When Mike Polignano and I started Counter-Currents Publishing and North American New Right back in June, we really weren’t convinced that there was an audience out there for an explicitly White Nationalist “metapolitical” publishing house and journal with a focus on philosophy, political theory, religion, history, literature, the arts, popular culture, etc. (more…)
