Don't trust anyone who constantly blackpills. It means their analysis is weak and superficial.
It's one thing to look ugliness in the face, sometimes we need to be reminded of why we fight. But it's quite another to draw dumb conclusions from it. Your grandchildren will look back on your enemies with disgust.

Many in the West cling to the idea that individualism is a core and enduring part of the European identity. History and philosophy, however, tell a different story.
Individualism is vastly overblown as a supposedly inherent feature of Europeans, and it is anything but permanent. It is something very new, done to us only recently. And what was done can be undone—especially if only recently. What is great in us is great because of our folkhood, not because of our individuality.

Folks who have not heard of the Conservative Revolution in Weimar Germany have a very deep and fruitful rabbit hole to go down. Truthfully it could be considered the dissident right of its time.
Counter-Currents did a great overview of this movement, spotlighting two of our authors (and more to come): Edgar Julius Jung and Arthur Moeller van den Bruck.

The German Conservative Revolution and Its Legacy

Young women are moving further to the left and men are staying where they are. The political gender gap is widening. Why? This sociologist tries to explain why:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxLYn9tqanY
Ultimately the explanation boils down to "it's complicated" and "things are changing". This is as good as saying "I don't know". Every social question is complicated, but this doesn't mean there isn't an answer.
In this case women are moving to the left because "polite society" (social authorities) are moving to the left, and women are higher in social conformity than men (see Eagly & Chrvala 1986; Cross, Brown et al. 2017). This explains why women are moving and men are not.
Are there complicating factors? Yes. But the answer is fairly clear. This guest seems bamboozled by what is not really that complicated.
The lesson is that when people say "it's complicated" as an explanation, this usually means they don't have an explanation. Beware of oversimplifying. Be even more wary of overcomplicating.

Forwarded from The Chad Pastoralist: History
Special thank you to Imperium Press for sending me a review copy of Germanic Theology by Tristan Powers.
Two things I liked:
-Powers' discussion on the intrinsic physicality of the realms within the cosmological structure of Yggdrasil. Powers' position corresponds to the reachability of Hel, for example, by the living and the dead found in the sources. He brilliantly details the way in which the nine realms exist with overlapping structures that are intrinsically connected via the world tree.
-Powers' position on Ginnungagap mirrors my own, that the Yawning Void serves as the creative potentiality from which things arise. Powers suggests that given the aforementioned two points, we should reject the notion of transcendence entirely, which I do not necessarily agree with. However, I agree with the concept of creative potentiality which is also explored in Aristotle's theory of potentiality and actuality.
Two things I disliked:
-Powers' mistakes and reliance on hypothetical reconstructionism. For example, on page 79 Powers suggests that Odin's byname Þundr means thunder and connects this to the hypothetical "*Dyḗus ph₂tḗr". This is incorrect, as Dr. Jackson Crawford states that the word Þundr is not related to thunder and is instead a past participle to the verb þenja, meaning "stretched". Therefore, Odin's epithet Þundr likely references His hanging on Yggdrasil.
-Powers references Hinduism as a filler source too frequently. Additionally, the book mostly goes over numerous scholarly theories as opposed to the study of the nature of the Gods and the metaphysical principles within the myths themselves.
Ultimately, Germanic Theology by Tristan Powers is a decent book but I would not call it theology. Commendably, there are gems contained within such as the aforementioned comment on Ginnungagap, and the book itself functions extremely well as a compendium of academic theories that can be referred to when studying.

What do Jordan Peterson, Ragnar Redbeard, and the latest crop of vitalists have in common? They all want a meritocracy, or perhaps a "natural aristocracy" if we're splitting hairs. In this article, we show why merit is an empty concept, the perfect vehicle to smuggle in rule-by-foreigner.
Rishi Sunak will never, even in principle, be “qualified” to rule over a people he does not belong to, however competent he may be. Folkishness—or consistently taking our own side—means saying that the first qualification of a ruler is that he is one of us.

Controversy and more controversy—the latest article wasn't intended as bait, but it might as well have been:
https://imperiumpress.substack.com/p/against-merit
Out of the woodwork we get defenses of:
- the free market
- NAXALT
- "the individual"
- "the exception proves the rule"
Aristotle had a saying: hos epi to polu in the Greek ("on the whole", "for the most part"). Biology is not disproven by one exceptional case. One biological hermaphrodite does not mean "gender is on a spectrum". You can't build a system on exceptions. If you demand no exceptions, you have to do away with economics, biology, psychology—basically everything other than logic, math, and physics.
And yet, people think that it's a mark against nepotism (and for meritocracy) to say that some sons don't measure up to their fathers. "You wouldn't hand your retarded son the family business, would you?" Consistent application of this principle destroys folkishness, in-group preference, and inheritance. Precisely the things people have built civilization by and for.
NAXALT is still deeply rooted in our psychology—even of the radical right. I will keep pushing until it is gone, root and branch.
