As you probably already know, the “Left wing” versus “Right wing” political chasm first appeared when it cracked through the French National Assembly during the Revolution of 1789, when defenders of France’s monarchy and the Catholic faith positioned themselves on the right side of the Assembly, and supporters of the republican revolutionaries aligned themselves on the left side. The most technically correct and pedantic definition of “Right wing”, therefore, is a political system or ideology which favors hierarchy, aristocracy, monarchy, tradition, and Catholicism. (more…)

For years I worked as police reporter for the Washington Times, spending long hours in squad cars in various cities getting to know cops well. Now I listen to nice white people in the suburbs, and self-assured voices from National Public Radio (NPR), talking about the police. They know nothing of the world where the police work. (more…)

Travis LeBlanc dropped a lot of wisdom and perspective on us regarding the Second World War and the Jewish Holocaust in two recent essays for Counter-Currents. Judging from the comments in response to them, it seems the Counter-Currents readership is well aware of this and appreciates his efforts. I certainly do. Although he expressed a fair number of historical opinions regarding the world wars, his main thrust was to discourage what he calls “spergery,” or how the excessive, specialized interest in the Second World War among dissidents can quickly drive a political movement into the weeds. Or even cause it to crack up altogether through absurd purity spiraling: (more…)

In the early 1980s I was involved with the startup of a “humor magazine” that never went anywhere after its colorful-but-vague pilot issue. Apart from a couple of National Lampoon veterans, we were mostly post-collegiate types, full of quirky, off-the-wall ideas from our own days at colorful-but-vague college humor mags. It was around this time that one of my colleagues mentioned, as a bit of curious arcana, that he had heard that somewhere out there was a racist humor magazine. (more…)

Today is Dominique Venner’s eighty-ninth birthday, and this year is the eleventh anniversary of Dominique Venner’s dramatic suicide at the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, which he carried out as a protest against the degradation of the traditional family’s central importance as well as the demographic replacement of European man, and to indicate what we must be prepared to give to save our people: everything. On that day, Counter-Currents published English translations of Venner’s last post to his website, “The May 26 Protests and Heidegger,” as well as his suicide note, “The Reasons for a Voluntary Death.” (more…)

Der Krieger und der Stadtstaat
English version here, also Portuguese, Spanish
Übersetzt von Le Fauconnier.
Als die Napoleonischen Kriege 1814 endeten, schrieb der prominente Schriftsteller Benjamin Constant erleichtert: “Wir sind im Zeitalter des Handels angekommen, einem Zeitalter, das notwendigerweise das Zeitalter des Krieges ersetzen muss, so wie das Zeitalter des Krieges notwendigerweise vorangehen musste.” Naiver Benjamin! Er griff die weit verbreitete Vorstellung von einem unbestimmten Fortschritt auf, der den Frieden zwischen Menschen und Nationen fördert. (more…)

O. J. Simpson: 1947-2024
Up until June 12, 1994, white America was convinced that O. J. Simpson was “one of the good ones.” When it turned out that he wasn’t — and that black America supported him, anyway — race relations took a permanent turn for the worse.
June 12 is my birthday and, possibly overdosing on cake, I’d fallen asleep in my Hollywood apartment around dusk, only to be rustled from slumber by my first wife, who shook me awake to say, “Jimmy — O.J. Simpson murdered his wife.” (more…)

Civil War: based or cringe? That is the million-dollar question.
Your gut tells you that because it is a Hollywood film, it will be an evil MAGAs versus virtuous libtards cringefest with lots of woke anti-white messaging. Yet, part of you holds out hope that maybe it will be unintentionally based. Jews will sometimes screw up and accidentally create Right-wing anti-heroes such as Archie Bunker or Michael Douglas’ character in Falling Down. Maybe there will be some Right-wing villain who delivers nationalist monologues that are meant to come off as ominous to normies but which sounds perfectly sensible to the red-pilled viewer. (more…)

Doxed: The Political Lynching of a Southern Cop
Columbia, S. C.: Shotwell Publishing, 2024“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. — Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals
The modern phenomenon of “doxing,” or publicizing personal information about private citizens, is one of the most dastardly and yet effective tactics of the modern Communist movement. (more…)

Part 2 of 2 (Part 1 here)
[The present constitutional crisis over slavery] embraces the fearful issue whether the Union shall stand, and slavery, under the steady, peaceful action of moral, social, and political causes, be removed by gradual voluntary effort, and with compensation; or whether the Union shall be dissolved and civil war ensue . . . — William H. Seward, speech to the US Senate, 1850
Their vices are vices aped from white men, or that white men and bondage have taught them: improvidence and intemperance and evasion — and laziness . . . Promiscuity. (more…)

Jim Goad has produced a short film to accompany his latest essay, “The Woman-Punching MAGAts of Manhattan,” on a journalist who contends that the men who are punching random white women on the streets of New York City are MAGA supporters — without a shred of corroborating evidence and a great deal of contradictory evidence.
