Hierarchy… The word has become something of a prelude to incantations of aspirations for lofty empire and personal mastery among the contemporary dissident-right. Discerning ears will oft hear the rightist cry of, “We need strong leadership!” Yet, seemingly invariably, once a leader steps up to the plate (or is merely proffered by others as a […]
Read morePolitical Art & the Diagnosis of the Right’s Ideas Being Made “Reasonable”
It is an interesting set of ideas I have spinning off in my head at random as of late. You see, the way I think is I try to grasp a topic or idea, and then let a flutter of others pass through my third eye and then try to construct some narrative out of […]
Read moreRusso-American Paradigm Shift
It’s difficult to point to a moment in time where one could say that Christendom was united in any real sense. From the Constantinian shift1 in the 4th century up until the East-West schism of 1054,2 it could be argued that Christendom was unified in a loose sense, however the theological differences between the Latin […]
Read moreThe “Moderate” Mantra of the Status Quo
What a curious state of affairs we live in. To end a millennium of English self-rule is “moderate,” and giving a corrupt Italian government license to be more corrupt is “sensible.” To most in the world, President-Elect Hillary R. Clinton would have been the sensible outcome. It would be moderate for this moderate president to […]
Read moreBuying Away Our Freedom: Who Cares?
“I’m not selling away my freedom,” wrote Polly Walshe in the Autumn 2016 edition of the Salisbury Review, “but buying it away.” It is true that mass surveillance of purchases are only possible if people use bank accounts and debit cards.

Read moreAlt-Right Viewed From the Right, Pt. II: Retrospective
Several months ago, I had voiced my concerns about the Alt-Right and its methods.

Read morePresident “Brexit” Trump: Festina Lente
Reader, Doubtless, you either voted for Trump or contributed to his victory, and while the celebrations are still ongoing I think it essential to introduce some sobriety. Brexit, Trump, and other Rightist-millennial insurrections all claim to give a voice to the unheard, and to remember those that were forgotten. These movements put up a mirror […]

Fallitur egregio quisquis sub principe credit Servitium; nunquam libertas gratior extat Quam sub Rege pio ~ Claudian “Whoso thinks it slavery to serve under an eminent prince is mistaken; liberty is never sweeter than under a pious king.” Anyone who has studied political theory at school or university will be familiar with the work of […]
Read moreA Refugee, a Marxist and an Ultra-Right-wing Modernist Walk Into a Café…
What’s the punchline? God forbid… I drew on a cigarette, the smoke swam with the October chill. There is a Syrian joke a barber told me once: “An advisor from the U.N. travels to Syria and says to the people, ‘My country has the most efficient democracy; we know the result of the election on […]
