Trump’s base has evolved since he first ran for president in 2016. His supporters now are younger and more racially diverse. Trump saw gains among all racial minorities in 2024–especially Latinos and Asians—and even won over the majority of Latino men. (more…)

We made a swift arrest at the time and recognise the right people have for freedom of expression, but when this crosses into intimidation to cause harm or distress we will always look to take action when it is reported to us.

A clay model of Thugs demonstrating their method of murder by strangulation
In the all-consuming culture wars of our era, it is often tempting to look for convenient rhetorical victories. Sometimes, however, these victories can be too convenient. I remember such victories from the 1990s when I first learned of the Thuggees of India. All I knew at the time was that they were a murderous cult, prevalent during the 19th-century British Raj, and that the British (to their credit) had completely stamped them out. (more…)

The thrill is gone
It’s gone away from me …

Since leaving Fox News, Tucker Carlson’s new media venture has been at best groundbreaking and inquisitive and at worst baselessly speculative and conspiratorial. The February 8, 2025 episode “Mike Benz Takes Us Down the USAID Rabbit Hole (It’s Worse Than You Think)” is a case in point. Benz, the executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, joined Tucker for a wide ranging discussion on the many sordid left-wing operations funded by USAID, a federal agency “primarily responsible for administering civilian foreign aid and development assistance.” (more…)

While I enjoy reading the onslaught of essays against the fallacies of NAXALT, there is a blind spot that these attacks cannot argue against: model minorities.
Attacking NAXALT when it is used to defend the behavior, existence and presence of non-whites in white countries is effective when there are significant parts of these populations that have an obviously negative impact on the West. (more…)

Whenever I hear of a blatantly irresponsible and destructive policy—like “Defund the police”—I always ask myself, “What are they counting on?” By this I mean: “What are they counting on to avoid disaster/produce good results?” Since people respond to opportunities, and defunding the police will create more opportunities for crime, the predictable result is more crime. And more crime makes society worse not better. (more…)

One of the saddest things about the tragedy that England has become is the loss of its comedy. Traditionally seen as a nation of sober, sensible yeomanry with a philosophical tradition of bullish empiricism and a stiff upper lip to boot, the English were the epitome of gravitas. And yet this small, rainy, rather gloomy country has produced supreme comedy not just for domestic consumption, but able to travel abroad carrying the universally accepted currency of humor. (more…)

When I first became “red-pilled” and realized that radical political change was required in order to secure a future for the white race in North America, I was filled with an intense urge to share my newly-discovered knowledge with as many people as I could. I am sure that many of you can relate to this impulse. (more…)

President Donald Trump was set to impose a 25% tariff on imports from Canada starting on Tuesday February 4. After two last-minute phone calls on Monday, Trump and Trudeau agreed on a temporary duty-free 30-day ceasefire.
Investigative news outlet Blacklock’s Reporter summarized the situation:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau only 36 hours after pledging to lead a Team Canada fight against American tariffs yesterday offered numerous concessions in exchange for a 30-day reprieve from U.S. President Donald Trump. No legal text of an agreement was detailed: “We work together.” (more…)

So, 500.
It’s hard for me to believe that this is my 500th essay for Counter-Currents. I began writing for Counter-Currents in March 2016 (almost nine years ago) as a complete unknown, and since then I have managed to scrape together a decent-sized body of work of over one million words. Yes, I keep track of all of it—every topic I write about, every link I include, every person I mention. (more…)
