James Conway is a Sligoman, father, farmer, sometime builder, occasional election candidate and general activist for the good of his community and nation. He is an example of the kind of person our broken nations might look to now in seeking youthful voices capable of articulating our common situation in its depths, and plotting a new way forward after the horrors of the past few years.

In this conversation, conducted in Sligo, Ireland, on July 14th, 2022, James and I talk about many things of vital concern to our respective communities and our nations at this critical moment in history — with Ireland functioning as the particularity that speaks for the universal — including:

—the coming worldwide catastrophe;

—the incipient land-grab conducted under the cover of environmentalism;

—the ‘new Kulaks’: the farmers and other ‘Able Men’ of the contemporary West;

—the threat to private property from the WEFfer elites:

—the murder of the public conversation that paved the way for the obliteration of democracy necessary to achieve these larcenies;

—the growing psychosis of leftism;

—the state and governmental fear of citizen self-sufficiency — the true locus of the Republic;

—the fragmentation of humanity — young pitted against old, old against young;

—the leveraging of victimologies to undermine democracy —the Wretched of the Earth as battering rams against Western civilisation;

—Covid as nuclear bomb;

—the performative virtue-signalling and neo-colonial intolerance of liberalism: progressivism as reverse gear

—the death of adulthood;

—the enforced lockjaw of modern societies;

—the massacre of the great passions;

—the Woke crusades and their escalating inquisitions;

—Ireland’s mission to abolish itself;

— the calumniation of Ireland Past;

—the infantilisation of Irish humanity;

—the castration of Irish manhood;

—the recurring contagion of genetic memory;

—the potential for hope, in spite of its destruction;

—the potential, too, for amnesia:

‘What if there is no history? What if history is written by others, who have no care for what happened to the Irish people, or what happened in Ireland before a certain time, maybe 2020, or 2015, or 2011 . . . What then? You can scrub Ireland from the blackboard of history, and nobody will know.’  — John Waters
