Part of the crowd at a Trump 2020 pre-election rally in Nevada. Trump is key to the new White/European Resistance and cannot be dismissed; in fact, he must be embraced wholeheartedly.


Dear Readers,

I'm reposting the article below by Tom Sunic that I just read on the Occidental Observer webzine, because I agree with it so very much. I've known Tom Sunic since 2010 and this is the best I've read from him—likely the only piece I've ever totally agreed with. That is in spite of the fact that Tom and I probably see eye-to-eye on all important issues, but Tom, in my estimation, hasn't wanted to go too far out on a limb lest he lose his academic opportunities. It's always seemed to me that he hedges, if only just a little bit. In this essay, however, he lays it out in plain language, and I applaud him for it. It deserve wide reading. -cy

The Political Theology of White Guilt: Trump as a Threat to the EU's Post-WWII Narrative

The presidential postelection period unfolding now in the US is having a big impact on the political class in Europe. Historically speaking this is nothing new. Every politician in Europe knows that any major political change in the US is bound to have, the day after, an effect on his own decision-making policy and likely determine the time span of his career. This mode of mandatory pro-American mimicry among European politicians has been playing out in full force since 1945.
