Southern writing may be the last American literature in that it has retained a true Anglo-Saxon base in terms of its authors, themes, and relation to history — specifically, white history.

Donna Tartt’s The Little Friend, published in 2015 and winning a justly-earned Pulitzer Prize for best novel, has a real command of writing, and her prose is a roller coaster dipping and rising from sad to exuberant that keeps you reading. (more…)

There is nothing that I write or say that will alter events in Ukraine. Additionally, I have no real inside knowledge of events on the ground. This entire article is based on what I’ve read in the press, at The Institute for the Study of War, and in unclassified Rand Corporation reports. Nonetheless, I still think I’ve got a solid understanding of the situation. (more…)

A train carrying vinyl chloride, a toxic chemical used to make plastic pipes, cable coating, and packaging, derailed in East Palestine, Ohio on February 3, spilling five tankers full of the substance. Emergency crews burned the remaining contents to prevent an explosion, prompting an evacuation of over 2,000 residents. (more…)

“Parallelomania” is a term used in the study of history and religion. It entails ascribing a significant relationship between two works of scripture, myth, or literature simply because they parallel each other in some way. These parallels can be trivial or taken out of context, or a scholar can proclaim that such works share a common source or a causal link without any direct evidence. In either case, coincidence and other factors are ruled out. A great example is insisting there was a worldwide pre-historic flood because several ancient cultures had flood myths.

In keeping with the spirit of parallelomania, I will now proclaim that Robin DiAngelo and Greg Johnson occupy opposite sides of the same coin. (more…)

I was recently sitting in the examination room at a medical clinic with a relative who is undergoing treatment for an aggressive form of cancer. While waiting for the oncologist to enter, my attention shifted to an LCD display on the wall that was showing a promotional video, featuring the drugs used to treat various forms of cancer. With each specific one that appeared, the scrolling would pause momentarily and show a visual with the name of the drug that is used to treat it, a large photograph of a presumably typical patient, and an invitation to follow up for additional drug information.

11. In addition to being prominent Holocaust revisionists, both you and your mentor, David McCalden, were outspoken atheists. Through people like Michael Shermer, you also had some engagement with the “skeptic” (as atheists were branding themselves at the time) scene. These were the 1990s equivalent of the people we now refer to as “fedora tippers.” (more…)

Brett, aka Brianna (last name unknown)

1,531 words

Last Saturday afternoon at a public park east of Manchester in northern England, a 16-year-old male whose first name at birth was “Brett” died from multiple stab wounds. I don’t know Brett’s legal surname at the moment, because the press has refrained from reporting it.

At some point — from what I am able to infer from news reports, it was less than a year ago — Brett decided that his name was “Brianna” and declared that he was a female rather than a male. (more…)

The subject of emergency preparedness is varied and complex. Actionable items will depend on what kind of disaster you’re preparing for and your individual circumstances. Maybe you live on a farm in Montana and want your large family to be ready in case you’re holed up during severe snowstorms. (more…)

Part 1 of 2 (Part 2 here)

David Cole (YouTube, Substack) is a man who needs no introduction to Counter-Currents readers. But just in case Ann Coulter tweets this out to her millions of normie fans (she’s one of Cole’s most enthusiastic supporters), I should probably write an introduction.

Whether you love him or hate him, you’ve got to admit that David Cole has had one hell of a life. (more…)

Few things are as mentally refreshing as looking at the world from a completely different perspective — to see things through the eyes of someone you don’t like and don’t agree with at all. If nothing else, it helps you sort out your own thoughts. (more…)

Counter-Currents is pleased to premiere a new video presenting Greg Johnson’s classic essay “American Ethnic Identity,” which argues that the American melting pot has in fact created a unique new white ethnicity rather than a generic, nondescript white man, as some critics assert. (more…)

I hated being wicked, but I was tricked and cheated. I am truly sorry for it, but what could a poor girl do? — Henry Mayhew, interview with a street beggar, London Labour and the London Poor

But what can a poor boy do? — The Rolling Stones, “Street Fighting Man”

History has always troubled me. I don’t mean the grand Hegelian sweep of the past; that would be enough to trouble anyone. I mean the fact that I know so little about it. Not the kings and queens of England and the Ottoman Empire and the battles, but the minutiae — the lives of the little people. (more…)
