    The Case for Societal Collapse as Saving Grace

    1,214 words

    During my short stint on this Earth, I’ve come to realize that people really aren’t that complicated. While we all have free will, hardly everything — or even the majority of the things we do — is of this divine spark. (more…)

    Michael Brendan Dougherty’s My Father Left Me Ireland

    2,318 words

    Michael Brendan Dougherty
    My Father Left Me Ireland: An American Son’s Search for Home
    New York: Sentinel Books, 2019

    When this was first published a couple of years ago, reviewers had two distinct takes about the book. One was that it was a wistful, sometimes bittersweet memoir about growing up without a father, because the father was off in Ireland, having never married Dougherty’s American mother; and also, the author had some romantic notions about Ireland, and wasn’t that special.  (more…)

    Wagner for the Folkish

    You can buy Collin Cleary’s Wagner’s Ring & the Germanic Tradition here.

    1,229 words

    Collin Cleary
    Wagner’s Ring and the Germanic Tradition
    Wagnerphile Books, 2021

    Richard Wagner is a cornerstone of Western culture. He is one of the few composers that still receive mainstream attention in the 21st century, but usually for negative reasons. Hacks can’t resist the temptation to bash him for his alleged proto-Nazism and anti-Semitism. Even if critics see him as a predecessor to Hitler, many of them still enjoy his music. Few doubt he was a great musician. (more…)

    Undine

    1,394 words

    Christian Petzold’s Undine, set in contemporary Berlin, begins with Undine Wibeau (Paula Beer) having coffee with Johannes, her boyfriend. It’s not going well. She has deep, penetrating eyes and red hair that looks ready to blaze. She says to him: “You said you loved me. Forever. If you leave me, I’ll have to kill you. You know that.”

    We’ve all had girlfriends like that, haven’t we? (more…)

    Remembering Sam Francis:
    Francis & the Fire Bird

    Schedel’s Phoenix from the Nuremberg Chronicle, 1493

    2,484 words

    If I had to recommend one book on politics, it would be James Burnham’s The Machiavellians. If I had to recommend one pamphlet, it would be an overlooked gem of American political discourse, Sam Francis’s The Other Side of Modernism: James Burnham and His Legacy. There is no white identitarian, racially aware conservative, American nationalist, or any other member of the Dissident Right who does not owe a massive debt to this towering genius.

    The de la Poer Madness:
    Before and After Lovecraft’s “Rats in the Walls”

    2,686 words

    Robert M. Price, ed.
    The Exham Cycle
    Selma, North Carolina: Exham Priory, 2020

    The de la Poer madness was so singular, opening up new lines of inquiry into the much-debated question of ancestral memory, that no men of the psychological sciences could in good conscience fail to try to resolve it. (more…)

    The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

    3,081 words

    John Ford’s last great film The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) enjoys the status of a classic. I find it a deeply flawed, grating, and often ridiculous film that is nonetheless redeemed both by raising intellectually deep issues and by an emotionally powerful ending that seems to come out of nowhere.  (more…)

    Crisis & Opportunity

    Gustave Moreau, Hesiod and the Muse, 1891.

    1,553 words

    As another birthday arrives, I find myself getting closer to the dreaded age of 40. Although I still feel young, I have started to reflect on the meaning of my life and my own mortality. Some people would call this a “midlife crisis.” Yet the real crisis comes from the disenfranchisement of white men in our culture and society. For every white man with a stable career and a family, an unemployed white man is living in his mom’s basement playing video games all day. Regardless of age, the wisdom of Hesiod reminds us that one man’s crisis can be another man’s opportunity. (more…)

    The Daemonettes of Slaanesh
    & Woke Capital’s Very Own Monstrosities

    1,054 words

    You may be familiar with Warhammer Forty Thousand — 40K for short. It’s a fantasy universe originally created for tabletop wargaming. It has a large fan base, and like most other European-created alternate worlds, the woke mob has begun to howl for its transformation. Of course, management is happy to acquiesce.

    The 40K universe is one of futuristic, grim, eternal war. The principal conflict in this dystopian universe is between the forces of Chaos and the Imperium of Man. (more…)

    Clever Like a Fox

    Ernest Henri Griset’s cover illustration for Michel Rodange’s Reynard the Fox, 1869.

    1,517 words

    When I took the garbage out earlier this week, I saw a fox crossing the street. We stared at each other for a prolonged moment before it ran off. During that encounter, I felt a strange connection with this wild animal. As much as I related to wolves in the past, I think that modern dissidents share some characteristics with foxes. Just as every fox looks after its own tail, each person in our community can outfox our enemies and adapt to our changing environments. (more…)

    Inheritors of the Earth:
    Port, Plain, & Mountain in Western Culture

    Caspar David Friedrich, Greifswald in Moonlight, 1817.

    9,130 words

    As men and women of the Right, we are searchers for Truth. We believe that by finding Truth and living by Truth, we might know Beauty, and we might know ourselves. Essence is our mission and with it, survival. And so this essay will try to surface and then sketch three fundamental “lifeways,” (more…)

    Patriotic Feelings

    Detail, Luca Giordano, Aeneas’s defeat of Turnus, 1688.

    1,611 words

    For most of my life, I have never really felt patriotic about America or being an American. The only time I felt a strong connection to America was during Donald Trump’s presidential campaign of 2016. I would drive hundreds of miles just to attend his campaign rallies and meet other Trump supporters. As the fallout of the Capitol occupation (more…)
