Was the Immigration Act of 1924 Illiberal?
In modern liberal historiography, the efforts of eugenicists towards immigration restriction in the United States, which eventually led to the Immigration Act of 1924, are perceived as having been illiberal, and therefore morally in contradiction with the liberal founding principles of the North American republic. But were they really? The Immigration Act of 1924 was [...]
Egalitarians as Moral Lunatics
The Psychotic Left: From Jacobin France to the Occupy Movement Kerry Bolton (Black House Publishing, 2013) In ‘Equality as an Evil’, published in April 2012 in Alternative Right (and recently re-posted on that same site), the argument is made that it is difficult not to see White egalitarians as suffering from an undiagnosed psychopathology, particularly [...]
Quality, Not Equality
The Specious Origins of Liberalism Anthony Ludovici London: Britons Publishing Group, 1967 Obscure today, but until seventy years ago a well-known and prolific author and translator, British artist and writer Anthony Ludovici is best remembered today as a proponent of aristocracy. The Specious Origins of Liberalism, published in 1967, was his last book, and while [...]
The ‘Immigration’ Debate is a Waste of Time
For close to half a century now those at the Right end of political conservatism throughout the West have been protesting government immigration policy. Much has changed during this period, only invariably for the worse: if twenty, thirty, forty years ago it was thought that the governments of the day were letting in too many [...]
Brief Journey to Sweden
This Summer I spoke at this year’s Identitär Idé conference, which was held on 28 July in Stockholm. These conferences are seminars organised by the blog portal and think-tank Motpol, in conjunction with Arktos and Metapedia, to discuss identitarian ideas. The ideas explored are linked mainly to the European New Right. Last year’s guests were [...]
Is It a Liberal Value to Silence Opposition?
Back in June, the organisers of the Canadian Immigration Report (CIR) were invited to appear as witnesses before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration to present arguments in support of Bill C-31, also known as the Protecting Canada’s Immigration System Act. The bill, sponsored by the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration, and [...]
Those Awful 1950s
The Product Pleasantville is a 1998 film directed by Gary Ross (Big, The Hunger Games) and produced by him, Steven Soderbergh (Sex, Lies and Videotapes, Contagion), Jon Kilik, and Bob Degus. High school siblings David (Tobey Maguire) and Jennifer (Reese Witherspoon) have diametrically opposite social lives. Jennifer is superficial and extroverted; David is shy and [...]
Death to Modernity—American Perspectives
My review of Alain de Benoist and Charles Champetier’s Manifesto for a European Renaissance elicited a vigorous response from readers, some of whom had questions about the positions of the European New Right (ENR) and qualms about the implications the latter would have if applied in the United States. The points raised, were, to my mind, of sufficient importance [...]
Death to Modernity
To create, you must first destroy. That is the implication behind the French (but in reality European) New Right’s Manifesto for a European Renaissance, authored by Alain de Benoist and Charles Champetier thirteen years ago and recently republished in book form by Arktos Media. And what is it that needs to be destroyed? It is [...]
The Role of Party Politics in the Culture War
It is no secret that White identity political parties have it difficult in the age of ‘equality’. If politics is the art of the possible, a culture where Whiteness is anathema makes White identity polities not possible. Hence, the call to conceive the struggle for the West as a culture war, rather than a political [...]
Ban Dante, Racist, Homophobe, Islamophobe, Anti-Semite
The Telegraph reports: The classic work should be removed from school curricula, according to Gherush 92, a human rights organisation which acts as a consultant to UN bodies on racism and discrimination. Dante’s epic is “offensive and discriminatory” and has no place in a modern classroom, said Valentina Sereni, the group’s president. Divided into three [...]
Egalitarian Eugenics: Prospects and Perspectives
In the wake of the recent Oxford University study that sought to identify psychopharmacological cures to White racism (see my previous article on the subject), and in view of the study’s links to a modern advocate of eugenics, we are left with the question of what the anticipated resurgence of eugenics will mean for European-descended [...]
The Pill That Cures ‘Racism’
Press reports about a pill that cures racism will have no doubt fired the imagination of egalitarians across the Western world, from the Kapital-thumping theologian burrowed in the catacombs of university humanities departments to the orangutanaceous brick-throwing Marxist of balaclava and combat boots. It appears that Propranolol, a drug normally prescribed for heart disease, has [...]
Ernest Shackleton’s Farthest South and Faustian Man’s Quest for Universal Conquest
Last month, the Norwegian Prime Minister travelled to the Earth’s southernmost point to mark the centenary of the conquest of the South Pole, where Roald Amundsen and his team, having spent months travelling on the planet’s coldest and most hostile environment, planted their country’s flag on 14 December 1911. Yet it is the story of [...]
Emma West: When the Subaltern Speaks
With her four-letter words and direct syntax, Emma West has truly focused the Leftist mind, for one remarkable aspect of the reaction to her critique of government immigration policy in Britain is the sudden regurgitation, in concentrated form, of Leftist clichés in support of the status quo. For those of us who enjoy analysing those [...]
Tito Perdue’s “The Node”
Tito Perdue is best known for Lee, a 1991 novel about a misanthropic septuagenarian at war with the modern world. The novel introduced Lee Pefley, Perdue’s presumed alter ego, who has since appeared in other novels, at different ages and even after death (as in Fields of Asphodel). The Node, his most recently published novel, [...]
Darren Scully’s X-File
Darren Scully, as of Tuesday night former mayor of the Irish town of Naas, has become yet another of those ‘respectable’ conservatives caught up with by the world they made possible with their appeasement of the Left. On Tuesday morning, speaking live on the town’s Kildare radio station KFM, he candidly confessed to the frustrations [...]
And What About the Pygmies, Bienvenu?
Those who read Mister will remember than in my future dystopia Herge’s Tintin in Congo circulated in the underground as a banned text. This was not entirely without reason, as in real life one Bienvenu Mbutu Mondondo, a Congolese citizen based in Belgium, has since at least 2007 been on a crusade to get the [...]
The West as a Tomb
In earlier articles I discussed the negative culture within the racialist Right, focusing on two common examples: the ‘worse-is-better’ mantra, and ‘naysayerism’. A third example is the insistence that the racialist Right, White Nationalism, White advocacy, whatever you may want to call it, is about ‘defending Western culture’. It may seem strange to conceive the [...]
The Limits of Blackness
Debates about where the limits of a race lie are always heated and seldom resolved. Readers of this website may have encountered such debates, only almost certainly they have always involved determining where White ends and coloured begins. But—what about the other side? Where does Black end and something other begin? And, more importantly, should [...]
The Curse of the Naysayer
If the mantra ‘worse is better’ represents the benign end of the negativity spectrum within the far reaches of the Right, the naysayer represents its malignant counterpart. In this article I will discuss naysaying as a pathology, its characteristics, possible causes, and analogical relationship to White liberal ethnomasochism. I will also make suggestions for treatment [...]
London Feels the Strength
For the past few days, Tottenham and a few other vibrantly multicultural areas of London have been experiencing diversity’s strength. It has taken the shape of chairs smashing shop widows, Molotov cocktails igniting autobuses, Black fists smashing White faces, charging youths hurling missiles, private enterprise going up in flames, and police officers going down to [...]
It’s Not Impossible
I recently wrote about the mantra ‘worse is better’, so frequently encountered on certain fringes of the Right. I expressed my view that this mantra is a form of denial, part of a therapeutic fantasy where the collapse of the present ruling order will magically restore White supremacy in traditional White homelands. I added that [...]
Review of “Hold Back This Day”
For years I was after this book. Each time I checked, however, Amazon had the paperback edition listed for ridiculous prices, well into the triple-digit range. At last Greg Johnson came along, contacted the author, and organised a new edition of this long-out-of-print dystopian novel through his imprint, Counter-Currents. It is now in print, and orders are [...]
The Black Man’s Guilt
In varying measures, modern Western education, films, and television programmes, not to mention Black activist organisations and academics, burden White folk with guilt for their ancestors’ alleged involvement with slavery. For obvious reasons, this is particularly the case in the United States. The accepted popular notion among far too many is that the White man [...]
Whites Do Not Have the Right
Having watched the video of Jamie Kelso’s experience at the CPAC, I was struck by Mr. Kelso’s insistence on the right of White people to control their traditional homelands. I believe the main reasons why he failed to make headway with his propositionist challengers is that he was attempting to win an ontological argument about [...]
And So It Begins…
Last December, Nigerian-born John Abraham Godson became Poland’s first Black Member of Parliament. As is to be expected, the BBC reported this development with obvious jubilation, using the phrase “hailed as a landmark”. No mention was made in the BBC report of exactly how or why this is good for Godson’s constituency, what policies he [...]
John Christopher’s The Death of Grass
Right wingers love apocalyptic scenarios, so I suppose it is no surprise that, after wading through a turgid and sludge-like philosophical tome of nearly 500 pages, packed with somniferous prose of purely academic interest (and in an awkward translation from the German original), my choice for light reading was John Christopher’s apocalyptic novel, The Death [...]
What Happened to Me?
How does an educated person end up broadcasting socially unacceptable views? In matters of multiculturalism, immigration, and race relations, standard answers to this question aver psychiatric disorder or social maladjustment. Yet, I have never been diagnosed with the former, nor ever fulfilled the criteria for the latter: my parents are both intelligent White-collar professionals, retired [...]
American Students Overseas, Then and Now
This is an image is from a 1980s film. The look and style of Val Kilmer’s character exemplifies what I remember as the typical American studying abroad around that time. When I returned to university as a mature student on a postgraduate program, one of the changes in the landscape that struck me the most was the contrast [...]
Women Are Our Allies
A frequent complaint among traditionalist White political activists is the under-representation of female involvement in pro-White campaigning. Certainly, one factor favoring male interest in this political endeavor is the fear that a world run by White radical traditionalists would deny women economic autonomy, relegating them to the traditional roles of mother and housewife. And to [...]
Facing Journalistic Fraud
Propaganda is associated in the popular mind with totalitarian regimes. The truth is, however, that examples of propaganda can be found as far back as Antiquity, and that the activity is as much a feature of liberal democratic societies today as it was of National Socialist Germany, Maoist China, and the Soviet Union. In fact, [...]
Learning from the Right
I read with interest Greg Johnson’s recent article about Douglas Hyde’s Dedication and Leadership, a book where the author — who fed 20 years of his life to the meat-grinder of Communist activism — provided trenchant advise on how best to mobilize the idealism, and inspire the sacrifice, of those seeking to change the world. In bringing Hyde to readers’ [...]
I Have Better Things to Do with My Time
The Candidates, from left: Nick Clegg, David Cameron, Gordon Brown “One long, sleepy yawn.” That is how I described the latest United Kingdom general election when I approached Kevin MacDonald about writing this article. My complete indifference to the 2010 elections stands in marked contrast to my interest in the one that was held in [...]
What’s in It for Me?
Kevin MacDonald, shown with Virginia Abernethy, receives the Jack London Literary Prize The most baffling historical development in modern times has to be the voluntary abdication of land, wealth, rights, power, and genes by White people all over the world, as well as the continuing nature of this abdication, despite its disastrous, obvious, and worsening [...]
Are Leftists Cleverer?
One common tactic used by Leftists is the characterizing of their opponents on the Right — particularly those who self-consciously identify themselves as White and who maintain that Whites have unique ethnic interests of their own — as, among other things, intellectually inferior. We are all familiar with the stereotype, perpetuated with impunity in the [...]
Should We Have Our Own “Kosher” Certification?
In a recent blog entry I suggested — at the time rather ironically — that we would do well to take a leaf from the Torah and devise for ourselves something analogous to the Jewish kosher certification. For those unfamiliar with it, food that has been certified as kosher, or fit for consumption in accordance [...]
It’s Not the Arguments
Anti-White Crusader Tim Wise Looked at from a purely rational perspective, it seems incredible that, despite maintaining a sensible position, deploying logical arguments, and having the data on our side, when it comes to the small matter of White people’s right to exist, we find ourselves fighting a losing battle. How can this be? The simple [...]
Haiti Must Not be Re-Built
Day after day, our brains are blitzed by the media with the horror from Haiti. While I would not wish a like disaster to befall my friends and loved ones, I cannot help but roll my eyes at the Western governments’ response. I do not mind the initiatives to forgive Haiti’s external debt, as I [...]
Deconstruction: I Know How to Do It Too
The First Thanksgiving at Plymouth, by Jennie A. Brownscombe (1914) I recently came across an article published by Racism Review where MSU “sociologist”, Matthew Hughey, citing no sources, alleged that the early English puritans enslaved the local Indians. His article was an exercise in historical revisionism, which aimed to deconstruct the trendy multiculturalist reading of the Thanksgiving [...]
Intellectual Radioactivity: How Science Documentaries are Used to Pervert the Course of Science and Advance Political Aims, Part 5
Richard Lynn (left) and J. Philippe Rushton In case the scientific arguments are too esoteric, Omaar travels to South Africa, in an effort to appeal to our emotions. Walking in a dense maze of grim and filthy shacks of corrugated iron, he tells us that concluding that race and intelligence are biologically determined leads to [...]
Intellectual Radioactivity: How Science Documentaries are Used to Pervert the Course of Science and Advance Political Aims, Part 4
By this time we are two thirds into the program. We are back with Richard Nisbett, who is asked to comment on Rushton’s research correlating IQ with brain size. At this point it seems appropriate to point out that Rushton was not asked (nor given space) to explain how he arrived at his conclusions, so [...]
Intellectual Radioactivity: How Science Documentaries are Used to Pervert the Course of Science and Advance Political Aims, Part 3
Ghetto Culture Omaar desires to examine the opposite end of the spectrum, and shifts focus to Black underachievement. He takes us to John Muir High School, in Pasadena, California, and talks to various educators — none geneticists, cognitive psychologists, or experts in IQ — who state their opinions as to the causes of Black underachievement. [...]
Intellectual Radioactivity: How Science Documentaries are Used to Pervert the Course of Science and Advance Political Aims, Part 2
Biased Test Omaar is next shown at his dining room table, surrounded by books and printouts, deep in study. Referring to the link between IQ and race, he states: This area is a minefield. Key parts of the research quoted by Richard Lynn, for example, have been fiercely disputed by other academics, claiming it is biased and [...]
Intellectual Radioactivity: How Science Documentaries are Used to Pervert the Course of Science and Advance Political Aims, Part 1
When I learned that Channel 4 intended to air a documentary program featuring Professors Richard Lynn and J. Philippe Rushton, I marked my calendar. The program in question — Race and Intelligence: Science’s Last Taboo — interested me, not so much because I was expecting it to be educational in any scientific sense (I am familiar [...]
BBC’s Question Time: A Shameful Spectacle
After much controversy, discussion, soul-searching, explanation, and legal posturing, BNP Chairman and Member of European Parliament Nick Griffin was allowed to participate in the BBC’s premier political television program, Question Time. The format of this show consists of a panel of politicians and public figures, sitting at a table, chaired by a moderator (David Dimbleby), and [...]
Your Choice of Treatment
Sometime ago I visited my local surgery. At the reception desk, I was confronted with a poster, bearing Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) logo. The poster was produced by the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA), which is a spawn of the British government’s Department of Health. Across the top of the poster, in large white [...]
Diverse Workforce = Rubbish Customer Service
One of the most nefarious developments in modern times has been the wholesale conversion of corporate businesses to the ideology of diversity and multiculturalism. Another has been the enthusiastic adoption by the same of interactive voice response (IVR) technology. And yet another has been the decision in the past five or so years to relocate [...]
Guerrilla Economics: Stop Funding the Enemy
In my previous article I discussed the respectable conservative, a populous species whose existence I consider to be one — if not our main — obstacle in the battle to inspire our constituency into oppositional action against a hostile establishment. I stated that, as the archetypical homo oeconomicus, his status-conscious nature causes him to prefer making small [...]
What Will It Take?
Many ask themselves, What will it take for White people to finally react and take decisive and effective action to change the status quo? How much worse does it need to get before they finally decide that they have had enough of this politically correct anti-White nonsense? It is a good question. And sadly, my [...]
From Virtuality to Reality: Memoirs from a Reformed TV Addict
Ten years ago, I lived in, and worked from, a one-bedroom flat in East Finchley, London. I had a large, rectangular living-dining room area, part of which was my office. My day would begin with the arrival of the postman before 9 in the morning, which brought packets with CDs and orders from customers; it [...]
They Don’t Make Them Like They Used to
On occasion of my 39th birthday, my wife organized a holiday in the Lake District in Cumbria, in the North East of England. While there we visited England’s Pencil Museum, where we learnt much about the invention and manufacture of the pencil, a tool that spawned a huge industry in the region during the Victorian [...]
Black Metal Lord Attends Quaker Meeting (and Discovers the Victorian Capitalists)
Christopher Donovan’s recent article, Notes from Central Pennsylvania: The Very Long Arm of Egalitarian Propaganda, reminded me of the time I attended a Quaker meeting here in England, sometime in early 2004. Back then, I lived in one of two lonely rural cottages and had as my neighbor a recently divorced former police sergeant, G., who [...]
“I am Not Racist, but…”
Tomislav Sunic’s recent article, Who is an Anti-Semite?, brings to the fore an important question that has been insufficiently discussed within our circles, and which must, nevertheless, be the complement to any debate about White displacement and multiculturalism. That question is: How are we to redefine our attitudes towards non-Whites in a context where Whites are [...]
They Insult Our Intelligence
One would think that an award-winning journalist writing for a national “quality” newspaper and with access to some of the most eminent personages of the age would be capable of penning an intelligent article about an unconventional politician, providing novel insights and depth of analysis where his lesser peers would have been content with a [...]
Air Travel in the Kali Yuga
I have travelled by air since the age of three, and since then I have averaged at least two flights a year, invariably to international destinations. I have lived in five different countries, both in the First and Third Worlds, located on both sides of the Atlantic. This means I have thirty-six years of experience as [...]
The Folly of White-Sponsored Development
I recently watched the BBC documentary series, Tribe (Going Tribal in the US), which originally aired between January 2005 and September 2007. In the series, former Royal Marine instructor Mr. Bruce Parry visits remote tribes in Africa, Asia, and Oceania, and spends a month living with each as a participant observer. The idea is to interact [...]
Memoirs of a Dissident Student in Postmodern Academia
After completing my university education in 1992, I quickly discovered that my degree was not especially useful in the “real world.” It was not until twelve years later, after having founded and grown a successful business, and after having become aware of the cultural pathologies of our times, that I decided that a degree in [...]
Facing the Future as a Minority
