HISTORICAL ODDITY: THE ALT-RIGHT IN 2016

Back in 2016 the Alt-Right was still a potent movement with a wide and growing appeal, as testified by this presentation by RamZPaul at the American Renaissance conference.

Unfortunately, Richard Spencer's channelling of Nazi symbolism at the NPI conference later that year and his "alliance" with TRS and the Daily Stormer allowed the Left to successfully turn the "Alt-Right" into a caricature of Hollywood Naziism, making the movement toxic in the sense of becoming a movement that nobody could join without a trust fund.

THE 2017 AMERICAN RENAISSANCE CONFERENCE: THE CULTURIST REVIEW

by John K. Press

Since American Renaissance conferences started, in 1994, Sam Dickson has given the event’s closing remarks. And, this year, he mentioned, that he parted ways with his esteemed veteran comrades, Jared Taylor and Peter Brimelow on one issue: They think America can be saved! Dickson’s topic assumed that America’s total breakdown is imminent. This is one of the main points of debate I want to discuss. But, first to the juicy stuff!

JARED TAYLOR: WHY THEY LIE?

Jared Taylor's speech at the recent American Renaissance conference, dealing with the important issue of why many Whites lie to themselves about race, and double down on their denials even when repeatedly proved wrong by experience. 

MANOSPHERE RISING

by Dota

Roosh was recently pilloried on the feckless Dr Oz’s show. Dr Oz is the sort of hack who practices pop medicine and has been criticized for often endorsing unscientific nonsense to the gullible masses. Nevertheless despite Roosh’s lackluster performance on the show, many regard this as a victory for the manosphere. It indicates that the manosphere is gaining mainstream recognition (or notoriety) and no publicity is bad publicity. I believe there are a couple of reasons why Roosh is despised and I shall briefly discuss each one.

SWIMMING IN OUR ENEMIES

by Colin Liddell

The Engelman controversy has been interesting. Not since watching Busby Berkeley’s Babes on Broadway (1941) have I seen so many knees jerk in unison. The hatred of Engelman, a poor soul who is driven to live his life on comment boards, is clearly palpable, like an open wound or a grisly, throbbing case of butt hurt.

AMREN CONFERENCE, 2014: THE SAGA CONTINUES

by Scott Terry

Dear Children of the Cathedral, gather around and hear my tale.

Thus begins the camp-fire story of many a post-Enlightenment father, waving a flashlight under his chin while teaching his adopted Haitian children the evils of latent European "racism".  With every spooky vibrato he instills in them the prejudice and conviction of a new religious order:

"Once a year, when the moon is right, evil phantoms descend onto a Tennessee State Park, to utter their wicked incantations and pray to the long-dead gods of their ancestors..." 

TWO YEARS LATER

John Derbyshire - not as dotty as he seems.

by Gilbert Cavanaugh

Who would have ever guessed that John Derbyshire, a mild mannered Brit with a Chinese wife, and two kids by her, would become the face of white supremacy in the eyes of the left? Well, so it goes, and today marks the two-year anniversary of Mr. Derbyshire’s expulsion from the ranks of National Review, and polite society as a whole. Although it is seductive to commemorate this by providing a list of other thoughtcrime martyrs who have sprung up in the last twenty-four months, I propose something a bit more productive. Let us consider what has improved since “The Derb” so unjustly received his two minutes of hate two years ago, after all, our mothers were right when they told us, “God opens a window every time he shuts a door.”
