Rebranding the Right

Mixed messages.

2,733 words

After any setback, it is perfectly natural and proper to reassess one’s tactics and goals. It is, after all, a winning attitude after a loss to blame oneself and not one’s enemies.

My Conversation with Andrew Anglin

1,700 words

On Monday, August 28, Tara McCarthy invited me to have a conversation with Andrew Anglin of The Daily Stormer on her Reality Calls Show. I enjoyed the debate between me and Vox Day she hosted on August 17th, so I accepted. Tara made it clear that we were to be having a conversation, not a debate, and the topic would be the current attacks on white advocates and the way forward from here. I need to make this clear, because Andrew is now billing our conversation as a debate. Read more …

China’s Sinister Strategy for Global Dominance

F. C. Comtaose

5,155 words

It has always been my firmly and consistently held view that Jewry and China are the two cardinal enemies of the white race at present and for the foreseeable future. While the former remains the crux of almost all the internal problems of the white nations, Read more …

On Vetting & Entry into a White Ethnostate, Part III

2,635 words

Part 3 of 3. For Part 1 of this series, click here; for Part 2, click here.

For this last installment, we focus on what to do with applicants of good character who for any number of reasons failed the criteria for entry into a white ethnostate. This process is called “Racial Vetting” (point B5 on the flowchart from Part 2) and deals almost exclusively with individuals who are: Read more …

“Jews Will Not Replace Us”:
What Normies Need to Know

Huntley Haverstock

3,840 words

If my introduction to the topic of Jews and immigration policy had been through a march that looked like the angry villagers in Beauty and the Beast ready to bust their way in to the Beast’s castle yelling “Jews will not replace us,” I never would have ended up where I am today. Read more …

This is the transcription by V. S. of the Q&A session after Jonathan Bowden’s lecture on Martin Heidegger, which has recently been published in Extremists: Studies in Metapolitics. — Greg Johnson

The Future Is White

Quintilian

707 words

The Left is a dangerous consortium of perverts and violence-prone shallow thinkers, but it is also an assemblage of the ridiculous. There is something that is just very funny about a mestizo flaunting his illegal status during a television interview who is shocked when he is deported, Read more …

On Thursday, August 17th, Counter-Currents was told to find a new web host. We have now secured a new host, migrated the site there, and tested it. Soon, your Counter-Currents links will be pointed to the new server, but there may be some downtime over the weekend, since it takes a while for the domain pointing to propagate through the Web.

Yes, Virginia, There Is a White Culture

Quintilian

752 words

The Left lies, it lies about everything, and it lies all the time. One of the most egregious lies of the Left is that, while negroes and mestizos are said to have their own racially-identifiable cultures, white people do not possess a uniquely white culture. The disingenuousness of this lie is exacerbated by the Left viewing negroes and mestizos as cultural monoliths while treating whites as a collection of disparate ethnic entities.

In the first part, we examined the concept of the Kali Yuga and its parallel in A Song of Ice and Fire, The Long Night. In this part, we will cover the Stark family, who sits at the core of the fantasy saga.

General Lee Rides Again

Veiko Hessler

1,136 words

All across America a great iconoclasm is happening. What started with murmurs of disapproval and the banishing of suspect symbols has become an out and out torrent of rage against collective memory. In towns and cities across the South, Confederate monuments that have stood in their silent watch for a century or more are being dismantled and removed in the dead of night by cowardly municipal councils hoping to appease the howling mob.

Postmodernism vs. Identity, Part 2
Identity vs. Irony

Part 2 of 2 (Part 1 here; Hungarian translation here)

Author’s Note:

The following text is the basis of a talk that I gave to the Scandza Forum in Oslo on July 1, 2017. Because time was short, however, I dispensed with the written text and spoke extemporaneously on the topic. I also gave an earlier, stand-alone version of this section on irony as a talk in Budapest on June 21, 2017

This Means War

Jef Costello

The US is Already Worse than the USSR:
A Reponse to Spencer Quinn

Alex Kirillov

904 words

I would like to take a moment to briefly respond to Spencer Quinn’s excellent letter to Terry McAuliffe. In Werner Herzog’s 1977 film Stroszek the protagonist, Bruno S., gives an account of the difference he had experienced between living in a National Socialist-run orphanage and living in America. In the orphanage, if a boy wet the bed he was forced to stand in the sun, holding the sheet until it dried. Read more …

Become My Patron at Hatreon

242 words

“Hatreon” is like Patreon but for the “haters” who are being purged from Patreon as part of the vast ongoing deplatforming of white advocates and dissident Rightists. Hatreon helps creative dissidents enjoy steady, predictable incomes from patrons who make monthly pledges of support.

Last week, PayPal purged Counter-Currents, canceling the monthly donations that, quite frankly, keep us going. Read more …

Cutting to the Quick

1,655 words

I have always found that honest people, right or wrong, like to cut to the quick. If something requires an explanation, a sentence or two ought to do it. The answer must be direct, sensible, and, most importantly, interesting.

Here are a few examples:

Most boxing fans take it for granted that the black American heavyweight Joe Louis had been the top contender when he fought Jimmy Braddock for the title in 1937. Read more …

Editor’s Note:

It is a little-known — but entirely unsurprising — fact that Samuel Francis had a deep love and encyclopedic knowledge of H. P. Lovecraft. In honor of Lovecraft’s birthday, here is Francis’ review of S. T. Joshi’s H. P. Lovecraft: A Life and Lovecraft’s Miscellaneous Writings. — Greg Johnson

Unite the Right Did Nothing Wrong
(But There’s Still Room for Improvement)

1,623 words

Well, the unity didn’t last long. Immediately after Unite the Right, those who did not participate started attacking the speakers and organizers. For instance, Katie McHugh and AntiDem have used Unite the Right as a pretext to attack Richard Spencer. Now the speakers and organizers are blaming and disavowing one another. Richard Spencer, Eli Mosley, and Baked Alaska, for example, have disavowed Jason Kessler over a tweet about Heather Heyer, who joined the violent mob that attacked Unite the Right and died as a result.
