Almost two thirds of white voters would support a law making it illegal for an employer to fire an employee for exercising a Constitutionally protected right while off duty.
Almost half of white voters are less likely to support a business if it fires an employee due to pressure from the Left.
Our first Homeland Institute poll ever was conducted last year in August, 2023, on the topic of cancel culture. (more…)

Former President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated on July 13 at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Corey Comperatore, a 50-year-old former Fire Chief and father of two who had lived his entire life in nearby Sarver, Pennsylvania was not so lucky. He was shot and killed while shielding his family from the gunfire. Two other innocent bystanders were likewise seriously injured in the shooting. (more…)

Someone tried to assassinate Donald Trump as he gave a speech in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania last Saturday. The shooter missed by centimeters, only grazing Trump’s ear. Three other people were shot, however, one fatally. The iconic image of Trump raising his fist in defiance is the stuff memes are made of. It was an emotional event.
In the days since, some Right-wingers have been trying to “cancel” those liberals who have made light of the event, or more commonly lamenting that the assassin did not succeed. The first such major example involved the Gen-X musical comedy duo Tenacious D. (more…)

Gamergate can be summarized as the backlash against Social Justice Warrior (SJW) themes that were being pushed in video games during 2014-2015. The reader may explore the deep lore surrounding it if he is so inclined, for those days have passed into legend.
A second Gamergate has begun, although it is more limited in scope — for now. The focus is on Sweet Baby Inc., a company that offers “diversity consulting” for video-game scripts, and which has been blamed for a rising number of woke video games. (more…)

In the style of Charlie Kaufman’s screenplays — e.g., Being John Malkovich (1999), Adaptation (2002), and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) — Norwegian writer/director Kristoffer Borgli’s Dream Scenario, his first English-language feature film, is a smart and stinging rebuke to the celebrity of influencer culture, consumer capitalism, and perhaps most provocatively, cancel culture. As such, there is a decidedly conservative streak to this satirical film with, at one point, overt references made to the “Alt Right” and Intellectual Dark Web-aligned figures (e.g. Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson, Tucker Carlson).

Greg Johnson floated the idea of my writing an essay on Candace Owens being the Non-White Ally of 2023. I said no, because I think she is a snake. Has Candace Owens been saying good things lately? Has she been dabbling in Jewish-question territory, helping to bring some of our basic talking points to the mainstream and shifting the Overton window? I don’t deny that she has. (more…)

Sites such as The Unz Review and Counter-Currents are maligned by the mainstream media for promoting extreme views. But are these outlets more impartial and diverse than elite outlets? Unlike the establishment media, these publications broadcast a broader spectrum of ideas and are likely to engender civil discourse. (more…)

In politics as in war, the best defense is a good offense. Conservatism has catastrophically failed to conserve anything because it is an inherently defensive ideology born out of a defensive — if not downright cowardly — mindset. It does not take a political genius to predict that those who want to just be left alone so they can grill in peace will lose to those who want to burn Western civilization to the ground. (more…)

A tempest in a teapot started brewing nearly two years ago at Vermont’s Middlebury College which perfectly exemplifies the weak tea that the conservative movement has been serving these past several decades. College President Laurie Patton effected a clandestine name change of a century-old building on campus. Mead Memorial Chapel was to be renamed (or “de-named”) Middlebury Chapel. The chapel’s name had originally honored John A. Mead, a physician who served as Vermont’s Governor from 1910 to 1912. Both an alumnus and trustee of the college, Mead had contributed most of the money for the chapel’s construction in 1916. (more…)

Editor’s Note: The results of the Homeland Institute‘s (website, Telegram) first poll have been released.
The results are intriguing, to say the least. For example, the accusation of wokeness has almost 70% of the power of an accusation of racism in terms of respondents’ willingness to actually follow through with boycotting a business.

In recent years an attempt was made to reshape Britain on the model of a totalitarian dictatorship. We were constantly being urged to report each other to the authorities.
This was done by the government, which wanted us to denounce our neighbors if they left their houses more than once a day, and by the police, who did all they could to attract reports of “hate incidents.” (more…)
