Maladaptive Culture: Herodotus on Luxury, Effeminacy, and Decadence The ancients considered the maintaining of martial virtue and hardiness to be a supreme imperative—not surprising given that if any frailty led to defeat, one’s people could not only lose their self-government, but their very existence. Like Homer and Plato, Herodotus has much to say on the […]
Persian Virtue: A Persian Group Evolutionary Strategy? The people described in most detail by Herodotus are in fact not the Greeks, but their enemies the Persians, a fellow Aryan people. Herodotus speaks a great deal about Persian culture, often very positively. (For instance: “the Persians are normally the last people in the world, to my […]
“King Nomos”: The Power of Culture and the Universality of Cultural Chauvinism Herodotus had traveled far and wide across the Mediterranean, thus coming across nations with often radically different cultural assumptions and ways of life. Accounting for this astonishing diversity, he is much impressed by the social power of culture. As noted above, the historian […]
The Summer issue will be posted online for download June 21, and they will be posted to the mail 7/6. As you can see from the cover, it’s a very stimulating issue, with several new writers. I call particular attention to the lead article, by Claire Ellis, based on her dissertation under the supervision of […]
Herodotus (trans. Robin Waterfield), The Histories (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1998) In defense of history, the Roman orator Cicero once said: “To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain forever a child.” In history, we can find the past trajectory of human events and insights into the nature of human existence […]
I hate TV, so I usually hear the news rather than see it. This gives me a lot of chances to put my Evil White Racism to work on predictions. Mostly I’m right, occasionally I’m wrong. When I heard that a disgruntled ex-doctor had shot up a hospital in New York, I assumed that the […]
It must now be a prerequisite of those who become an American ambassador to the UN to possess certain characteristics and traits, the most important of which are rabid warmonger, child killer, and outright liar. Remember it was Madeleine Albright when asked about the US blockading Iraq which prevented medicine and medical equipment from entering […]
Another in the unending list of suicidal behavior by Swedes, this one by Cecilia Wilkström, a Member of the European Parliament for the center-right (!) Liberal Party, who is concerned about the recent drownings in the Mediterranean of Africans attempting to invade Europe. Note that, once again, the Holocaust is front and center stage as […]

First, a huge THANK YOU to those who have contributed during 2025. I’m not sure you really realize your support is critical to our success and our ability to fulfill our unique niche of providing fact-based, well-written articles on White identity, White interests, Jewish influence, and the deleterious effects of multiculturalism and massive non-White immigration.
As you know, the Dissident Right, including TOO has been widely de-platformed by the likes of PayPal, Patreon, Stripe, Square, and Coinbase (and others), so that mail-in checks (which can be set up with your bank on a recurrent basis) or cryptocurrency are the only options.
Your gifts of any amount are welcome. The best (and easiest) way of giving is to subscribe for a recurring monthly amount that works for you by using your bank’s bill-paying feature. Regarding crypto, we accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, Litecoin, and Monero.
The page with information on donations is here.
Your support is important for many of our writers, and it’s safe to say that we are now competitive with similar websites in paying them. As always, the financial base for projects like TOO is dwarfed by the financial resources of our enemies. Your support is a huge psychological and financial boost for many.
Again, the page with how to donate is here. This page has been updated to provide greater clarity. There are two sections, the top section for tax deductible donations and the bottom section for non-tax deductible donations respectively.
Let me know if any of the instructions are unclear.
Thanks for thinking of TOO.
… and Merry Christmas!
