You don’t want people who might “snap” to have access to an arsenal, right?

Anarcho-Fascism

Jack Donovan

Graphic by Harold Arthur McNeill

1,145 words

“In a society that has abolished every kind of adventure the only adventure that remains is to abolish the society.”

—Situationist graffito, May 1968

As a political ideology, fascism was a mixed bag of 20th-century ideas. Its athletic presence hung with flirty, politically expedient schemes like universal suffrage, in many ways last century’s fascism was defined by its responses to other political movements of the time—like Marxism and liberal capitalism.

From Patriots to Traitors?

Jack Donovan

1,157 words

Gregory Hood’s recent goading of “Beltway Rambos” highlighted the kind of psychological shift that’s going to have to take place in the minds of Americans—in the minds of men who consider themselves American patriots—before they “start shooting people.”

The First World has a plan for you.

You’re supposed to go to college. Learn what to do, what to say, what to think, how to feel. Someone gives you a good grade, pats you on the back and tells you that you’re a “critical thinker.” Read more …

“I’m Sorry, I Just Don’t Keep Up With The Ladies’ Gossip Magazines.”

Jack Donovan

2,823 words

Every few days, a reader sends me a link to some head-exploding lunacy lobbed from the tie-dyed tents over at Camp Vagina. The guys mean well. Most are just offering grist for the mill, or something they want me to “get out there” to a wider audience. I think sometimes they are hoping to prod me into some kind of thumotic rage, so that I’ll tear apart the offending essay and write down the words that they feel. Read more …

Fecundity Demands a Cruel Balance in Anthony Burgess’ The Wanting Seed

“. . . one could not perhaps, after all, and it was a pity, make art out of that gentle old liberalism. The new books were full of sex and death, perhaps the only materials for a writer.”

The Manly Barbarian:
Masculinity & Exploit in Veblen’s Theory of the Leisure Class

Jack Donovan

1,371 words

Thorstein Veblen’s Theory of the Leisure Class was written as a treatise on economics, but in pieces—like the work of Freud and Darwin—it reads today like an early stab at evolutionary psychology. I decided to dig into it after reading Venkatesh Rao’s brilliant essay “The Return of the Barbarian.” Read more …

Brave No More

Charles Bird King, "Young Omahaw, War Eagle, Little Missouri, and Pawnees," 1821, Smithsonian

981 words

I can’t think of too many English words more positive than “brave.”

Andy Nowicki

I haven’t yet read Jack Donovan’s new book The Way of Men, though I plan to do so. However, having read Jack’s intriguing reply to Jef Costello, I find myself compelled to raise an issue related to the contemporary masculinist movement, of which I know Jack to be an enthusiastic advocate.
