Another European Destiny

Dominique VennerErnst Jünger: Un autre destin européenParis: Éds. du Rocher, 2009In Dominique Venner’s historical essay, Ernst Jünger: Un autre destin européen, the subject is presented as une figure ultime, a European archetype provisionally absent from Europe today, but nevertheless one rooted in the depths of the European spirit — and destined, thus, to...

The Edge of the Sword

Author’s Note: Myth and science are tangential to the real issue facing us, which is about politics and preservation.  The following is an effort to sharpen (or maybe just to repeat) certain ideas presented in “The Sword.”One.The starting point for all discussions of white preservation must begin with the realization that we have entered an Interregnum, a period...

Myth, Aesthetics, Realism

GuessedWorker has a new contribution to the myth debate. It is based on this article by Madeline Bunting which addresses the political implications of new research in neuroscience.I don’t see how this in anyway undermines O’Meara’s position. If the reigning liberal understanding of human nature is ultimately exposed as an elaborate myth, which it most certainly is, then...

Myth, Facts, Self-Interest

Michael O’Meara has responded to GuessedWorker. I was going to post my two cents over there, but the brief comment grew into a blog entry.The most persuasive case for the efficacy of myths is the debate over “scientific racism” itself: the manner in which “progressives” will twist themselves into a pretzel to avoid even the most obvious facts (racial differences exist, at...

My article “Toward the White Republic,” which recently won the TOQ essay contest (though under shady circumstances according to one critic), has been the subject of several internet discussions, most of which, typical of the medium, have produced more heat than light.Nevertheless, around the margins of this discussion and in a few genuine flashes of insight buried under...

Myth Revisited

GuessedWorker has responded to Myth and Self-Interest. In his latest entry, he reiterates his argument that mythization was not employed in the conquest, acquisition and settlement of the American West. He goes further and dismisses the examples I cited in my previous response as “post-facto romanticisations.” We seem to be crossing swords over the definition of...

Myth and Self-Interest

My ponderous English friend GuessedWorker of Majority Rights has weighed in on Michael O’Meara’s prize winning essay on White Nationalism and my response to it. He inclines toward the view that a materialist account of ethnic genetic interests will prove more persuasive than seductive mythic appeals in any future White racial rejuvenation in North America.GuessedWorker has...

O’Meara and Myths

Michael O’Meara has a great article on secession at The Occidental Quarterly. I see that many regulars here have already found it. This is one of the few occasions in recent weeks where I find nothing to argue with in a piece. There is no quibbling around the edges of the race debate. Instead, O’Meara tackles the central issues head on, and gets right to the point.White...

Thinking Big:
Trainspotter on Secession

Editor’s Note: I have decided to publish the following comment on Michael O’Meara’s Prize Essay “Toward the White Republic” as a stand-alone essay.Great essay!  I am in complete agreement that the present system cannot be reformed.  That ship sailed long ago. The guy made a lot of good points, but reading Sam Francis seems almost quaint now.  Things...

The TOQ Secession Essay Contest Winner:
“Toward the White Republic”

Editor’s Note: It is a great pleasure to announce the winning essay of the first annual TOQ Essay Contest: Michael O’Meara’s “Toward the White Republic.” We had 20 entries. One was subsequently withdrawn. Of the 19 remaining, I judged this the best, but there was close competition, and in the end I hope to publish nine other entries in TOQ, beginning...
