2025/08/11

3,891 words The greatest ongoing tragedy of the 21st century is the Ukraine War. The war was and is utterly unnecessary. Its violence could have been avoided with a vote to divide or not divide Ukraine along ethnolinguistic lines using the Schleswig-Holstein Plebiscite of 1920 as a model. This, however, didn’t happen. Russia’s leader and […]

1,462 words I found myself in a picturesque tourist trap during my mini-holiday at the end of July. I was traveling with some compatriots who were keen on visiting all of the antique shops and pseudo-artisanal stores in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

3,606 words Schopenhauer as Lebensphilosoph This introduction to the thought of Arthur Schopenhauer is not, strictly speaking, a part of the series on “Heidegger’s history of metaphysics” that I have been writing now for almost five years. The reason is that Heidegger had little use for Schopenhauer, and not a lot to say about him. […]

3,157 words Being a nationalist activist is difficult. You can think about nationalism and more effective methods for nationalists every day, you can make websites, stickers, graphics, go to demonstrations, concerts, write to political prisoners, be a member of nationalist organizations, donate money to “Our Cause.” But you will probably still feel that things aren’t […]

2025/08/08

891 words Conservatives often direct their criticisms at Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives by highlighting how these programs may erode merit-based systems and promote ideological conformity.

1,730 words The Left has many centers of gravity but few have been as singularly pernicious as the legal profession. The subject of judicial hostility could fill several books, but suffice it to say that the legal system is completely out of control, and has been for some time, although in the past they were […]

3,415 words A Very Civil War With Britain inching closer to mass civil unrest, it is worth dusting off the only sensible thing 1990s Conservative Prime Minister John Major ever said.
