    Revolución con Plenos Beneficios

    1.071 palabras

    English original here

    Jason Kessler hizo recientemente una crítica al movimiento Nacionalista Blanco en su canal de Telegram: «Si el Nacionalismo Blanco está totalmente desprovisto de mujeres Blancas solteras y no puede proporcionar funciones básicas de una red social para los hombres solteros, es insostenible.»[1] De hecho, el Nacionalismo Blanco es «inútil» porque «no está proporcionando funciones sociales básicas para sus adherentes»,[2] particularmente proporcionando parejas a los hombres.

    Revolution with Full Benefits

    1,044 words

    Spanish version here

    Jason Kessler recently offered a critique of the White Nationalist movement on his Telegram channel: “If White Nationalism is totally devoid of single White women and cannot provide basic social networking functions for single men, it is unsustainable.”[1] Indeed, White Nationalism is “worthless” because it “isn’t providing basic social functions for its adherents,”[2] particularly providing men with mates.

    As I stroll lackadaisically through life’s pollen-belching daffodil fields, it occurs to me that I’ve never seen a depressed person with Down syndrome. No matter how sad their lives may look to outsiders, down to the last pumpkin-headed man and woman they seem blissfully ignorant of how they may appear to others. They happily embrace life as if they are clutching a fistful of multicolored balloons. (more…)

    On the train ride home this weekend, I ended up talking with a drunk woman about the concept of happiness. Although brief, the conversation reminded me of Giacomo Casanova’s memoir The Story of My Life. As I have gotten older, this memoir has reminded me not to let certain vices ruin my life.

    Thomas Jefferson & the Declaration of Independence

    Thomas Jefferson

    2,258 words

    Thomas Jefferson

    The first sentence of Preamble to the Declaration of Independence reads: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” The Declaration of Independence is not a legal document or even a formal declaration of independence. By the time of its adoption, twelve of the thirteen colonies had already declared independence with the passage of the Lee Resolution.  (more…)

    A Code of Conduct for the Higher Man in Kali Yuga

    5,808 words

    The subtitle of the English translation of Julius Evola’s Ride the Tiger (Cavalcare la Tigre) promises that it offers “A Survival Manual for the Aristocrats of the Soul.”[1] As a result, one comes to the work with the expectation that it will constitute a kind of “self-help book” for Traditionalists, for “men against time.” (more…)

    English original here

    Vor ein paar Jahren entschied ich, daß ich einen Kodex brauchte, um danach zu leben: eine Reihe von Prinzipien, die mein Leben leiten. Nun, es ist nicht so, als hätte ich nicht bereits einige Prinzipien entdeckt, die mir als richtig erschienen; es war nicht so, als ob ich im Blindflug unterwegs gewesen wäre, ohne irgendwelche Überzeugungen. Aber ich hatte mich nie hingesetzt und darüber nachgedacht, woraus genau mein „Kodex“ bestand, und das alles zu Papier gebracht. (more…)

    A few years ago, I decided I needed a code to live by: a set of principles to guide my life. Now, it’s not as if I hadn’t already discovered some principles that seemed right to me; it wasn’t as if I was flying blind, without any convictions. But I had never sat down and reflected on exactly what my “code” consisted in, and put it all on paper. So, I decided one day to do just that.

    1,673 words

    A few days ago I had dinner with a co-worker. She knows nothing of my secret identity (i.e., Jef Costello) and I have never clued her in to the full extent of my political incorrectness. Nevertheless, as I do with so many others, I relish little opportunities to slip something into the conversation to make her think. Usually it consists in unfurling a bit of my colossal pessimism – my sense that everything is going to complete and utter hell.
