Brett Stevens – Nihilism: Deconstructing Modernity

Brett Stevens writes on the topics of nihilism, deep ecology, nationalism and anti-work. He has been published at American Renaissance, RightOn, Alternative Right, Return Of Kings, Nihil and the blog where he serves as editor, Amerika.org. His first book, Nihilism, was published via Numen Books in 2016.

Brett joins us for an enlightening conversation on nihilism, traditionalism, nationalism, and much more. We begin by talking about Brett’s ideological journey, which began with anarcho-capitalism and eventually led him to Neoreaction and the Alt-Right. Brett then tells us about his book, Nihilism. We learn that nihilism in this context doesn’t refer to an absence of values, but rather a philosophical process by which one discards all preconceived notions in order to discover the truth. This process, Brett explains, is rooted in realism, for it eschews emotional perspectives and concerns for arbitrary social norms. We then discuss consequentialism, which leads to a consideration of the role of violence in civilization. The first hour also delves into what we can learn from nature, the idea that all institutions are businesses, and the true meaning of collectivism.

In the members’ hour, we begin with a discussion on the true nature of the Left. Brett points out that the Left attacks those who disagree with it, whereas the Right only attacks in self-defense. We discuss the importance of realism, which Brett contrasts with perspectives rooted in concerns for what is considered socially acceptable at a particular point in time. We then switch gears to talk about the Alt-Right. Brett compares the Alt-Right to the mythic hero’s journey, and differentiates between people who are good at a specific set of modern skills and those who are able to obtain a more transcendent understanding of the universe. Later, we discuss transhumanism, which Brett argues is the contemporary Left’s answer to eugenics. The members’ hour contains discussing on a number of other topics, including futurism, traditionalism, and the Balkanization of America.

    Brett Stevens is a weird philo-semite who routinely describes Jews as “fellow nationalists”. He has been doing this for decades. Sad to see him published here.

      Well aren’t they? Sure, we don’t need them in our countries but isn’t it paranoid to assume that they are all George Soros?

        Read the Gospel of St. John 8:44 … all you need to know abut the jew.
        P.S. they all hate all white people .. we (white people, which maybe isn’t YOU) are the children of Esau, the one who Momma’s Boy Isreal stole the birthright and father’s blessing from, remember.

      This site is becoming alt-light, and willing to sell out for shekels.

      In this interview I heard nothing of the sort. I heard a call for hierarchy and the hilarious comment of deporting all leftist to Brazil. Was a great interview.

        You may not have heard anything of the sort in this interview but on his website Amerika.org he and guest posters routinely cuck for the chosenites. One of the posters (not Stevens) refered to Europeans as failed Jews.
        Brett Stevens should always have ((( ))) around his name.

    The podcast he talks about is here: ‘NPR’ http://www.amerika.org/tag/podcast/

    (Not the same as Jeffrey Fairwater’s one by the same name on radio.therightstuff.biz – he plays mostly music IIRC.)

  • I think the big difference between THEN and NOW is the way we deal with the elites.

    The great era of reform and progress happened when the Ruling Elites, the Wasps, came under scrutiny and criticism, mostly pointedly from Jews but also from ethnics, Catholics, and blacks.

    So, The Power came under pressure to reform and make things fairer for all citizens. And The Power back then didn’t shield its power or deny its power. Wasps fully admitted and even flaunted their power, and their prestige depended on how they managed this power. They knew they had the fire and were the tenders of the flames.

    In contrast, with the rise of the Jewish Elites, the tradition and practice of speaking truth to power has been perverted by various diversionary tactics.

    The narrative continues to be about ‘white privilege’ — and yes, whites still have lots of power — , but the main power is now held by Jews. However, Jews will not admit to the extent of their power and leverage, and all gentile(and ‘gender’) groups are afraid to confront Jews and demand accountability.

    Also, if Jews rule America, they effectively rule the world since US is the lone superpower.

    Because criticism of Jewish Power has been muted(or diverted to another group via Jewish control of narrative and discourse), we have disasters in finance, foreign policy, media, and academia whose true origins are hardly addressed. Nothing crucial is placed on the table for honest discussion of the real power.
    Instead, due to Jewish media control, we are made to fixate on ridiculous stuff like Aryan Nazi rapists at UVA or Putin as puppet-master of Trump. Even Trump, though ceaselessly attacked and reviled by the Jewish elites, pretends that the biggest threat to America is a handful of random of Muslim terrorists.

    Also, because Jews find Negroes and homos useful as allies against White/Christian power, their nastiness and problems are hardly discussed. So, let’s not talk about black crime and mayhem, which is a big problem in the US. Let’s not discuss the baleful influence of homos on our culture that is now an open puss of degeneracy, vanity, and indulgence.

    If we are to have another golden age of reform and rising accountability, we need to deal with The Power. The Power is essentially Jewish and Globalist. It will be good for everyone to have a honest discussion of who has the power and what is being done with that power.
    It’s like a doctor has to be honest with his patient if he is to really treat the disease. There are good things about Jewish power, but when all Jews circle the wagons and pretend to be underdogs even as overdogs, things will just get worse because good Jews will have decided to stick with the bad ones out of tribal loyalty all the while attacking white patriots for their ‘racist’ tribalism.

    Immigration Issue just obfuscates the discussion we must have because increased Diversity serves as Diversion from Crisis of The Power. It just creates tensions among diverse goyim that are manipulated by the GLOB that sits on top.

    What the Alt Right must do is do what St. Paul did with his epistles. He wrote a series of letters to his rivals, enemies, and possible allies/converts.

    Alt Right and Antifa may disagree on core vision, but surely both are about addressing the Issue of Power. Alt Right must inform Antifa that the Real Power is with Jewish Globalists of Wall Street, Hollywood, Las Vegas, Silicon Valley, and etc. Antifa and such ilk are completely deluded if they think ‘nazis’ have power in America.
    If Antifa wants to be a real rebel against the Power, they are fighting the wrong people. If anything, they are unwitting Procuck who are being manipulated by the likes of Soros.

      Fight alongside Antifa? Jews and Blackfricans a force of good for transforming America? You must be joking?
