I appear to be slightly at odds with much or some of the traditionalists of the world concerning assessment of or hopefulness for the Trumpening 2.0. Alexander Markovics writes at Geopolitika about the potential of the Trump for America, the old or new nation.

A New American Nationalism?

With Trump’s new team and their ideas, we may witness the end of the liberal-globalist internationalism that sought to impose rainbow liberalism on the world. Instead, a new, populist, and futuristic American nationalism emerges — one that prioritizes U.S. power interests over human rights, democracy, and liberalism.

Its goal is to make America great again, even if it requires transhumanist, futuristic, or neofeudalist concepts.

To say I’m dubious is an understatement, one not helped at all by the cast of clowns surrounding the latest president-select. Still, like everyone, I will wait and see. I might just pay less attention than most.

Courtesy of Geopolitika and an unknown (but greatly appreciated) translator. Διαβάστε στα ελληνικά. I think that’s 4 or 5 languages now, and the essay has quickly become one of my most popular writings to date – if not the most widely read.

Also, I just learned my review of Daria Dugina’s Radical Life is at her dad’s Fourth Political Theory site.

Thank you, my many and great international friends.

This week’s new special column is coming tomorrow. My most recent one regarded a theory about declining GAE demographics:

In Stephen King’s 1983 novel, Pet Sematary, yet another family in another Maine town stumbles across rank evil. In the woods around Ludlow lies an ancient American Indian burial ground. Whatever beast or man goes into the earth there is quickly reanimated in demonic form. To preserve peace, the living residents of the town must soon destroy any cat, boy, or war veteran who so returns as a zombie. What if our Clown World shamans from hell are doing something similar with all kinds of people everywhere within that strange nation-shaped kind of place between Mexico and Canada? It’s just a question and a theory.

Reread the whole thing, now at Geopolitika. And, for the first time ever, I’m also at Katehon. Спасибо вам, мои международные друзья.

I just figured out that Dr. Ironsides’s 2023-24 Christmas fiction was translated into Italian. Una fiction di Tom Ironsides!

So, here once again, is the story:

LA LOCANDA OCCUPATA, LA MANGIATOIA RIDOTTA IN MACERIE, MA UN FUOCO COMUNQUE ACCESO

Perrin Lovett

Una fiction di Tom Ironsides

Sala Vrubel, Hotel Metropol, Mosca, tardo pomeriggio di dicembre…

Tom guardò per un attimo intorno all’ampia sala mentre rifletteva. “Si tratta – ricominciò – in modo triste e ironico, di una rivisitazione invertita o peggiorata di una parte della Storia di Natale originale. Abbiamo alcuni protagonisti simili e circostanze stranamente simili. Il mio impero statunitense, malvagio e morente, sta al posto di Roma. Lui, maledetto, il peggior leader della loro storia malvagia, sta facendo un buon lavoro nel rappresentare Erode. Ma invece di uccidere solo i bambini, uccide tutti i bambini. E tutti gli altri. Duemila anni fa, si dice che Augusto abbia detto: Melior est porcus quam princeps. Ovvero, più o meno, è più sicuro essere un maiale erodiano che un figlio del tiranno. Naturalmente, il nostro imperatore sostituto è un patetico idiota mezzo morto che non riesce nemmeno a camminare e a leccare il gelato allo stesso tempo. Ma forse questo spiega perché l’inutile figlio del nuovo re cliente si nasconde a Miami. Chi lo sa? A rischio di provocare un litigio internazionale, dirò che mi piacerebbe molto staccare la testa del despota con un’ascia spuntata”.

I fan del multipolarismo riuniti si erano rapidamente abituati ai discorsi schietti e apparentemente arrabbiati di Tom quella sera, punteggiati da strane discussioni laterali con e per sé stesso. La maggior parte di loro ridacchiava di cuore all’idea di una giustizia a colpi di spranga, anche se considerava la dolorosa verità che si celava dietro il paragone storico.

…

Read the whole thing, in Italian, at Geopolitika.

I will probably have something new, in English to start, at Geopolitika, soon.

Ciao e grazie, lettori Italiani! Ciao speciale e grazie a Costantino Ceoldo.

Geopolitika, in a fiction-publishing first (and maybe last??? =O ), ran Dr. Ironsides’s Moscow adventures today!

Russia

Perrin Lovett
Tom Ironsides Fiction

Vrubel Hall, the Hotel Metropol, Moscow, a late afternoon in December…

Tom glanced around the wide room for a moment as he thought. ‘It is,’ be began again, ‘in a sad and ironic way, an inverted or worsened retelling of part of the original Christmas Story. We have some similar players and oddly reminiscent circumstances. My evil, dying US empire stands in for Rome. He, damn him, the worst leader in their malicious history, is doing a fine job portraying Herod. But instead of just killing the baby boys, he’s murdering all the children. And everybody else. Two thousand years ago, Augustus was rumored to have said, Melior est porcus quam princeps. That is, kind of, it is safer to be a Herodian pig than a son of the tyrant. Of course, our stand-in emperor is a pathetic, half-dead moron who can’t even walk and lick ice cream at the same time. But maybe this explains why the new client king’s own worthless son is hiding out in Miami. Who knows? At the risk of causing an international row, I will say that I would simply love to hack the despot’s head off with a dull axe.’

The gathered fans of multipolarity had quickly grown accustomed to Tom’s blunt and seemingly angered speech that night, punctuated with odd side discussions with and to himself. Most of them chuckled heartily at the notion of bitted justice even as they considered the painful truth behind the historical comparison.

…

Read the Whole Thing (again?).

In a semi-related note, I’m pleased to see my tandem review of two books by Leonid Savin and Clyde Wilson was house translated into Italian:

Perrin Lovett

Recensioni di ORDO PLURIVERSALIS di Leonid Savin e LOOKING FOR MR. JEFFERSON del Dr. Clyde N. Wilson.

Oggi ho il raro onore di presentare due libri eccellenti in un’unica recensione! Si tratta di Ordo Pluriversalis di Leonid Savin e di Looking For Mr. Jefferson di Clyde Wilson. Come anteprima della recensione, “Ordo Pluriversalis” è, ovviamente, il termine latino per “ordine versatile” o “ordine dei molti”, un nome naturale per un tomo sul multipolarismo delle Nazioni Sovrane; e, non cercate oltre, abbiamo trovato Jefferson, in un certo senso salvandolo da quasi due secoli di confusioni. Nella mia mente, queste opere sono in qualche modo collegate tra loro, sebbene i loro argomenti siano separati sia dagli oceani che dal considerevole passare del tempo. Inoltre, entrambe sono giunte alla mia attenzione e in mio possesso nel giro di pochi giorni. Pertanto, nel tentativo di accontentare tutti, li discuto qui di seguito in successione e con un piccolo grado di sovrapposizione. Li raccomando entrambi con il massimo entusiasmo e sincerità.

Savin, Leonid, Ordo Pluriversalis: The End of Pax Americana and the Rise of Multipolarity, Londra: Black House, 2020.

Indipendentemente da latitudine, longitudine e velocità di rotazione…

Merry literary Christmas!

In just a few hours, at this very humble little web log, a new short story in lieu of a column is coming. You’ll be pleased.

For the wider world, I decided to update my income to housing price ratio “game.” (Average incomes in the USSA should now be $375,000…) I thank Mr. Savin and the good folks at Geopolitika for carrying this bit in full:

LIFE UNDER SANCTIONS: THE INCOME TO HOUSING PRICE RATIO GAME

I lost track of how many “crushing” rounds of economic sanctions the Global American Empire and its vassal states placed on Russia. So far as I can tell from a distance, the combined effect, while perhaps causing minor inconveniences here and there, has been to act as a kind of externally imposed protective tariff. Similar results have been seen in North Korea, Iran, and elsewhere. Those actions, along with the idiotic decoupling of Russia from SWIFT appear to have opened the floodgates of Russian, Sino-Russian, and BRICS+ expansion and prosperity. But who knows? Maybe the neoliberal satanists are just one more set of “crushing” sanctions away from reestablishing their collapsing global dominion. Their tactics have, however, proved remarkably effective in and against their host nations.
