Our traffic rose dramatically near the end of May due to two factors: first, our commemoration of Evola’s birthday went viral, resulting in thousands of reads of Evola articles; second, Dominique Venner’s suicide on May 21 gave us our highest traffic ever on May 21 and May 22, as Counter-Currents is the primary outlet of English-language writings by and about Venner.
2. Our Webzine
In May, we added 80 posts to the website, for a total of 2,686 posts since going online on June 11, 2010.
3. Our Fundraising Efforts
Counter-Currents, like all journals that go against the current of time, needs the support of donors to thrive and grow. Our financial situation, and what you can do to help out, is outlined in my article “Movement or ‘Stuckment.’” Please consider making a donation today.
