"We are not opposed to any particular party. But we are opposed, within all parties, to that which stems from this egalitarian ideology, of which Western liberalism and European social democracy constitute today the privileged points of support. What we feel alien to is not a particular political formation, it's the world in which political formations struggle - this world of economy-as-destiny, this world of the forgetting of being, this world of calculative thinking that weighs all values at the fairest price, this world of the inessential and the dictatorship of the "they"."
-Alain de Benoist @alaindebenoist , "The Cultural Causes of Political Change"
"Multipolarity does not mean America vanishes — it means it shrinks, focuses, retreats from the insane delusion of universal rule and remembers how to be a proper nation again. Isolationism will not come as a strategy. It will come as a reflex, a survival mechanism for a body politic sick with exhaustion. America will look inward, not as a punishment but as a necessity, tearing away the distractions of global empire and picking up the pieces of its own broken construction. What rises from this collapse will not be a new Rome or another iteration of failed hegemony. It will be something leaner, harder, and more honest — a pole among many, no longer with pretensions to rule the world but carving out its own space within it. The White American core, gutted but not extinct, will be the cornerstone of this reconstruction, a rediscovery of the roots that gave the nation its identity before it lost itself in the haze of planetary control. Multipolarity is the inevitable future. Within it lies the chance for America to be reborn, stripped of its arrogance, its illusions, and its empire, left with only the raw material of what it could still become."

Is Trump starting to get that Colorblindness is insufficient and that Whites must be protected under Civil Rights Law?
Robert Stark (@Starkian7789) wonders if the Trump campaign will become more overtly pro-White.

Sisyphus Radio: De boerenopstand in Duitsland en de ideologische ommezwaai
Het Sisyphus panel verkent de situatie rondom de opkomst van de AFD in Duitsland, en bespreekt de boerenprotesten, die wonderwijl uit de gevestigde media gehouden worden. Is er een ideologische kentering aanstaande in de West-Europese landen? Het Sisyphus panel onderzoekt deze mogelijkheid. Laten we hopen dat de vele protesten het fundament onder de gevestigde macht verzwakken, zodat er een frisse wind kan waaien door het ideologisch landschap in de EU.

Amazon review of Esoteric Trumpism:
“This volume is a unique thought experiment about the most important and influential man in America today. Throughout Esoteric Trumpism, Mr. von Hoffmeister paints a picture of an America that is fractured — both physically and spiritually. The current political class of our once great nation are Lovecraftian beasts — gnawing and tearing away at the fabric of Western society that they loathe to their core. Their legions cheer them on, as the cult worshippers do: trying to bring the chaos of the Great Old Ones into our own reality.
The author builds Donald Trump up like a hero of myth: Arthur, Siegfried, Conan; a Knight of the Right. Trump’s quest is the quest of the American people: Make America Great Again — by casting the beasts into the abyss and finally draining their swamp that they’ve exploited for personal gain for far too long.
The book is broken up into easily digestible vignettes, read in a few minutes not unlike a religious devotional. The Quest of Trump is a religious one — to reclaim America for its true believers and purify its ideals. Mr. von Hoffmeister believes that America is not yet lost like the great empires of yore — in fact, Donald Trump may create a new renaissance of free thought and unified belief by leading America into a new golden age.”

Flaneur in the Third Rome, an essay by Richard Wilson, published by Arktos.
Richard Wilson reflects on the eternal glory of Moscow and the splendor of St. Petersburg.
Some say it’s a Finnic word, Moskva, some say it’s proto-Slavic, whatever the case, you come here already with two images in your mind: Red Square and the Kremlin. Maybe St. Basil’s. This, for most people, is Moscow. It’s much more, but it takes a bogtrotter, a hillbilly, redneck, hick to explore it properly, thoroughly.
I explored mountains and valleys as a child, and not to sound like Greta Thunberg or some granola-snorting wide-eyed hippy but you start to see connections, how the...

Il mio Paese mi fa male per la sua falsità da schiavi,
con i suoi carnefici di ieri e con quelli di oggi,
mi fa male col sangue che scorre,
il mio Paese mi fa male.

Trump and the Caesarian Age: A Spenglerian Reading, by Constantin von Hoffmeister (@constantinvonh), published by Arktos.
Constantin von Hoffmeister examines the role of leaders like Donald Trump in the context of Oswald Spengler’s theories on Western decline, presenting their emergence as symbols of resistance and potential rejuvenation amidst cultural decay.
This is a chapter from Constantin von Hoffmeister’s Esoteric Trumpism (Arktos, 2024).
In his magnum opus The Decline of the West, the German historical philosopher Oswald Spengler argued that all that has been and will be going on is embraced in an immense historical world-picture. The waves of history, with their rhythms and cycles, bring about leaders who embody the spirit of their age. In the context of our contemporary civilization, one could argue that Trump, with his forceful persona and decisive actions, embodies what Spengler referred to as the “Age of the Caesars.” In the cultural winter of the West, wherein decline is the overarching theme, Trump emerges not merely as a political figure, but as a manifestation of the Faustian spirit seeking to rejuvenate the civilization it once propelled to great heights. He stands as a defiant titan, reminiscent of those great figures who, in past epochs, strode forth amidst decay to establish a new order. As modern Western culture spirals downwards, it is these types of leaders, these Caesar-like figures, who rise, attempting to stem the tide and carve out a last bastion of...

"The vampire qua werewolf has a prominent place in my philosophical corpus. That place is an occulted inner sanctum where a ritual sacrifice is being performed. … The black dog is sacrificed so that the white wolf can come into being. The black dog is sacrificed by the white wolf from out of the future. It is a symbol of destiny and an affirmation of what, from a limited perspective, is branded as 'evil' but what is in fact part of a mercilessly amoral evolutionary force."

"The deeds of great men, who are the Individuals of the World's History, thus appear not only justified in view of that intrinsic result of which they were not conscious, but also from the point of view occupied by the secular moralist. But looked at from this point, moral claims that are irrelevant, must not be brought into collision with world-historical deeds and their accomplishment."
— Hegel, Philosophy of History
