The singer Édith Piaf famously, and throatily, regretted nothing about anything. But the poet John Betjeman wished that he’d had more sex. And the economist John Maynard Keynes that he’d drunk more champagne. Me? I regret two things much more important than recreational sex or champagne. (more…)

Whenever the topic of white supremacy comes up among normies, we should always ask the question, “Which do you prefer: white supremacy or non-white supremacy?” Of course, given such a stark choice, most polite company will search for a third option. “Why do we need racial supremacy at all? Why can’t we have a society in which people of all races are treated equally?” That sounds nice, but we should point out that this is clearly not the goal of the Left — especially the non-white Left.

I’m only halfway to paradise,
So near, yet so far away. [1]As far as I know, the blackest people in the world, the Dinka of Sudan, harbor little, if any, systematic dislike for people of unmistakably European descent. Likewise, the most mongoloid of Mongoloid peoples, who, mirabile dictu, are usually found in Mongolia, seem to be entirely free of systematic animus against the Fair Folk of planet Earth. (more…)

Three readers have asked me to comment on the current state of “the movement.” As Counter-Currents enters our twelfth year, I think it is an appropriate time for such a discussion. In fact, I’ll make it an annual tradition, since I intend to be around for many years to come.
All three readers think the movement is in a malaise. (more…)

Part I here, Part II here, Part III here, Part IV here, Part V here

Demographic collapse and deindustrialization are truly deadly threats, but their effects manifest themselves gradually.

To get a better sense of what the Left is all about with the relentless labeling of any and all opposition as “racist,” “fascist,” “proponents of hatred,” etc., and to try to understand how language in the service of ideology has become so corrupted, it might be helpful to consider the notion of “performative utterances” (hereafter, performatives) as developed by J. L. Austin, a British language philosopher from the last century. (more…)

Did you know that whites invented homosexuality, transgenderism, rape, lesbianism, feminism, and all other forms of perversion? Neither did I, but my eyes have been opened by the insightful new documentary film Buck Breaking, produced by Tariq Nasheed.
