, violent, brutal, and profound. The First World War shaped much of his writing. Jünger articulated the new heroics of soldiers dealing stoically with the frightful carnage wrought by technology and envisioned a totalitarian future characterized by obedience beyond question.

Sometime in the mid-1990s, while amusing myself by batting around ideas for fake racial-justice charity organizations such as “Negrowth” and “Up With Negroes!”, I conceived of a satirical Nazi-Zionist alliance called “Never Say, ‘Never Again.’” (more…)

Hitler and Abductive Logic: The Strategy of a Tyrant
Lanham, Md.: Lexington Books, 2014
„Nahlédni do své duše a uvidíš, že je to pravda.“
Kniha Hitler a abduktivní logika Bena Novaka je dost možná tím nejvíce strhujícím akademickým titulem, na jaký jsem kdy narazil. Přináší smělou a nápaditou syntézu filozofie, historie, životopisu i literárního umu. (more…)
