In recent times, Woke Capital has become increasingly aggressive. The results included strange virtue-signaling the likes of which would have been unimaginable until not long ago. How much can the Limousine Leftists rub our noses in their bizarre values before customers refuse to put up with it? As the proverb goes, “Get woke, go broke.” More to the point, how long will it take for the corporations to learn the lesson? (more…)

You might not have heard, but Spain is currently undergoing its own version of a George Floyd moment. Scaled down, of course — nothing can really match American production value — but nonetheless, there is a storm brewing, one resembling what much of American sociopolitics has been reduced to: racism and victimhood grifting.

A storm — although in actual fact, it’s more like a tempest in a teacup, as is often the case with these sort of black grievances. It all started last weekend when the Real Madrid Football Club went to Valencia to play that city’s main football (or soccer, if you prefer) team. (more…)

Recently, Martinez Politics, whose commentary I usually enjoy, assumed a strong stance against fascism. Here are a few snippets from his Telegram posts on this topic:

Same end goal: “everything in the State, nothing outside the State” aka Communism.

Fascism says the State is supreme and you cannot rebuke it. There’s no reason to believe that only means specific states that you selectively choose to be loyal to, but all States. . . . But the people touting this Supreme Statist ideology don’t apply any of these standards consistently, but selectively/tactically, because they don’t actually believe in these principles at all.

Every few months or so, a mainstream news outlet rolls out another puff piece on “national conservatism,” Curtis Yarvin and Neoreaction, the “Dimes Square” scene, or the so-called “Intellectual Dark Web” (IDW). These subcultures have little in common apart from the fact that they are all vaguely Right-wing movements that evade the topic of race — and the media are keen to platform alternative political subcultures that do not address demographic displacement. Last year, Vanity Fair published a lengthy article on America’s “New Right” that discussed a range of Dissident Right figures and trends, but did not make a single mention of Counter-Currents or White Nationalism.

Librarians see themselves on the front lines on what it takes to bring revolution to the US. You need soldiers in the revolution so they are teaching kids to be little antifa activists who hate their own country and will act as a collective to bring about change. — Dan Kleinman of Safe Libraries, in the New York Post, September 10, 2022 (more…)

Part 2 of 3 (Part 1 here, Part 3 here)

As I hope I’ve shown in the first part of this series, embarrassment and/or humor are operative with virtually all people under all circumstances. The heart of clown world in the present is no exception; indeed, these elements played a big part in bringing our mad, mad world about, as I can attest from personal experience, having been in high school during the early years of the Global War on Terror and the ironically-named USA PATRIOT Act that gave it teeth.

We on the dissident Right hold that demographics is destiny in regards to race. If so, then it is natural that the same can be said for sub-racial genetic characteristics such as extremism, conscientiousness, and so on. Due to the fact that various waves of Europeans traveled across the Atlantic, the baseline for certain genetic traits among American whites is different from that which is found in our homeland of Europe.

It’s nearly April: The time for rain. As I write, there is a drenching downpour in my neck of the woods that has lasted all day. Being forced indoors for a spell has allowed me to reflect upon white advocacy at the end of 2023’s first quarter. (more…)

We overcame Jim Crow by 1965, but where was the promised land of universal brotherhood that Comrade Stanley Levison’s golem St. Dr. Rev. MLK Jr. promised us? In the 1970s, the earliest I was on the scene to remember it, there was a certain prickliness about race, but things were remarkably more laid back than in later times. (more…)
