How to Be a Counter-Revolutionary

How to Be a Counter-Revolutionary

The future does not belong to the champions of sterile sex and dumpsters filled with dead babies. Rather, it belongs to those who will fight for love, self-sacrifice, and the children of the next generation.

Marine Le Pen versus Éric Zemmour: the War of the ‘Rights’

Marine Le Pen versus Éric Zemmour: the War of the ‘Rights’

The distribution of votes among the various right-wing candidates resembles a game of communicating vessels. Marine Le Pen is ploughing her own furrow. Eric Zemmour puts ‘des mots sur des maux’ (words on evils): it is what he does best. He can participate in the reconfiguration of the French right. Will he go much further?

Climate Leninism

Climate Leninism

To suggest that the scientific community can reach irrefutable consensus on anything but basic conceptual and axiomatic structures of a scientific discipline is to dismiss the most sacred process of the scholarly endeavor itself: the peer review process. Nothing guarantees the integrity of scientific progress like the free practice of scholarly thought.

Ecclesiastical Newspeak and the Hatred of Catholic Tradition

Ecclesiastical Newspeak and the Hatred of Catholic Tradition

Catholics are surrounded by the upside-down chatter of ecclesiastical newspeak, and it is here to stay, that is, until a rediscovery that the Church derives her purpose from the Great Commission—the mandate to make disciples of all nations, and this cannot be substituted.

Has a New “Xi’an City” COVID Variant with Ebola-like Symptoms Escaped China?

Has a New “Xi’an City” COVID Variant with Ebola-like Symptoms Escaped China?

The CCP is little more than an international crime syndicate with political affectations. Knowing what is going on in China is dependent on sifting through their official lies, deflections, and ‘dezinformatsiya.’ The fact is, we just don’t know what unleashed monster they’re running from in Xi’an. All we know is that the CCP is lying about it.

Hey, Brussels: Learn Hungarian!

Hey, Brussels: Learn Hungarian!

For the uninitiated, ‘gendering’ is a new phenomenon in Woke High German. It means attaching a horribly out-of-place asterisk and the feminine ending of a word to the masculine noun. Woke High German leads to orthographic monstrosities like Verkäufer*in, Bürgermeister*innen, or even Studierende*r.

Turkey: A Textbook Example of Bad Inflation Policy

Turkey: A Textbook Example of Bad Inflation Policy

High and rising inflation has put yet more pressure on the Turkish lira, but instead of making the hard choices to curb inflation, the response from President Erdogan’s government is likely to aggravate the situation.

Fearmongering as a Business Model

Fearmongering as a Business Model

Reporting on the link between palm oil and cancer is just one example of how the mainstream media avoids fair and balanced reporting, and squelches moderate voices. Some media, besides pushing an ideological agenda, try to make money by stirring up fear.

Wu-hoo!

Wu-hoo!

I promised myself that I would ignore the global panic that has taken the world over (one might say it has ‘gone viral’) and substituted itself for every other known psycho-pathology. But the U-turn by the international commentariat was too much of a gift to satire to be missed.

The Euro at 20: A Failed Experiment

The Euro at 20: A Failed Experiment

The common currency was a gigantic economic experiment, an application of political preferences rather than the product of sound scholarly research. As is always the case with grand government plans, for every problem they solve a new one is created.

A Preliminary Look at the Spanish Government’s Recovery Fund Spending

A Preliminary Look at the Spanish Government’s Recovery Fund Spending

Spanish political life will polarize around those offering policies that have straightforwardly led to present difficulties, and those whose program has promised to drastically reduce a state whose regional level is notoriously hypertrophic and reindustrializing the country. VOX is the most obviously poised to take advantage of this.

Vaccine-Nation

Vaccine-Nation

The Pandemic shall mutate into oblivion sometime relatively soon. When it does, we will all be left with the aftermath. Wrecked economies, shuttered businesses, and life opportunities lost are only a small part of it all. Worse still are the questions that may be asked. When the rulership had us put on our masks, they took off theirs. The experience of the past two years make plain a reality only a few saw before: the modern citizen has only those rights his rulers deign to give him, and these may be taken away at any time. In a word, the myth of democracy is dead.

No Insurrection: The U.S. Capitol Riot in Retrospect

No Insurrection: The U.S. Capitol Riot in Retrospect

President Trump is no longer considered guilty of having caused the storming of the Capitol. He is now being accused of not having stopped it. This is not a shift in the nuance of the narrative regarding his role: it is a substantial retreat.

Escaping the Triangle: Rene Girard and the Professional Managerial Class

Escaping the Triangle: Rene Girard and the Professional Managerial Class

The strategy of the super-woke failson anticipates resistance by using terms and premises that the establishment cannot rebuff without rebuffing its own basis. He acts as real-world, unpaid HR department officer. This is a means for proving his ambition and ability to police discourse, that is, his managerial competence. At bare minimum, this provides an escape valve for the frustrated failson to take his anger out on culturally deprivileged groups (‘hicks,’ ‘deplorables’) while reinforcing hegemonic discourse.

Useful Crisis: European Union Looking at New Emergency Powers

Useful Crisis: European Union Looking at New Emergency Powers

One of the fundamental laws of government powers is that they always invite mission-creep expansion. Laws that begin their lives as benevolent instruments for the common good can easily morph into tools of power for the sake of power itself. As the EU Commission finalizes its proposal for a Single Market Emergency Instrument, the citizens of the EU are well advised to keep themselves informed of that proposal.

Is a New Social Violence Coming?

Is a New Social Violence Coming?

What Augustine witnessed in his friend—that interior opposition between fidelity to the peace of Christ and addiction to violence—Joseph de Maistre presented at the societal level. Why was it that, prior to the arrival of Christianity, every culture practiced sacrifice, including human sacrifice? The reason, for Maistre, was that every society was seeking in nature what could only come by supernatural intervention.

Brexit Worked: British Economy Leaves EU Behind

Brexit Worked: British Economy Leaves EU Behind

The British economy has been largely unaffected by its exit from the European Union. That is not to say there will not be other repercussions; there is an ongoing debate about the future of the financial industry in London, with the implication that the British capital may lose its status as a global hub for the financial industry.

The Impossible French Conservatism

The Impossible French Conservatism

The Right in France finds its birth in the original trauma of the French Revolution. It is on the side of those who lost, of a history that will never be written again. The French Revolution was also a period of intense persecution of the Catholic religion, and a painful synthesis took place in people’s minds: a fallen monarchy united to the martyred faith. The right-wing remained affixed to this double cause to defend.

Roe’s Reckoning: America’s Abortion Laws Face Judgement

With the case ‘Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization,’ pro-life activists are holding their breath and daring to hope that a post-Roe America may be within reach.

The EU Participates in Harmful Tax Collusion

The EU Participates in Harmful Tax Collusion

Once countries with costly governments have created a Berlin Wall around their high-tax jurisdictions, they will be free to collude on other taxes beyond the corporate income tax. Personal income taxes, wealth taxes, death taxes… there is no end to the imagination of a government that does not have to worry about tax competition.

Inflation: A Silver Lining

Inflation: A Silver Lining

Central banks are recognizing that their own sustained monetary expansion has now awoken the sleeping giant of inflation. The goal now is to avoid trapping us in the same protracted inflation period we experienced 40 years ago.

Already before Boric takes office in March next year, there are troubling signs that he may lead his country far and fast down the same road that Venezuela took under Hugo Chavez.

Focus on the Family: How Hungary Makes Conservatism Work

Focus on the Family: How Hungary Makes Conservatism Work

Growing capital formation and a rising standard of living are irrefutable evidence of how the Hungarian government is successfully putting its conservative values to work. With a distinctly conservative welfare state, Mr. Orbán has led his country out of a demographic slump. Marriage and birth rates are up noticeably, which is precisely what the Hungarian government was aiming for.

Islamophobia versus Islamo-Leftism: a French University at War

Laurent Wauquiez, president of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, has just announced that he would put an end to the public subsidy previously granted to the branch of Institut d’Etudes Politiques located in Grenoble due to its “ideological and communitarian drift.”

<i>Quo Vadis</i>, Europe? A Choice between Democracy and Freedom

Quo Vadis, Europe? A Choice between Democracy and Freedom

How could an ‘innocent’ citizens’ initiative for democracy bring about powers of government that would pose any threat to our freedom? To answer this question, we first need to remember that freedom is not only lost to boots and bayonets. We can, actually, vote away our own freedom. By giving up our rights to government, small slices at a time, we can lose control over our lives just as definitively as if it happened through open oppression.

Nature Makes us Queasy

Nature Makes us Queasy

It seems that both the architects of the Brave New World and the serfs who live in it actually fear the state of nature found in the Rousseauian paradise. In fact, we have a profound aversion to nature. Rather than acting like animals, we feel a kind of queasiness not only when we witness the more animal-side of human life, but even when we witness animals acting like animals.

Vaccine Mandates and the Nuremberg Code: An Ethical Analysis

Vaccine Mandates and the Nuremberg Code: An Ethical Analysis

There is an ethical case to be made against vaccine mandates. It is far from straightforward, and it requires careful reasoning and methodical analysis. This conversation would be centered around the question about the role of government in our lives.

At the Heart of the French Presidential Election

At the Heart of the French Presidential Election

Until a few months ago, the French media believed that the presidential campaign would be a repeat of the 2017 campaign, with a second round that would pit Emmanuel Macron against Marine Le Pen and end with the re-election of Emmanuel Macron. Today, nothing is written in stone, and the fundamentally unpredictable nature of political life gives us hope.

Do We Need University HR Departments?

Do We Need University HR Departments?

Nowadays, HR departments are focused on pursuing a ‘woke’ culture, dictating what staff can say or do or even think (or increasingly not), and introducing evidence-free, trendy but transient initiatives such as mandatory unconscious bias training, and ‘Equity, Diversity and Inclusion’ courses.
