Jim Goad has produced a short video to accompany his latest essay, “Despite All the Progress We’ve Made, There Is Still, for Some Strange Reason, a Ridiculous Amount of Work to Be Done” — on how progressives keep telling us “there’s much work to be done,” despite the fact that it’s never made clear exactly when the work of social justice will be done. See below. (more…)

Enoch Powell by nesjpíš v roli vůdce britského nacionalistického hnutí působil jakoby nepatřičně i v lecjaké alternativní historii. Oddaný voják Impéria, příslušník establishmentu, osobitý klasický učenec a nepředvídatelný, byť poctivý student politické strategie Powell totiž rozhodně nebyl žádný pravicový radikál. Byl to konzervativec až do morku kostí, podle vlastního vyjádření „se jako toryovec už narodil … jako člověk s neotřesitelnou vírou v instituce. (more…)

So it’s fare thee well to dime-store Lady Macbeth, Nicola Sturgeon. The Scottish premier, and the woman Nigel Farage called the most unpleasant politician he had ever met, quit after an uproar, which is what journalists reading tweets and sensing a story is called just at the moment. (more…)

Last Saturday afternoon at a public park east of Manchester in northern England, a 16-year-old male whose first name at birth was “Brett” died from multiple stab wounds. I don’t know Brett’s legal surname at the moment, because the press has refrained from reporting it.
At some point — from what I am able to infer from news reports, it was less than a year ago — Brett decided that his name was “Brianna” and declared that he was a female rather than a male. (more…)

For media junkies like myself, the blessed week between Christmas and New Year’s should be rehab. It isn’t, of course. We can’t quit the needle. We spend the week watching myriad round-ups of the year that has just left us from around the media globe, as well as the other side of the two-faced god Januarius’ gaze: the media’s prognostications as to the year ahead.

Hardworking anti-Semites worldwide are crying foul that black rapper Kanye West won the coveted “Anti-Semite of the Year” award from watchdog group StopAntisemitism on December 11. Without explanation, the award was issued 20 days before the year actually ended, prematurely thwarting all other anti-Semites’ valiant attempts to best Mr. West at the ancient art of Jew-hatred.

Brassneck was a cartoon robot schoolboy from a popular comic I read as a young lad in the 1960s, The Dandy. Older British readers will also remember this comic’s great rival, The Beano, and Dennis the Menace (which was very different from the American Dennis). (more…)

Lots of books about English skinheads and the band Skrewdriver have been published in English. Personally, I consider the best book on this topic to be Nazi Rock Star by Paul London, aka Paul Burnley, ex-singer of the band No Remorse. This book offers the most comprehensive look at Skrewdriver and goes into Ian Stuart’s childhood, explaining his ideology and motivations. (more…)

“The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it.” — Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
The last article of mine that our editors at Counter–Currents kindly published was about the masculine topic of military history. To complement a foray into the Napoleonic Wars, I included a clip from the 1970 film Waterloo.[1] In the comments, a reader shared an observation about one of the few Waterloo scenes that did not take place on a battlefield. Instead, this particular scene immersed audiences in a Brussels high-society fête, where the Duchess of Richmond hosted the Duke of Wellington’s officers at her famous summer Ball of 1815. (more…)

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.
