Wish Me Luck

I'm about to change my computer's operating system from Windows XP to Windows 7, formatting my hard drive in the process.  Hopefully I won't end up turning my computer into a brick.  I hate doing scary computer stuff.  

If all goes well, I'll post an update here soon.  But if I should disappear from the internets for an extended period, you'll know why.

Here we go...


Update:  Everything seems to have gone alright, although I did have some difficulties getting back online.  This newfangled operating system is going to take some getting used to, though.  Everything looks weird.

Memes

I know I haven't been posting much here lately.  I'm working on some things, but in the meantime, enjoy some memes.  I just found these ones, and they're pretty good.  Steal them and post them to Facebook to infuriate normies.  These are a few of my favorites, but there are many more here.

QOTD: Umpqua Community College Murderer

I won't contribute to his fame by naming him or posting his picture, but the killer had this to say in a blog post made on August 31:

"I have noticed that so many people like him [Vester Flannagan] are all alone and unknown, yet when they spill a little blood, the whole world knows who they are. A man who was known by no one, is now known by everyone. His face splashed across every screen, his name across the lips of every person on the planet, all in the course of one day. Seems the more people you kill, the more you're in the limelight."

Gee, I wonder why these shootings keep happening?

Clock Boy

Lest I be accused of knee-jerk racism, let me first say that I was initially sympathetic with Ahmed Mohamed, after seeing the mainstream TV news version of the story.  We all know that schools will call the cops and suspend kids over practically nothing, such as nibbling a pop tart into a vaguely gun-like shape and other equally nefarious deeds.  I figured some brainless cat-lady teacher wet herself and called the cops at the sight of a box with wires in it, giving the kid no chance to explain himself or his invention.  I've seen it happen myself in similar circumstances, one of them involving a catalog with knives in it over which the state police were called, so naturally it's what I assumed happened here.

Of course, if your name is Ahmed Mohamed or something similar you should probably know enough to expect some nervous reactions when you show up with something that looks like this,
but it seemed reasonable to chalk the incident up to a massive overreaction by the school.

Except that it didn't exactly happen that way.

One thing that really irritates me about this story is the nature of Mohamed's "invention."  He claims to have made it to impress his engineering teacher, and has since had praise heaped upon him in surreal fashion by the President of the United States, and MIT astrophysicist Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, who told him, "You are the kind of student that we want at places like MIT and Harvard."  But he either does not know what the word "invention" means, or is deliberately abusing the term.  He has not invented anything.  He has not even built a clock.  What he actually did was take apart an alarm clock and put its internal parts loosely into a box.  It may seem like I am being a bit harsh considering that he is fourteen years old, but the level of praise being gushed all over him for his alleged scientific prowess is ridiculous.  If he had actually put together some electronics components and made a functional clock, it would have been somewhat impressive.  But he literally took apart a clock, and put its guts in a box, repeatedly referring to the mess as "my invention".  A box of wires and doodads that any sane person would be nervous to see in the hands of a Muslim.

A closer examination of his behavior reveals that he may have had motivations other than impressing his engineering teacher, who looked at it and wisely advised him to keep it hidden.  The incident began in Mohamed's English class, where, as is explained in the video posted below, he apparently plugged the device into an outlet and set the alarm clock to go off in the middle of class.  Not a smart move, if he intended to keep a low profile.  There is also the fact that he chose to do this on the first school day after the anniversary of 9-11.   He has changed some details of his story, and when confronted by his English teacher and then the police, he refused to adequately explain himself or the device, simply insisting "It's a clock," with no further explanation.  When being interrogated, he never mentioned the engineering teacher, who might have vouched for him.

He was suspended for bringing a hoax bomb to school.  In light of the relevant evidence, this does not seem unreasonable, possibly even lenient.  Despite his protestations and claims of innocent motivations, his actions seem to have been deliberately calculated to generate an incident.  This looks very much like a premeditated act of disruption, intended to generate backlash against perceived "Islamophobia."

Stephan Molyneux presents evidence that this may have been a publicity stunt on behalf of Mohamed's father, who apparently nurtures delusions of being a great religious leader.  This, coupled with the public outpouring of sympathy, national attention, endless praise, and thousands of dollars in donations that Ahmed Mohamed has received, leads me to believe that he is in fact a little shit who got exactly the reaction that he wanted from his school.  Moly once again dons his Shitlord hat and lays it out in full detail in this video, pointing out the asinine, race-baiting narrative being spun, with no libertardian commentary to speak of:

Much of the country seems to be too busy tripping over themselves in their progressive ardor to signal their Islamophilic enlightenment to see what is really going on here.  The real lesson is that this, and much, much worse will continue happening until the sand people are made to go home.

Moly Gets It

Even at the height of my Libertarian fervor, I was never much of a fan of Stephan Molyneux.  His ideas about parenting and the cult-like vibe of his fans were too much for me.  But, ironically, I find myself watching his videos fairly often these days.  He has actually been putting out some pretty good material on some topics.

A point that I have tried to make in a couple of pieces on this blog is that the values of White people, regardless of whether they are conservatives, liberals, libertarians, or whatever else, including the most cucked anti-racist progressives, are essentially White European values; and that when White countries become flooded by angry hordes from alien cultures, those values will cease to have any meaning.    Moly, of all people, seems to understand this, and does a pretty damn good job of explaining it in this video.  I started watching it, half expecting to hear a bunch of bull about how borders are arbitrary lines on a map, drawn by evil statists, but there is none of that here.


There are a few subtle things that he says here that I disagree with, but in general he hits the nail on the head.  More people need to wake up to this if Western Civilization is going to survive the wave of hostile alien invaders pouring into Europe.  I would like to have written something about the ongoing "migrant" crisis, and may yet do so, but at the moment I find the subject too infuriating.

Stephan Molyneux seems to have taken a bit of a right turn, and some speculate that he might actually be a closeted White Nationalist.  He still holds the bizarre view that spanking children is the root of all statist misery in the world, but his recent videos on the subject of race and demographics have been excellent attacks on the PC narrative.   I also recommend this comprehensive video on the historical realities of slavery, including the suppressed history of Muslims enslaving Europeans.

Moly is worth keeping an eye on.

Random Thought of the Day

If you take the logic behind the liberal view of transgenderism and apply it to women with anorexia, then what they really are is fat women trapped in skinny women's bodies.  Calling it a mental illness or saying that they should be "helped" makes you an ignorant bigot.  Just because you weigh 60 pounds doesn't mean that you can't see yourself as fat.  OMG, so much this, its 2015, I can't even.

The same logic also has some interesting implications regarding guys that think they're Napoleon, or Jesus.

Time to Wake the Saxons

It seems that Jesse Benn's wish came true.  Two young White people were murdered on live television by an angry Black man on the morning of August 26.  They didn't attack anyone, unlike Michael Brown or Trayvon Martin.  They were simply killed for being White.  According to the media and liberal commenters, White racism and guns are to blame.  The narrative being spun puts me in mind of this poem:


THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
by Rudyard Kipling

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy -- willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddenly bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.

QOTD: Jonathan Bowden


"Liberalism is moral syphilis. And I'm stepping over it."
-Jonathan Bowden

Jonathan Bowden was one of the greatest thinkers and speakers of the Right.  Sadly, he died much too soon in 2012, of a heart attack.  I was captivated from the first of his orations that I listened too, which was a speech entitled "Western Civilization Bites Back."  A search for "Jonathan Bowden" on YouTube will turn up a multitude of lectures and speeches by Bowden on a number of fascinating topics.

This quote comes from another talk called "Credo: A Nietzschean Testament" which can be read or listened to here.  For the casual viewer, I want to point out that by "liberalism," Bowden doesn't simply mean the sort bitched about by Michael Savage or Rush Limbaugh; he means all of Liberalism, from Classical Liberalism on, from the first emergence of the Left.  The entire stinking mess, the syphilitic rot that threatens to destroy our civilization. 

I'm stepping over all of it.

The disapearance of White Identity

This post is somewhat of a continuation of this one, separated so as to avoid tarring the swordsmith featured in that piece with the brush of "racism."

I first began to become "red pilled" on the subject of race when I realized the degree to which White identity is marginalized and denied in the modern world.  This is still the essence of my racialist views.  I am infuriated by the widespread belief that White people have no culture, and no interests that need looking after, that we should just disconnect from our "racist" past and allow ourselves to be bred out of existence.  The White race is portrayed as a faceless monster which sprang from nothingness, that has only oppressed and stolen from other cultures.

I didn't become aware of this trend overnight.  The process took several years, but I vividly remember the moment that it began.  One night about eight or ten years ago, I was reading a collection of essays about Appalachian culture.  I forget the name of the book, it is packed away somewhere now.  One of the essays contained a statement to the effect of assuring that Appalachian culture is not just a lame attempt at White ethnicity.  Attempt at White ethnicity?  I didn't understand.  I had always assumed that White people have an ethnic background like everyone else in the world, but this statement seemed to imply that White people have no ethnicity.  It also seemed to imply that White people "attempting" to have or express ethnicity is a bad thing.

Well, I thought, Maybe I just don't understand it.  I continued reading, but that phrase, lame attempt at White ethnicity, remained subconsciously at the back of my mind.  Over the years it would resurface occasionally, like the tip of an iceberg, when I would see "cultured" Whites on television, in books, and in real life, praising other cultures, other ethnicities, and other religious or philosophical traditions, but never their own.  I still didn't make the connection, but it would trigger the faint whisper, ...attempt at White ethnicity... with the implication that we have none of our own.

With every liberal exhortation to "get some culture," every celebration of "diversity," and every Cultural Marxist critique of White historical figures as pathological old dead white guys, my awareness grew until it finally dawned on me in full consciousness; every mainstream use of the word "ethnicity" means non-White ethnicity.  Every reference to "culture" means non-White culture.  Diversity means the proliferation of non-Whites to the point of demographic replacement.  White history is nothing but a series of crimes and cultural thefts.  Even the shallow, tepid version of European history taught in public schools is too Eurocentric, too White.  All mainstream discussion of racial issues consists of the fanciful grievances of non-Whites against Whites.  Indeed, we are told over and over that race does not exist--but what is really meant by this is that the White race does not exist; no good anti-racist would ever directly claim that the African or Asian races don't exist.  Even Jews are a race when it suits them.  But not us.  Whites are a social construct, which we apparently constructed ourselves; but to dwell too long on this paradox is to risk madness.

The orthodox narrative is full of such paradoxes.  All races are equal (and of course race doesn't exist anyway), and yet Blacks are oppressed by "White Supremacy" (not "supremacists" or "supremacism", but by the sheer intellectual and economic superiority of Whites, according to many anti-racists).  Others believe that the United States is in fact controlled by a vast White Supremacist conspiracy, despite evidence to the contrary in the form of the constant anti-racist, anti-White narrative being pushed in all schools and mainstream media.  Whites are portrayed as uniquely oppressive, and uniquely "racist," despite the fact that White identity and advocacy of White interests are all but nonexistent, and racial consciousness and identity are common in every other race.  Thus, when Malik Zulu Shabbazz or Khalid Abdul Muhammad openly advocate the mass murder of White people, it is not racist.  But when Jared Taylor talks about White identity, it is taken as evidence of genocidal hatred.

A Civil Rights activist.

A hateful bigot.  

To suggest that these captions should be reversed is racist.

The lesson that is taught to Whites is that you have no race, you have no identity.  No real culture, no real history.  Nothing to be proud of.  You are the cancer of human history.  Any community of White people is at best boring and repressive, and needs to be improved by an infusion of Somalis, culturally enriched by vibrant Blacks, Muslims, and Latinos.  And any objection means that you are a racist, a Nazi, a monster, twisted by hate, from whom decent people must be protected.  This all passes under the noses of thoroughly indoctrinated and de-rascinated Whites without much notice.  Most want only to be socially acceptable and avoid accusations of racism.  But when one becomes of the lies and the scale of the assault on White identity, it is infuriating.  The surprising thing about the Dylan Roof incident is that it doesn't happen every week.

The erosion of White identity has been a deliberate move by the Left.  It's course can be traced through Boasian anthropology, the Psychoanalytic movement, the Frankfurt School of sociology, and any other intellectual movement embraced by the Left which has wormed its way into the mainstream.

All of this needs to be stopped, and reversed.  People are drawn to the Alt Right and Reactosphere because they are aware that Western Civilization is in dire peril.  Western Civilization is White Civilization, and it cannot be saved without a rebirth of White identity.  That must be our first goal.  Of all the cultural and ideological damage that has been done to the West, the destruction of White identity is possibly the worst, and in my opinion is the first that needs to be corrected, because Whites will not begin to care about saving their Tradition, their civilization, or any of the higher ideas of the Right until they care about their own race.

QOTD: Greg Johnson

Today's quote of the day is from Greg Johnson, Editor-in-Chief of Counter-Currents Publishing.  The entire article can be read here.

"This is the story of our whole race in a nutshell. More whites are dying than being born, and whites are being replaced by non-whites in our own homelands. And what will happen to our history, our culture, and all our precious stuff when there are no white people around to care about it? Most of it will go in the dumpster."

The story that Greg Johnson is referring to is that of an elderly woman who lived next door to him, who passed away a few months ago.  She apparently had no family, or at least none who cared about her possessions, most of which were left in her house when it was bought by an Asian family.  As they emptied the house, the woman's books were put in bundles on the curb for recycling.  One of the bundles contained a Latin bible, printed in 1618.  According to Greg, it contained inscriptions indicating that it had been in the same family since the 1600's.  It's value in terms of the heritage it represented for the family that owned it must have been priceless.  But the family that owned it died out, and all of that heritage goes in the dumpster because there was no one left to appreciate it.  The home's new Asian owners were uninterested even in the book's monetary value as an antique.  As Greg says, it really a metaphor for what is happening to the White race.

This is a theme that I have been hammering on recently, particularly in a piece that I have been working on and hopefully will publish in a day or two.  The things that White people care about will go in the dumpster of history when we are not there to protect them.

Counter-Currents Publishing is a wealth of fascinating articles on various topics.  I highly recommend checking them out.

QOTD: Julius Evola

I would like to start making "Quote of the Day" a regular feature.  Probably not every day, but as close to it as I can manage.  For today, here's Julius Evola again on democracy and aristocracy.  From Men Among the Ruins:

"We may add that the system that was established in Europe through the advent of democracies (i.e., the majority system based on universal suffrage) is characterized from the start by the degradation of the ruling class.  In fact, the majority, being free from every restriction and qualitative clause, is necessarily on the side of the lower social strata; in order to win the favors of these strata and be elected to office by their votes, it will always be necessary to speak the only language they understand and to give priority to their predominant interests (which are naturally the most coarse, material, and illusory), always promising but never demanding.  Thus, every democracy is also a school of immorality, an offence to the dignity and inner code of conduct that ought to be the trademark of a true political class."


This is a much more eloquent and accurate statement of the problem expressed in the variously-attributed quote, "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury."  An egalitarian democracy with universal suffrage is 99% of the way to socialism, and especially when combined with "diversity" will inevitably descend into Gibsmedat.

Battle Light--A Beacon of European Culture

I very rarely find myself moved by a piece of art as much as I am by this beautiful sword crafted by swordsmith Petr Florianek.  This piece was made for an exhibition of swords by contemporary smiths at the Deutsches Klingenmuseum.  The theme of the exhibition is "sword of piercing light."  Florianek's piece is called Beadoleoma, "Battle Light."  Every feature of the sword is symbolic of Northern European culture and civilization, which I will let the maker explain himself in this video.  I recommend watching it in full screen.


More pictures can be seen here, and his website is here.  This is the kind of thing that I wish more people appreciated.  This sword offers a brief glimpse into a history and culture that spans millennia, a heritage that has been mostly forgotten.  It is a reminder that we come from somewhere, from something. 

Few people, if any, appreciate the history and culture of ancient Europe as much as the students and makers of historical European  blades.  Pursuing this interest definitely spurred my research into European history.  I don't know whether racialist views are more common among bladesmiths of the European tradition; if so, they keep it to themselves, which is to be expected in today's world where a "racist" post on the internet can cost one his job.  Controversial subjects are discouraged on bladesmithing forums.  I in no way wish to imply that Petr Florianek or any other smiths have any racial opinions one way or the other, but I appreciate what their craft does to help preserve our history.

This sword has inspired me to write about the topic of White identity and the disappearance of it, but I will save that  for a future post.

EPA Dumps Millions of Gallons of Chemicals into River


This is why we need a government agency to...uh...Shit.

This kind of thing is what made me an anti-statist.  Now it just makes me want to sterilize everyone below a certain IQ level.

The Efficacy of Working Within the System

Regarding working within the system to pursue political solutions to our problems, there are three main views on the Right.

1.  Vote for Republicans, because they are not Democrats.  Back Republican nominees that are the most likely to win, because "winning" is the most important thing.  Supporting some extremist like Trump is a vote for Hillary.

This is the most common view among the mainstream Right.  Variations on it are occasionally heard in some areas of the Alt Right as well.  This is essentially the Right taking orders from the Left; avoiding topics that the Left declares taboo, affirming a belief in basic Leftist ideals (democracy, equality, social welfare programs, anti-racism), and supporting candidates that the Left finds less objectionable.  How's that working for you so far?

2.  Worse is better.  If you are going to vote, vote for the most deranged Leftists on the ballot.  Leftist policies will eventually collapse their own system, as increasing levels of degeneracy wake people up and cause conservatives to revolt.

This is believed by a lot of people, but, I suspect, practiced by very few.  This approach has slightly more merit than the first, but I still find it lacking.  Leftist nutbags are in some ways the best recruiters for the Right, but I don't believe that enabling the Left will in any way hasten some kind of conservative revolution.  Conservatives could have revolted against Leftist policies in almost any decade of the twentieth century, but they didn't, and I doubt that they ever will.  Advancing the anti-White agenda seems likely to result in Whites becoming a minority in the US with no hope of recovery, and unlikely to result in an increase of White racial consciousness.  If the Federal government started confiscating guns, and began herding Whites into ghettos after seizing their assets for redistribution, there might--might--be a revolution; but it would be a half-assed affair put on by disorganized NASCAR-Americans who can't agree on anything, and would probably fail.  Helping the enemy does not help us.

Another possible outcome of "worse is better" is what I like to call the Condor Option; the Leftist government goes full retard, and is then overthrown by a right-wing military coup.  Probably the best outcome that could be realistically hoped for, but I wouldn't bet on it happening.  I think that the Left is well aware of this possibility, and has been aggressively purging the military of  any potential Pinochets.  Earlier this year, Army recruits were made to march in red high-heels so that they can better understand the plight of women.  Do not count on the military saving us.

3.  Working within the system accomplishes nothing.  Voting doesn't work.  No political candidates represent our views, and no one that does could ever be elected.  Working within the system just makes you become the system.

A common view among the edgier segments of the Right, particularly Libertarian/AnCaps, and White Nationalists.  This is the worst of these three choices, although I believed it myself for a long time.  The appeal of this view is a childish belief that, if there is no silver bullet political solution to our problems, then we might as well not use the system at all.  Those who believe this might point out that we should be working outside of the system, to spread information and seek converts.  I agree, and I would say that doing what we do on the internet, commenting on articles, engaging in discussion, and producing youtube videos or blog posts and supporting others who do so, accomplishes more than many realize.  This is evidenced by leftists whining about how the internet has become a "sewer hole" of right-wing trolls.  Intelligent "trolling" and meme warfare is making a difference.  The "cuckservative" meme going viral is an example.  But refusing to operate within the political system is just ceding ground to the Left for no good reason.  The Alt Right will continue to be perceived as maladroit losers until we gain legitimacy through political action.  As to the claim that working within the system makes you become the system, that's pretty much the goal, isn't it?  Leftist revolutionaries worked within the system, now they are the system.

While the various Edgelords of the Far Right sit around and say that working within the system is useless, Leftists enjoy the full control of all mainstream institutions, from which they dictate public opinion and decide what is allowed to be discussed.  The Left achieved this level of control by working within the system.  They took control because they are organized, they fight amongst themselves much less than we do, and they play the long game.  It took them 100 years to achieve cultural hegemony by the long march through the institutions of power, but they have done it.  No, you will never elect an ideal Libertarian, Paleoconservative, or White Nationalist president, or other right-wing flavor of your choosing.  Even if you did, it wouldn't fix much; he would still have the rest of the bureaucracy and institutions to contend with.  But we must learn to take what small gains we can, and build on them for the long haul.

Some equate working within the system as playing by the enemy's rules.  I think that the opposite is more true.  The idea that we should refrain from any kind of political action could not be more harmful to the Right if it had been deliberately planted by the Left, which I am not sure that it wasn't.  Donald Trump is a good example, sadly perhaps the only example, of someone on the Right who is working within the system without playing by the Left's rules.  I won't waste time here going through all of the many legitimate criticisms of Trump; he is certainly not some crusading savior of the Right, nor is he anything remotely resembling a Randian hero of business and commerce.  Donald Trump is popular because he said that he would build a wall on the border, and make the Mexicans pay for it, because a lot of Americans on some level want mass immigration to stop.  When he is predictably accused of "racism" or attacked in other ways by the Left, Trump does not play by the rules.  According to the rules of the Left, when a White cis-het male is accused of crimethink, he is to prostrate himself in shame before the moral authority of the Left, apologize profusely, and beg forgiveness.  Trump does not do this.  When attacked, he attacks back, and makes his attackers look ridiculous.

Maybe his talk about building a wall is only an empty campaign promise, and maybe his edgy statements about immigration are only a calculated attempt to capitalize on the segment of the population that agrees with them, but in either case it doesn't matter.  Trump has already single-handedly moved the Overton Window perceptibly to the right.  Intentional or not, genuine or not, Trump is sowing seeds of a rebirth of race realism, White identity and American nationalism.  For now, public opposition to mass immigration must be couched in terms of illegal immigration, of drug dealers and rapists coming over the border, but if we can keep the Overton Window moving, eventually the real issue of demographic replacement will come out.  This is the kind of goal that we should advance by working within, and without, the system.  Even if he isn't elected, Trump is useful to our cause.

Much of what is wrong with the Right is due to the combination of the three attitudes listed at the beginning of this piece.  At the same time, I think that there is an element of truth in each of them.  From the first, we must learn to compromise enough to support political candidates who advance our interests even slightly, even if they do not wholly endorse our ideas, or even disagree with them; i.e. we should use people like Trump, though not be used by them. From the second, we should make the best of our political defeats.  As I've already mentioned, Leftists are sometimes the best recruiters of the right.  The presidency of Barrack Obama has led to an increased awareness of racial issues pertaining to the perpetual victim status of Blacks; who knows what kind of crimethink might spread should Bernie Sanders become president.  A Democrat winning because a slightly edgier candidate took votes away from a mainstream Republican is not as bad as ceding all political representation of the Right to Standard Republican Party cuckservatives.  We must occasionally take risks, and make the best of the results.  From the third, we should continue the fight outside of the system, which goes without saying.  We now live in the Internet Age.  Unlike Leftist-controlled television and newspapers, where approved discourse is tightly controlled and any dissent can misrepresented in order to slander the Right, the internet is a more level playing field.  The online battle of ideas is more significant than many realize.  We are gaining traction in that battle, but we must turn some of that momentum into political power if we are going to prevent the Left from shutting down internet discussion through "hate speech" legislation.

It's a big shit sandwich, and we all need to take a bite.

Evola on Being a Reactionary (and Cuckservatives)



I received a copy of Men Among the Ruins by Julius Evola in the mail today.  I read this in the first pages, and thought that it was worth sharing here, given the title and theme of my blog.

     Otherwise, another watchword is to be preferred, namely reaction.  To adopt it and call oneself  "reactionary" is a true test of courage.  For quite some time, Left-wing movements have made the term "reaction" synonymous with all kinds of iniquity and shame; they never miss an opportunity to thereby stigmatize all those who are not helpful to their cause and who do not go with the flow, or do not follow what, according to them, is the "course of History."  While it is very natural for the Left to employ this tactic, I find it unnatural the sense of anguish that the term often induces in people, due to their lack of political, intellectual, and even physical courage; this lack of courage plagues even the representatives of the so-called Right or "national conservatives," who, as soon as they are labeled "reactionaries," protest, exculpate themselves, and try to show that they do not deserve the label.  
     What is the Right expected to do?  While activists of the Left are "acting" and carrying forward the process of world subversion, is a conservative supposed to refrain from reacting and rather to look on, cheer them on, and even help them along the way?

This is as relevant today as it was when it was written, in 1972.  At the end, Evola aptly describes cuckservatives, who are today as liberal as the Liberals of Evola's day.  As flattering as the second sentence is, in my own case I don't think that calling myself a reactionary is particularly courageous.  I have nothing to lose, so I might as well speak up.

Men Among the Ruins looks like an interesting read.

The Allure of the Confederacy

This is a continuation of my previous post, which you might want to scroll down and take a peek at first if you have not already seen it.

The Civil War's place in modern American culture becomes more and more interesting the more one looks into it.  This is the only country in which citizens gather to re-live the nation's bloodiest civil conflict, complete with authentic uniforms and functional firearms and artillery.  If fights ever break out between Confederate and Union reenactors, I have never heard of it.  This says something about the character of Americans.

I find it interesting that the strongest opinions regarding the Civil War seem to be on the side of the Confederacy.  Not that most people are Confederate sympathizers, by any means.  Liberals think that the Civil War was fought to free the slaves, and that Southerners were all either vicious racists or were duped by rich plantation owners.  But excluding people who believe this middle-school social studies version of history, those who actually know something about the Civil War are likely to either think that the South's defeat was a tragedy, or else think "Well, it's good that the country stayed whole, I guess."  Nobody really gets fired up about the Union.

About two years ago, I began to wonder why the Confederacy had so much appeal among libertarians and even anarchists, which is strange considering that the Confederacy was hardly a libertarian or anti-statist endeavor.  I realized that it was because the South lost.  Because of this, people are free to project their own ideals onto the Confederacy, and their most charitable imaginings of what might have been.  Heroes of the South like Robert E. Lee will forever remain cryogenically preserved in their finest hour, aristocratic gentlemen standing heroically against the aggression of crass power and financial interests.

Had the South won, it would have been a different story.  Lee, or Jackson had he lived, would have gone on to be the next president of the CSA.  He would have been criticized for his handling of slavery.  Criticized for his handling of Indians.  Of Mexico.  Of foreign relations with Europe.  Of economic policy and trade.  The North would have made every effort to sabotage and discredit every move the Confederacy made, and harp on every blunder.  Had the Southern cause been successful, it would not be so idealized today.

The Confederate flag is a powerful symbol to people across the right-wing spectrum, even in the North.  To Libertarians and proponents of small government, it represents resistance to encroaching government power.  To racially aware Whites, it represents White culture and identity and resistance to the anti-racist, anti-White narrative.  To others, it represents the rebellion of traditional values against the modern, the rural against the urban, agrarian against industrial, noble against the common, aristocratic against the egalitarian.  People on the losing sides of these conflicts often identify with the Confederacy, even if the meaning is only perceived subconsciously by those who chose to signal their dissatisfaction with the modern world by displaying the Confederate flag.


I think that identification with the Confederacy for many people serves as a surrogate for the cause that we do not have, and the identity that has been denied us.  Perhaps it is fitting that the Lost Cause should symbolize the ideals of the Right, which have been on the wrong side of history for so long.  White ethnic identity has been pathologized almost to the point of nonexistence.  Americans are divided between Left and Right, and the Right is itself fragmented and crippled by infighting, and without any meaningful representation in government.  The Republican Party seems determined to serve the interests of anyone but its own constituency, who are united by little except for blind loyalty to a government that could hardly do more to betray them.  When I listen to the song that I wrote about in my previous post, the line that moves me the most is "If I must die for my home and land, my spirit will not falter.  Here's my heart and here's my hand, upon my country's altar."  I believe that there is a longing among many on the Right for a cause that is worthy of that kind of commitment, for something to fight for. 

Will the South rise again?  I doubt it.  White identity and conservative American values might be stronger in the South, but the conflicts in American culture can no longer be neatly geographically divided.  However, the Confederate flag is likely to endure as a symbol of the values of the Right for a long time to come, especially now that Leftists are waging war on anything Confederate.  Hopefully this assault will anger some Americans into standing up for their own racial and cultural interests.

Sunday Earworm

I've had this song stuck in my head for about four days.


I've been a fan of old-time music for most of my life.  For the uninitiated, old-time is what American folk music used to be before the dirty Bolshevists ruined it.  Most people confuse it with bluegrass because of the fiddle and banjo, but bluegrass is a different kind of music, a modern fusion of old-time, blues, gospel, and jazz.  Old-time is a sound of what America used to be, an obscure relic known by few except for clawhammer banjo players.

One of my favorites is the Second South Carolina String Band, a band of Confederate Civil War reenactors, From Pennsylvania despite the name of the band.  They play Southern Civil War-era music as authentically as possible, even using period-correct instruments.  Their sound is unique.  What really does it for me is the drumming and flute along with the fiddle and banjo.  Particularly in the case of this song, which wouldn't be the same without the drum.

The humanity of this song kicks me right in the feels.  It tells the story of a man who says goodbye to his family and marches off to give his life for his country; a story that could be told of any war, but for many people the cause of the Confederacy continues to have an emotional pull despite having been defeated 150 years ago, even among those who are not Southerners, as evidenced by the Confederate flag bumper stickers, decals, teeshirts and actual flags that I frequently see here in Connecticut.

A great deal of romanticism surrounds the Confederacy.  I intend to explore the subject, but I will save that for another post.  Today, it's all about the music.

Why it Matters

Recently I have been struggling to make YouTube videos.  I am battling my annual Summer insomnia, and have been doing a lot of reading which has rustled my jimmies into the stratosphere.  There are a million topics that I would like to talk about and several planned videos that I have not gotten to yet, but lately I seem to be incapable of producing an extemporaneous video that is worth a damn.  So, I decided to try my hand at blogging once again.

I will start with a topic that I intended to tackle on my YouTube channel a few weeks ago, about the real issues that we face, and why the racial and cultural topics that I have been discussing for the last several months matter.  I started to get into it with a video titled "Why I am No Longer an Anarchist," which I am afraid came off quite badly and missed the most important point that I had intended to make.  If I had been more on point, I would have titled it "Why I No Longer Care about Anarchy," which more accurately represents my feelings on the subject.

After having been an evangelistic Libertarian/AnCap vlogger on You Tube for several years, I am simply no longer interested in the radical individualist, anti-statist aspect of the liberty movement.  At this point, I don't know what to make of people who are angry because they can't smoke weed in the park, but are unfazed at the prospect of the United States becoming a Hispanic, Spanish-speaking country, or of Northern Europe becoming a caliphate.  I have no use for such fools.

The libertarian movement is blind to the real problems that threaten our freedom, and has been thoroughly infiltrated with leftist egalitarian ideas.  Libertarianism now seems to represent little besides vice and hyper individualism, and attempts to appease the Left by signalling as anti-racist and helping to deconstruct traditional Western values and institutions.

There is still much about libertarianism that I agree with.  I am as firmly libertarian as one can possibly be on the subject of weapons ownership.  I believe that the Austrian school of economics is more correct than anyone other system.  I hate it that the strong are penalized in order to subsidize the weak and incompetent.  And I truly hope that one day an alternative to taxation can be found.  I am, in fact, essentially a practicing Agorist.  I avoid in any way possible giving support to a government that actively seeks to dispossess me and destroy all that I value.  I believe that minimal government is the ideal, and if the creation of a stable anarchic polity every becomes possible, then I am all for it.  But I came to realize that most of what I hate about the state is not necessarily part and parcel of governments and nation states, but is the result of Leftist control and policies.

The real, life or death problems that we face today are the demographic replacement of Whites and the systematic moral and cultural destruction of Western Civilization.  With few exceptions, a notable one being Libertarian Realist, libertarians are silent on these issues.  They remain silent out of a fear of being labeled "racist," and out of a fatally mistaken belief that liberals will join their side if they signal hard enough that they like weed and transsexuals and hate the racist popo.  Any who speak in favor of national borders or against mass immigration are denounced as statists or racists, or both.  This has led to a migration of many libertarians and ancaps, myself included, into the alternative right and reactosphere.

Libertarians have become so myopically focused on the individual that they have lost sight of the fact, or have chosen to ignore it, that groups, peoples, and cultures also have a right to exist, that they have a right to defend themselves, that by any measure of sanity they ought to defend themselves.  This, of course, would not be controversial at all except that I am talking about White people.

White people have a right to exist.

White people matter.

Western Civilization matters.

Liberals ignore the fact that everything that they value is a product of White, Western Civilization.  Liberalism, in all of its forms, good and bad, from classical liberalism to modern democratic egalitarian progressivism, is European.  The virtues of tolerance, open-mindedness, and individual liberty are held far more dearly by Whites than by any other people.

American conservatives are nearly as ignorant.  If they are unwilling to conserve White culture and a White majority in the United States, then there is simply nothing else worth conserving.  Instead, like many libertarians, they are primarily concerned with anti-racist signalling.  Republicans refuse to represent the interests of White Americans, preferring instead to court Hispanics, whom they believe with staggering stupidity to be "natural conservatives."

 The West has been unparalleled in social and scientific progress, because of who we are.   We have uniquely evolved to create this culture.  I highly recommend this talk by Curt Doolittle about the origins of the high-trust, truth-speaking culture of Northern Europe and what that has done for us.  Western Civilization can no more be carried on by Blacks, Hispanics, or Muslims than Chinese civilization could be produced by Europeans, or Mayan civilization replicated by Amazonian natives.  Individuals may be shaped by the culture around them, but ultimately culture is produced by people.  Our culture, our civilization, is made by us.  It is our own.

The current trend of demographic replacement and cultural degeneracy is leading us to a bad place.  Western Civilization has been the light of the world for centuries.  When that light goes out, there will be darkness.  It cannot survive without White people, and White people will not survive if our identity and culture are destroyed.

This matters to me.
