Loving Our Own

4,293 words What is the place of love in politics? Given humanity’s long history of wars, revolutions, and civil strife, the place of love seems very small indeed.

Fuentes Flying High

1,643 words Tucker Carlson Interviews Nick Fuentes The biggest news in Nationalism This Week is that Tucker Carlson interviewed Nick Fuentes. Everyone knows that I think that Fuentes is a slimy, unprincipled opportunist who is bad for white identity politics because (1) he isn’t white, and (2) his only (apparent) absolute is Catholicism. Fuentes is […]

1,830 words Paul Ingrassia In my last Nationalism This Week, I covered the Politico hit piece on the Young Republican racist group chats leaked by Gavin Wax, who coincidentally is Jewish.

3,614 words Ayn Rand’s lecture “Philosophy: Who Needs It” is a brief and compelling introduction to what philosophy is and why it is crucially important.[1] The title is not a question.
