Happy New Year, 2023 newsletter!
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a nice start to the year and end to 2022!
I just wanted to give you all a newsletter regarding what I am working on in 2023 and a summary of 2022.
First, the summary. To begin, I will candidly admit 2022 was a rather rough year for me. It seems that a lot more went wrong than went right. I had some work and health issues that made things difficult for me. And frankly, looking back over the past five years of my life, it was non-stop and exhausting. In the years of 2018-2022, I published Liberalism Unmasked, went through law school, moved twice, published 35 or so articles on Counter-Currents, passed the bar, jumped into the legal field head first, participated in the Cville lawsuit, J6 defenses, the covid vaccine legal battle, adopted cats, one that almost died in the hospital All with no break, and lost a couple of close friends. By the Summer of 2022, I was entirely run down.
With that said, 2022 did have a few bits of success. I published the viral Ice Cream Machines & Societal Disintegration piece about the McDonald's ice cream machine's maladies. A review of The Batman, a part II of "Why I Write" after Robin's funeral, and The Fading Memory of American Homeownership on Counter-Currents, along with several blog posts here, such as about my trip to Canada in my early 20s. We released two new episodes of Dark Academia, one about Kanye West and the other about recent SCOTUS decisions. On the legal front, I stayed very busy with free speech matters, protecting people like us from being harassed by the government for their legally protected speech. I wrapped up a few cases that were not political but for community members needing a little legal help. Despite it all, still, a productive year that I'm proud of.
As usual, I was hoping to publish more of the longer articles I have been working on - this brings me to 2023!
I will continue to be available to the community as a legal resource. To be honest, it's not something I enjoy, but it is one of those things I'm afraid would not be there otherwise.
There are three main goals I have for writing long-from this year. I hope they are achievable, but I know time will be a constraint again. The first is to finish the sequel to Liberalism Unmasked. It is coming along slowly and steadily, very high quality and incisive. There are a few of the pre-order supporter slots left if you are interested. Just DM me here or on any platform about it.
The next is to finish the two very in-depth pieces in the war against whites series. The War Against White Children and The War Against White Neighborhoods. I have been working on both, with well over 100 hours in them combined. They are akin to the previously published War Against Whites in Advertising and the War Against White Women. As with the first two installments, these two have a tremendous amount of background research going into them, a massive survey of articles, interviews, and more. The advertising article took over 100 hours, and I spent over a year on it. These next two will be similar, and I want to finish both in 2023. I wish I was able to publish on a consistent frequency, such as monthly or so. But the subject matter and the depth and breadth of what I try to cover are just too much for that. Although that is stressful, on the one hand, it is nice to publish things that hold up so well and stand out so much.
Finally, I want to publish one of the more "fun" articles I have in the works. They will be shorter and of a slightly less dire nature and tone. There's a Halloween one in the works, one about the psychology of fashion, notes on nostalgia. They are some interesting things people will enjoy. A bit more light-hearted. Well, not the nostalgia one. But different.
These goals are going to essentially be third in line for my new priorities. I'm going to first focus on my health, then work and finances, and then writing. I think it will make me the most productive and allow for the highest quality of work and longevity.
Again, I know it is not a high volume of content, but I hope you understand the time I put into these, and hopefully, they are worth it.
I really appreciate the support from all of you. It means the world. And without it, I don't think I would be able to make the time to keep writing at this place in my life and career.
Thank you again, take care, and talk soon.
Always,
Rich
