Jim Goad has produced a short film to accompany his latest essay, “A Bold New Level of Stupid: Why the Island Boys are the Future,” on why these social media “influencers” just might be a vision of the Americans of the future, if present trends continue. (more…)

Spring is a time of renewal, energy, and strength. Here at Counter-Currents, we have you to thank for our vitality and success. Our annual fundraiser begins every year in March in part because this is the anniversary of the month our enemies tried to destroy us. Fortunately, all of you, our generous supporters, refused to let them. (more…)

I was recently asked to make some subtle aesthetic adjustments to the Counter-Currents website. If I’ve done the job well, no one will even notice the changes. The task required me to go through the archives all the way back to the summer of 2010, the year Greg Johnson broke digital ground and Counter-Currents went online. (more…)

The Play

Written nearly ten years after its subject events, Aeschylus’ drama The Persians was revolutionary, since its Athenian author^[1] told the story from the enemy’s point of view; still, the sensibility was Greek. (more…)

If I could choose to be anyone from the twentieth century, I would not hesitate for a moment to pick Ernst Jünger.

The man did just about everything it was possible to do in his time, and stretched the limits of what one individual can accomplish in a lifetime to their breaking point. His incredible lifespan alone (he died a month shy of his 103rd birthday) spanned the Kaiserreich, the German Revolution, the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich, the Federal Republic of Germany, and finally, reunited Germany in his final decade — and was active in all of them.

I’ve spent my entire life thinking I’ve found the lowest common denominator, only to find a denominator even lower and more common than the previous denominator. But I think I’ve finally found it — THE lowest common denominator. Actually, two lowest common denominators, because as John Donne famously said, “No boy is an island.”

As my tough luck would have it, I stumbled across a little one-minute video from October 2021 of two imbeciles in a pool crooning with fake Jamaican accents in that awful whiny style of pussy-whipped “singing” that has disgraced the Urban Mating Song genre for at least a generation now. (more…)

Corruption can be funny. This is especially the case when someone is bad at it, because then it ventures into the realm of comedy. Ultimately, however, it isn’t funny. It is the rust that corrodes civilizations. It rewards the lazy, the selfish, the cunning, and it punishes and demoralizes everyone else — especially if the perpetrators get away with it.

I once knew an Indian woman who said that she admired the fact that politics in the United States lacks corruption. (more…)

Generation ’68: The Elite Revolution and Its Legacy

A Left-wing freakout took place among students across the world in 1968, most prominently in France, where student protesters occupied universities and factories, clashed with police, and chanted the names of prominent Communists and Leftists: “Marx! Mao! Marcuse!” France’s trade unions went on strikes in sympathy, and the event remains the largest general strike in French history. The protests were so intense that France’s then-President, Charles de Gaulle, briefly left the country. (more…)

I would be lying if I said I try to avoid pop culture, because it really doesn’t take much effort. When you are young, you pick stuff up from being around other young people, and if you are a parent, you pick stuff up from your kids. But I’m old and have no kids, and I find that if you don’t listen to the radio in the car and only watch Turner Classic Movies, it is actually quite easy to completely lose touch with pop culture. I’m perfectly happy having no idea who the latest singers and teen heartthrobs are. (more…)

That elusive last puzzle-piece

The jigsaw puzzle that is the United Kingdom of Britain and Northern Ireland has a piece missing. Of the puzzle’s four parts, as of this month the only non-white premier in Great Britain is Michelle O’Neill, a worryingly white-skinned blonde who obstinately stands in the way of an ethnic minority clean sweep of the UK’s top posts in government.

With the resignation of Welsh premier Mark Drakeford, a black man, Vaughan Gething, was duly elected in his place, and he wasted no time celebrating the fact that he is the first black premier in the European Union. There, you might be tempted to say, goes the neighborhood. (more…)

It’s been a while since I did a roundup of news items from the The System’s propaganda organs. Time and again, the mainstream media always puts extra BS into their bias.

Is Texas soon to be the new Fourth Reich?

Last September, when I saw the headline “How Texas became the new ‘homebase’ for white nationalist and neo-Nazi groups” by our good friends at Salon, my first thought was that some journalist really doesn’t like Greg Abbott! (more…)
