This essay was originally published in July 2013, but has become relevant again in light of the recent disclosure that R. Derek Black now identifies as transsexual, as revealed in his new memoir: The Klansman’s Son: My Journey from White Nationalism to Antiracism.
Derek Black’s renunciation of White Nationalism raises questions of wider significance about how people form and reject beliefs. (more…)

The following is reprinted from the Homeland Institute (website, Telegram).
Of white Americans aged 18 to 35, 87.3% of Democrats, 85.1% of Independents, and 72.2% of Republicans plan on below-replacement reproduction, meaning two or fewer children.
33.2% of all respondents, 35.9% of Democrats, 38.5% of Independents, and 23.1% of Republicans said that the financial cost of raising children overall was a barrier to having children. (more…)

The 2023 nationalist activist MVP of the year, Keith Woods, recently wrote an article on society and its ideal size and scale. It’s a very good article. Drawing from thinkers such as Aristotle, Rousseau, and Leopold Kohr, Woods — in a studious and methodical manner — showcases the argument in favor of societies and systems of government which maintain a small population. He is primarily, almost exclusively, concerned with the governance of society. (more…)

Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets (2023)
Directed by Olivia Crist & Julia Willoughby NasonLo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. — Psalm 127:3-5 KJV (more…)

Like many children, some of my most vivid early memories center on the Christmas season. Preparations always began immediately after Thanksgiving. My mother and I would drag the dusty boxes of decorations down from the attic, while my father ascended onto our rooftop to string up the lights. A few weeks later we would go to the tree farm, ideally on a cold and overcast day, where my sister and I would run around searching for the ideal Christmas tree to be felled by my father’s handsaw.

Herman’s real point is that women should not be forced to work by social or financial pressures, but should instead receive, for example, a housewife’s salary or higher childcare allowances. This plea for more freedom of choice has been interpreted in the media more and more obsessively in the direction of a lack of freedom. While it was initially claimed that Herman wanted to go back to the 1950s and “force women to stay at home,” it was not very long before Nazi Germany was reached as a huge projection screen for all German fears.

The Gender Affirmative Model: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Supporting Transgender and Gender Expansive Children
Washington, DC: American Psychological Association, 2018I’m ancient enough to remember candy cigarettes — not bad for a sugar rush, best as I can recall. What a way to advertise addiction to the kiddos, right? That fell out of favor long ago, along with the Joe Camel logo and the Flintstones advertising Winston ciggies, for obvious reasons. (more…)

F. Roger Devlin delivered this talk in Stockholm on May 27, 2023 to mark the publication of the Swedish translation of Sexual Utopia in Power (Den sexuella utopin vid makten) by Logik Förlag.
If you have any familiarity with my work, you know I publish mainly in the dissident Right press in the United States. Sexual issues do not typically occupy a lot of attention in this milieu. Sometimes I have even encountered confusion as to the relevance of my writings on sex to the political tasks of the nationalist, or identitarian, movement. The proper response, of course, is that any nation or race must reproduce itself sexually. (more…)

If I wanted to destroy a functional society — the sort that white Europeans have built and maintained for millennia — upending the family and harming children would be a high priority. Attacking a society’s children is far easier than other groups and offers significant benefits to those wishing harm. If you can get children to turn on their families ideologically, you can likely get them to do anything you want as they mature. Thus, if I wanted to sever the roots of a people and mold them into obedient serfs, I would start by attacking the children. (more…)

I have always cherished the pretense of Halloween. Regardless of its pagan origins in Europe as a harvest celebration, the event I have always known presents an exciting chance for children to dress up and pretend, and for adults to play along. The candy and trick-or-treating is important, of course, but secondary, in my opinion, to the spectacle of it all. As a child, deciding what I would be for Halloween each year took a great deal of thought and preparation (for several years, my mother had insisted we make our own costumes from scratch — a fun and productive exercise).

There is an elective affinity — a relationship of reciprocal attraction and mutual reinforcement — between a) John Locke’s argument that a child’s mind initially resembles an “empty cabinet” or a “white paper void of all characters” which can be shaped by controlling the education impressed upon the child’s mind, and b) the origins of a literature specifically written for children in the 1700s in England.
