At long last my first book, Hated and Proud, has been published by Arktos Media. It is available in eBook, softcover, and hardcover from Arktos, Amazon, and wherever dissident books are sold. Hated and Proud began its life as the dissertation requirement of a Ph.D. in Anthropology. As such it still remains a deeply theoretical book, albeit one that,… Continue Reading
The Derelict Agōgē
Within five minutes of sending Counter-Currents an essay on the intellectualization and counter-socialization of a young mind, what the bourgeois world calls “homeschooling,” I was being beaten with two plastic hockey sticks. My son might not know it exactly, but his hyper-violence is an active and formidable break on the becoming-bourgeois demanded of him by… Continue Reading
Becoming-Autonomy
Destroying the old world through revolutionary transgression is often presented in these pages as if it is less an action of gesture than one of language. This, of course, is incorrect, as gesture and language cannot be compartmentalized as homogenous zones of the event. Discourse and action/narrative and behavior are coterminous. If it appears otherwise… Continue Reading
Genealogy of a Becoming-Revolutionary, One
What happens when a pagan dies? He goes to heaven, silly. Random entry-point I. The effect of words is not a matter of belief, let alone truth, but obedience and conformity – most of which is unconscious: “Language’s primary function is not to communicate or inform but to issue orders;” “Speech acts don’t establish, share,… Continue Reading
This is a Symphony
What shall we do, when public art becomes so vulgarly Marketable, So Progressive, so Modern, so Global? Set it on fire, and in doing so, create the next avant-garde: The flaming wicks of Molotov cocktails will be our paintbrushes, Terrifying sirens and megaphones will be our orchestras, we’ll scribe New… Continue Reading
The Revolt? No, ma’am. I’m Revolting.
Drunken Exposition on Imperium Europa On October 30, 2013 Dana Roccapriore hosted me for an episode of his radio show Imperium Europa. Dana asked some familiar questions about my time in Rome and my essays published at Counter-Currents, but also allowed me space to expound upon my current work and its relation to the revolutionary… Continue Reading
Two Hippy Psych-ward Loving Commies
Nietzsche would have none of it I regret to inform my devoted popolo that I am temporarily abandoning the proposed paper on Coltrane’s late music and its usefulness for those on the frontlines of the fight against modernity. Although it seems straightforward enough – a quick summation of modern music, its ascending and descending properties,… Continue Reading
Coming Soon: Nietzsche, Physiology, and Transvaluation
Counter-Currents will soon publish the concluding essay to my series with Nick Fiorello on the body and conceptual vitality. The series has been quite positively received, I must say, and was a grueling thrill to research and write. Despite my lead-in to this paper at the end of the last in the series, I left… Continue Reading
Coming Soon: Overcoming the Bourgeois Mind and Body
Having just submitted part three of my series on vitality to Counter-Currents, I have two minutes in which to reflect upon my achievement. Modern men, after all, have a right to reflect honorifically when doing something of so little value, for we really have no right to think of ourselves in genuinely Homeric terms. Still,… Continue Reading
In Honor of Nietzsche’s Birthday
In honor of Nietzsche’s birthday I wrote about Sparta and its transvaluation of decadent Greek values. I also treated myself to a tiny bit of harshness this morning, using my vital energy in a way that promotes a superabundance of strength, health, and vitality. I listened to non-decadent music and ate simple but wholesome food,… Continue Reading
