Two of the biggest stories of the last week look as though they couldn’t differ more. The release of additional police bodycam footage of the murder of Henry Nowak in the UK needs following as closely as any film script, and we will. We all need to be film reviewers here. It shows something about the state of Britain, and the way in which its citizens are policed, particularly its white citizens, which the political and media class don’t want those citizens to notice.

I have been watching videos of Jared Taylor, Keith Woods, and David Zsutty making an elevator pitch to billionaires, and the exercise raises a question that most people would rather not seriously engage with: why not? The instinctive answer is brand risk. Billionaires, so the argument goes, cannot afford to have their names associated with white identity politics, because the association conjures images of extremism, historical atrocity, and social toxicity that no amount of philanthropic goodwill can offset.

If there ever was a wrong choice of director for a movie, it was David Lean in his 1984 adaptation of EM Forster’s 1924 novel A Passage to India. By no means does this make A Passage to India a bad movie. In many respects it is a better movie than the novel is a novel. Lean applies his characteristic vision and vastness of scope to the story of interracial friendship within the British Raj, and the result is a pure delight for the eyes. (more…)

Simon Webb’s “History Debunked” YouTube channel is an excellent source for race realist content. Without fail, Webb delivers lucid arguments which squash ideology whenever it runs afoul of demonstrable fact. (more…)

Aging well is one of the best signs of how inspired a movie is—especially for comedies. To make audiences laugh the filmmakers must share certain frames of reference with them—things against which other things can go splat, so to speak. Since frames of reference change over time, making lasting comedies often requires finding the right frames of reference. (more…)

While Trump 2.0 may have put the idea of red state secession in the United States somewhat on hold for at least the next four years, it has implanted the very same idea in Canada. Using the massive US-Canada trade imbalance as a starting point, Trump is putting his America-first policies into play by tariffing Canada as much as Canada has been tariffing the United States.

Through the eyes of a commoner, the life of an aristocrat may seem blissful and otherworldly. At least, that’s how it must have been in Knut Hamsun’s day when he wrote Victoria. As his second novel, it was originally entitled Bjørger when it was published in Norway in 1878, but was adapted twenty years later into Victoria, an uncommon love story with a common theme: lovers separated by the chasm of class.

The Dissident Right overlaps with the environmental movement in an interesting place, and epidemiologist Shanna Swan tells us all about it in her recent book, Count Down. The subtitle to this popular science volume is a real mouthful: “How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race.”

Knut Hamsun’s 1917 classic Growth of the Soil seems to defy the fundamental conflicts found in most fiction. It is a mystifying novel. One can pigeonhole it as modern with its use of stream of consciousness, flashbacks, and other literary techniques. It’s also considered part of a literary movement called Norwegian New Realism, which was highly influential beyond Norway in the first half of the Twentieth Century. Most interesting for dissidents, the novel reflects the near mystical connection Man has with the soil, consecrated through hard work and family. (more…)

I’m one of those lonely people who red-pilled himself. It happened twice: Once in my early twenties and once in my early forties. And since a commenter on my previous article “The Tipping Point” asked for me to explain how that happened, I thought I’d share.
I became aware of the critical nature of race — vis-à-vis blacks and whites — in my early twenties after a few years of living on my own post-college. I can trace it back to the day I started paying my own taxes. (more…)
