When someone faces criminal charges for voicing their beliefs, everyone—whether they agree or not—should pay attention. The reality is that if the government can threaten and punish Caroline or Päivi for their convictions, they can punish anyone.
Although the newly released report from the United Nations does not explicitly state the transformative consequences of its policy recommendations, it unabashedly agitates for using the economy as a tool for global social engineering.
The laureate, French author Annie Ernaux, is known for her long-standing commitment to the Left, perhaps more than for her literary output.
The reality is that skyrocketing euthanasia rates and ever-easing conditions, all without accountability, send a devastating message. It says that at some point, a life is just no longer worth living.
What commentators deem satire has been a reality for Catholics in Germany over the last fifty-some years: a cultural Marxism has been pushed into all dimensions of ecclesial life.
The actual fallout of the price cap depends in part on the contractual situation between seller and buyer. However, no contract is immune to the forces of the free market.
Germans have become incapable or unwilling to defend our national interests. We no longer secure our own borders—we are too refined for that. We leave it to others, such as Poland and Hungary, and then lecture them when they do it.
The establishment’s cowardice leaves no place for honesty. It is a safe, risk-averse, and timid strategy for those without guiding principles or will to follow them. As Mikhail Bulgakov once wrote, “cowardice is the most terrible of vices.”
The French believe a union of the Rights is highly unlikely in the French political landscape, and perhaps more significantly, they consider coalitions undesirable.
The cold, hard truth embedded in all these numbers is this: going forward, the U.S. Treasury will have to continue to raise interest rates just to keep investors from selling American government debt.
The modern media environment is less and less informing and entertaining, and more and more ‘re-educating.’ It wants us to question and then reject the instincts which have served us well for millennia. It wants us to doubt our own eyes and ears.
The new enclosures and ‘fourth industrial revolution’—with its counterfeit morality, its saccharine pseudo-ethical appeals to inclusivity and saving the planet—may not need a large force, but they do need a disciplined, dependent population.
There was no ‘crash’ of the pound. The big rate increase by the Federal Reserve simply created an irresistible opportunity for investors to make some good money, and do it safely.
For the Italians, there is no ‘fascism’ attached to Giorgia Meloni. Her coalition is centre-right, full stop. On the other side of the Alps, the repeated use of the word ‘fascist’ dispenses with any nuanced analysis; few articles actually look at Meloni’s programme.
It is time to break the unproductive loop between impatience, single-issue rejection of remarkable candidates, and the political status quo. The NatCon Statement of Principles is a first, major step in that direction.
Like radicals in all corners of the world, instead of celebrating a leader and iconic figure, the government chose to make politics of the monarchy which has always stayed above the fray of politics.
A conservative system of benefits protects citizens from destitution, but to succeed, the definition of poverty needs to be overhauled. The Heritage Foundation is moving in this direction, and their ideas could positively impact European welfare policy.
If nationalism engenders a sense of loyalty and devotion as it did in the case of John Paul II, it might be worth asking, to whom (or what) are those who have no sense of loyalty or devotion to their nation devoted?
Those at the conference were urged to embrace “disruptive conservatism” rooted in Christianity and the sovereign nation—a kind of conservatism that presently is not recognized by the ruling elites.
The challenge facing Fratelli d’Italia is to successfully transform itself into a genuine governing party. Since its creation, it has always been in opposition; it is precisely for this reason that it is now attracting attention, as it appears to be a credible alternative.
From its seat of power in Strasbourg, the EU Parliament seeks to punish Hungary’s clear election victory and will use financial blackmail to do it.
The continuing war will plunge Europeans into a brutal winter, while Russia profits.
Despite differences in their aesthetic grooves, the ‘Ultra MAGA’ Trumpist Republicans of CPAC and the DeSantis-leaning National Conservatives have plenty in common in terms of what they oppose, and what they would prefer to see supplant the current order.
The letter’s vision of universality tries to argue for the nation as an important element of a universal moral and ethical vision, but by skipping over the nation entirely when it describes the common good rising from families to the international realm, it reveals its bias against it.
The Greek government has the cost of its current debt under control. However, what gives cause to worry is its soon-to-come need to build up new debt.
Today, the unitary ideal is dead, and factionalism is baked into any serious understanding of British politics.
The defenders of human dignity are clenching their teeth at the implacable scenario unfolding before their eyes. It is written, euthanasia will pass. For the moment, the vast majority of the French political class is silent on the matter.
In an analysis of the Ukrainian army’s counterattack, I discuss its use of an ancient eastern battle tactic in a way never seen in Europe before—and its strategic use of mistakes made by a careless Russian leadership.
When a currency depreciates, it can lead to a self-reinforcing outflow of capital—especially when the depreciation is unprecedented. The euro has never been this weak against the dollar.
Patriotism and the attachment to national products are not the only reason American giants have failed in Italy. The local offer persists, because it is genuinely superior in every way to the foreign offer, and marketing snobbery is not enough to overcome this obstacle.
