“Communism and corporatism are mortal enemies. Communism (and Marxism) is class conflict, corporatism is class collaboration.

The two could hardly be more different. Under corporatism, the whole comes before the part. For Marx, the part comes first – the class is above all.”

We think of the past as something based, and it is. But the past is not a single thing—the past had its progressivism and liberalism too. And nothing illustrates this better than the history of law.

Law may seem like an idle topic but here we see why the study of law is so crucial—culture is downstream of politics is downstream of law. We have here also a great example of how universalism always becomes equality: universal applicability (“equality of opportunity”) invariably becomes universal moral worth (“equality of outcome”).

I really enjoyed this article on Millennial Woes’ Substack.

https://millennialwoes.substack.com/p/unpleasant-minimalism

As someone like Woes who really appreciates minimalism, this flattening out of particularities offends my taste greatly. Minimalism is hard to pull off, and this ain’t it.

Liberalism is fundamentally entropic. It wants to break down barriers and eliminate the differences between peoples. It’s doubtful that this aesthetic was developed specifically to do that, but the effect is to sand off the rough edges of our character, to universalize us.

What makes a folk what it is, are its flaws, its irregularities, its particularities. Think of an American, an Englishman, a Chinaman, or an Egyptian and you will immediately picture what they don’t share with each other. The worldview that produces this impoverished aesthetic reduces peoples essentially to icons. You might see the burka or the turban as a stick in the eye of whitey, but ultimately even that will go and you’ll just be left with a generic “human”.

Liberalism is a fundamentally childlike way of viewing the world, a world of safe spaces, of high neoteny and low sexual dimorphism, where everyone is the same, everyone is heard, and everyone gets a turn at the bat. Kindergarten, basically. No wonder its aesthetic belongs in a daycare.

👉 Get it HERE

Neoreaction (NRx) is a school of thought in the radical right that has gained recent prominence by the US Vice-President elect being associated with it. NRx takes classical counter-enlightenment reaction and updates it with new firmware. In applying modern engineering principles to social problems it concludes that the oldest technology is the best. But neoreaction is also very controversial, especially among white nationalist circles. The KDADS break down NRx and its major ideas.

Worth a read. This article covers some of the ground we covered in our Kulture Dads episode on Canada but provides more historical depth.

Canada is fundamentally reactionary and loyalist in nature, which captures part of what we call the Tyrrhic as opposed to our more Odinic neighbour to the south.

As a result, Canada is also fundamentally illiberal in the same way that England is fundamentally illiberal. This may anger some who accept Whig revisionism about the English folk character.

Canada is not revolutionary. It is the restorator, continuator, and preservator of order. My folkish theorizing about the ancestral principle and authority-as-primordial grows directly out of my Old Stock Canadian ancestry.

Folks, The Cultured Thug Handbook is selling so fast we can't keep up with demand.

Because of the sheer sales volume, some copies may go out the door a couple of days later than we expected as we shift to filling orders in bulk.

The publication of the CTH is a big event. The book is going to shift the discourse, especially among normal men who are verging on radical right-wing views. And when it hits Amazon it's game over, which will happen soon.

In the meantime, tell your friends about it. Buy a copy for your drinking buddies, for the guy you talk shit with at the job site.

I've done some informal market research with normie friends of mine and now they're texting me constantly asking questions and telling me how they see the Deep State, the Cathedral, and "High-Low vs. Middle" everywhere. The CTH is a grenade lobbed into mainstream politics. It's even more effective than I thought it would be.

Greetings, everyone.

Millenniyule X will begin on the 12th of December 2024. It will be broadcast live on Twitter, Odysee, Telegram, Dlive and Rumble. There will be 52 interviews, taking in a broad swathe of the Dissident Right as well as a few figures from outside it.

The format will initially be the usual one: four interviews a night, along with a sprinkling of solo AMAs and one "Christmas cards" stream. But there will be a new feature this year...

After Christmas there will be six "banquet" hangouts with many guests from Millenniyule past and present. These will be themed: Scottish, English, Canadian, American, Germanic, and "open to all". The latter will hark back to the anarchic beginnings of Millenniyule - it will be a hangout open to the public.

There will also be a 1-hour "countdown" video immediately preceding the first interview. That video has already been completed so there is no chance of it not being ready on time - as has sadly happened in previous years - and this year it is something quite special, commemorating a decade of the festival.

The structure will be something like this (times shown in British):

11th Dec - Prologue AMA (10pm)
12th - countdown video (7pm)
12th-24th - 4 interviews each evening
25th - Christmas cards stream (2am)
25th - Christmas Day AMA (10pm)
26th - Boxing Day AMA (10pm)
27th - banquets 1 + 2
28th - banquets 3 + 4
29th - banquets 5 + 6
30th - Morgoth (8pm)
31st - Outro AMA (8pm)

The full schedyule will be published around the 8th of December. The guests will be announced each day up till then, both on this Telegram channel and the recently-recovered Twitter profile.

Millenniyule needs your support.

I love this so far.

It lays out all of the big brain ideas in an orderly manner but boils them down to plain language.

It fits nicely next to Marcus Follin’s muscular minimalism but adds a little sprinkle of “go fuck yourself”.

This is a serious ideological manifesto that drinks beer on the porch with the boys.

In one breath it’ll give a meaningful argument for the intellectual traditions of old. Then two lines later it calls the current critics of it a bunch of gay retards.

I was going to promote this anyway because I’m a nepotist and Mike is my boy.

But, it’s going to speak for itself once it gets out there.

Cultured Thug Handbook is a knuckle sandwich.

The main way Trump screwed up last time is not breaking up the cliques and alliances within the power structure. If he has a serious neoreactionary or folkist on his team, or just someone who has read Nemesis or The Populist Delusion, they could really do a lot of damage to the Deep State. And take my word for it, these people do read us.

4 years ago Republicans dusted off an old procedural rule called the "Holman Rule". It's not legal to fire public servants without jumping through a lot of hoops, but this rule lets them reduce their annual salary as low as $1.

This is not a prediction, but there is reason for optimism. The whole vibe has completely shifted in the last year.

We say this a lot but it's worth taking stock from time to time of how far we've come in a short space. Last time Trump won, you probably had to hide that you were a Trump supporter. Hell, maybe you weren't even a Trump supporter. Now not only are you but probably a bunch of people you know irl. We went from "tariffs are racist" and "legalize all dreamers" to the sitting president talking openly about remigration.

Huge vibe shift in the last year, but that didn't come out of nowhere. It came from thousands of men putting their balls on the chopping block and telling the truth at great personal cost, for years. Take the W.

The Trump win means very little in terms of policy—Trump did almost nothing the first time and he won't do much this time either. The significance of the Trump win is as an indication that elite moods have shifted. Changes like in the above graph don't just happen from the grassroots. They happen because somebody took the thumb off the scale.

First, elites are genuinely moving toward the right. Certain elements of finance (specifically, venture capital) are now hostile to wokeness, DEI, and ESG, and are pushing back against it. They still won't touch race with a ten-foot pole, but they are back to a kind of "raceblind meritocracy" which is a step in the right direction.

Second, the regime ideology has become so detached from reality that it is actually threatening geopolitical interests and economic stability. The last thing the power structure wants right now is a cackling half-caste in a pantsuit negotiating with men like Putin and Xi. This could never have been allowed because the regime is at least half-serious, and needs to get its act together.

Third, the other side may have had a motivation in quietly taking the L. Economic fundamentals are absolutely abysmal right now and it may be that the crash that was deferred in 2008 and 2020 can no longer be put off. With Trump at the helm this could be blamed on him.

But the takeaway is that the power structure is now being challenged by a counter-elite that is far less ideological and just wants to make sure the ship doesn't capsize. This both opens up and forecloses on different opportunities. The system wants to go back to boiling the frog slowly. This will buy us time, but the rightward momentum must continue, which means the most of the hard work for the radical right lies in the future.

They Are Scrubbing the Internet Right Now

Instances of censorship are growing to the point of normalization. Despite ongoing litigation and more public attention, mainstream social media has been more ferocious in recent months than ever before. Podcasters know for sure what will be instantly deleted and debate among themselves over content in gray areas. Some like Brownstone have given up on YouTube in favor of Rumble, sacrificing vast audiences if only to see their content survive to see the light of day.

It’s not always about being censored or not. Today’s algorithms include a range of tools that affect searchability and findability. For example, the Joe Rogan interview with Donald Trump racked up an astonishing 34 million views before YouTube and Google tweaked their search engines to make it hard to discover, while even presiding over a technical malfunction that disabled viewing for many people. Faced with this, Rogan went to the platform X to post all three hours.

Navigating this thicket of censorship and quasi-censorship has become part of the business model of alternative media.

Incredibly, the service Archive.org which has been around since 1994 has stopped taking images of content on all platforms. For the first time in 30 years, we have gone a long swath of time – since October 8-10 – since this service has chronicled the life of the Internet in real time.

Very revealing article by Bezos:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/28/jeff-bezos-washington-post-trust/

Reality is an undefeated champion. It would be easy to blame others for our long and continuing fall in credibility (and, therefore, decline in impact), but a victim mentality will not help. Complaining is not a strategy.

What seems like humility and taking ownership is really just damage control by the Cathedral. They realize that the radical right and other alternatives are outflanking them on every imaginable side. Disclose.tv, Telegram channels like CIG, and smaller outlets like The Noticer are crushing them in journalism. LLMs (most promisingly, open source LLMs) are replacing the need for Google. Temu and Alibaba undercutting Amazon. Twitter now allows radical right talking points. Imperium, Counter-Currents, and individual creators of courses are replacing higher education with a superior alternative. Urbit may even replace DNS hosting. They are in real trouble when the payment processor gatekeeping party is over.

So this is Bezos trying to get out in front of it. But it's not an apology, not an admission of failure in journalism. He still believes WaPo have the finest journalists around. They don't. Their journalists are below the level of people who do it for free, whom he calls "unsourced". No—for Bezos, the failure is a branding issue. That is all they plan on fixing.

Don't buy their fake ownership of the issue. Keep pushing, keep fighting, stay the course. The beast is wounded and admitting to this in full public view. The coup de grace will come, sooner than you think.

When the re-built site launches it will probably be a bit less slick, but it will be much more functional, which is what matters. Over time we will retool the site so that it not only works as well as YouTube, Spotify, and Odysee, but it looks as good as those too.

But first things first—we will make it run smoothly.

HAIL OUR FOLK

👉 Get it HERE

It's spooky season where the veil between worlds is thin. The KDADS take a look at a stone cold classic, the movie that made John Carpenter a household name. How does it hold up almost 50 years later? They also analyze his directorial and cinematography style, and the results are wild.

Feels like we've cultivated the best audience imaginable where Washington and Cromwell are viewed as "hmm a bit controversial" but Genghis Khan who reduced the global population so sharply that he literally changed the weather, elicits "nice... that guy was based."

NEW BOOK — George Washington (Great Men Series)

https://www.imperiumpress.org/shop/george-washington-great-men/

George Washington was the first leader of what would become the greatest political power in the history of the world. His name is synonymous with America.

As the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, Washington led a ragtag force to victory against the world’s most powerful military. He then navigated the deeply divided political landscape of early America, fostering national unity despite fierce ideological battles between the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans.

NEW EPISODE — The Outlander — Being an Outlander

https://hearthfireradio.com/podcast/being-an-outlander-video/

What is it like to be a man of the North, living on the edge of a desert? In this video, Mike explains what it's like to be an "expat nationalist", the folkish man whose tie to his native soil has been severed. More to the point, we discover that we are all going to be expats soon, that the liberal machine intends to push us all off the land.

Then in only four years, we see a massive swing to the right. And not just back to the centre-right—Silicon Valley is trending hard right.

NEW EPISODE — Radio North Sea International — Barrows: The Monument of our People

https://hearthfireradio.com/podcast/barrows-the-monument-of-our-people/

The Indo-European barrow aka kurgan aka burial mound is a funerary monument tradition that lasted about 6000 years and spread from Eastern Europe as far as Chine to the East, the Atlantic to the West and Siberia to the North. This monument is not only the proof of our greatness but is also the sacred centre of the Heathen religion.

Just click the "RSS feed" link at the top right whether logged in or not to access it.

We have our web team (yes, team!) on the case, so we will be announcing a lot more functionality soon. Turns out we slightly underestimated how complicated it would be to replace YouTube. But we are getting there.

The mannerbund concept has been so romanticized that it has become yet another antinatal distraction for young men.

Modernity has rendered the so-called warband obsolete. Even the final vestiges of it in previous decades were just surrogate activities.

Due to thrownness, the current male isn’t even built for such social architecture because he is too disagreeable and narcissistic.

The only thing that heals the need to organically belong is pair-bonding and siring children.

It is the last organic rite of passage that will forcefully transform you from boy to man.

I think it’s time to relinquish this hauntological nostalgia of fratboyism and encourage what modern men are actually built for.

Then in fatherhood and clan building they find real bonds of fellowship.

NEW BOOK — The Foundations of Political Science

https://www.imperiumpress.org/shop/the-foundations-of-political-science/

Modern works on political science are little more than propaganda, and are worthless as science. This book is something else entirely.

Written by the man called “the father of American political science”, John Burgess’ book gives the reader a solid foundation for understanding our world. Instead of the fictions of modern works, Burgess presents us with truths:

— Nations have an ethnic foundation
— The character of ethnicities informs the political character of a nation
— The state developed historically, not through a social contract between free individuals
— Liberty does not exist in nature, but is created by the state.

Today, there is an urgent need for introductory works that present an alternative vision to the liberal vision. This book is the classic work in the field, written by a man who was both supremely qualified, and who lived at a time when sane political views were simply taken for granted.

STATEMENT ON WEB ISSUES:

Since launching the Hearthfire site we have encountered quite a few web issues.

The main reason why is that we don't use an out-of-the-box solution like Wix. We decided not to, because we don't want to hand your details over to big tech. However this means everything must be hand-coded and so the site is taking a while to get dialled in.

Most of the major issues such as login problems have been dealt with but a few still remain. If you are having trouble, please join the chat in the comments below. Alternatively you can contact us through the site. The more details you can provide, the easier it will be to fix.

Some things that can help if you are encountering problems:

— Use a standard OS/browser combination. We will support all browsers but some may not work well temporarily.
— Try accessing on desktop. Most of the issues have been on mobile.
— If streaming doesn't work, try downloading the podcast to your device and listening from there.

Thanks everyone for your patience. It's taking longer than expected but within a month or two you will have a smooth-running alternative to Odysee and YouTube, just for our guys.

We recently did an episode on ADHD on Kulture Dads. A lot of guys in this thing either have ADHD or have some elements of it.

We really wanted this episode to be not just interesting, but useful. So in addition to our usual deep dive into the roots of the topic, we also gave a ton of practical advice for dealing with your ADHD scatterbrain. How to cope, how to maximize it, and how to understand it.

Maybe even more important, we spent a lot of time explaining how your wife or girlfriend can understand and cope with it. It's just as hard on her.

So here's the whole episode for free. Listen to it, you probably hear a fair bit of this in yourself. And show the Mrs. too. Maybe it will help.

See you next time, DADS

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

Thank you all for supporting Hearthfire Radio. This is a big step forward for heathenry. So many of you have reached out and said things like "this has been needed for years". It's a labour of love.

But the reality is, it's also very expensive. We budgeted for it to run 3 months before it has to pay for itself. We are now halfway through that 3-month period and we are also halfway to the number of subscriptions we need. But the bulk of people signed up right away, so this means that we are actually behind, and may not meet our goal in time.

So please don't wait to sign up, or it might be too late. This is our best shot to have our own platform.

We're going to launch a few things that will make it easier to support us. Thanks to everyone who has signed up so far. Please send a DM to your friends and tell them about us. The more eyes we can get in front of, the better our chances.

An astonishingly un-self-aware comment by James Lindsay.

He's claiming that when Kamala Harris says "we can see what can be, unburdened by what has been", she's echoing a Marxist idea. He's not wrong.

Where he is wrong is thinking that this same idea does not come from his own classical liberalism. The idea of leaving old and irrelevant tradition behind comes directly from the French Revolution. This was a year-zero ideology. They literally rewrote the calendar to make a hard break with the past, to "unburden" themselves from "what has been".

Marxism is unthinkable without classical liberalism. More than that—Marxism is the logical conclusion of classical liberal premises. James Lindsay, with his milquetoast Enlightenment fetishism, is just afraid to go all the way to what his assumptions demand. When you start from the idea that the past is something to be overcome, you end up with the idea that biology itself is to be overcome, because your biology is just your deep prehistory.

Illiberalism is part of the dissident minimum. If we're liberal, we're with James Lindsay. And if we're with James Lindsay, then however unwittingly, we're with Kamala Harris.
