Atheism and agnosticism are associated with Leftist, anti-white politics, but there is no reason why this must be so. As discussed in my previous Counter-Currents article, “Christian Nationalism Has Made Me Agnostic,” much of the white Western world, including countries such as France, the Czech Republic, and Australia, is becoming irreligious.

El objetivo de El concepto de lo Político es la defensa de la política contra las aspiraciones utópicas a favor de abolir la política. (more…)

Part 7 of 7 (Part 1 here, Part 6 here)
We have no standards to judge what are “good” and “bad” forms of being a human, since there are no subjects existing outside the contingencies of historical time and power relationships. All we can do is engage in “discourse analysis” so as to uncover existing hierarchies by analyzing the fields of knowledge through which they are legitimated. We can engage in questioning how we came to be the “humans” we think we are, such as how we came to think that we have natural rights to life, liberty, and happiness, but such a questioning can only show us how our current way of being human is historically contingent and thus changeable.

German Historicism: The Defeated Alternative to Liberal Progressivism
Peter Watson’s comprehensive book of over 900 pages, The German Genius: Europe’s Third Renaissance, The Second Scientific Revolution, and the Twentieth Century (2010), demonstrates that from 1750 to the 1930s Germany was the dominant intellectual force in Western civilization. (more…)

A year or two ago, I received a large, unsolicited, and apparently self-published book in the mail: Who Is My Neighbor? An Anthology in Natural Relations, edited by Thomas Achord and Darrell Dow. Neither name was familiar to me. Since my available reading time is somewhat constrained, I did no more than leaf through it at first. But I kept it on my shelf because the idea of “an anthology in natural relations” sounded worthwhile. (more…)

English original here
Následující esej původně byla závěrečnou částí recenze Collina Clearyho na knihu Ricarda Duchesneho The Uniqueness of Western Civilization. Protože je v ní ale obsaženo příliš velice důležitých postřehů, než aby zůstaly „zastrčené“ na konci velice rozsáhlé knižní recenze, upravil jsem ji tak, aby fungovala i jako samostatný útvar – Greg Johnson.
Dokonce i ve většině moderních Zápaďanů – ano, i u našich politicky dokonale korektních akademiků – se dosud skrývá jakýsi míhavý záblesk starobylé, indoevropské thymotické přirozenosti. (more…)

Part 4 of 4 (Part 1 here, Part 3 here)
Translated by F. Roger Devlin
The history of modernity can be understood at least in part as a gigantic process of uniformization. Induced by philosophico-moral or political universalism and the diffusion of techniques for the modeling of behavior more effective than those of the most centralized dictatorships, it has expressed itself in the West by the gradual eradication of differentiated ways of life, (more…)

Just as it would be vain to oppose to abstract equality a similarly abstract inequality, it would in my opinion be mistaken to try to oppose nationalism or ethnocentrism to the ideology of Sameness. (more…)

Part 2 of 4 (Part 1 here)
Translated by F. Roger Devlin
The Ideology of Sameness
“I think the entire history of the world and of societies can be fully interpreted according to two great principles,” writes the sociologist Paul Yonnet, “viz., that of equalization and that of differentiation (or the tendency to similarity and the tendency to deviation), between which relations of re-equilibration, of compensation (true, false, symbolic, or real) or consolation, are constantly being formed.”[1] (more…)

For a long time, I thought about what sets us, as identitarians, White Nationalists, and dissidents apart from other political groups, both current and historical. It was while thinking about the phenomenon of crypsis that I came to an understanding that our defining feature is our acceptance of the concept of the absolute outsider. (more…)
