Tomorrow at 20:00 CET, Nix Jeelvy and Hwitgeard will join me for another installment of Pox Populi & Friends. This livestream will be a discussion, but perhaps even a bit of a debate, on some of the 'sacred cows' of the nationalist right. I think it will provide much food for thought. Do join us!

The ADL has declared that "It's Ok to Be White" is now both hate speech and a hate symbol, it's time to move on to Phase II.
We take the next most defensible position that White People do deserve to live.
Of course this will also be declared hate speech but it will also show how far they are willing to go in their hatred of Whites.
