Zrovna jsem doposlouchal rozhovor Grega Johnsona s Markem Dyalem na rádiu Counter-Currents. Dyalova pouť od samolibého antirasistického skejťáckého pankáče a fanouška Public Enemy, přes studenta černošských studií až k nieztzscheánskému skinheadskému fašistovi je pro mě zároveň fascinující i povědomá.

The Counter-Currents 2017 Fundraiser
Why I Write

Mark Dyal

1,392 words

“Speech that doesn’t commit one to anything, doesn’t stand on its own, doesn’t risk its position, doesn’t cost anything, is not worth very much.” – The Invisible Committee[1]

One of my former colleagues just had the honor of presenting the annual President’s Address to the American Anthropological Association. Her speech, a paean to the power of the “good” anthropologist who battles against the “looming darkness” caused by recent “political disasters,” was hailed as a courageous speaking of truth to power in the darkest days of late-modern life.

Aristokratia III: Hellas
Edited by K. Deva
Manticore, 2015

Having previously devoted previous volumes to Nietzsche and to Evola, for its third incarnation, “Hellas,” Aristokratia seemingly pauses to reflect on itself: what are arête, hoi aristoi and aristokratia?

Homeschooling the Overman

Mark Dyal

Deer Hunt mosaic from Pella, Macedonia, 4th-century BC

1,817 words

I am a writer, who became a teacher, and then again a writer. Now I teach and never write. Writing is the only thing I’ve ever been good enough at that I could legally use to make money; that is, to survive in the bourgeois world. To date my total income from writing is $50.00. It turns out I don’t write for money, but writers never do.

English original here

“Eu caminho entre essas pessoas e mantenho meus olhos abertos; elas se tornaram menores e estão se tornando cada vez menores: mas isso é por causa de seus ensinamentos sobre felicidade e virtude.

Suaves, justos e gentis eles são uns com os outros, como grãos de areia são suaves, justos e gentis uns com os outros”. – Zaratustra

Nietzsche, Physiology, & Transvaluation

Mark Dyal

“I walk among these people and keep my eyes open; they have become smaller and are becoming ever smaller: but this is because of their teaching on happiness and virtue.

Epistemology, Race, & the Bazaar

Matt Parrott

The Archangel Michael weighing the souls of the dead. Detail from Hans Memling’s triptych “The Last Judgment,” 1467–1471, National Museum, Gdańsk, Poland

2,497 words

Alexander Solzhenitsyn once asked, “If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?”

A similar challenge eventually confronts every individual who takes up the cause of the New Right in relation to modernity, as we’re all to varying degrees and in varying manners captivated by the liberal narrative. Read more …

Paganism Without Swords?

Mark Dyal

Detail from Jacques-Louis David’s “Oath of the Horatii,” 1784

3,600 words

“When swords ran every which way like red-stained snakes, our fathers warmed to life; the sun of all peace seemed limp and lackluster to them, but the long peace caused them shame. How they sighed, our fathers, when they saw gleaming bright, dried up swords on the wall! Like them, they thirsted for war. For a sword wants to drink blood and sparkles with desire.” — Friedrich Nietzsche Read more …
