A Tale of Two Narratives

756 words You can buy Greg Johnson’s Toward a New Nationalism here. In much of the commentary surrounding today’s politics in the United States, we have a struggle between two narratives.

The Enduring Power of Western Civilization

812 words You can buy Jonathan Bowden’s Western Civilization Bites Back here. Despite endless talk about the “decline of the West,” Western civilization remains the cultural, legal, and intellectual nucleus of the modern world.

Victor Davis Hanson’s “Neo-Confederates”

1,286 words In biology, convergent evolution explains how different species can develop genetic traits with similar form or function, yet be evolutionarily quite distinct.

These two small mammalian species developed the […]

Shifting Attorney’s Fees

1,277 words America is notorious for litigation. Much of this is cultural, but it is also driven by the general, default rule that parties pay for their own attorney’s fees.

The Communist Manifesto Revisited

3,368 words Some texts are not as daunting as their reputation makes them seem.

Life After Trump

1,833 words I’ve been asked to share my thoughts on our movement’s “life after Trump.” The topic is ambiguous, however, because it could mean “after” the beginning or the end of Trump’s current term. Life after Trump’s re-election has been great for White Nationalists, because he’s doing things that we want: closing the border, deporting […]

Alt-Right Nostalgia

1,681 words There’s a guy on X who goes by the name European Revolution. He’s an oldhead who has been around since the Alt Right days and won’t let you forget about it. A recurring theme of his posts is how much better things were back in the good old days of 2016-2019 or thereabouts. […]

Who Needs White Nationalism?

1,364 words In the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination, leftist influencers began either blaming the Right for most of the political violence in America or calling for both sides to turn down the heat. It was a profoundly ironic moment, one that, thankfully, most conservatives and right-wingers saw through fairly easily. Starting with all […]

Mazes & Monsters: A Cautionary Tale About the Dangers of LARPing

2,021 Longtime Trav readers know that I am a big fan of what I like to call “time capsule movies”, that is to say movies that only could have been made at a specific time and place. Movies about a short-lived fad while the fad was still ongoing are particularly a favorite of mine. Along […]

The Critical Curriculum

4,659 words Wayne Au Critical Curriculum Studies: Education, Consciousness, and the Politics of Knowing New York: Routledge, 2012 I fear that I have ignored Schopenhauer’s maxim: “A precondition for reading good books is not reading bad ones, for life is short.” However, the challenge with his guidance is determining whether a book, especially a more […]

Tribal Politics: Why Can Black Politicians Court Black Voters, But White Politicians Not Court White Ones?

1,935 words David Lammy is a very large man. The left-wing black Labour Party MP and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is a political giant in only one sense of the term: the width of his trousers. You could use his belt as a noose to hang a hippo with. He does, in […]

Unter Soldaten und Agitatoren, Part Two

1,630 words Part 2, “Agitatoren” (“Agitators”) looks at antisemitic and anti-Bolshevist books, pamphlets and newspaper articles circulating at the time of Hitler’s increasing political activities. This entire half of the book is unintentionally funny since it feels like every fifth word is “antisemitic.” Note that Plöckinger never defines that term. He also very rarely comes […]

Fighting the Enemy Within

1,041 words The Trump administration has taken tangible steps to fight its internal enemies.

The Union Jackal September-October 2025

3,459 words Identity Crisis It’s become something of an axiom in the UK that if former Prime Minister Tony Blair thinks something is a good idea, then it will certainly be a very bad idea for ordinary British people, particularly the ones unfortunate enough today to have white skin. Almost 30 years after Blair and […]

It’s Time to Retire “Dissident Right”

1,472 words It is said that Alexander the Great wept for there were no worlds left to conquer. I feel you, Alex.
