It was Twelve Years ago today that Counter-Currents went online. That first month, we had 6,145 unique visitors. Last month, we had more than 750,000 visits and more than 300,000 unique visitors. Since 2010, Counter-Currents has published more than 10,000 articles, reviews, and other items. We have also published more than 80 books.

From the start, Counter-Currents aimed at creating an Anglophone version of the European New Right, but since English is now the lingua franca, our audience has always been global. Our aim is to promote the metapolitical conditions for white identity politics around the world.

Counter-Currents is about everything, from a white point of view. We believe that race-conscious whites are the legitimate heirs of European culture and the legitimate representatives of our race’s interests in the political realm. Thus our field of combat is culture, history, and fundamental ideas, which we bring to bear on the crises of our times. 

It feels like I was writing about our eleventh birthday just the other day. Maybe it is just me, but it seems like time is accelerating. The last twelve years have been a time of enormous growth and opportunities. There’s no question that white identity politics is on the rise.

• A new YouGov poll reports that 73% of Trump voters believe that the Great Replacement is happening.
• A recent SPLC poll reports similar numbers: 67% of Republicans polled believe their lying eyes that whites are being replaced by nonwhites, as a matter of government policy
• Robert Wallace’s viral article “America Is Ready for White Identity Politics” summarizes other polls pointing in the same direction.

The Left and the fake opposition, of course, are apoplectic. But their efforts at censoring, containing, and diverting us have failed to stop the spread of our ideas. It must feel bad to control all the leading institutions of society and to still be losing this badly.

Our enemies knew there would be a backlash, which is why they created the false conservative and libertarian opposition to contain it. But it didn’t work too well. They didn’t anticipate Trump. They didn’t anticipate the rise of the online Dissident Right.

Now that the backlash is here, they are unable to stop it, because they are unable to stop themselves. Their response to rising awareness of the Great Replacement is simply to accelerate the Great Replacement. But that is merely accelerating the backlash. You can’t operate a car without brakes. The same goes for politics. But for the Left, it is pedal to the metal, to the end.

This won’t end well . . . for them. But our people will crawl out of the globalist wreckage and start white civilization anew, and our movement will be there to remember and avoid the previous mistakes. Counter-Currents, and the best of our movement, are in this for the long haul. Our plans are measured in centuries, so we need to build institutions that will last for centuries.

Toward that end, since the beginning of 2021, Counter-Currents has made a number of important improvements:

• We launched our new website.
• We launched our Paywall, which is grown into a vibrant (in the good sense) community of commenters and supporters.
• We launched the Jonathan Bowden Archive and the redesigned and reinvigorated Savitri Devi Archive.
• We hired two full-time staff people: Cyan Quinn, our Program Director, and Robert Wallace, our Community Development Director. Together with our Webmaster and the rest of our team, they have rebuilt Counter-Currents into a well-oiled machine for propagating our ideas and expanding our community.
• Most importantly, we are building a professionally staffed policy institute that aims to transform our metapolitical gains into political change.

But it all depends upon you, dear reader. Counter-Currents, like all advocates of dissident ideas, depends upon the generosity of readers like you to survive and thrive. If you are a past donor, welcome back. If you are contemplating making your first donation, do it in thanks to the past donors that made it possible for you to find Counter-Currents, and pay it forward so others can experience the same delight in discovery.
