I believe that, in the final analysis, ideas — not economics, not technology, not brute force — are the decisive factor in history . . . — Greg Johnson’s “Rules for Writers”

Ideas are the absolute foundation of any healthy society. Here at Counter-Currents, we offer a clear ideological foundation for pro-white political activity. Furthermore, we actively promote a love for our cultural heritage through birthday commemorations, pop culture reviews, and community activities. At over two million pageviews per month last summer, no other political webzine and publisher shares both our reach and our philosophical depth.

We owe it to you, our contributors, for making this possible.

Please enjoy a small sampling of our authors’ personal stories, below. They explain how they came to the conclusion that white identity politics is moral, necessary, and inevitable — and why they dedicate themselves to writing for you, too.

The reason why I write for Counter-Currents is simple. More than any other dissident Right publication, it possesses the vitality and vision needed to reach the minds of intelligent young white people. I myself am proof of this. I came across Counter-Currents at the age of 14, and it would be difficult to overstate the impact that it had on me during my adolescence . . .  — Alex Graham, “The Education of a White Nationalist”

Since I was a small child I have felt that I had to devote my life to something tremendously important. This is it. You are looking at it. — Jef Costello, “Why I Write”

I came to realize that there is indeed a meaning to things. This meaning is something that is transmitted to us by our great predecessors in culture, knowledge, and achievement — and which is specific to the people who share in the blood of that culture, both figuratively and literally . . . So what I was responding to in the works of the great thinkers of my people wasn’t just a personal one; it was also an inner recognition that my heart was in some way the same as the hearts which had beaten within the breasts of those such as Wagner, Goethe, and Blake. — John Morgan, “What Does it All Mean?”

I believe that much of the dissident Right is about this rightward shift from race-realism to race identity to understanding the Jews. We start with biological truth, move to political truths, and then finally to forbidden truths. It’s not about hate or revenge, of course. It’s about identity. People must have identity of some sort — a way to differentiate themselves from others — or else they face swift extinction. – Spencer J. Quinn, “The Red-Pilling of Spencer Quinn”
