REMEMBERING OUR ROOTS

After Dave’s very kind introduction a few days ago, I thought I’d write a few words about the nature of my YouTube channel.

 

 

I decided to start the channel a few months ago after watching Millennial Woes's excellent video 'One hour from now', which he recorded last autumn. It made me think deeply about what contribution I could make to the current culture war.

MJOLNIR AT THE MOVIES INTERMISSION: THE LAST JEDI IN CHINA

It's the intermission at Mjolnir at the Movies during my partner in thoughtcrime Neil Westwood's absence, in which I fill in with my thoughts on why The Last Jedi failed in China. Please subscribe to our Youtube channel and follow us on Twitter, as we have just set up an account: @MjolnirMagazine

 

 

'WHITEWASHING' AND THE HUFFINGTON POST'S ANTI-WHITE AGENDA

Catherine Zeta Jones is the latest actor to come under fire for so-called 'whitewashing', where a White actor plays a character who is ethnically Other. Jones plays Colombian 'Cocaine Godmother' Griselda Blanco in the biopic of that name airing tonight on Lifetime. As usual, the blatantly anti-White Huffington Post has led the charge, with Latina journalist Carolina Moreno screaming for the casting of someone from her own ethnicity. Moreno claims it has caused an angry backlash and shows a handful of social media comments to prove it. It is not the first time this furore at 'whitewashing' has been manufactured in the media, with the likes of Johnny Depp, Jennifer Lawrence and the cast of Gods of Egypt all having come under fire in recent years (even though the Egyptian Gods were White).

 

HOLLY HAZELTREE'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL

There are a lot of Youtube channels on the Rightist side of metapolitics. Very few of them offer much in the way of original content and rely on bad news porn and endless chit-chat wherein the same tired dialogues and monologues are endlessly repeated. It is therefore very refreshing when one finds a little gem amongst the broken glass. Holly Hazeltree offers a much-needed look at forgotten rites, rituals and cultural festivals, the manipulation of language and culture by antagonistic elites, and what the effects of cultural change have been on society. Her first video deals with the various permutations of the word 'consume', the associations that have been imprinted on the word since its etymological beginnings and how it has helped to shape consciousness. I have mentioned cognitive linguistics before, and it is something very underappreciated by the Right.

 

 

WHAT THE H&M DEBACLE SAYS ABOUT RACE

This will be a relatively short article, but it raises some important philosophical questions for those who believe in the false dogma of either race blindness or race as a social contruct. Both deny the physical nature of race as a reality. A few days ago, the clothing retail chain H&M released the advert below featuring a black child wearing one of their hoodies that bore the inscription 'Coolest monkey in the jungle'. This has now resulted in Blacks in South Africa organising and mobilising against H&M stores, which have been trashed and looted. The Blacks, as ever, claim their actions are justified because H&M are 'racist' because of the word monkey being in close proximity to the black child. The question as to quite why a company that wants their custom would wish to insult them has not occurred to them, nor has the fact that their reaction resembles the behaviour of lower primates, but these points rather disguise the main issue regarding the whole notion of 'racist' insults of this nature.

 

CHRISTINA ROSSETTI'S GOBLIN MARKET: Shut it down!

Christina Rossetti is best remembered as one of the Pre-Raphaelites. While technically not a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood herself (she was, after all, a woman), her brother Dante Gabriel was one of its founders and she remains one of the biggest names in the Pre-Raphaelite movement as a whole. As well as modelling for several famous paintings, she was a poet of distinction in her own right and served to renew the lessons and themes from the classics, folk tale and faerytale in her own time, drawing from both her Italian roots and adopted English culture. This adoption of English culture included High Anglicanism, although she tended towards Anglo-Catholicism not as a return to Roman Catholicism, but as a rejection of liberalism within the church. Indeed, she rejected a marriage proposal by Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood painter James Collinson after he reverted back to Roman Catholicism, having converted to High Anglicanism for the engagement with Rossetti.

WHAT IS A HAPPY NEW YEAR?

A few days ago, an editor of the online mainstream newspaper The Huffington Post wrote the tweet below, which garnered some media attention. It did not get anywhere near the hysterical outcries from the mainstream press that, say, Donald Trump earns for a bit of harmless locker room banter, which suddenly become 'trumped-up' charges of rape and molestation. McCombs' genuine hatred for men has been, in contrast, largely ignored by her fellow mainstream journalists and she continues to serve as 'Editorial Director of Parents'. As some Alt Right commentators have noted, Mzz McCombs has a young son, but that is not the whole story....

MJOLNIR AT THE MOVIES EPISODE III: STAR WARS, THE LAST WHITE MALE

Neil Westwood and I are joined by Alt Right novelist Andy Nowicki (or should that be Nowookie?) as we try to find some redeeming features in Disney's latest anti-Star Wars feature, The Last Jedi. Sadly, as if in some ironic parallel to the Star Wars franchise itself, the quality of this episode deteriorates markedly and it gets pretty echoey later on. As far as I'm aware though, none of us have any Jewish ancestry. Unfortunately, due to the holidays and so on, we found it difficult to schedule a re-recording session and, as The Last Jedi is getting old already, I have decided to just go with what we have. It isn't too bad without earphones, but dreadful when wearing them. Again, (((Youtube))) have put the image upside-down in an act of Semitic pettiness.....
