Padraig Martin is a devout Christian, author, husband, father, and business owner. He has two masters degrees – one in Islamic Law and the other an MBA from two elite universities. Padraig owns four businesses on two continents. As a dual citizen, he is both a Southern and Irish Nationalist. He is very happily married and father to seven children. As an author, he writes for Identity Dixie and has published several books under different names, including his latest book, “A Walk in the Park: My Charlottesville Story.” Currently, Padraig’s collaborating with 11 other authors on the creation of a new book that will launch this spring. Be sure to follow him on Gab where you can read his insightful cultural critiques.

Martin and I discuss “the Southern zeitgeist,” what nationalism means and being a “separatist at heart,” how “ethnic is not a naughty word,” the current chatter about a “national divorce” and what a “free and independent Dixie” might look like, being doxxed, lessons learned from Charlottesville, the power of localism and the importance of building “a mosaic of an identity.”

Download this podcast, watch on Odysee, GabTV, or YouTube, or listen at Dissident Mama. Some of Martin’s ID essays which are particularly relevant to our conversation:
• “Why Broad-Based White Nationalism Fails and How to Fix It”
• “It’s High Time for Southern Secession”
• “A Holy Case for Southern Nationalism and Secession”
• “A Strategy for Dissidents”
• “You Make a Terrible Nazi”
• “The Making of an Irish-Southern Nationalist” about CSA Maj. Gen. Patrick Cleburne who Martin uses as his online avatar (seen top-left in the feature image).

A few other pertinent articles:• “The Universality of the Southern cause” by Dr. Boyd Cathey
• “We’re all secessionists now” and “Fake secession for thee; despotism for me” by yours truly.
