Mykola Volkivskyi is the former advisor to the chairman of the Committee of the Ukrainian Parliament (2014-2021). A political and
I’m disappointed in the NDP [New Democracy Party] in Greece and the NDP [New Democracy Party] in Canada. They are different parties, but in both cases they’re merging into a leftist ‘uniparty.’ It’s as if we just let the parties get run by unelected technocrats who basically are telling us how to live our lives. That is not freedom.
Political friendship comes from the temporary alignment of interests between two peoples. This same principle applies to political hostility. When that is understood, it becomes clear that today’s foe may be tomorrow’s friend.
It is often claimed that these actions are completely free of violence, but this is not the case. There is verbal violence, there is simulated, theatrical violence against works of art, and that is violence too.
Both Alexander the Great and Cortés oversaw processes of vast imperial expansion. Even in his lifetime, Cortés’ stature could only really be compared with that of Julius Caesar, Hannibal, or Alexander himself.
You have to disconnect people from the idea of the heroic if you want to weaken a nation… The arts establishment doesn’t want heroes, because a hero represents something that is ‘unequal.’ Heroes represent something that has achieved greatness.
“There’s a widespread perception in Europe that the real problem is not the EU’s many failures, but the people who point them out.”—Viktor Orbán
The CDU has never been a conservative party in the classical sense, but for many decades the party understood how to integrate a conservative wing into its leadership.
In this episode of our ‘Occasional Dialogues’ series, Alvino-Mario Fantini interviews Jason Miller of GETTR about the prospects for conservative media in Europe.
We Estonians know from our own historical experience what happens when we make concessions to Russia.
“There didn’t seem to be an option where a woman could be consecrated and dedicate her life of evangelical chastity to the service of God and the Church in the context of a local church—then I realised that the vocation of consecrated virginity fills that gap.”
In the second in our ‘Occasional Dialogues’ series, Harrison Pitt interviews Peter Hitchens about the Russia-Ukraine war.
“The Germans want European solidarity, and solidarity always means, euphemistically, that I am poor, so I am taking something from you.”— Roland Tichy, founding editor of Tichys Einblick
The implication of the postmodern social constructivist view of knowledge is that the teacher, at best, has nothing substantial to offer and, at worst, is engaged in some form of oppression of students. When school systems adopt the latter view, it is logical that the social status of teachers is eroded.
In the first in our ‘Occasional Dialogues’ series, Harrison Pitt interviews Yoram Hazony about his new book, Conservatism: A Rediscovery.
Even a cursory look at history reveals that the concept of Catalan identity as separate from Spanish identity is a modern invention: “The Spanish region now known as Catalonia was part of the historical unity of Spain for more than a millennium before the term Catalonia existed.”
“It’s not particularly about COVID, but about recognizing the patterns we are creating. I think that is the main topic in the film: people need to start seeing the patterns and recognize how they are being copied with every new global threat.”—Marijn Poels
“The reason for the leak, I think, was a last-ditch attempt to generate enough pressure on the justices to force them to reverse themselves. If that kind of pressure succeeds, what will that mean for America?”—Joseph Meaney
“I think conspiracy theories are proliferating because we can all feel the ground shifting under our feet but have no easy way to understand and make sense of that feeling of chaos.”—N.S. Lyons
We are facing a progressive mafia engaged in the manipulation of entire populations using a pseudo-religion in which more and more Westerners believe and are ready to deploy all forms of violence to impose. Poland should not step back anymore, not by an inch.
It was not only the lost election which caused a shock in opposition circles, but also the knowledge that the progressivist approach makes their situation worse. The intellectual identity of this layer of the intelligentsia has received a big blow now, and this is what is ailing them, actually. They have much to think about: is it absolutely necessary to look down on people who think differently? Is it possible that progressivity, the core of their message, is no longer valid?
