Noen tanker omkring Hitler

Irmin Vinson

1,664 words

English original here

“Hitler” som multikulturalist-propaganda

Argumentet som fremmes av enkelte rasebevisste nasjonalister, om at ethvert forsvar for Adolf Hitler, i lys av den fiendtlighet og sågar vemmelse som navnet hans nå vekker, risikerer å fremmedgjøre alminnelige hvite folk er ved første øyekast plausibelt og fortjener å bli tatt på alvor.

The Rising:
The Revolutionary Lessons of Michael Collins

Gregory Hood

5,992 words

Michael Collins is a must see for any revolutionary, especially those who feel all hope is lost. The film begins with defeat for the revolutionaries, and the survivors hiding like rats in underground tunnels. By the end, they are dictating policy in councils of state. For a White Nationalist, the rise of the eponymous hero is consistently inspiring.

But there is also the fall. Michael Collins shows the pretty rivalries, greed, and political miscalculations that can destroy any movement from within. Read more …

The Dictates of Survival

Andrew Hamilton

George Bellows, “Stag at Sharkey’s,” 1909

1,642 words

To oppose the extermination of the white race is not, objectively speaking, an outlandish position. It is quite conservative, even consistent with the tenets of mainstream conservation biology.

More importantly, it is moral. Read more …

The Hollow Empire
Olympus Has Fallen

Gregory Hood

3,363 words

“He admires England because she is strong, but does not love her because she is English,” said G. K. Chesterton of Rudyard Kipling. The love of the nation (and the racial roots of any real nation) does not come from rational calculation, but from the mystical impulses behind love, the same kind of love most people feel for their parents or children. Chesterton contended that empire requires rationalization and justification – you can admire an empire, but never really love it.

A Little Death:
Hegelian Reflections on Body Piercing & Tattoos

Greg Johnson

Antonio Canova’s “Amor and Psyche,” 1793, Louvre

887 words

It is safe to say that urban youth culture in the contemporary West is pretty much saturated with hedonism. Yet in the midst of all this hedonism, tattooing and body piercing are huge industries, and they hurt.

It is, moreover, shared pain, broadcast to and imposed upon all who see it. It is natural for human beings to feel sympathy for people in pain, or who show visible signs of having suffered pain. Perhaps this is a sign of morbid oversensitivity, but I believe I am not the only person who feels sympathy pains when I see tattoos and piercings, especially extensive ones. Read more …

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 …

Stalin: The Enduring Legacy

At the beginning of 1989, I thought that “Russia” (the USSR) was an evil empire, a totalitarian system built on repression and propaganda and bent on global domination. I also thought that the United States was the principal impediment to Soviet world domination, the bulwark of freedom. Read more …
