To describe Jason Lutes’ masterful graphic novel series Berlin as enemy fiction would be harsh—but technically true. Sadly.
Lutes exhibits enough vision and artistry on every page to impress upon the reader his love of the sequential art medium as well as of his subject matter, which, in the case of Berlin: City of Stones (book 1 of his 3-part Berlin series, first published in 2000), is the eponymous German capital circa 1928.

Heidegger’s Silence
Ithaca, N. Y.: Cornell University Press, 2018
Martin Heidegger’s association with the Nazis is well documented. Having come to Hitler’s attention as Germany’s leading academic, the philosopher was elected to the position of Rector of Freiburg University on April 21, 1933. (more…)

Joseph Campbell, the famed teacher of comparative mythology, was born on this day in 1904. For many people, including yours truly, he has served as a “gateway drug” into not only a new way of looking at myths, but into a non-materialistic way of viewing the world. And although as a public figure, Campbell mostly remained apolitical, evidence from his private life indicates that he was at least nominally a “man of the Right.” (more…)

We are all suffering from Nazi fatigue. Donald Trump is celebrating a decade of being “literally Hitler,” and will apparently soon be putting immigrants into camps. In Britain, young schoolchildren are shown timelines linking Mussolini, Hitler, and Nigel Farage, and showing how the first two lead inexorably to the Reform UK leader. The rest of us on the Right are just plain Nazis, although one consolation is that if we are, at least we get to wear cool clothes. (more…)

On December 18th, Tucker Carlson took the stage at Turning Point USA’s AmFest with a message from Yahweh: it is immoral to notice that His chosen people work together as a team against the interests of individualists like Tucker himself.
At least that is how I interpreted the following:
I’m not an anti-Semite for a very specific reason. (more…)

The question is whether the Jew as such, that is, the Jew who himself admits that he is compelled by his true nature to live permanently in separation from other men, is capable of receiving the universal rights of man and of conceding them to others.

In the latest skirmish over political rhetoric, a number of commentators have taken to attacking J. D. Vance for publicly rebuking journalist Sloan Rachmuth after she insinuated that his deputy press secretary, Buckley Carlson, (Tucker Carlson’s son) had inherited “racism and antisemitism” as a “family trait.” (more…)

The Holocaust remains one of the most extensively documented and morally horrifying events in modern history. It is a cornerstone of 20th century historical consciousness and a symbol of industrialized cruelty and racial ideology brought to its most extreme ends. Yet in recent years, the manner in which the Holocaust is discussed, taught, and legislated raises critical questions about how we treat history itself. (more…)

Part 2, “Agitatoren” (“Agitators”) looks at antisemitic and anti-Bolshevist books, pamphlets and newspaper articles circulating at the time of Hitler’s increasing political activities. This entire half of the book is unintentionally funny since it feels like every fifth word is “antisemitic.” Note that Plöckinger never defines that term. (more…)

Unter Soldaten und Agitatoren: Hitlers prägende Jahre im deutschen Militär 1918-1920
Schöningh, 2013
When I was asked if I’d be interested in reviewing Othmar Plöckinger’s book Unter Soldaten und Agitatoren: Hitlers prägende Jahre im deutschen Militär 1918-1920 (Among Soldiers and Agitators: Hitler’s formative years in the German military, 1918–1920), I wasn’t sure at first. (more…)

Years ago, a terrible person said a wonderful thing: White Nationalists need to sum up our position in a simple “mantra” that we can repeat whenever there is an atrocity against white people: “If white people had a country of our own, this would not have happened.”
This needs to be our first response to the shocking horrors and routine ugliness created by multiculturalism, because it identifies the root problem—non-whites in our living spaces—and points to the solution: racial separation, ultimately sovereign homelands for all peoples. (more…)

One of the most important lessons I learned from reading Bertrand de Jouvenel’s On Power is that revolutions happen against weak regimes, not against strong ones. This is not the romanticized version of history that we frequently get from the media or the schools. George III, Louis XVI, and Nicholas II have all been portrayed as terrible tyrants over which a ragtag team of plucky revolutionaries managed, against all odds, to be victorious. (more…)

It’s difficult to imagine Western Christianity these days without its zealous, almost unshakeable support for Israel. A curious position, one might think, given the historical theological stances and attitudes of most of Christianity. (more…)
