WHO'S WHO IN THE DISSIDENT RIGHT: ANDY NOWICKI

"No wick, I"

More a case of "Who was who in the Dissident Right" rather than Who is who," Nowicki is nevertheless significant as an example of the "QAnon-isation" of a comparatively "normie" American. 

Gen-Xer of Polish, Irish, and Italian antecedents, based in Savannah Georgia. One of the writers from the original AlternativeRight.com site, Nowicki was a reasonably sensible Catholic traditionalist with a limited interest and understanding of political, ideological, and philosophical matters, but a nice line in "passive aggressive" scepticism. He was always rather gullible it seems.

In recent years, however, he has become an increasingly florid conspiracist, who appears to be mainly driven by his "emotional issues" (MGTOW, incelism, masturbation, etc) due to his rather plain-looking wife leaving him some years ago, "after the kids had grown up." This led to a rather sad but occasionally comic downward spiral.

He started writing for Richard Spencer's AlternativeRight.com in 2010. In 2012, Spencer sent Nowicki to South Africa to cover the post-Apartheid nation. Later in the year, Spencer handed over editorial control of AlternativeRight.com to Nowicki and myself, who co-edited it for a year and a half (with me doing 90% of the work) before Spencer shut the site down.

Following this, I re-founded the site as a blogspot on Boxing Day 2013, and, in the interests of continuity, I invited Nowicki to serve as joint editor, but he soon dropped out and merely used the site to promote his self-published books of conspiritard fiction and self-indulgent autobiographical writing. 

Several of his books are about suicide, and he believes in crackpot theories like the "Mandela Effect" that are often associated with schizophrenics. For example, he literally believes that "globalists" moved South America on the maps! He also has an almost fetishistic fascination with failure and being a loser, reflected in the titles of his autobiographical books "Confessions of a Would-Be Wanker" and "Ruminations of a Low-Status Male."

More recently, he has focused increasingly on YouTube, where he continues to give his misinformed and rather tedious opinions. For example, he literally believes that secret elite networks, held together by sex crimes against children, run the world (except for Russia), although he has himself sometimes shown an interest in borderline paedo content. His videos often feature him lying on a bed, as if about to die of despair, while clutching a pillow, or alternatively pretending to be a bit "hopped up" in a manner apparently designed to cause concern to those actively trying to pre-emp the next spree shooter. 

Typical Nowicki content

He has of course written a book of gullible, unresearched trash on the now discredited Pizzagate scandal. Due to his complete ignorance of geopolitics and his conspiritard bent, he believes that the issue of our day, the Russian invasion of the Ukraine, is actually an attack by "evil globalists" on innocent "Holy Mother Russia."

He occasionally appears on outright Neo-Nazi podcasts like "Our Interesting Times" and Morgoth, and continues to write "under appreciated" fiction for Matt Forney's Terror House Press.

Due to former ties, I was only able to write as honestly as this about him when he foolishly decided to personally attack me in one of his dumb videos. All in all, I still like Andy, but believe he could do with a little more self-reflection and Christian humility (rather tragic for someone to be a Christian and not get any of the benefits!).

  1. What's up dude? You still living in japan? Or are you back in Merrie Olde? I see you're trying out the old Andy routine again.. kind of an interesting guy I guess... I don't really believe that he really believes all these conspiracy theories he touts... He's too erudite to actually believe in that kind of stuff.. I think he's just going for the lowest common denominator on the right wing online thing.. that is merely a schtick for him

    1. Pretty cynical view there. Andy seems totally sincere to me.
