Mechanisms Toward Local Sovereignty Made possible by the abundance of land available, America’s European founding stock sought denominational freedom in the New World. Entire congregations of Christians traveled across the Atlantic Ocean on ships such as the Mayflower to establish colonies that were closely tied to their religious beliefs, as well as the

On Meritocracy Within the contemporary works of fiction in which the main character becomes a ruler, the most common trope is as follows – The country is run by hereditary nobles. They are greedy, unconcerned with the well-being of their subjects, and incompetent. They look down on commoners and discriminate against them. The
THE STONE AGE MINDSET Over the last few weeks, I have been exploring Orkney. It is a cluster of small islands that are located an hour north of mainland Scotland by ferry. One of its most striking features is that it is home to several Neolithic tombs, stone circles and domestic complexes. These monuments
TOLKIEN AND THE FIGHT AGAINST ENTROPY The Lord of the Rings wrestles with the problem of entropy. Its heroes battle against the ever-increasing power of darkness. The walls of the keep crumble, the nations are in decline and the will of the warrior is shaken. Evil stretches its long fingers into many places. Only one course
THE ( NOT SO ) YELLOW PERIL A specter hangs over the East. Tyranny, Despotism, immorality, degeneracy, disregard for the sanctity of life, and a burning desire to conquer and sweep away all that is good in the world. Only one thing stands between us and them: figuring out who ‘they’ actually are. We seem to think
THE DOOMED HISTORY OF BRITISH REVOLUTION Britons, and the English in particular – are not a revolutionary bunch, it’s not in our nature. Whenever the topic comes up, this vague point seems to be raised. It’s something in our culture, or simply in the water perhaps. We just get on with it and make things
TUCKER CARLSON: A CLASH OF HIGH VS. MIDDLE Tucker Carlson stayed on my feed far longer than I expected. As a Fox News anchor, he should have been the archetype of right-wing containment. Indeed, for many decades this had been his function. Tucker’s place within the regime was to be the token Republican; the plea for a
MUSK, TWITTER, AND YOU. This is an evolving story, and so in an effort to not date the below too much – we shall focus on some wider context, rather than the exact events unfolding. But it remains to be established that – subsequently to buying a significant stake in Twitter and refusing to be integrated
LONGING FOR THE FRONTIER The Walking Dead TV series has finally come to an end. For eleven years the post-apocalyptic show has graced our screens. In that time, it has gained a major following. The fifth season premiere was watched by 17.3 million people. Spin-off shows have been spawned, while there are new
Mulvaney And The Terrible Elephant Man Elephant Man (1980) is a biographical drama directed by avant-garde filmmaker David Lynch. It’s based on the real life of Joseph “John” Merrick, a man living in Victorian England suffering from a rare medical condition called neurofibromatosis type 1. The condition caused abnormal growths and deformities all over his
JOIN THE CIRCULATION OF ELITES: A REVIEW OF FOUNDATIONS OF POLITICS Disclaimer: The reviewer received a free registration in the course in return for a commitment to write this review. Many people hate their boss. Yes, he has formal authority as the guy who hires and fires and perhaps even assigns how many hours you work. That only rankles all the
Wagner Day "I believe in God, Mozart and Beethoven, and likewise their disciples and apostles; - I believe in the Holy Spirit and the truth of the one, indivisible Art; - I believe that this Art proceeds from God, and lives within the hearts of all illumined men." Wilhelm Richard Wagner Wagner
PUTIN IS UPENDING THE TABLE Much is afoot in international markets, this much is obvious. Between existing inflationary pressures to supply chains, fiat currency printing, and financial market troubles in regional markets (notably China’s property sector, and Turkish currency devaluation), there would already be a bumpy few years in our collective economic future. Then
MOVIE REVIEW: IMPERIUM (2016) J.K Rowling has done something again and the left is mad. This time, her intellectual property has been licensed out by a video game company, which has gone on to release HOGWARTS: LEGACY. This game takes on what the task of simulating what it might be like to live
THE 1913 FEDERAL RESERVE ACT The Federal Reserve is the central bank of the United States of America. It issues the U.S. dollar, which happens to be the world reserve currency. The Federal Reserve is the most powerful institution in the world today, arguably the most powerful ever: this is because it has total
QUESTING FOR IMPERIUM Man is hungry by nature. Whether it be for adventure, experience (of a sort), control, understanding, or ownership, he wishes to know what is beyond the next hill – metaphorical or literal. He wishes for growth, in himself and his holdings. He wishes to be able to answer the question with
THE REALITY OF REPARATIONS Well, there is not much to say. It’s finally happened. I remembered conversations had with people coming on a decade ago now on the topic of ludicrously effeminate liberals screeching at the top of their lungs for reparations on Youtube. The white man, in their world, was the primordial
WOES VERSUS SARGON: LIVING WITHIN THEIR STORY Millennial Woes has returned to Twitter from exile and on his second day is stirring up debate on right-wing Twitter, setting his sights on Carl Benjamin. Carl is the edge of the dissident right closest to the acceptable array of opinions of the Overton window, so much so that even
Chimpanzee Power Politics A couple of months ago, I produced a video entitled ‘Chimpanzee Power Politics’. It focussed on the pioneering work of the primatologist Frans de Waal. In his book Chimpanzee Politics: Power and Sex Among Apes, de Waal analyzed the behavior of a group of Chimps housed at Burgers Zoo in
A RATIONALIST’S ARGUMENT FOR IRRATIONALISM “Some men have been rational for short periods- this is the sum total of the appearance of Reason in History. But they have never made history, as it is irrational.” (Yockey, 2022) I don’t believe that I am the first young man to become enraptured by the ideas of
ROCKWELL’S AMERICA Few people could point to a more renowned American artist than Norman Rockwell. His works stretch across the 20th century highlighting the ideals of contemporary America. Exploring the themes of masculine virtues, literature, Presidents, Civil Rights, American liberties, and Space Exploration. Rockwell’s brush has told the story with vividity,
FEAR AND LOATHING IN LONDON I returned to London at the end of 2021 after an extensive period living and working in East Asia, in many respects I now wish I hadn’t. Hindsight is 20-20, as they say. If I had known then what I know now I would have taken a different course
CYCLICAL HISTORY – A BRIEF INTRO TO GLUBB, TAINTER, AND TURCHIN Among the thinkers who work within the broad school of cyclical history, many fall into one of two major camps: those who intuit or infer patterns in existing histories or narratives, and those who model the ebbing and flowing from a statistical viewpoint. The latter can more robustly verify the
THE CRISIS OF MODERN SECULARISM Modern Secularism is in crisis. There is a common view that traditional religions are in their own crisis, which is largely true, there is a certain amount of ignorance of how our ideas of secular society are being completely changed, if not supplanted. While this is not a strictly new
ROLLING FOR POWER: THE INTERSECTION OF ELITE THEORY AND D&D A hooded figure stalks silently down a corridor toward a room at the end of the hall. Voices can be heard from just beyond the door discussing matters of state and war. Creeping silently forward, the hooded man stops for just a moment, then swiftly kicks open the door. With
IN DEFENCE OF LARPING Within the usual discourse around this topic, larping is defined as the incomplete, perhaps insincere, and by implication – fruitless attempt to embody or achieve something. An example might be that one would larp as a knight in Quixotesque fashion, or conversely to larp as a revolutionary. This term has fairly
IDEOLOGICAL AMNESIA Ideology, like religion; matters to people. So much so that it will make them throw away their lives in the hopes that their chosen doctrine will be empowered. No amount of money will convince a man to sacrifice his life in such a way. Clearly, ideology matters, with differing contents
FIFTH-GENERATIONAL WARFARE – BEYOND ARMIES AND MEN The established wisdom, from both historical precedent and common logic; is that to wage a war, no matter how sophisticated the tools may be, a hardy man with an iron will is still required to wield it. We in the West seem to have abandoned that principle and chosen instead
THE ETERNAL QUESTION: BUT IS IT ART? If you were once like me, you used to think that beauty was wholly subjective – in the eye of the beholder – and the question as to what made something art was an intellectual query and not something of pertinent or immediate concern. But then, perhaps like me, you once went
SPOTLIGHTING ART FOR THE MOTH-LIKE MASSES Editors Note: Edward White (aka KingEmperorPenguin) is an author and Youtuber. Readers are greatly encouraged to check out his work with the above links. Last year, I uploaded a video on YouTube called It’s Time to Move On (Fans of Critic YouTube Are Not Seeking Good Entertainment). This essay
Cringe and Propaganda “Zeal takes the strength of man’s spirit and convictions and violently opposes meaninglessness and nihilism.”
CREATING FROM THE RIGHT A challenge that all of us dissident right-wingers face is the need to retake culture. We lament that the left subverts traditional values and attacks our way of life. In the political arena, there is a clear-cut path to victory. Victory in politics will not guarantee victory in culture. Victory
ONE RING TO RULE THEM ALL Working carefully, methodically, diligently, he makes a tiny little capsule. It is hidden, safe, barely perceptible to his predators. Enclosing himself, he lays dormant, silent for about two weeks. Then, he emerges. Now with wings, now a creature of flight, a caterpillar has changed into a butterfly. Or did he
BUILD YOUR TRIBE The globalized, disenfranchised, sterilized, secularized, urbanized, and the personalized world which our children are being born into idolizes the deracinated individual above all else. The deracinated individual is rootless, isolated, and bereft of both heritage and meaningful ties to the culture of their ancestors. The deracinated individual is therefore easily
BORDERLINES: CHRISTIANS & PAGANS The Christian-Pagan Question has gripped this sphere of things as early as Dr. Revilo P. Oliver’s critiques of the religion following his removal from the Buckleyite National Review sphere. This faultline has made us aware of its presence through the tremors which emanate forthwith, taking the shape of arguments
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHARE? On March 23, 2010, the United States President, Barak Obama, signed into law the Affordable Care Act, or as it is more fondly referred to as ‘Obamacare’. It was such an important and inspiring bill that its chief advocate in the US legislature, the Speaker-of-the-House, Nancy Pelosi, encouraged members of
CONFLICTING TRADITIONS AND UNIVERSAL TRUTHS Part of the draw, if not the main draw, to studying topics such as power relations, social dynamics, and political trajectories – is the promise of unearthing some universal qualities which will make sense of the world in some underlying way. Conversely, there is the opposite proposition: that all traditions are
A PASSING THOUGHT ON SPENGLER’S CYCLE The Spenglerian cycle, at least in part, has been accepted as the God-given truth by most on the side of it. I argue elsewhere that this is due to Spengler being a prophet and not a philosopher. Yet even prophets have trouble predicting the entire future, and every theory has
OWNED AND BORROWED POWER Networks of influence and influence hierarchies are something that are well-known, and well understood in principle, but specificities around what the peak of any such network would look like – are often elusive. There may be disagreement on whether, in practice, a large number of small nodes exist, or one great
A TANGIBLE SHAPE OF PARALLELISM Asha Logos, a content creator whose channel everyone in Our Thing should be subscribed to, recently put out a call for parallel institutions on our side of things. This article serves as both an answer and a further call, like the relayed trumpeters atop watchtowers on the borders of East
THE GOLDEN MEAN Eudaimonia: Aristotle and most of his contemporaries used this phrase to speak of the end goal of humanity: a life well-lived. To successfully live life, they argued, one had to rationally apply virtuous principles to moral dilemmas. One of the principles used by Aristotle was that of the Golden Mean.
THE HIGH TECH HALFWIT Last summer, I was amazed to watch my five-year-old daughter get on her first bicycle and immediately ride it like she had been doing it all her life. She didn’t need a push first or someone to hold on and give her a sense of safety. There were no
THE POWER OF THE MERCHANT Counter-Economics is a term used to describe the process of cutting off the State from access to resources. It is the direct action through black or grey markets against the power of the Ruling Elite. Where we are taxed, one must avoid paying; where the State builds a monopoly, one
LESSONS FROM HOPPE: YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE There are forms of organizations that cause society to degenerate. This is the underlying theory in much of Hoppe’s work, from “Democracy: The God that Failed” to “Getting Libertarianism Right”, and there are lessons to be taken here for any right-winger, even those who reject the Austro-libertarian approach of
POWER, TYRANNY, AND THE TWILIGHT OF DEMOCRACY Alexis de Tocqueville foresaw that over time, democracy would become a conservative mechanism as opposed to a progressive one. Ever astute, De Tocqueville realised very early in his examination of the democratic systems in America and in his native France, that although each successive wave of franchise reform would entropically
INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY & THE RULING CLASS A fundamental lament about modern industrial society is the atomization of society. Individuals struggle to find meaning in social orders that destroy and subvert traditions. A valuable line of questioning rests at the very beginning of industrialization: Why? Advanced tool use is a hallmark of humanity. We define industrial tools
TYRANT ON THE CORRIENTES Dr. Francia is a name little-known among those of our community. A tragedy considering he fulfilled Carlyle’s vision of a Great Man and Bronze Age Pervert’s (BAP) vision of a Man of Power. Carlyle has spoken of Dr. Francia at length in an essay of the same name
THOMAS CARLYLE: THE DIVINITY OF ORDER Despite the pains and lengths man has suffered to legislate and manage post-industrial society, we find ourselves living in a state of disorder, and that we have lived in a growing state of it for centuries at the least. No matter the quantity of data and peer-reviewed studies that suggest
