THE RIGHT OF THE INDIVIDUAL TO HIS OWN NATION

by Ryan Andrews

To me, the performance of the Identitarian side on Andy Warski’s live chat last night represented the Alt Right in a nutshell. On the one hand, considering we are drawing from such a small pool, the level of talent on the Alt Right/Dissident Right is astonishing. Richard Spencer is verbally quicker on his feet than anyone the mainstream political nation has to offer at the moment. (John Dickerson is just as talented as an on-the-fly wordsmith, but he doesn’t have anything original to say. The fact that he is officially neutral probably limits him there.) On the other hand, the continued intellectual sloppiness/indifference is frustrating—the alt right movement is almost a decade old now, and at this point we should not be getting tripped up by basic-bitch liberal objections to white nationalism.

OPPOSITION TO WHITE FLIGHT NATIONALISM IS LITERALLY WORSE THAN HITLER

by Ryan Andrews

I've always tried to make the case that as far as ideals go, White (flight) nationalism is a good one, and White Imperium-ism (whether it be the European Imperium ideal, or any other variant of intra-white universalisms) is a bad one. Here though, I limit my argument to the practical advantages of “White flight nationalism.” Pro-White Imperium essays are usually infused with the slightly shrill and insistent tone of idealism infused with ideology. A less-kind reviewer might call it an emotional tone, but the actual arguments are practical appeals. If practicality is the territory on which they are most comfortable fighting, so be it.

As a practical matter, the issue essentially boils down to a simple trade-off between internal security and external security: the white flight ethnostate(s), without question, offers greater internal security; whereas Trey Knickerbocker’s Reconquista-of-all-of-America ideal, if it could be realized, would theoretically offer greater external security. Being smaller in size and population, the white flight ethnostate would presumably be at least somewhat more vulnerable to external aggression. On the plus side, the white flight ethnostate would have a self-selected population, making it less likely that it will lapse away from ethnonationalism. Manifest Destiny 2.0 would be a superpower, but the White population would not be self-selected at all. And of course, they would have to figure out what to do with the 135 million non-whites (and counting) who are already in the country.

BECOMING WHO WE WERE

by Ryan Andrews

Before Trump, one of the most repeated maxims in Alt-Right circles was, "There is nothing left to conserve." The statement articulated the Alt Right's very reason for being: there may have been nothing left to conserve, but we were not here to conserve.

Whereas all past right-wing movements—from fascism to post-war conservatism—essentially tried to retrofit traditional values onto modern societies, we were to be a Right that would, finally, digest modern history and move forward to something new.

LOSING LONDON TO REGAIN ENGLAND

Facing the Problem (and Forcing the Issue) of Multicultural Meltdown

by Ryan Andrews

London is the only city in the world that can credibly argue that it is both the greatest city in the world and that it is the greatest city in all of history. Excepting Paris, there is not another city in the world that has been so central to its nation’s identity for so long. (I don’t know, maybe some Scandinavian capital has always been just as dominant in its national conscious, but I’m talking about major powers.) Of England’s truly world famous monuments, most are found in, or very near, the City of London. London is England’s New York, Washington, and Hollywood, all in one. Much more could be said about London’s immense significance to England and the world, but none of it changes the fact that, sooner or later, England needs to let it go.
