After reading Doug Huntington’s insightful review of It Follows, David Robert Mitchell’s excellent horror film, I watched the movie for the first time. Set in Detroit, its austere, derelict cityscape was an eerie amalgam of crumbling industry and disused grandeur which was juxtaposed with a near-idyllic white suburbia.

Detroit’s dark inner-city denizens, distant shambling creatures, are relegated to the background; they are viewed in passing from afar by the film’s main characters as they drive into the city in search of answers. (more…)

Many of you Constant Readers of my many essays on Neville and New Thought have no doubt wondered, “Well, if it’s all in your mind, why don’t you just think about what you want. For example, that $300,000 you need.” (more…)

In my writing for Counter-Currents, I’ve called for the formation of a dissident high culture. At the time of writing, there is only a smattering of cultural institutions which are explicitly Dissident Right, which means that the future of dissident high culture is whatever we make it. The future is a vast empty space which we have been tasked with filling.

I wonder what he would have made of Donald Trump, the Alt Right, BLM, and other developments. We would have gained much from his insights and guidance. (more…)
