On the Secret of Degeneration

Julius Evola, 1898–1974

2,093 words

Anyone who has come to reject the rationalist myth of “progress” and the interpretation of history as an unbroken positive development of mankind will find himself gradually drawn towards the world-view that was common to all the great traditional cultures, and which had at its center the memory of a process of degeneration, slow obscuration, or collapse of a higher preceding world.

Batman Begins

1,222 words

French translation here

After being blown away by director Christopher Nolan’s Inception, I decided to give his Batman Begins (2005) another chance. The first time I saw this film, I did not like it. Not one bit. I must have been distracted, because this time I loved it. Nolan breaks with the campy style of earlier Batman films, focusing on character development and motivations, which makes Batman Begins and its sequel The Dark Knight both psychologically dark and intellectually and emotionally compelling.

Interview with Robert Steuckers

Robert Steuckers

4,404 words

Troy Southgate: When and why did you decide to become involved in politics?

Robert Steuckers: I was never actually involved in politics, as I was never a member of a political party. Nevertheless I am a citizen interested in political questions but of course not in the usual plain and trivial way, as I have no intention to become a candidate, council deputy or Member of Parliament.

Ludovici on Feminism & Emasculation

Anthony M. Ludovici

Cristofano Allori. "Judith with the Head of Holofernes," 1613

1,470 words

Each sex has the instincts, emotions and mental powers related to the kind of life that it will have to lead, and the corresponding limitation in selecting and rejecting. For instance, the male as the active participator in coition is the wooer and initiator; he has to awaken desire for himself in the female, and finds his pleasure in these roles. The female finds pleasure in being captivated, in surrendering herself, in yielding to initiation, provided that she approves of the male.

Louis-Ferdinand Céline—An Anarcho-Nationalist

Tomislav Sunić

1,766 words

In his imaginary self-portrayal, the French novelist Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961) would be the first one to reject the assigned label of anarcho-nationalism. For that matter he would reject any outsider’s label whatsoever regarding his prose and his personality. He was an anticommunist, but also an anti-liberal. He was an anti-Semite but also an anti-Christian. He despised the Left and the Right. He rejected all dogmas and all beliefs, and worse, he submitted all academic standards and value systems to brutal derision. Read more …

Liberalism as the Ideology of Consummate Meaninglessness, Part 3

Michael O'Meara

Martin Heidegger, 1889–1976

1,233 words

Part 1 here, Part 2 here

In ancient and medieval philosophy, “to be” meant to be an enduring presence, the Eternal Being being God. For moderns, “it” (the enduring presence) becomes a being, an object, in time and space or else a self-conscious subject.

First, Do No Harm

1,259 words

A friend recently asked me what happened to the Counter-Currents program that I planned to do for the Voice of Reason Network. The short answer is that I was not particularly suited for it, so I changed my mind. Yes, there are a lot of interesting people out there to interview. Yes, there were a lot of interesting questions I wanted to ask them. Read more …

Liberalism as the Ideology of Consummate Meaninglessness, Part 2

Michael O'Meara

Immanuel Kant, 1724–1804

1,305 words

Part 1 here, Part 3 here

Immanuel Kant, the first to philosophize the “question of freedom,” approaches the world like Descartes. He begins with Cartesianism’s dehistoricized, peopleless subject, which is seen as an “ends in itself,” something that is to be “freed” for the sake of its “self-assured self-legislation.”

Ragnar Redbeard’s Might Is Right or the Survival of the Fittest

3,035 words

From The Occidental Observer, September 29, 2009

Note: In biology, “adaptive” means (very precisely) promoting the survival and reproduction of an organism’s genes. “Natural selection” is the logical and empirical process whereby forces of nature affect the survival and reproduction of some genes over others. The terms, “natural selection” and “selection pressures” (particular causes of selection) help one think clearly.

Michael O'Meara

Martin Heidegger, 1889–1976

1,324 words

Part 2 here, Part 3 here

They’re killing us with their freedom.

Every dissolution of social order, every assault on the family, the unrelenting denigration of authority and heritage, and now our biological replacement by the Third World’s refuse–all justified, legislated, and celebrated in freedom’s hallowed name.
