Though I am certainly no Emil Cioran scholar, I can write about him from the point of view of having been impacted by him. Would-be Cioran enthusiasts beware, for his influence is not necessarily a bright one; after all, his ideas belong to a school of thought known as philosophical pessimism. Though I am sure he would hate it, I am going to attempt to extract some positivity from his writings.

I am focused much more on the past than the future. (more…)

The more you retreat from actions into words, the more you will be tempted to lie to get rich. By “actions,” I mean the following: caring for people, engineering things, programming things, fighting off an enemy, and physical labor. And by “words,” I mean making money in more verbal ways. When Andrew Tate retired from kickboxing, he retreated from actions into words — specifically, sales and entrepreneurship. He succumbed to the temptation to lie, and he deceived people as an OnlyFans entrepreneur, a casino owner, and as a pyramid schemer — but through it all, he retained a weird tendency to be candid about his profitmaking activities.

Špičkové nakladatelství L’Herne v roce 2015 vydalo velice zajímavý titul: sborník článků Emila Ciorana, otištěných před válkou v rumunských novinách.

As I have written before, while it is an undeniable truth that NATO and even the European Union, which is much worse than NATO, is preferable to the Russian Federation due to the incontestable fact that pro-white organizations can operate more freely in the former than in the latter, my ideal scenario is Eastern Europe breaking away from NATO and forming its own military alliance with its headquarters in Warsaw, consisting of the following countries in no particular order: (more…)

La Nouvelle Librairie has begun publishing Les Carnets Rebelles (The Rebel’s Notebooks) by Dominique Venner. The first volume, which was published at the end of 2021 and is an anthology of observations and autobiographical anecdotes, reveals the passions and lucidity of this unique historian. The editorial staff offers its readers an extract, probably dating from the beginning of the 1990s, in which Dominique Venner underlines the real issue of the fall of Communism in the East: “This emerging movement, which has no name yet, repudiates liberalism as well as socialism. It is a return to the sources of the peoples.” (more…)

Some eminent notables have claimed that the American Civil War had substantial roots in literature. Mark Twain, for example, said of Sir Walter Scott that he was “in great measure responsible for the war.” That proposition is debatable, of course. This argument hinges on how much the widespread influence of his romanticized chivalric prose bolstered the South’s hyper-thumotic stance — in plainer words, piss and vinegar — which contributed to secession, and shortly thereafter a war that went horribly awry.
