Scott Greer
Whitepill: The Online Right & the Making of Trump’s America
Los Angeles: Passage Press, 2026

Scott Greer’s Whitepill is a well-written insider’s account of two triumphs, of populism and Right-wing metapolitics, that have reshaped American conservatism. Greer’s protagonist is the “online Right,” which basically means a constellation of webzines, blogs, and video and social media channels defending forms of populism and white identity politics, while attacking both the Left and the mainstream Right. The story of these triumphs is the “whitepill” of Greer’s title, which is internet slang for good news. (more…)

Ronald Beiner
Radical Right Ideologues in the Age of Trump: Heralds of Nihilism
New York: Routledge, 2026

Ronald Beiner and I go way back. In 2018, Beiner published Dangerous Minds: Nietzsche, Heidegger, and the Return of the Far Right, which I reviewed at Counter-Currents.[1] Beiner’s book warns academics that it is dangerous to teach Nietzsche and Heidegger because they are profoundly illiberal thinkers who will corrupt the youth. As exhibits, he points to such Right-wing luminaries as Richard Spencer and Alexander Dugin. (more…)

It’s been said that one of the problems with German military thinking in the 20th century is that Germany never grew out of its small-country thinking.

For centuries, Prussia was one smaller continental great power, and for a smaller nation to defeat larger nations in war requires war to be waged in a certain manner. (more…)

Talking about pro-white politics on social media is all well and good in terms of the nebulous moving of the Overton Window. But there are really only a handful of strategies the pro-white community can implement which would be long lasting, game changing, and decisive to our long-term goals. Among them: (more…)

Azzmador, RIP
Original art by A. Wyatt Mann

1,008 words

Word broke on Telegram on Tuesday morning that Alt Right icon Robert Ray, aka Azzmador, passed away shortly after a disturbing post complaining about excruciating pain in his legs.

One could argue that Azzmador qualifies as a martyr to the White Nationalist cause because the only reason that he was unable to seek proper medical care was because he had been a fugitive of the law since August 2017, when he maced an antifa activist in self-defense at the Charlottesville tiki torch march.

Scotland’s New Leader: White

As of late March, after the appointment of the Zambia-born Vaughan Gething as the First Minster of Wales, the only country in the British Isles with a white leader — albeit a female one — was Northern Ireland.

In April, a white male named Simon Harris replaced the brown-and-gay Leo Varadkar as the Republic of Ireland’s Taoiseach, meaning that the two nations comprising the Emerald Isle were both led by whites. (more…)

I fought in the Optics War for six years. Then, last December I declared that the Optics War was over for several reasons. The Right Stuff closing down the National Justice Party project took the question of real-world activism off the table. Andrew Anglin and Nick Fuentes falling out over the Richard Spencer Question was a sign that old Optics War rules were no longer being adhered to by its most prominent figure. (more…)
