Few things are as mentally refreshing as looking at the world from a completely different perspective — to see things through the eyes of someone you don’t like and don’t agree with at all. If nothing else, it helps you sort out your own thoughts. (more…)

Russian Eurasianism: An Ideology of Empire
Washington, DC: Woodrow Wilson Center Press, 2012Eurasianism is the dominant ideology of Russia today, as well as of the “Stans” of Central Asia. Eurasianism is a civilizational ethos in its own right. It is a powerful subset of Orthodox civilization, which combines the destiny and cultures of the Russians and the Turkic people — either Orthodox or Muslim — in a single ideological narrative.

I met Béla Incze at the very intense sports camp of Légió Hungária (LH) in Hungary, as I previously wrote about. Béla is part of the group’s leadership. I was intrigued by his organization and its activities. I think a similar one could work in other European countries. Béla’s life story is also interesting, so I decided to interview him. We discussed sports, Hungarian politics, nationalist activities in Hungary, combat sports, the Hungarian youth, women, destroying a BLM statue, historical Hungary, holding demonstrations, and Viktor Orbán. I think we will hear more about him in the future. (more…)

Imagine you’re a young man who, despite his pronounced intelligence, lives in poverty. You are full of energy and vision, but lack the capital to achieve what you want to achieve. Furthermore, you have no marital or sexual prospects, and the only woman that’s been kind to you is a literal prostitute with an alcoholic father and an infirm mother. Not only that, but your family is facing such dire poverty that your sister is forced to marry a disgusting and immoral pervert who is more than twice her age just to spare herself and your elderly mother death from starvation.

II. To Winter Wonderlands
The road through the Almond and Raisin Gate led Nutcracker and Marie to Rock Candy Mountain and the Christmas Woods, Bon-Bonville, Marzipan Castle, and Jamburg. Upon crossing Lemonade River, six monkeys in red vests began “playing the most beautiful Turkish military music,” while they walked “farther and farther on multicolored tiles, which, however, were nothing but nicely filled lozenges.” (more…)

Part 1 of 2 (Part 2 here)
Like many of us this past season, I have had to endure far too many repetitions of the same 11 ”holiday” songs that fail to capture the essence of the season: the contemplative, dirge-y, or haunted side of winter, paired with the tasteful emotional warmth and childlike joy of Christmas. (more…)

In early March of this year, I wrote “Ukraine and Epistemic Failure Analysis” as a response to the Right’s collective failure to predict that Russia would invade Ukraine and initiate what has become the largest European war since that bit of unpleasantness with the Germans in the 1940s. That essay concerned itself with that very narrow failure of the nationalist Right to accurately predict the onset of war. Since then, that conflict has developed and expanded, and so have the Right’s reactions to it and its predictions as to its ongoing course. (more…)

Part of the ongoing narrative about the ongoing Ukraine War is the idea that it is analogous to the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Believing this analogy means one thinks this conflict can be resolved by hard thinking, a bit of compromise, and several diplomatic cables. (more…)

Mike Maxwell z nakladatelství Imperium Press přišel na substackovém účtu Imperium Press s dobře promyšleným protiargumentem mých postojů k válce na Ukrajině. Bílí nacionalisté by podle něj měli podporovat ruský vpád na Ukrajinu, jelikož Ukrajince podporují Spojené státy i drtivá většina členských zemí NATO, porážka Ukrajinců tudíž znamená porážku i pro naše vlády, což usnadní činnosti disentu.

Let’s talk about the coming potential collapse of Russia, as I mentioned in a previous post.
When the war began, Kremlin propaganda began showing maps of Europe divided into various schizophrenic pre-twentieth century borders. (more…)
