It was as a result of this discussion, of Three New Deals, that my program came to be called Foundationalism. And here, learning from movements of the past, I offer thoughts about how Foundationalism can be brought to pass (although I would be less negative about small-scale farming now; this article was first published November 26, 2018.) The written, original version of this article can be found...

The third book in Jünger's (unrecognized) trilogy about tyranny—not in the abstract, but how to live in relation to, and what to do about, tyranny. Any relationship to current events in the West is pure coincidence, of course. The written version of this review can be found here .

Something new:  Throw Back Thursday, in which I showcase older articles that newer readers may have missed.  This is, for once, not political.  Rather, it is an oral history of the ultra-talented Warren Zevon, warts and all.

Of the looming collapse of our own American (and Canadian) regimes, through the lens of the 1989 collapse of similar regimes in Eastern Europe. With plenty of my thoughts on how to avoid the errors made after those earlier regimes were eliminated, which errors allowed members of the former regimes to keep much of their power and privileges. Let's not do that again. The written version of this revi...

Before I began working my way individually through all of Carl Schmitt's important works, I read this excellent book, which provides a fine overview of Schmitt's thought and relevance. And that relevance to today is growing by the hour. (This article was first published November 12, 2018.)

An exposition and explanation of why God sometimes commands violence, and of why the Old and New Testaments are not in tension or contradiction.  With my own thoughts on justice, in particular the appalling concept of "social justice."

In these strange days of violent medical apartheid and state-organized hatred directed at those who will not comply with criminally insane dictates, Christopher Browning's classic work on how ordinary men end up participating in mass killing has taken on fresh relevance. Forewarned is forearmed; make ready. (This article was first published November 2, 2018.) The written, original version of this...

An interesting, if flawed, analysis of rich people, which I found particularly interesting because I am rich myself, and much richer than I was when I wrote this!

Today’s announcement is my discussion with Professor Edward Dutton, aka The Jolly Heretic! Professor Dutton is an expert on evolutionary biology and related matters, which we mention in the context of civilizational collapse, but that is not our main focus here. Rather, we talk primarily about whether the future is the High Middle Ages with rockets, what our American present is like, the revival o...

Sean McMeekin's Stalin-centric history of World War II, in which Stalin is very bad, but the real villain is Franklin Roosevelt and the philo-Communists (and actual Communists) who surrounded him.

This famous manifesto, by a man who total rejects technological-industrial society, is a challenge to techno-optimists such as I am—and thus a challenge to Foundationalism. I discuss that here, but regardless, it turns out that Kaczynski was very right about many things in our future. The written version of this review can be found here .
