The day after Trump’s reelection, a record 115,000 X users deactivated their accounts. A week later, the microblogging site Bluesky—AKA “Twitter for Pedophiles”—boasted that it had gained a million new followers. (more…)

The media has gotten rather predictable. Today’s journalists seem like youthful guitarists who learn two chords and are thereby qualified to join a bar band. Once you’ve seen enough stories, the tropes start to look awfully familiar. For example, in news items about mass violence or heinous deeds attributed to “youths,” “teenagers,” or some other conspicuously nondescript reporting, what really happened? (more…)

The year was 2016. Donald Trump had just stunned the world by getting elected despite the entire media establishment being against him. The only support Trump had during his campaign was on the Internet, particularly the Alt Right, which was spreading across social media like a virus and pied-pipering the youth into White Nationalism.

What would become known as the Alt Right began to crystalize by the mid-2010s. The Alt Right introduced a style of White Nationalism that was so radically different than what came before that it was necessary to invent some terms to differentiate the two. Pre-Alt Right White Nationalism came to be referred to as White Nationalism 1.0 (WN 1.0). This encompassed groups such as the Klan, skinheads, the militia movement, and the efforts of individuals such as George Lincoln Rockwell, David Duke, William Pierce, and Tom Metzger. (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…)

Problém pozérů aneb nešíří se snad myšlenky pravicového disentu až příliš rychle?

Ještě v dobách největší slávy „alt-right“ (přibližně první polovina minulé dekády, pozn. DP) jsem si nejednou postesknul nad tím, že hnutí až nevyvratitelně spravedlivé je do takové míry obýváno lidmi morálně nepříliš vábnými. Nebyla to jistě celá a dokonce ani většina alternativní pravice, ale stěží jste mohli ujít více než pár pomyslných kroků, aniž byste narazili na nějakého narcistního sociopata, narkomana, zhýralce nebo zástupce jiného z nepřeberného množství protispolečenských osobnostních typů.

Winston Churchill once said that when Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union, he knew that Britain would not lose the war, and that when Germany declared war on the United States, the Allies would win. Well, when it comes to the whole “saving the white race” thing, I have arrived at a point where I am confident that we will not lose. By that I mean that I am now confident that we will be able to red-pill enough people in time to stave off complete racial annihilation.
Now, will we win? Will we able to take back our countries and banish the non-white hordes from our midst? Eh . . . Honestly, I don’t know. (more…)

Back in 2008 I asked my dad how many Madonna songs he could name. He could only think of one: “Like a Virgin.” I found that amusing since Madonna had been an omnipresent cultural icon for a quarter of a century. (more…)

There’s been a lot of talk lately about the “2016 energy” returning to Twitter/X. That was a magical time when all the factions of the non-establishment Right came together for a single purpose. The Alt Right, the Alt Lite, Right-wing libertarians, and millions of normie MAGA conservatives formed a unified front to get Trump elected. (more…)

The Jewish Question is going mainstream — at least on Elon Musk’s Twitter/X. Major Con Inc. figures such as Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson have felt the need to begin addressing issues of Jewish influence, and conspiracy-theory grifters such as Stew Peters have started incorporating JQ talking points into their brands. Certainly any Right-wing content creator whose online persona is based on being edgy now has to at minimum be talking about Zionism. (more…)

Back in the days of the Alt Right, I used to lament that a movement whose cause was so irrefutably just was filled with so many awful people. It wasn’t everyone or even a majority of the Alt Right, but you couldn’t walk a few feet in it without bumping into a narcissistic sociopath, a drug addict, a degenerate, or some other type of anti-social personality type.
But what could we do? If one has ideas that will cost one everything if publicly expressed, then it stands to reason that a high percentage of the people willing to express such ideas are going to be those with nothing to lose. (more…)
