Love Nature, Love Life

Dominique Venner

418 words

Translated by Greg Johnson

Not for an instant do I forget the struggles of our time. Not for an instant do I forget the struggles of the past that made us who we are. Not for an instant do I forget that to exist is not just to dedicate and devote oneself but also to fight. Nor do I forget that life has intense moments and calm moments, joys and cruelties.

My New Year’s Resolutions

Jef Costello

Image courtesy of Harold Arthur McNeill

2,790 words

Every year, near the end of December, I establish plans for the coming year. The centerpiece of these plans is ten resolutions – no more, and no less. I’ve had a lot of practice at this, and I’ve discovered that more than ten major resolutions is usually too ambitious, whereas fewer than ten is not ambitious enough. Read more …

Revolution from the Periphery:
The Lessons of Nueva Germania

Gregory Hood

Elisabeth Nietzsche, 1846–1935

5,070 words

The concept of “Revolution from the Periphery” is an important contribution to Traditionalist thought as once proud centers of culture sink ever further into decadence. The system of control deployed against whites is strengthening its grip, and “the Collapse” is still a dream. If anything, anarcho-tyranny is becoming more widespread, and the forces pushing radical egalitarianism are removing the velvet glove to reveal the mailed fist beneath.

Bataille pour une place au soleil

Andrei Kievsky

1,543 words

English original here

Je veux que les gens comprennent la nature élémentaire de notre combat. En fin de compte, ce n’est pas une guerre de mots. C’est une Guerre Mentale, mais qui ne peut pas être gagnée par des arguments. La Guerre Mentale est gagnée par la conscience collective qui conduit à l’action individuelle et collective nécessaire.

Greg Johnson

1,053 words

Even though I am an unbeliever, the Christmas season is my favorite time of the year. Christmas, like dogs, brings out the best in people. It awakens a desire to beautify one’s world and adorn one’s soul with good deeds.

Try-Hard & Be Humble

Jack Donovan

Whatever you do, you don’t want to look like a “Try-Hard.”

I get the idea. Masculinity is fearless and expansive. If you want to “alpha” a situation, you want to exude effortless competence. Read more …

1,232 words

Mei Xiang’s week-old Giant Panda cub died earlier this week, delivering another disappointing setback to our attempts to breed these endangered creatures in captivity.

Why I Live in the Past

Jef Costello

I don’t like the present very much. So I live in the past.

Just about everything about this day and age depresses and angers me. The ignorance, the lies, the vulgarity, the hypocrisy, the bad manners. Read more …

Hate Globally, Like Locally

Jack Donovan

921 words

The West is one bitter old codger.

He’s lived long enough to see all of his truths twisted. He’s surrounded by fools. All the things he gave his life to are broken now, and he’ll never make it out to the garage to rifle through his worn out tools.

There is no new poetry in The West. Read more …

Living with Predators

George P. Stimson, Jr.

Grant Wood, "Adolescence," 1940

897 words

We had our first chicken massacre last week. An unknown predator (likely a raccoon) got into the coop through a gap where two sections of roof meet and killed nine of our flock. The person opening the coop on the morning after the event was greeted with the sight of nine headless and upper torso-less pullets, most of which had been raised from the age of one day old. The loss is great; we had anticipated that these chicks would form the foundation of next season’s group of egg layers. Instead, they have been dispatched back to the dust . . . Read more …

Mothers: Work For Your Children

Juleigh Howard-Hobson

2,282 words

I am a “stay at home mother.” It now takes four words to define my “job” because so many women, having given birth and given up their children to the various systems of day care and mass education, call themselves mothers. The system assures them that they are mothers. The system assures them that they are, as a matter of fact, great mothers—free from all that boring home-ridden, under-stimulating motherhood stuff.
