On Monday, April 12th, Counter-Currents will be extending special privileges to those who donate $120 or more per year.
- First, donor comments will appear immediately instead of waiting in a moderation queue. (People who abuse this privilege will lose it.)
- Second, donors will have immediate access to all Counter-Currents posts. Non-donors will find that one post a day, five posts a week will be behind a “paywall” and will be available to the general public after 30 days.
As an incentive to act now, everyone who joins the paywall between now and Monday, April 12th will receive a free paperback copy of Greg Johnson’s next book, The Year America Died.

Robinson Jeffers’ poem “The Purse-Seine” expresses the same vision of L.A.
Really this is all about Whites staying away from blacks primarily and a lesser extent beaners, while Anti Whites try to force integrate for the purposes of erasing Whites.
It says it’s 1:58:57 long but the download is only 1 hour long.
Fixed, case of copypasta syndrome
Cities dismantled their excellent public transportation systems – chiefly, trolly cars – during the late 1940s and 50s at the behest of auto manufacturers. Adding to this trend was Eisenhower returning from Europe so impressed with the German Autobahn that he initiated a national interstate program. But the highway beds weren’t pored as deeply as the Germans had done, so they are poorer quality. Cities already had old and lovely suburbs. Neighborhoods built after WWII didn’t have sidewalks. So not only could folks not hop on the streetcar, they couldn’t even walk. Racial integration and white flight started the trend toward sprawl, and the ensuing donut cities.
Heading for the cities to improve civilization is a good idea if the actually existing cities contain a credible promise that young Whites will be able to form families and those families will still be White, sane, and healthy in three generations.
If heading for the cities means young Whites will have a hard time forming families, and if the multi-racial environment means that one’s children may be in danger and one’s grandchildren may be mulattoes, Whites heading for the cities is an extremely bad idea.
It won’t even work with the calculation that Whites will be adulterated and destroyed but it will be worth it because cities are valuable and the White race is not. We’ve tried that. It doesn’t work. We are destroyed and the cities become horrible anyway.
This was a very nice and informative podcast, but I did not hear anything that addressed and changed that reality.
Consider a nice, non-conflict oriented young White woman with babies on her knee and a White husband who cares about her and will listen to her fears. Will she ask for her babies and herself to be fed into the screaming multi-racial meat-grinder? Why would she ask for that?
I think White people will continue to flee to Whitopia, further on down the road. I don’t think that will stop and go into reverse. I think it will speed up.
Great discussion, lads.
Many/most on the normie right and even many on the alt right are completely allergic to discussions around quality of life, place, livability. They have been propagandized to believe that cities are inherently evil and only auto-dependent bland suburbs are the most ‘modern’ form of living.
No great public spaces, no transit except for indigent, no architectural beauty or diversity, big boxes as their ‘safe space’.
One way to understand which cities are livable and which arent is: when did they have their growth spurt? Pre-automobile or post? NYC, NOLA, SF, Philadelphia, Savannah, Boston– pre. LA, Atl, Miami/ft ld, Houston, Dallas, anywhere/nowhere cities like these: post.
I really hope the right can see having great cities as neccessary for having a great nation. Whites abandoned the cities (for rational reasons, to be fair) instead of standing and fighting. Now they are anti-white cultural Marxist, anarcho-tyranny hell holes. Nonetheless, bland and unlivable suburbs are not healthy in the least, they rob us of human connection, plug us into a globalist commercial monster, and are physically and spiritually unhealthy.
Perhaps someday I could come on the show and engage in this discussion. So very important.
I am sympathetic to the idea of livable cities and although I enjoy visiting them, I don’t want to live in one, because I want lots of space between me and my neighbors.
Livable cities require people to live in apartments and everyone should acknowledge that in any such apartment there are going to be people who make your life miserable. The industrious and terrible cook, whose foul orders permeate everything. The President of the Metallica fan club with the gigantic stereo system that he blasts after midnight.
Can we at least acknowledge this terrible side of livable cities?
For me to live with space around me necessitates a car and I’m not going to give it up. Fight me!
Absolutely, you have nothing to worry about. We have a TON of suburban housing/development, and once it’s there it’s there for a long, long time, as with all infrastructure.
What I am more focused on is investing our time and energy into having these denser, walkable cities as an option as well. But for that to be a real option for whites, at this point, we would have to engage in some pretty unsavory urban politics. It’s much easier to just build further and further out, where there are less regulations, land is cheaper, and you dont have to deal with the political issues that plague our once-great cities.
There are costs to abandoning the cities that our ancestors built, though. Not easily quantifiable, more about the quality of life. Some will prefer suburban living no matter how much they have to drive, or how expensive gas gets, or how fat they get from sedentary lifestyle. That’s fine– we’ve built a lot for them.
What I want is for us to fight for our great cities, over time, and retake them. Perhaps itll never happen, idk. I certainly am engaged in the battle as much as I can be.
Your content cannot justify a $10 a month paywall, not in my mind anyway. TRS is pushing it st $10 a month and they have way more than you.
We are putting five items a week behind the paywall.
Counter-Currents isn’t for everyone, and I am not sure it is productive to compare it to TRS, since I don’t think there is much overlap in our audiences.
