Foreign Policy, Non-Interventionism, and the Draft

The Homeland Institute’s latest poll was inspired in large part by the ongoing Gaza crisis. It was conducted between late December, 2023 and early January, 2024. Related topics include the legacy of the Global War on Terror, the US’s relationship with Israel, and opposition to the draft.

Major findings are that:
Only 23.1% of all respondents and 30.2% of Republican respondents can think of a concrete example of Israel aiding American interests off the top of their head.

68.4% of respondents oppose direct intervention in the Gaza conflict with airstrikes or boots on the ground.

25.7% of respondents age 18-29 would oppose a draft through peaceful protest, and 16.9% through non-violent civil disobedience.

4.4% of respondents age 18-29 said they would oppose a draft through violence against government property, and 4.4% through violence against government officials.

The findings of this poll are particularly relevant given the recent US airstrikes on the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen, which risk escalating the Gaza crisis into a broader regional or even global conflict.

Yukio Mishima, the giant of Japanese literature and defender of the Japanese tradition, was born on this day in 1925. Find out more about his life and work at Counter-Currents. https://counter-currents.com/2024/01/remembering-yukio-mishima-15/

"I have been saying that the best way to make a revolution succeed in Japan is to string together the distinguished figures of Japan's political, financial, and cultural worlds, everyone in the so-called ruling forces, and make them walk naked through Ginza. Faced with that ugliness, the masses would immediately understand the reality of the power that rules them. They would understand directly that it is not beauty that rules this world. A revolution of beauty would surely break out immediately."—Yukio Mishima, "The Aesthetics of Manliness," 1969

Its time to kneel on the neck of MLK's legacy. He was a trashy anti-white communist agitator.

When Americans worship MLK, they are worshiping their enemy like whipped curs.

There are many myths of the modern world in need of shattering, but MLK is at the top of the list.
