I love America. Not the idea or the nation but the place. The America of the vast plains, towering mountains, a multitude of lakes, and endless skies. The America I fell in love is the America of my grandma’s cherry pies, rural farm stands, and kind neighbors.

I hate also America, not the place but the nation. The America of Walmart’s Chinese imports, of The Great Satan’s military bases sprawling across the globe, of porn from LA. This America I learned to hate: with it’s corporations before people, destruction of the family, and atomization of love.

This is a split in my thinking and I think it reflects a split in the Dissident Right. That split is between the Nationalist Right and the Tribalist Right.

The Nationalist Right seem to hold the belief that we can retake our Nations. That the Westphalian model of identity still has value to the modern person. That if only we form some kind of political movement we can retake the institutions that have become the home of the bugmen and his DMV lady crony. The Nationalist Right are closely related to their civic minded brothers, although many would deny this. They would deny it because they place more emphasis on the European Nature of our Nations. They may even offer very good explanations of the problems we face and identify them correctly and yet they are more alike their civic brothers because they still buy a supra-nationalistic form of identity can be established in the short term. They are also usually heavily ideological. Ideology is at the heart of their Nationalism. This makes them brittle and in many ways they are more alike those we all oppose. A good example of this would be the Nationalist Right types who cheer when a figure like Putin criticizes Greta Thunberg. They display a strange myopia because they lust for the leadership of Putin, or because ideologically they can’t accept any truths Greta might share.

Opposite the Nationalist Right are the Tribalist Right. They are more difficult to classify and group but I shall attempt to make a few observations. They do not believe that this society can be saved. Instead they believe we must form our own tribes to fight against the rot. Many have strong sympathies with “Industrial Society and Its Future” and care for the trees. They read BAP, they workout, they meme with each other and laugh at clown world. I can also only hope that they are building in their personal lives tribes. I would posit that the Tribalist Right see the hope for the future by way of building amidst the ruins of this society. That we can cannibalize what is left and out of that strong men shall rule once more. Donovan’s Way of Men was perhaps too early onto the scene for some of these men but they espouse his ideas nonetheless. The Tribalist Right frighten the mainstream right most of all. We can see that with their recent attempts to understand Bronze Age Mindset. They are wary that many in their circle appear to be reading this call to power. The Tribalist Right are much more of an unknown, they offer the ability to birth a myriad of competing ideas that challege the status quo.

What of the larger Dissident RIght itself? Most seem to have abandoned the Alt-Right label after the debacle of Charlottesville and the realization that the Alt-Right figureheads were incompetent jokes, or even possible State allies. See previous article on these charlatans. Many of these Alt-Right types have undergone a process of rebranding. Of course some, like Spencer, were never really right-wing they were just racist liberals. Useful for the media to hold up and portray because it fits (((their))) narrative. Contrast that when the media try to engage with BAP or the like. They fear the cult of fitness, of showing off Handsome Thursday bodies to the masses. The Nationalist Right desperately want to be taken seriously by the clown society it seems. The Tribalist Right laugh at clown society and invite men to step outside of it. This split may not become antagonistic between the two – however both are competing visions for young men. Do you want to be leafleting the almost bugmen and DMV women around you on the street? These same people who when their daughters are murdered by illegal cholos proclaim loudly how great immigrant food is? Or do you cast off aspersions of throwing life vests to people and instead wait to see if they are worthy of crawling out of the freezing ocean onboard your boat?
