Along with Mr. Deeds Goes to Town and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Meet John Doe is the third installment in Frank Capra’s trilogy of “everyman versus the establishment” films. Starring Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck, Meet John Doe is far from Frank Capra’s most celebrated work, but it is widely considered his most underrated. It’s now in the public domain. (more…)

2023 was the year when all of the dissident Right’s most fanciful, pie-in-the-sky “what ifs” came true. What if an eccentric billionaire came along and used his vast fortune to give us a platform? What if some high-profile Conservatism Inc. shills got red-pilled and started preaching White Nationalist talking points? What if the Overton window shifted so far to the Right that the Jewish question became mainstream? (more…)

Before black Little Mermaid, there was The Wiz.
The Wiz was an infamous 1978 remake of The Wizard of Oz featuring an all-black cast which included Diana Ross, a teenaged Michael Jackson, and Richard Pryor as The Wiz himself. The movie was based on an outrageously successful 1974 Broadway musical that was the Hamilton of the 1970s. (more…)

I haven’t talked about movement drama in a while. That’s because there hasn’t been much drama in a while. But when it rains, it pours. Over the last month, there has been a series of scandals and controversies that kept the conversations lively around the White Nationalist water cooler. Among them: (more…)

Note: There will be mega-spoilers in this article. A lot of the critical messaging of Leave the World Behind comes at the end, and requires me to give away the ending.
I first heard about Leave the World Behind on Twitter/X. The tweet informed me that it was a new Netflix movie made by Barak Obama’s production company, High Ground Productions; had something to do with the end of the world, when technology stops working; and had some anti-white overtones about white people not being trustable. I decided to watch based on that tweet. (more…)

Elon Musk-era Twitter/X has been a hell of a ride so far, and we got another big curveball this week with the unbanning of Alex Jones.
This came as a surprise for several reasons. First, a lot of people — including me — were under the impression that there was some kind of ultimate blacklist of people who were never going to be reinstated, and surely Alex Jones would be on that list — (more…)

Pro-Genocide Nazi Propaganda or Humanitarian Masterpiece?
Part 2Part 2 of 2 (Part 1 here)
A trial is held and several witness are called. Hanna inherited a substantial sum when her father died, and Hanna’s brother Edward — who never liked Thomas and thought he himself should have received the money — accuses Thomas of killing his wife in order to get her inheritance. (more…)

While researching my essay on Die große Liebe, I learned of the infamous pro-euthanasia Nazi film Ich Klage an. I’m glad I did. Oftentimes I watch these old cinematic artifacts for solely academic purposes, but with Ich Klage an, I found myself actually being engrossed in the story.
Ich Klage an, or I Accuse, is a propaganda film about a doctor whose wife becomes ill with multiple sclerosis, a rapidly progressive disease which destroys the nerves and reduces people to paralyzed vegetables. (more…)

I recently wrote about the new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, and his then-mysterious “adopted black son” whose existence Johnson only ever referenced for entirely cynical reasons. In 2019 he claimed before Congress that he had asked his adopted black son what he thought about slavery reparations and that he was against it. This was the first time he had ever mentioned having a black son, nor does it appear in any of his official biographies. (more…)

In light of the recent Dublin riots, I thought I would write something Irish-themed and settled on Troy Duffy’s The Boondock Saints, a cult Tarantino knockoff movie from 1999 with Irish-Catholic themes. In the process of researching this I discovered the documentary Overnight about the making of the film — which is actually a far more interesting movie in itself. You can watch it here.
The history of Hollywood is that of a power struggle between producers and directors. (more…)

It’s only been a week since Elon Musk took a stand on the Jewish Question, and yet so much has happened since then it almost feels like ancient history already. While it was a big win for the dissident Right, in the days that followed there were some minor black pills. (more…)

When we think of martyrs of race realism, the people whose lives and livelihoods were destroyed for promoting race realism, we naturally tend to think of academics and political commentators. James Watson, discoverer of DNA, was unpersoned and rendered unemployable for saying that Africans were less intelligent than other races. John Derbyshire, once a fan favorite among National Review readers, was expelled from Con Inc for his 2012 Takimag article “The Talk: Nonblack Version” in which he dropped a barrage of unpleasant yet undeniable facts about blacks.

There are people in the world who are said to have “fuck you money.” That’s when you have so much money and such financial security that you can go around being a complete bastard to everyone and say “fuck you” to whomever you please with little or no adverse consequences to one’s self.
Elon Musk has more than “fuck you money.” He has “name the Jew money.” Kanye West thought he had “name the Jew money,” but actually did not. Elon Musk really does. (more…)
