Premature Populism

Greg Johnson

1,826 words

William Pierce’s article “Skinheads and the Law” is a useful point of departure for discussing an important problem with the White Nationalist movement, a problem that I call premature populism.

Firefly

Trevor Lynch

1,244 words

Joss Whedon’s Firefly is a science fiction series that lived and died on the Fox Network in the Fall of 2002. Fourteen episosdes were shot, but only eleven were aired before the series was canceled, to the consternation of the surprisingly large number of loyal fans that the show conjured up in the split second of its existence. In my view, Firefly is one of the best sci-fi shows ever, second only to Battlestar Galactica Read more …

The Beginning & the End of History

Greg Johnson

1,493 words

The duel to the death over honor is a remarkable phenomenon. Animals duel over dominance, which insures their access to mates. But these duels result in death only by accident, because the whole process is governed by their survival instincts, and their “egos” do not prevent them from surrendering when the fight is hopeless.

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.

The White Knight vs. The Wire Monkey

Matt Parrott

Harlow's Monkey Experiments 1,220 words

The first misconception to discard when grappling with modern feminism is the proposition that feminists are opposed to patriarchy — patriarchy being defined as the woman’s reliance on men for protection and provision. Modern women are no less reliant on men for protection and provision than they were in prehistoric times. Read more …

Superando o Corpo e a Mente Burguesas

English original here

“Eu caminho entre essas pessoas e mantenho meus olhos abertos; elas se tornaram menores e estão se tornando cada vez menores: mas isso é por causa de seus ensinamentos sobre felicidade e virtude. Tanta gentileza, tanta fraqueza eu vejo. Tanta justiça e piedade, tanta fraqueza. Suaves, justos e gentis eles são uns com os outros, como grãos de areia são suaves, justos e gentis uns com os outros”. – Zaratustra

“Ocel mě poctivě naučila o souladu mezi duší a tělem: zdálo se mi, že slabé emoce mají za následek ochabování svalů, sentimentalita se projevuje ochabnutím žaludku a přecitlivělost má za následek přecitlivělou bledou kůži. Read more …

Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part 2

Trevor Lynch

596 words

Breaking Dawn, Part 2 is the fifth and final movie of Mormon novelist Stephenie Meyer’s phenomenally popular Twilight Saga. I think that the Twilight Saga is highly significant, because it offers a systematic argument for traditional — and biological — sexual roles and morality in the form of a Gothic teen romance story involving vampires and werewolves. (I best summarize my take on the Twilight Saga in my review of Breaking Dawn, Part 1.) I also found the movies highly entertaining.

Breaking Dawn, Part 2, however, is a major disappointment. Read more …

Overcoming the Bourgeois Mind & Body

Portuguese translation here

“I walk among these people and keep my eyes open; they have become smaller and are becoming ever smaller: but this is because of their teaching on happiness and virtue. So much kindness, so much weakness I see. So much justice and pity, so much weakness. Round, righteous, and kind they are to one another, like grains of sand are round, righteous, and kind to one another.” – Zarathustra[1]

Spiritual Warfare, Part 1:
The Warrior & the Monk

Charles Upton

1,556 words

A story is told (whether from the Zen tradition, the Bushidō tradition, or modern Japanese cinema I don’t remember) of an encounter between a Samurai warrior and a Zen monk. The warrior approaches the sitting monk and draws his sword. The monk remains impassive. “Don’t you realize that I have no qualms about killing you?” roars the warrior. “Don’t you realize that I have no qualms about dying?” quietly replies the monk.
