Greetings, everyone. I am of Franco-Spanish stock, but an underdeveloped Spanish-American republic takes the liberty of printing me a passport every so often, and I happen to have been living abroad for the past few years, which is hardly surprising in view of the fact that I was educated under the tutelage of Britons in my country. I am, in essence, the abandoned bastard child of eclipsed empires, but I have not ceased to admire the mother country, which is, I suppose, still ‘mine’, although there are stamps in my passport that suggest otherwise.
My political alignments, although needlessly cluttered and indecisive, could be variously described as intensely patriotic (with an allowance, perhaps, for a form of National Catholicism), protective of hierarchies, corporatist, anti-
laïque
, and anti-immigration, but readings of Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn and a slight disdain for some amongst the
popular classes
have been known to cause the awakening of my inner anarchist. There is also a constant, pervasive tendency affecting (or, some may say,
afflicting
) my postulates: a fervid, violent Hispanophilia. This defence of Spain and her historical circumstances is, I believe, prominent in anything I write; even when I don’t intend on doing so, a ‘refutation of the Black Legend’ makes its way into the lines emanating from my pen.
I cannot track (or remember, even) my progression or ‘journey’ in these circles; I cannot be asked to recall where I started or which website led me to this sector of right-wing because, perhaps due to my upbringing, I have always been at least vaguely right-leaning, but
I will
say that Twitter led me to the Salò Forum. I have been a lurker for quite a bit; now, I have considered it apt to register,
poast
, and if possible, contribute.
Let the fun begin.
