When my friend and fellow parishioner Thomas Millary asked me to be a guest on his up-and-coming podcast, Psyop Cinema, I happily agreed. But because it’s a “film industry” show, I also had to pick a movie to critique – something that should kind of encapsulate my work at Dissident Mama, he advised. I’m not …
So we got to know Ilana Mercer a bit in part 1. Now, the paleolibertarian wordsmith takes full command of her keyboard and her craft, and takes no prisoners in this explosive followup. Simply put, she ain’t skeered. Even though I’m a recovering mainstream journalist by trade, I’ve only been at dissident blogging a few …

DM: Was your …
I first met Dr. Clyde Wilson in February 2018 at an Abbeville Institute conference in Charleston. I had been reading his many works since I began becoming more intellectually curious about Southern tradition, the War, Reconstruction, and the New South, my own Confederate ancestry, and what it all means for the world today.
