Western nations face an existential crisis: mass immigration, cultural dissolution, and the replacement of organic communities with atomized consumer societies managed by distant elites. Keith Woods examines the roots and consequences of these transformations, arguing that nationalism isn't a dangerous ideology but a natural human impulse grounded in biology and history. Woods offers a path forward through decentralization, cultural reconstruction, and the creation of small, ethnically cohesive communities reconnected to nature and local traditions. This short provides a systematic case for ethnic nationalism as the only viable alternative to globalist modernity, challenging readers to reject abstract universalism and rebuild societies around authentic human bonds of kinship, culture, and shared identity.

Chapters

Nationalism stems from basic human nature, not modern politics or economics. People naturally prefer their own ethnic and cultural groups due to evolutionary instincts that intellectuals wrongly dismiss as outdated or artificial constructs.
