The Banning of Art and the Real Monuments Men
By David Yorkshire: A few months ago, the usual suspects in Hollywood released yet another of their big-budget World War Two films, where we were treated to another instalment in that great mythology, complete with the post-modern pantheon of demons, the Nazis. I finally managed to see the film a few days ago. It is perhaps interesting, as an aside, that Germans never referred to themselves as Nazis and the term was rather an allied…
The Love that Dare Not Speak its Name
By David Yorkshire: So, the ex-swimmer Ian Thorpe has come out. Apparently, he’s very brave. Well whoop-ee-doo. When I came out, I was told I could lose my job and career in education if I didn’t use a pseudonym. Friends looked around to see if anyone was looking when they talked to me. Members of my family said I shouldn’t get involved in the lifestyle and should steer clear of pride events in case I…
Nationalism and Idiocy
By David Yorkshire: One of the things that has captured my attention recently has been the events in the Ukraine. The reasons why all this has happened are readily evident, of course: the European Union and the USA have joined forces (despite the public facade of mutual animosity) to destabilise the democratically elected Ukrainian government under President Viktor Yanukovych for two main reasons. The first is to install a puppet government so that the Ukraine’s…
Mjolnir Magazine – Now on Sale
By David Yorkshire: Spring is the time of rebirth, of renaissance. Around five hundred years ago, a European-wide Renaissance took shape – a Renaissance in the arts, philosophy, religion and science that sought to renew the High Roman ideal. During this period, great names emerged in the arts – Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Palladio, Wren, Cervantes, Milton – and in science: Copernicus, Galileo, Newton. For around four hundred years, the elitist cultural values behind this renaissance…
Cultural Struggle: What it is and how to win it
By David Yorkshire: The following is a transcript of a speech I gave at a nationalist meeting in the summer of last year. I’m here tonight not to talk about politics, but about something broader and more far-reaching. I’m going to talk about culture, because culture is that which shapes politics and ideas in general, and we are going to look at how this is achieved. Now even the word culture itself has been politicised…
The Elizabethan Theatre: An Arena of Political Incorrectness and a Lesson for our Times
By David Yorkshire: In March of this year, I gave a speech at a National Front meeting on cultural themes. This is a transcript of that speech. I must point out that I am not a member of the National Front or any other political party, but am happy to speak at any nationalist meeting as a nationalist academic as and when I am invited and am able. Therefore, the views given in this speech…
Leftism, the Ethnic Minority Obsession and the Road to Tyranny
By David Yorkshire: One of the seminal texts of left-liberalism is John Stuart Mill’s On Liberty. In it, Mill speaks of what he terms “the tyranny of the majority” within an ostensibly democratic society, whereby minority groups who do not fit within the norms of society established by the majority are oppressed by that majority: “…the majority, or those who succeed in making themselves accepted as the majority: the people, consequently, may desire to oppress…
Introducing Mjolnir
It must be self-evident to all those who consider themselves in some way politically right-wing that the left has achieved cultural hegemony throughout the Occidental world. Virtually every film, every television series, every soap opera, every song, every theatre or radio play, every novel, short story, poem, comic and graphic novel is used to carry and push Marxist and neo-Marxist ideology to ever further extremes. How many songs have you heard that urge our youth…
