Then Jonathan Revusky explains why Sabrosky is wrong
Rumble link Bitchute link Alan Sabrosky was supposed to discuss his recent article Germany Renewed, A Case for Disunion. But ten minutes into the show, he got offended and bailed out. He had asserted that the vast majority (like 88%) of sex crime perpetrators in Europe, and specifically the UK, are immigrants. I challenged his... Read More

source: @bronzeagemantis on X Trump and congressional Republicans plan to cut $880 billion from Medicaid, which could eliminate coverage for 15.9 million people. These proposed Medicaid cuts are to pay for the tax cuts that will mostly benefit the wealthy and corporations. Medicaid is healthcare for low-income and disabled people, which differs from Medicare for... Read More

Since retiring a few years back, I’ve kept myself busy by working as a night attendant for a large retirement facility in the mid-West. The two main advantages of the job are that I get to meet some wonderful people as well as walk about seven miles each night which helps to keep me in... Read More

Chinese economy has slowed down significantly since Covid-19 outbreak. The average GDP growth rates for the last 5 years have been between 5 to 6%, down from the previous 5 years between 7-9%.

source: @Starkian7789 on X I was initially planning on going to the Pacific Palisades with my friend Mattp969 that same weekend the fire broke out but obviously canceled my plans. The Palisades has a special place in my heart, as far as fond memories but it is also the source of much of my adolescent... Read More

I recently watched the 2022 Netflix documentary, Killer Sally, which unfurls the tragic life of Sally McNeil (born Sally Dempsey in 1960) who murdered her husband, Ray McNeil (a black Mr. Olympia competitor), on Valentine’s Day in 1995. Sally and Ray met while they were in the U.S. Marine Corps, and both had an obsession... Read More
Will the aftermath of the Fires cause White Flight or Mass Gentrification in LA?
source: @JeremyCom on X The LA fires have destroyed about 10k homes, which amounts to at least 20k residents who are looking for new places to live. Celeb realtor, Josh Altman, was reported by TMZ as saying, “it's becoming clear to him 50% of families are never moving back to the Palisades ... with lots... Read More
A New Political Philosophy to Address Spirituality and Sex
Colin Wilson English author, Colin Wilson, believed that sex was close to the religious impulse, and described the libido as rocket fuel to escape the body's confines and soar toward higher consciousness. In Origins of the Sexual Impulse, Wilson said “Sexual activity is driven by the same aims and motives as reading poetry or listening... Read More

In my many years as a cop (now retired) and having worked for four separate law enforcement agencies throughout my career, I have patrolled alongside numerous female officers. Some were better than others, no doubt, but I’d say that the greater number of them were either unimpressive or absolutely worthless slugs that were hired only... Read More
How the media lies about the worst scandals in British history
The “grooming gang” scandal in the UK is one of the darkest chapters of the country’s history. For years, thousands of young, White British girls were abused by pedophilic Pakistani rape gangs across the UK. Early attempts by some to bring it to light went nowhere, as all levels of the UK regime engaged in... Read More

I tweet about migrating to Russia at @cbausman and Telegram. DMs are open Blog housekeeping: It has happened every of the 4 Falls that we have been here. Energy levels in Russia seem to fluctuate more than in the West. Russians, like the French, take their vacations very seriously, and seem to do absolutely nothing... Read More
Attitudes toward nudity as a class and caste marker
Bathing of Court Ladies in the 18th Century, by François Flameng (1888) source: @_ArtMuseum on X A UK Telegraph article proclaimed that it is deeply Middle Class to get uptight about nudity. Historically, the middle class has been the most prudish and considered themselves the gatekeepers of morality while both the upper and lower classes... Read More
source: @_johnsonator on X From what information I have seen online so far, the recently arrested New York UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting suspect, Luigi Mangione, appears to have political interests ranging from Silicon Valley tech optimists and NRX, intellectual dark web centrists, anti-DEI, the HBD sphere, plus interest in the Unabomber’s Manifesto. A lot of normie... Read More
source: Noah Smith Assisted suicides represented an astonishing 4.1% of all Canadian deaths in 2022. Canada’s MAID program has gone beyond voluntary, as there have been cases involving coercion by doctors for the poor and mentally ill. A person can’t ethically make a life or death decision in a bad mental state, and Canada has... Read More
While Trump’s comeback was historically unprecedented, the election was not a mandate for Trump but rather a referendum against the Democrats and the establishment. The Democrats lost because of their arrogance, anti-democratic strategies like suspending the primary, downplaying economic hardship, too much focus on identity politics, the Gaza issue, and lingering resentment over how COVID...

James Lindsay, Konstantin Kisin & the Hofstadter school of regime polemics
Like poetry, history rhymes One of the more startling aspects of this past election cycle has been the way in which it repeated the dominant themes and challenges from 2016. Trump as a beleaguered challenger; a demographic crisis continually spiraling out of control; America and its working people betrayed by an unaccountable and decadent elite;... Read More
Observations from a weekend in Phoenix
Kim & Jessie by M83 was the song of the trip. Last weekend was my second time visiting Phoenix, Arizona, after flying in and briefly staying there on a trip to Sedona last Fourth of July Weekend. Phoenix is the fifth most populous city in the Nation, and Maricopa County is the fourth most populous... Read More
Ireland’s champion is back and better than ever
I may not be capable of authoring the most objective review of Keith’s new book, “Nationalism: The Politics of Identity”, as I’ve grown to know him quite well over the last four years and consider him a good friend (as well as a fair and honest man). Regardless of my affinity towards him, it is... Read More
The case for turning Racial and Class Identity Politics into Sexual Fetishes
Liberals are right when say that a lot of rightwing politics is sublimating sexual frustration and feelings of emasculation and impotence. However, liberals have their own sexual repression and neurosis and are perhaps even more screwed up sexually. There is a sexual component to the politics of wanting there to be more of the demographics... Read More
How California's Anti-Natalist Selection Pressures might lead to a more Eugenic Future
source: @nonebusinesshey on X Breeder Selection Theory hypothesizes that anti-natalist selection pressures mean that the genes of those who reproduce become more pronounced in the future. Anti-natalism shreds the genes of those who are not genetically predetermined to reproduce, leaving those who are wired to breed dominating future generations. The fertility crash is analogous to...

Demographic observations from visiting Suburban SoCal Malls
Del Amo Fashion Center source: Wikipedia My trip to the LA metro last weekend involved visiting various malls. Despite the hype of dying malls, Southern California still has a thriving mall culture. Del Amo Mall in Torrance is super diverse with Whites, Latinos, Asians, and Blacks, all well represented. Del Amo is one of the... Read More

Some of the most amazingly colored reptiles and snakes have the most intriguing shapes and complex patterns on their skin that truly sets them apart from other reptiles. But such eye-popping colors and bright patterns serve a purpose – namely, to keep predators away from them. They are warnings to not attack or eat them.... Read More

Russia, like America, is unconquerable - militarily
I’ve been answering questions about various things in the comments, and have found that to be a good way to address all topics people are interested in which might not fit into an article anytime soon. Consider scanning them, you may find something useful there. I’ll try to keep articles shorter, writing more often instead.... Read More
Russia's human capital makes it a no-brainer (for me).
Housekeeping … In my last post I made an approximate list of what to cover in this series, and am impatient in getting to a lot of it, deciding which is most important. What I’ll probably do is write a few of the more important articles in quick succession, just to get it out there.... Read More
A Christian take on moving here.
I tweet about migrating to Russia at @cbausman. DMs are open. Since my family and I fled Biden’s January 6 persecution, arriving in Moscow in early 2021, I have watched momentum build around a serious government effort to encourage desirable immigrants from developed countries, i.e. the US and Europe, to move here. Putin’s recent decree... Read More

Without a dramatic change of strategy, this election is now the Democrats' to lose
Donald Trump is heading for defeat in this year’s election. I realise stating this is controversial — there has developed what I think is a misguided sense of inevitability about a Trump victory, especially on the radical right. When I said recently that I now believe Trump is going to lose, I encountered a flood... Read More
California lost almost One Million Whites from 2020 to 2023
A Brookings Institute Report mentions “The 2020 census showed that the 2010s was the first decade in the nation’s history when the white population declined and the second consecutive decade when the white population under age 18 declined.” Despite a modest boost in White fertility and a slight increase in White immigration, Whites continued to...

Last spring Atlantic staff writer Franklin Foer authored a well-circulated obituary to American Jewish power. The left and the right, through excesses of racial identity politics and the promulgation of populism and illiberal ideologies, are converging to squeeze Jews out of public life in the land of milk and honey: the USA. The article relies... Read More

The meme Castizo Futurism is used to describe the blending of Whites and Latinos to form a new ethnogenesis, as well as a rightward political shift among Latinos. A liberal publication describes Castizo Futurism as multiracial White Nationalism, as a lot of young White nationalist men aren’t actually White, with prominent dissident right figure, Nick...

Jews don’t own the media. 25-30 years ago you could say that, but it’s not true anymore. I did a deep analysis of the US media recently looking for the extent of Jewish ownership and came away a bit chagrined as the default hypothesis was one of Jewish ownership. Turns out they definitely own a... Read More
I recently spent a day and a half in Sacramento, on a road trip throughout Northern California. I was impressed by how urban Sacramento has become, especially since the last time I visited about 15 years ago. There is continuous walkable urbanity from Midtown to Downtown and the Waterfront. There has also been a lot... Read More

A Response to Steve Sailer
Steve Sailer recently wrote an essay titled In This House We Believe: The Protestant Roots of Wokeness. Sailer states that his intent is to argue against what he calls the “obsession among callow rightists about declaring wokeness a foreign, un-American import by Marxists or Jews or Jewish Marxists or whatever.” With all the talk about...

Radically unconventional solutions to the breakdown in social relations
Incel ideology is radical centrism in that it is biological determinism yet obsessed with equality and talks about sex in Marxist dialectics. However, radfems especially the more racist ones, are also radically centrist. This is because they want generous social safety nets and greater social empowerment for women but austerity and mass incarceration for low-status... Read More
A tepid defense of the Welfare Pill
source: @ScottMGreer on X Scott Greer has a recent YouTube podcast Don’t Take the Welfare Pill, denouncing the embrace of welfarism on the dissident right. Greer is a reactionary and an elitist who promotes White identity based on preppy WASPs and fraternities. While a degree of elitism is needed, the reality is that country club... Read More

The population bomb, birthrates and the future of humanity
The Economist Philip Pilkington wrote an essay on what he called “Capitalism’s Overlooked Contradiction”. He identified this contradiction as the “tendency of the rate of people to fall.” Pilkington was here borrowing from Marx, whose prediction of a necessary collapse of capitalism and transition to communism was premised on a fundamental contradiction he believed he...

Is South Africa America’s Future?
The American dissident right has a strong interest in South Africa, as far as a template for America’s future, as Whites face becoming a minority. Afrikaner commentator, Dan Roodt, described South Africa as the canary in the coal mine for the West. The American left also has an interest in South Africa’s politics, especially the... Read More
Danish genetic researcher, Emil Kirkegaard, had a recent study asking 500 Americans what they considered to be the greatest taboos. Racial hereditary and IQ disparities were by far the greatest taboo, beating out incest, p-dophilia, gay germs, and anti-Semitism. Unfortunately, I am very pessimistic about hereditarian thinking being normalized anytime soon, and it is actually... Read More
J.K. Rowling Stands up for Chromosomal Reality and the Rights of Women
Scotland’s newly minted Hate Crime and Public Order Act makes it a felony to "stir up hatred" relating to age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity or being “intersex.” The maximum punishment is seven years’ imprisonment. Scotland’s Prime Minister Humza Yousaf said the law was designed to deal with what he called a "rising tide... Read More

If we were to pinpoint the key to America’s success through the two World Wars and the standoff with the Soviet Union, it would be its vibrant economy and impressive manufacturing capabilities. This self-evident economic prowess has been reduced to that of an enigma. A substantial portion of the American empire’s value today is imaginary.... Read More
Source: @GraduatedBen on X “Open Borders for Hotties” is a dissident right meme, though Sacha Barron Cohen’s, Ali G, had a scene where Ali G in parliament only let in fit female asylum seekers. Cohen is a liberal who was likely parodying misogyny and xenophobia, though perhaps he was hinting that is actually a great... Read More

As much as neo-conservative/Zionist ideologues like Robert Kagan write about the exceptional inevitability of the American world order, there is a general sinking feeling among the people of the United States that this country does not have a future. Is this impression justified? Students of imperial decline can examine historical observations and parallels to decide.... Read More
A Civilizational Perspective Comparing Jews, White Gentiles, and Blacks
I believe a lot of Jews (but certainly not all) rather bad in certain ways. Yet we all know Jews who don’t fit the stereotype, including all the Jews I grew up who were friends of my Judeophilic family. I also had some Jewish friends as a young man. The thing is that I never... Read More

One of the most sociologically unique aspects of the United States is the everlasting prominence of Evangelical, or Born-Again, Christians. The group is known for its literal interpretation of the Bible, espousal of Whig individualism on both spiritual and economic matters, and their rabid Zionist posture on foreign policy matters, often rationalized through end-of-the-world prophecies...

Thoughts on some recent debates surrounding the proper response to wokeism
In recent weeks, the hot topic of discussion in the dissident right has been the merits of meritocracy. More specifically, debate has centered around the question of whether supporting a “colourblind meritocracy” in Western, multiracial societies may be a good way to restore the dominance of White people over their homelands and curtail the radical...
