Years ago I did a show on what it means to be on the dissident right, but it was long enough ago to revisit the topic. Back when I did the show, hardly anyone used the term so it was a different conversation than today, when lots of people use it. In fact, far too many people recklessly throw around the label. Just because you got booted from your Facebook group for using the N-word does not make you a dissident.
What you see is lots of people who used to claim the label alt-right having stopped using that now discredited term and picking up this new label. Their opinions have not changed and their understanding has not changed. They just needed a new label so they scanned around and found one that had not be ruined yet. In many cases, these people have no coherent politics at all, just grievances.
Labels are important, especially in politics. The words in the label bring meaning and connotation, but the label should have its own definition. The white nationalists are not simply people who are white and patriotic. Hitler was white and a nationalist, but no educated person would call Hitler a white nationalist. The label white nationalist has meaning that transcends the words in the label.
Therein lies the danger with labels. The white nationalists have allowed the bad guys to define the label they use. It was not all their fault, as the bad guys control the organs of cultural production, so they were able to define the label. That said, the many wackos who have been allowed to use the label white nationalist have made it easy for the bad guys to anathematize the term by soaking it with their vitriol.
That is why it is important to control your language. This was one of the many errors made by the alt-right. They never bothered to provide a clear definition of what they meant by an alternative right. This allowed every weirdo and goofball looking for a home to lay claim to the label. If they had put some effort into defining their labels and controlling who used it, they would have avoided the weirdo problem.
That is the gist of the show this week. What it means to be a dissident in this time and place, as well as what it means to be dissident right. I have also sprinkled in some of the things I talked about at AmRen, so the people who were there will recognize some of the things at the end. This is a topic that could probably be made into some useful posts down the road.

Sinema cuts deal with Schumer to retain her committee assignments:
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/sinema-keep-committee-assignments-after-leaving-democratic-party-schumer
Same thing Lieberman did when he ran and won as an independent. This of course makes one suspicious as to just how “IND” Sinema will be. Imagine a committee split approximately 50/50 Dem/Rep and Sinema as one of the members. If she were a loose canon, she could block bills from leaving Committee by siding with the Rep’s.
I don’t want to be racially coerced, nor sexually coerced. Their attack is now strongly two pronged. As a white man living in Tampa I wonder how any dissident movement grows here. Most of the city these days, outside of the cloistered white liberal pride flag flying enclaves, does not speak English. It is definitely a place where a non-liberal straight white man married to a straight white woman with straight white kids is an anomaly. The other side of the coin around here is the Confederate flag flying redneck. There is no middle ground, at least in this city,… Read more »
At this point, Florida is much more closely tied to the Caribbean and Latin America than it is to Heritage America.
depends which part you are talking about.
The villages?
Filler filler filler
Unexpected – but its possible that the white liberal pride flag flying genetic line has a higher probability of staying white long term than the confederate flag flyer who cant afford private school.
Being a redneck isnt the same as being a dissident, which is a mistake that many right wingers make. Rednecks are low iq and a product of their environment. I like rednecks but its not a viable long term dissident strategy. When we gain control, the rednecks will be permitted to stay white. But they are never going to control anything or bring about real political change.
@Z Man – A personal note, off topic.
When I wrote this analytic post on my blog today, I had you at the back of my mind; as someone who I hoped might, at some point, come around to a recognition that 1. there is a System, 2. it is purposive, and 3. that purpose is evil:
charltonteaching.blogspot.com/2022/12/how-culpable-is-ignorance-aka-accepting.html
Bruce and other commenters, if you had only a short paragraph to persuade someone that there is “a System” what would you say? (I did read your article but want something pithier.) I would point out that: • all of the media, including entertainment, is owned by a very small number of very similar people with similar beliefs that are at odds with the beliefs of most heritage Americans • there are topics upon which both parties agree and prohibit discussion, like the refusal to enforce our borders, the unconditional protection/funding of Israel as an ethnic state, and the refusal… Read more »
it seems that for a dissident movement to be successful, it has to reflect widespread discontent amongst the bulk of the population. the latter providing the “sea” for the revolutionary “fish” to swim in. and isn’t that what a dissident movement is, a pre-revolutionary stage? the globalist leadership world wide is well along the process of alienating huge swaths of their populations, so dissident movements simply need to gauge the mood of the normies in order to time their “emergence”. in the meantime, make plans…
If the thing emerges, be prepared/worthy to join it.
If the other thing happens instead, as seems much more likely…
“Each one teach one” is the saying, right? We all know someone who’d be improved by some education.
Moore NC argues that it may have emerged. The feds certainly seem twitchy about the affair.
Amazing how a person, or a few,(who knows really), can throw sand in the gears.
I got dibs on the Appalachian republic. Or state/country of Franklin.
Of course it will transition gradually into a republic. We will need a strong man initially. I got dips on that to.
Did I mention my name is Franklin?
This is a very sharp podcast. You take these thoughts to a conclusion, and what you get is an end to democracy. It’s obvious at present that voting is a cover for an oligarchy, a managerial elite that uses leftism as a wrecking bar. What comes next, if democracy ends? If we get a Caesar, will it be one of us? If we get a government of elites, does anyone think they will represent us faithfully? The present system, an aggressive globohomo empire, has to end, and realism has to supplant it. And if wishes were horses, political beggars would… Read more »
what comes next depends how competent it is. you won’t keep a continent sized nation in one piece if you can’t keep the lights on, and food in the stores. the current leadership can’t even keep a small sized city going. so they will be replaced across the country, as the latter disaggregates. seems like natural barriers like rivers and mountains will be the new boundaries of autonomous regions.
My problem with anti-semites and anti-semitism is that it’s a losers ideology for losers to deny reality and responsibility.
The best spin from the anti-semites perspective is that they tricked us into… which is just a backwards way of saying we’re stupid, losers, victims.
Stop feeling sorry for yourself and go make something of your life.
Yes, a lot of people who bang on about the tribe are losers.
But what about the truth? For example, they did trick us into much of this.
Derb used to dismiss these questions by saying something like, “If 2% of the population can subdue the rest then the rest deserve it.”
My reply, “Okay, sure. But what do we do now?”
it’s possible to be down on the tribe without making it into a monomania.
My reply, “Okay, sure. But what do we do now?” Ignore them. Build your own success. Have a large family Remain loyal to your own tribe. Trick them. All of those will work. What does ‘t work is is banging on about them. And wallowing in self pity. I’ll take it a step further and say that A-S is a subset of a larger problem of victim mongering that’s wide spread and super destructive among white Americans. Just about everyone wants to be some kind of victim and act like a loser of something. Thats a path to social status… Read more »
“Bake the cake, bigot.”
“Use the preferred pronouns or lose your job.”
Complain about CRT or trannies in your kids’ school and be labelled a domestic terrorist by the Attorney General.
Few people can “ignore” forces so much more powerful. Systematic problems require more than a little “can do” attitude from some plucky individualists.
Bake they cake:
I’d love to but you see I’m booked solid for the next year so I can’t.
Sure I’ll do it. My fee is $5,000 paid up front – non refundable. No hard feelings if that doesn’t work for you.
When you start looking for crypto-Jews seriously it’s more like 20% of the population and the majority of white urban dwellers. Demographic numbers for religions are notoriously faked.
They only put forward the big nosed types as the open Jews when such a thing is necessary, though every race has people with big noses and they aren’t particularly common. Think about that.
I agree with the comments on this thread and the comment. The bottom line is that we were disadvantaged by a couple of things. We can whine and pout and blame, but it is what losers do. We need to look at what went wrong and isn’t working and fix it – at the individual and family level and then at a people level. That isn’t to say the tribe isn’t playing for its own advantage. We got caught off guard and were the only people who played along with the melting pot, colorblind society when every other ethnic group… Read more »
As other long-suffering members here will attest, I’m a fanboy of Nietzsche. Applied (somewhat) to today’s first topic: Words should be important, but they change meaning with time and even worse, mean often dramatically different things to different folk. Nietzsche looked with a skeptical eye upon the philosopher seeking The Truth. Is he not manipulated by subconscious instincts that seek him to uphold a certain world-view? For instance, rather than read Kant and try to understand his argument and decide whether it was correct or fallacious, instead Nietzsche would have us explore what instincts might motivate Kant to act a… Read more »
Evolution is not a real thing.
It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.
A comment awaiting moderation that I just wrote on Sailer’s “Breed Does Exist” post: Breeds do exist, but posts like this are not the way to prove it. You cannot just say “Aha, their genes are different, therefore they are different!” as if genes were the mediators of ontological truth. This is an unmotivated conclusion. Nucleic acids are physical things. They are part of the body. They are just as physical as the bones and the hair and the shape of the snout, or any other trait you might qualify as a breed characteristic. And we already know that breeds… Read more »
Who cares? You’ve acknowledged that dog breeds exist, in part due to humans separating one group of dogs from all other dogs. When I say that, “evolution explains the differences between the races,” I am saying something similar to the dog breed example.
Why do you feel motivated to proclaim on an HBD-adjacent blog that evolution isn’t a real thing? Get to the point, please.
“You cannot just say “Aha, their genes are different, therefore they are different!” as if genes were the mediators of ontological truth. This is an unmotivated conclusion.”
Genes on the Y chromosome are different from those on the X, yes? That is why I am different from my sister, an ontological truth.
That you differ from your sister is true, but your differing genes are a consequence of that, not a cause of it.
So what?
What’s your ultimate point. That humans have deviated from some idealized form?
Whose ideal? And anyway so what?
Reality is. However a condition was arrived at is largely irrelevant.
Get back to me when you have a herd of sheep that need herding. “grotesques”. Nature subverted? Humans are part of nature. The first man that put down a wolf for biting a child led to dogs. Who’s to say that’s not nature? Did give you an upvote for making me think.
Did he pull that one again? Biology is real, evolution is real? I gave up after 10 min.
Evolution is impossible. Something can’t come from nothing.
Mother Nature:
“Work with me.
If you fight me you will lose.
Water will wet you & fire will burn you.
HBD is as real as genes.
Wishes are not horses and pigs have no wings.
Nature to be commanded, must first be obeyed.”
The frequent, uncritical usage of the immensely loaded anti-White / anti-Christian / dissent-silencing epithet “anti-$emite$” in this (and recent) podcast(s), is disappointing, if not indeed outright disquieting. The full rhetorical utility of this slur is repeatedly employed in this episode as well, lumping all opposition to world Giuisch hegemony (please excuse this and other algorithm-skirting spelling choices) into the discrediting basket of irrational cranks who “just don’t like Giuisch people very much.” Even the Jacobins and the Bolsheviks get a fairer and more nuanced reiteration of their supposed motives in this selfsame episode! That there would be disappointment in encountering… Read more »
One can have antipathy for the Christmas season for what it’s become.
This comment is a good example of why anti-Semites fall outside the dissident camp. His first sentence is a lie, but not a deliberate one. Like all anti-Semites, he only hears that which confirms his beliefs. He did not hear the long bits on the moral components of the term and how the leading anti-Semites insist on using the term to describe themselves. That was all just noise to him, like Charlie Brown’s teacher. Of course, like everyone else in that cult, he assumes that anyone with whom he disagrees or those who disagree with him are either “secret Jews”… Read more »
It’s weird that anti-semites see the term as an insult. You’d think they’d embrace it since it’s so central to their world view.
Just more self loathing, or something.
Let me carve a middle path here. I 100% get your hesitation to go ‘all-in’ with the JQ being the answer to everything. Conversely, you simply cannot, if you are being intellectually honest ignore their outsized impact on several critical cogs of the machine that runs civilization. I see the problem in this way. The ‘Anti-Semites’ (and this is where Rod F., the OP, is correct VERY loaded term) are not unlike people interested in UFOs or Near Death Experiences. There are some legitimate questions based on a bit of strong evidence, and lots of anecdotal evidence that we should… Read more »
If you are going to call people antisemites, then own the term racist. No normie out there would not identify you as such.
The term Anti Semite is no different than the term racist, a term you flame is made up! It is really quite remarkable that you are clinging to this dumb term, antisemite, its really annoying.
You are basically saying you can’t notice, at this point how are you different than Fox News, who noticed Muslims?
Are you drunk? On drugs? You are not making any sense here. The TRS/NJP people embrace both the concept of antisemitism and the word anti-Semite. Why are you offended by me using their preferred label?
The bigger problem of anti-semitism is that it maintains a worldview in which goblins are the central figures, they end up being the great movers of history since to the anti-semite every event is the consequence of some plot or scheme hatched deep within their warrens. Considering the most offensive aspect of Judaism is the degree to which it places them at the center of the universe, it’s silly to accede to that frame.
I suggest you do not really understand the implications of placing (((themselves)))at the center. What mischief cannot be done when this belief, mixed with horrific talmudic teachings, is practiced? And for the record, I don’t necessarily believe the global cabal that runs the world is purely Them. I really do not think most people know much about what J00s actually study and believe, and you have to dig a but to find true talmudic beliefs – their sacred texts. It is quite horrifying when you do. And it does derive from Chosen people status. How much is then implemented is… Read more »
I never said that they don’t have nasty beliefs that come from their self-perception as the only real human beings in the world. My point was that gentiles shouldn’t let themselves get sucked into that mindset, whether it be pro or anti.
The annoying part of Christianity is that we get stuck with the Old Testament hanging on like a dingleberry, which places the goblins at the center of the world.
I like the “history of the movement/ how we got here” kind of podcasts, great one today. Do more of this. But I find it a bit unfulfilling when you don’t give a vision of what the future could look like. I know, I know..if you get the people right that all takes care of its self. But all I have is my dreams.
The fat, content and demented Whites staring at a TV and believing it…piss me off more than the demonicjews.. If a fuckin genocide, right before your eyes, dose’nt wake you up…you probably deserve to die.
“”That said, the many wackos who have been allowed to use the label white nationalist have made it easy for the bad guys to anathematize the term by soaking it with their vitriol.“” Allow??? As if anyone has any control over who uses the term. For the “dissident right”, the term will continue to be used by a wider circle until Ben Shapiro and Sean Hannity decide they need to start grifting off of it. Finally a shooter will use the the term “dissident” in his manisfesto and all the guilt-ridden, week-kneed “dissidents” will disavow the entire movement and go… Read more »
Very well said.
Great podcast! Much needed: if we’re not all meaning the same thing when we use a particular word or phrase, misunderstanding is guaranteed. > And grounding dissident politics and the dissident worldview in biological reality seems like a failsafe strategy. People can argue endlessly about subjective questions of morality; but if we ground our arguments about human nature and human behavior in known scientific fact— in what science has revealed, and is continually revealing, regarding human biodiversity, the genetic foundation of all human traits, and the intimate reciprocal connection between genetics and culture— then our discussions will remain on the… Read more »
People don’t respond to facts. The small percentage who already do are all on this side anyway. How have all the facts about a myriad of crime, IQ, sex difference, basic biology issues even etc been used to reject a stupid law or push a positive policy. Not a single one. They are irrelevant to almost any societal level discussion as the golobohome shows every single day. The control of the megaphones and the ubiquity of repeated messages are what count. 90% of people are NPCs and that is what must be used as a foundation of strategy, as they… Read more »
trumpton: Fully agree.
trumpton: “The control of the megaphones and the ubiquity of repeated messages are what count. 90% of people are NPCs and that is what must be used as a foundation of strategy, as they do with great effect.” Social Proof >>>>>>>>>>> Any Possibly Imaginable Dialectic There was a sanhedrin of the Frankfurt School, I seem to recall either Irving Kristol, or Norman Podhoretz, back circa maybe 1955-ish, who was urging that such an approach be adopted by the AJC: The seeding & propagating & nurturing & growing of a prevailing social milieu in White Amurrikkkuh, within which it would become… Read more »
What whites have forgotten is that merely existing is justification enough.
Because they are guilt ridden morons.
As Z repeats often, however, moral arguments are more powerful than factual ones. It is nice, of course, that the truth is on our side. However, if we cannot couch the truth in vivid arguments that stir the imagination and the emotions, it won’t matter a dam’.
I would argue that hewing closely to the factual truth is a moral virtue. Conversely, propagating untruths is immoral. One might convince the NPCs that fire doesn’t burn. Whereupon they immolate themselves. Go read some of the regret stories regarding neo-vaginas. Horrific stuff. Can’t believe a physician would subject anyone to this mutilation (in clear violation of the Hippocratic oath, I will add). Regarding the anti-semitisms; I was skeptical of the Covid response. Labeling my core value as anti-vaxxer isn’t fair. I value the truth, however impolitic it may be. I guess I’m a dissident because I dissent from the… Read more »
I did not attack the NJP. Please stop lying. I am losing my patience with these deliberate attempt to stir up drama where none exists.
For full disclosure, I’m not a NJP guy. I also abhor drama. But I’m down with spirited arguments. This is, after all a discussion about where this movement (or whatever it is) might go, not about who’s doing coke in the bathroom. I’ll concede that I may have read too much between the lines. However you do have a body of work to draw upon. “thezman on November 1, 2021 at 9:53 am said: Enoch is not a dissident. He is an anti-Semite, which can maybe be wedged into the Revanchist Right, but it is a stretch.“ I hope you… Read more »
Am I lying? I’ll lay off the cat cracks if you don’t immediately ban me.
Yes, an excellent point; a variation is the saying [by ???] that “Perception is reality.” Of course the statement on its face is untrue, but it IS true that on the average, a person or a group will be guided by what they believe to be true.
I should have included in today’s Nietzsche dissertation which appears elsewhere
I don’t believe it is possible to keep any label we could use clean and unassociated with freaks and weirdos. Look at the LGBT movement. In the 80s and 90s all kinds of degenerates and freaks attached themselves to that label including NAMBLA. But their buddies in the press kept these people at bay and off the main stage. NAMBLA (National Man-Boy Love Association), the most well known example, would show up at pride parades with big banners announcing their perverted debauchery along with LGBT and rainbow flags. But not one picture of these NAMBLA signs at pride parades ever… Read more »
So many black pills this week. Evil seems to be claiming small victory after small victory. Griner is the best of us, American Girl Doll preaches the gospel of gender identity, and globohomo rolls on.
People aren’t waking up, they aren’t getting fed up. I cannot understand.
We will be a much smaller contingent before this is over, if it ever is.
Alas
Livestock never wake up.
They are livestock their entire life.
Cows don’t suddenly realize they can get in the tractor standing in the field and drive off.
Most dissidents, or white nationalists, or whatever we are calling ourselves, are ex normiecons who somehow got redpilled along the way. I think. Haven’t taken survey. People aren’t cattle, notwithstanding how much Mr. Schwab wants them to be. Not all of them anyway.
There’s that meme somewhere of the guy who is smart enough to see through globohomo’s propaganda, and the guy who is dumb enough that the propaganda never affected him in the first place, and then the midwit, who falls for it every time.
This is the most important thing dissidents need to figure out. 90% of the population are witless cattle and trying to use them is pointless unless you control the media and can tell them that actually creating a new Pale of Settlement and relegating goblins to potato farming is Who We Are™.
That is not true. There is a white pill here. I have seen people in the Warrior community very upset about it. Shawn Ryan and others are very upset about this.
I say, keep it up GAE. Keep exchanging arms dealers for nation hating black entertainers who support organizations of trained Marxists who rioted and looted and burned our cities and are rabidly anti-American and anti-white.
Keep it up. A lot of warriors are waking up to see what and who they in fact fought for. Be very happy about this Mr. C.
What is the “warrior” community?
I can only assume, Golden State fans.
Veterans and members of the US military.
Draymond (sp?) Green be happy as f*** ’bout Grime’s being released.
Over in Britain, opposition to BLM or taking a knee is always explained by referring to them as Marxists – think your Paul Joseph Watson types. Arguing like this is no different than going down the NAXALT path; the implication being that the colored invasion of our lands is acceptable so long as it’s the “right ones”.
No. Stop with that rhetorical sop to the left. Firstly, the left isn’t bothered by the Marxist label. Secondly, they have to go back.
Yeah. I always thought the pedo thing was a bridge too far and that the public would fight it. I thought if there was ONE thing that could get the 2nd amendment guys to utilize their rights, it would be their kids. Man, how wrong I was. Just imagine going back in time even a single generation and telling them all about the child perversions going on today and so many mothers backing it all. They would have had you committed as an insane person. We won’t even defend our children. Are we even worth preserving?
Mr C,
Your post reminded me of a portion of Joe Brandon’s Brittney Griner press release yesterday. He said,
Brittney “represents the best America – the best about America- just across the board, everything about her.”
I don’t have a drink strong enough to wash that black pill down. I guess I’ll just go into my default Gen X mode; eat the pain, and go to bed early.
Un-ironically, Merry Christmas, everyone.
And there’s still people who think he’s just a meat puppet for the wokerati rather than an active leader of it
I’m blackpilled about most things but this is wrong. The number of people who have been redpilled has exploded. It likely is around ten percent, and that may be ceiling, but it was infinitely smaller just six or seven years ago.
The Griner prison swap was a publicity stunt of course. The Inner Party can trumpet how much they uphold Woke values. Surely any compassionate human being, no doubt a Progressive, would know that in the scale of things, a tall Negress athlete who got busted for trying to smuggle recreational drugs is more “valuable” than a convicted arms dealer. People around the world with more traditional, conservative values might draw a different conclusion: that in the global game of Chess, the US’s player effectively just swapped a pawn for a black queen as it were. 🙂
One thing we should be damn clear about:
When it comes to “getting the people right,” White Liberals are not the right people. Ever. Period.
Any “shared cultural heritage” we may have with them simply contains the seed of their unborn suicidal desire, a death they wish to drag us down with them into.
Return, you are correct that some whites must be excluded.
However, I believe that many liberals are just brainwashed by the hegemony of the media’s narrative. They like to virtue signal, which is a consequence of our evolutionary inheritance of moral communities, but they can be just as easily brainwashed with our beliefs.
Further, I believe that if we begin demanding freedom of association, the whites who cannot be reprogrammed will make themselves known and those are the irredeemable ones.
As Milgram’s experiment showed clearly, humans respond to perceived authority for instruction.
Without something that looks like authority to normies, there is no way to override the messaging.
Without taking over institutions, the most likely bet is creating an alternative media and distribution mechanism, as the screen is the most effective conditioning device and highest authority people have been tied to as an aggregate authority vector.
Everything flows from that.
“Without taking over institutions, the most likely bet is creating an alternative media and distribution mechanism”
Obviously you are not alone in this line of thinking. Every attempt to establish actual media and information dissemination is met with brute force. Rightly or wrongly, it is feared.
The lessons of modern psychology are pretty devastating to both traditional religion and woke egalitarianism. Probably the biggest psychological Red Pill for dissidents from a Civnat Conservative background (most of us) is that waiting for the American people (or any people) to “wake up” is like waiting for Jesus to return riding Santa’s sleigh pulled by 8 tiny Easter bunnies. The average person everywhere (and of EVERY race, including Whites) is practically a video game NPC. We think it used to be different because the NPCs used to be programmed with some of the stuff we’ve arrived at through reason… Read more »
GREAT comment, particularly here: “My guess is that a lot of the changes we want (and many we don’t) will eventually come about because the masses aren’t going to have the stomach for violence and hardship in defense of the system anymore than they do in the name of rebellion against it. This means that just being in the right spot and having at least *some* notion of a plan will eventually translate into real power. In addition, those alternative media and especially alternative means of producing real world things will become ever more important.” We may be at the… Read more »
Ancient Wisdom In the same motif as the Michigan Governor Kidnapping Plot and the Jan 6th Insurrection, the German Federal Government recently marshaled 3,000 LEOs to nab two dozen “coup plotters.” The Stasi is everywhere and their ability manufacture, dupe, and entrap ordinary people into being portrayed as terrorists is picking up steam. This is their main mission now; to lure dissidents into groupings, exploit their anger at the Crazy, and then set them up of persecution. They do this for many reasons. One is that it sure beats real crime fighting, which involves actual work and potential danger. Two… Read more »
I don’t know what to make of the alleged American domestic attacks on substations, but those also reek of a psyop.
Yes, false flag OPs. Ditto for the “accidents” that have taken down various food processing related businesses. It’s all part of building the mass insurrection narrative up into a justification for going full totalitarian. And they are banking on this narrative being instrumental in keeping the LEOs on-side. The rabbit hole goes very deep indeed.
The Seattle Times published an article about the substation attacks. The author quoted a Daily Kos writer’s speculations about the culprits.
“With utilities releasing few details on the Northwest attacks it is difficult to assess who is responsible and their motivation, said David Neiwert, a Washington state-based senior staff writer for the Daily Kos and author of ‘Alt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right in the Age of Trump.'”
The Daily Kos. Jaysus wept.
Jack: I’ve read all sorts of out-there theories about who did what and why re substations. While I don’t ignore the likelihood of fedgov involvement for political purposes, it’s really not my main focus. First, I noticed this comment at one blog: “I work making the casings for the big transformers. The sidewalls are generally 10 mm steel plate. The radiators are usually only 1.2 mm thick. Shoot a radiator and the oil will run out just the same, causing overheating. Not suggesting you do so, of course.” Then I did some reading about power stations in general. Then I… Read more »
Thanks for the additional information, 3g. The over-the-top reaction tends to bolster the idea that either a state actor outright did these things or is having it done, I think. As for mental preparation, absolutely. Even under the best case scenario we are about to enter a long period of deprivation. That requires a mental toughness most people have lost.
Its the same strategy as the apparent now forgotten blowing up pipelines, just on a smaller scale.
Maybe people are not old enough to remember the gladio “strategy of tension” used across Europe in the 60s – 80s to bring in the foundations of the control state?
“now forgotten blowing up pipelines”
The ability to memoryhole is as impressive as the ability to propagandize, or implant what you call “mind worms.” Major events and upheavals are swept from the memory now in a matter of weeks if not days.
Thanks. Good analysis and research. You are highly unusual.
Shows the focus does it not.
3000 police for 25 people most of who are in their 60s and 1 gun.

Another important definition being overlooked:
“Britney” Griner was held in a men’s prison in Russia.
Re definitions, Sundance at Conservative Treehouse dropped the most important political revelation I’ve ever seen. It’s something everybody kind of knew, but nobody ever reaĺly looked twice. This: The official Parties, the actual Republican and Democrat National Committees, are corporations. ***Elected officials represent the interests of…the corporation.*** Not the “will of the people.” They do what is best for the corporation, serving their market of donors. The entire campaign industry, media, voting, elections, etc., is a marketing campaign for their primary revenue streams-donors, government, and grift- and the board of director’s interests. So…voting? Local possibilities, and those are a slim… Read more »
There are lot of “dissidents” in today’s West. These are called normal White men. The West as it is today offers nothing for them. They will never be hired to any job of any importance and small and independent businesses are being closed down in favor of big semi-monopolies. They will never, ever be leaders, as those positions are reserved for the “DEI or DIE!” people. Relationships with women are fraught and uncomfortable as White women are the natural and eternal enemy of ordinary White men. This is why you see White guy after White guy on Youtube complaining in… Read more »
There is much of value and truth in what you say. I like the forward thrust of a meaningful vision for meaningful action. I would caution against the blanket white women are all against us posture. That mentality will only make a man, of any race, unattractive to women. White men need to form and forge alliances. We also need to acknowledge the preferences to shun us. However, we do live in a world where technical prowess is essential. Our task is to be even better and even more technical and roles in deeply technical areas will be open to… Read more »
Hear, hear, gentlemen!
Let our actions define us, our natural nobility. To be, is to be a dissident. The rest is bullsh*t.
Your beta male cuckiness is wafting through yet again Whiskey. I am not questioning that White women are the absolute worst right now but you paint them as our eternal enemies and that is patently false. Women, ALL women, are empty vessels by and large. Their anatomy looks the way it does for a reason it is quite reflective of their true spirit and nature. They are waiting to be filled. Secondary to that, they are herding animals because a million years of genetics decrees it as such. Their best chance for survival and passing their genes forward comes from… Read more »
Entrepreneurship is still very much a white male phenomena. Unfortunately once a white genius creates a business that becomes successful and goes public, they hire a board of advisors who complain about a lack of diversity. So they appoint Indians i.e. the brown asians who can somewhat follow a system and while still looking brown.
[…] ZMan’s weekly podcast. Highly recommended. […]
Since I no longer comment at Unz and consider this a dissident right issue, I will vent my spleen here. All the ostensibly pro-White, pro-heritage-American groups are pushing a half Hindu as a White standard bearer and hero. Amren, Vdare, Counter Currents, etc. are all pushing Neil Kumar as some sort of authentic ‘son of the South’ who champions White people and history and culture. How this is any different from the conservatards who idolize Thomas Sowell or Clarence Thomas escapes me. All those magic black and magic brown political candidates celebrated by Gayway Pundit and friends . . .… Read more »
“How this is any different from the conservatards who idolize Thomas Sowell or Clarence Thomas escapes me.”
It is grotesque and if anything simultaneously more repellent and laughable than CivNattery.
There can never be too many of us or we wouldn’t be dissidents. Organizing around that label is embracing failure. At least that was how pre clown world definitions used to work, in the Before Times.
White nationalism means the power and water are on. This is the definition I use all the time, especially in conversation with baizuo/cloud persons.
I agree with your point on dissident being de facto failure. Some may cite Luther’s 95 theses as a dissent that led to revolution. However, this would be fallacious, for the 95 theses was popular because it appealed to many people already IN POWER. The Reformation, already brewing and popular in spots, appealed to regional powers as a tool to usurp a competitor. In this unilateral/ hegemonic world, the dissident will not find a patron, unlike Luther.
Right, why no patronage? It’s not like the potential base of power isn’t huge, and ambitious people like power. Tptb must police themselves hard. Obviously, given what they’ve done to Trump. Must be hellish in those circles. A lot worse than what us dirts experience.
I would suggest that they don’t police themselves so hard – they police their borders. In the same way, a gated community has probably more illegal activity than a Philadelphia crack alley (Paul P. and hammertime – probably a ton of drugs there). The point is the exclusion that allows them to operate freely. They keep the outsiders away and submissive.
A lot of it seems to be blackmail material for court intrigue. Or trauma to produce people capable of doing hard things.
It could be a big party, certainly looks that way from the outside. I’m thinking along the lines of what power and responsibility do to a group over time, and I’d guess it drives them mad.
You touch on an interesting idea that periodically appears here. I’ll recount it, perhaps imperfectly: In most revolutions it’s not the peons who overthrow the old regime. It is a faction in the existing power structure. I suspect that in nearly any form of government, there are always two or more factions vying for power. Most of the time it’s an uneasy alliance But if things get too far to one extreme, power may be seized from an unexpected quarter. For all its value, I think Orwell’s depiction of the Inner Party as being monolithic is fantasy. Even a passing… Read more »
“White nationalism means the power and water are on.”
*CHEERS, APPLAUSE*
Yes, seconded. That’s it, too.
I’d sub whiteness for white nationalism, but that’s a semantic distinction. The point still stands incontrovertably.
There’s nothing wrong with the word dissident. At bare minimum, it capitalizes on the love for the plucky underdog, which has been part of America’s mental world for as long as anybody can remember. Hell, the Left, which won the culture war as surely as the Globetrotters defeated the Generals, always portrayed itself–with some degree of accuracy, early on–as a collection of beleaguered, antiestablishment dissenters. Such an appellation obviously did that movement no harm.
It’s more than incredible how the left’s antiestablishment resistance mindset persists even unto this day. I wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t witness it with my own eyes in individuals who believe we are living in a right wing dystopia. One of the rare times I am truly speechless.
Agreed. Just more evidence that Leftists are, by and large, fundamentally irrational.
Today’s Power Hour has been overdue. I appreciate the detailed explanation of the term Dissident Right and agree that the premises of the West’s system are deeply flawed. Zman spent some time talking about the TRS guys who have formed the National Justice Party, pointing out that they’re anti-semites. He also said they have no clue what to do after the Semites are gone and that there’s no dissent from anything other than they don’t like Jewish people and that they’re not looking at the current system we have and saying these are fundamentally flawed, and that their starting point… Read more »
I recently had a very bad mouse problem that I was obsessed with solving. Many people helpfully offered advice. Nobody ever asked me what my plan was for *after* the mice were gone.
Anyone still using such thought crime stopping language in an era when whites are being genocided and replaced in their own homelands by a coalition of aliens is either a shill, a gatekeeper or a gullible retard trapped in the maze of their media conditioning as the all the exists appear to be covered by bad words that their mind worms have placed there.
Its no different than the NPCs calling others racist as they are eradicated and their history obliterated, or degenerates squawking homophobe as they sodomize your children.
I will go out on a limb at say that for a vision let’s do something like Orban in Hungary. Make it attractive for women to have the option of staying home and make our platform centered around creating a world where one income can support a family again. By doing that we attract the right kind of people to our cause and we don’t get a negative label from the start tied to race or ethnicity issues. We can address those issues naturally bring those issues along as we grow but focus on something that people want. Independence and… Read more »
Let me clarify one thing. I don’t believe women should take over leadership roles in politics.
Men should lead, but we must have a movement where women get something out of it and see something they want.
A healthy income for their husband and safety for their children are two powerful forces.
And safety for children bring us into the race issue naturally without forcing it.
G, I’m with you although I have lost some faith that many women will respond to support for staying home and taking care of their kids.
With regard to the relationship between men and women, I have been recently impressed by two observations: First, how much men over 30 long for a single good woman to support and protect. Second, how overjoyed women are to abandon their traditional role and the family. Oh, and they really love abortion. Most everything I was told about the nature of women is false.
The serpent knew who to work. What I don’t understand is why men, knowing this, still simp. I might understand it if family was still a given, but I’ll say it: sex isn’t THAT good. Not with someone who hates and torments you.
Twenty years ago, both sides would aggressively spelled out how their policies would help their families. Of course, they never did, as more and more parents need two incomes and schools become more in shambles with every new dollar spent on them. Now both sides rarely talk explicitly about families, and the shocking reality of our demographics shows why. Stable families are becoming more rare, with more and more foregoing marriage altogether, and fertility is cratering at a shocking speed. Intact families are now hopelessly outnumbered by barren women and unattached men. What this means for future political policy under… Read more »
And factor in the possibility that the Clot Shot has negatively impacted fertility, likely very deliberately, I may add. Evil incarnate.
In most of America a family can live about as well on one income today as they could in the 1950s. The catch is you have to have the same standard of living as a 1950s family.
There are a handful of high cost metros where this probably isn’t possible
Not sure why all the down votes here. There is some truth in this observation. Those of us still around from the 50’s can attest to the lifestyle of the average Joe. It was way below what it is today. I now live in a house with wife that is at least 3x’s larger than the type I grew up in as a child. We had one car, no garage, no dinning room, one bathroom, etc. I now have three cars—all garaged, 3 bathrooms and more bedrooms than ever could be considered needed. Of course, all the maintenance and support… Read more »
If I itemized it I would prove my point. But I don’t care that much. Either way, it’s true.
I’m broadly speaking in the same bucket: single male living in a 4-BR home. Often overlooked is the “why” this might be. There are multiple factors of course. But one that is never discussed in polite company is that those smaller one-bath homes from 1950 still exist many places. But what has changed dramatically is the type of people that made those healthy communities. And a big part of that secret is that the communities had powers to keep out the undesirables, a power that has been largely lost decades ago. 🙁
Really? The median income in the US is $37.5K. The average is $58K. I know there are more/less expensive places to live, but most people still need to be able to commute to their jobs which is a limiting factor. If you’re already living paycheck-to-paycheck or on a fixed income in a time of rampant inflation it’s hard to save up to move elsewhere. Throw a few million “immigrants” into the mix each year and it becomes even harder.
This becomes rather an economic issue. Is it possible to create an economy within the globalized colossus where single-income families are viable? Perhaps so. However, for this to work I think the sort of people populating this economy would have to be innately far less materialistic than the vast majority of people who currently dwell in the West. Of course, self-selection might just produce that very outcome.
I hope Jared releases the speech. Going to Amren is off the cards for most people.
Alt-Right was poisoned from day one by being associated with a media clown like Richard Spencer. He loved nothing more than donning the devil costume and getting on TV and acting like an ass. A lot of stuff came out from Kessler, who was a naive’ goofball IMHO, about Spenser and his deliberately wiping his stink on everyone involved in the dumb “UTR rally” through subpoenas of their phones.
One of the reasons I do not count myself a dissident – even though I largely agree with them, and can see their side when we disagree – is that we will never have ‘the right people’. Possibly 20% of the people out there will have the wherewithal to follow your logic that explains where you are and why. Any system you come up with will have to take that into account. There is nothing wrong with the system. It has built in checks and balances, it spells out crime and punishment. These guys are stealing elections and stabbing heritage… Read more »
The current regime rests almost wholly on our material prosperity, once the lights start flickering they best, as Z says, start booking one way tickets out of the country.
“In hell, there will be nothing but law…and due process will be strictly observed.”
Glen Your conclusion is spot on. I think the treatment of LEOs and their resulting attitude due to said treatment, will allow dirt folk to handle business themselves. Once criminal elements realize that the system will be indifferent, actions and attitudes will slowly change. I can’t remember where I saw it, but I recall a post that went something like this; 1 Act alone 2 Tell NO ONE, EVER 3 You may feel guilty, but it will pass There was more, but I think what is there is enough. And as Robert Barnes has opined; Never in writing, always in… Read more »
The old organized crime saying went something like,
“Never write something down when you can speak.”
“Never speak when you can nod.”
“Never nod when you can look.”
Our elections / Covid tyranny /clown world runs on the precepts of the mafia.
It was corrupt 19th century Boston politician (but I repeat myself) Martin Lomasney: “Never write if you can speak; never speak if you can nod; never nod if you can wink.”
The problem is the whole system is corrupt. The law has been weaponized and the rot is deep. Different areas of rot reinforce the rot in other areas. The system is not going to reform itself. The levers of reform are corrupt. Furthermore, all of the inertia is in the direction of further corruption, not a course correction.
Maybe there is hope if we can arrest and incarcerate the top 20% of the corrupt people, but frankly I don’t know if it would work even if we could pull it off.
What is the place of religion in this discourse?
The podcast didn’t touch upon this theme.
One aspect of this definition of “dissident”/”dissident right” that confuses me is whether it requires activism or whether sole focus on preparation for what comes afterwards would fall under the ambit of the term. I realize the two are not totally mutually exclusive but there seems to be a bright distinction in the sense of facilitating change vs. preparing for it. I believe two things: (a) the system does not work, the system cannot be made to work, and the system is dying naturally (a lot of the recent oppression is a failed attempt to stop this); and (b) nothing… Read more »
IMO, if you keep to Dissident Right beliefs you are a DR, just as if you subscribe to Marxism you’re a commie, and if you hate the white race you’re a Leftist. What you actually do or don’t do with your beliefs is largely irrelevant.
I kind of agree. Belief is the foundation and probably all that matters. The word “dissident” conjures the Soviet versions, who had gravitas and were proactive, hence the reason we know of them. Historical analogies almost always fall short. Outside of taking care of ourselves and ours, it seems there are no organizational/political solutions except locally because the State now is even more totalitarian than was the case in the USSR. It is comprehensive enough not to have to resort to violence routinely on a large scale–that could change in a heartbeat, to be clear–but is all-encompassing. Glasnost would be… Read more »
For every Andrei Sakharov there were 5 million nameless Soviet subjects who supported him in spirit. Those anonymous individuals were not as important as Sakharov, but they were dissidents all the same. We can only hope that for every Jared Taylor there are 5 million silent “Americans” who wish him Godspeed.
your podcast kicks ass, thanks. I’m surprised i don’t hear about you around the NRX “new reactionary” circles
Those goofs need to be thrown into the same trash bin that the alt right’s in…
A large part of it is that Zman has a tendency of goring sacred cows that a large part of the Alt-Right believes in. Thing is, if the Dissident Right is ever to be a political movement, listening to Zman’s critiques are absolutely necessary.
Speaking of dissidents, Z’s crush Kyrsten Sinema just announced she’s leaving the Democrats and becoming an Independent. This is pretty big. The last person to do this was Joe Lieberman I think. Let’s hope she’s not like Joe Lieberman.
She was pushing for amnesty during the last week. I confess that I had some interest and hope for her, but co-sponsoring an amnesty bill makes her anathema.
She wants attention…
…and money…
…lots of money.
You have to admit, the gal knows how to turn a trick.
Some big political website did an interview recently with her where the subject was her describing how she uses her cleavage to get her way with the male Senators. The message of the article was, of course, “You go girl!”
I want patriarchy, modesty, and curtailment of women’s ability to openly flaunt their looks to get resources. (I understand that this behavior is human nature and is not going away but our forefathers were able to limit its encouragement.)
I have to wonder if she is exaggerating on that one. These men have access to a lot of social climbing good looking young women in their 20s. I am guessing it is 90% in her head.
‘90% in her head’ is called “reality” for the modern womyn. That she has the moral righteous position to force that reality on the rest of us is called equality. That equality is a moral pursuit beyond question is called Progress. That Progress is the highest law of the land is called Our Democracy. That the greatest threat to Our Democracy is a White Man who submits only to God’s Truth is called Year Zero of the Permanent Revolution, aka the Current Year. That normie dissident-lite thinks he can unwind the Current Year without giving that ‘reality’ the pimp hand… Read more »
Because nature has given women tremendous power, the law, rightfully, grants them very little.

Scrolling Twitter during my morning dump, it appears that she will continue to caucus with the Dems, but this will underscore her firm stance on not ending the filibuster. The argument there was that she was basically harassed out of the party by Squad & Co.
Also, that this sets her up for an AZ gov run in ’26.

Kirsten is a smart lady. She is ambitious and has a long political history in AZ. Folks did not hear from her nationally until she became Senator, but activists here promoting gun rights knew her well. They’d follow her to the grave I suspect. She was the go to person to introduce gun rights legislation at the State level. Under her, we went from no concealed carry to Constitutional carry. AZ now has perhaps the least onerous gun laws in the nation and she was a big part of this—all while running as a Dem. My bet is that she… Read more »

“Hitler was white and a nationalist, but no educated person would call Hitler a white nationalist.”
Really? It seems like he’s the pure strain archetype WN example for the for the liberally edumacated.
I dunno, if Mr. Hitler were alive in Argentina and he ran for office now, I can only assume that WNs would hitch their wagon to him toot-sweet.
Besides, A.H. was an Aryan identitarian and a nationalist. How could he not be a WN?
White nationalists have no interest in conquest and empire. On the contrary, we are isolationists to the bone. Hitler was a Germanic imperialist who hated non-Germanic whites, particularly Slavs.
Isolationism is geography dependent. If your nation has all the resources it needs and has no threats anywhere near its border, like the USA, then isolationism is obviously the best policy.
It’s different for Germany. Threats all around, accessible and close. Or at least used to be that way, in the pre EU times, and will one day be that way again, after the EU, if Germany still exists at that point.
When I speak of isolation, I don’t mean absolute autarky unless that is possible, which in the vast majority of cases, it won’t be. In other words, I’m not mortally opposed to commerce with other nations. But that’s pretty much where the interchange ends.
Hitler was a German nationalist. He didn’t have a high opinion of the Slavs and wasn’t particularly concerned with their well-being.
Yes, he was a German nationalist. You can even push it a bit further and say he was a Nordic nationalist (Germans, Austrians, Scandinavians). White Nationalism is a US thing. Doesn’t have any meaning in Europe.
Not Nordic but Germanic.
More concerned with Germans,Austrians and the English than the Scandies.
Yeah, I’m thinking the same…however, Whites in Hitler’s thinking were limited to the concept of “Aryans”. In those times, Aryans = Whites. Indeed, Hitler’s race “scholars” were busy tracing Aryans all the way down to India with the NAZI blessings. So from that view, Hitler might not be a WN as we discuss here.
Who’s that in the intro music this week? Very pretty.
Eivor, strongly recommended.
