Apparently, the Claremonters have taken over the natcons, which is an interesting development because it will potentially be more difficult for the neocons to directly puppet master the natcons. It has been argued that Hazony’s presence shows that the neocons (and, likely, the Mossad who pays him a […]
The Western Right-Wing have recently been non-stop complaining about ‘woke’, ‘cancel culture’ and ‘identity politics’ in their fight against the perceived Leftist surge that is undermining Conservative values.

Courtney Hodrick, Telos Introduction In 2009, libertarian billionaire Peter Thiel wrote, “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.”[1] Thiel’s statement challenged the basic premise of much of Western politics: the liberal democratic consensus that treats economic freedom and political democracy as two guiding stars to […]

“Secession is only good when our team does it,” said the special pleaders at C4SS. “As such, this is the distinction between defending the autonomy of territories like the Rebel Zapatista Autonomous Municipalities, Freetown Christiania, and ZAD de Notre-Dame-des-Landes from the states they exist within and supporting the […]

Two of the most infamous figures of the 20th century are two of its most notorious Marxist dictators: Vladimir Lenin and Mao Zedong. Each had his own methods.

Sectarianism, the biggest weakness of the left.
Supporters say they want to “make the Libertarian Party libertarian again.” Critics say they’re shitposting edgelords who will destroy the LP from within.

Years ago, I predicted that the mainstream of the US culture war would eventually be a matter not of left vs right but of the far left vs center and center-left. That seems to be happening at present. Much of the pushback against wokeism is actually coming from […]
Pilleater and Cartrell Payne interview Charles A. Coulombe
Traditional American-style models of repression (the Wilson-Palmer-Hoover-COINTELPRO model) continue to be the primary danger, although there is a more distant threat of an American Erdoganism from the Right or an American Mugabism from the Left. Hartmann’s definition of “fascism” is way too broad. And there are conservative counterparts […]

There are multiple meanings of “conservative.” One is someone who merely wants to preserve the status quo as it is. Under this definition, Joe Biden is a conservative. Another is someone who wants to turn back the clock to some supposedly idyllic past, whether the 1950s, 19th century, […]

It amounts to religious fundamentalism for the non-religious. “Anti-fascism” (a […]
