1. Our 2020 Fundraiser

This year, Counter-Currents is struggling once again to make our annual fundraiser goal of $300,000. Thanks to our many generous donors, we are now at $218,161.92. Thank you.

The glass is 72.7% full. With the amount that has come in, I am confident that Counter-Currents will be able to do more of what we have done in 2024. But I’m afraid I am fixated on the 27.3% that remains empty. I’d be perfectly content with just doing more of the same, if I weren’t so ambitious. (more…)

I’m sure that Dissident Right interest in the latest distaff-themed, PG-rated musical hitting the cinemas is fairly tepid. If there is interest at all, it may be in how Jon M. Chu’s Wicked: Part 1, which was adapted from the musical Wicked, ranks on Spencer J. Quinn’s famous cringe scale. Does this fabulous monstrosity achieve a skin-crawling, apocalyptic 10? Or a refreshingly banal goose egg? (more…)

It is ironic that Virginia’s expansive ethno-culture [1] benefits from complex commercial activity and global trade while being damaged by the same. Virginia’s main early money-making venture was the tobacco trade, which needed a large and complicated system of finance and commerce before a single penny could be made. (more…)

President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shake hands during a joint press conference, Monday, Feb. 13, 2017. (Official White House Photo by Shealah Craighead)

There is a glimmer of hope here in the north amid the crushing misery. Even though the president-elect has yet to be formally inaugurated, the Donald J. Trump effect has had a wide-ranging political and metapolitical impact like the blast wave from a colossal high explosive detonation. When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was summoned to Mar-A-Lago last month, Trump quite rightly threatened little potato Trudeau with 25% tariffs on all Canadian goods if he did not get his house in order as far as immigration, security, drug trafficking, and defence spending were concerned. The weighty message sent Trudeau into panic mode, which will soon bring down his disastrous reign. (more…)

Victorian children would play a game, perhaps on rainy days, called “hunt the thimble”, in which just such an object was hidden in a room, and competitors would race to be the first to find it. The only rule was that the thimble had to be hidden in plain sight. Today’s children are doubtless too busy slaying zombies for such a charming parlor-game, but they needn’t be concerned. The adults are playing it for them. (more…)

Paul Theroux

Part 1, Part 2

There is more to recommend in Paul Theroux’s African travelogues Dark Star Safari (2002) and The Last Train to Zona Verde (2013) than their comprehensive yet tacit uncovering of racial truths. Yes, race realism is both everywhere and nowhere in these books. (more…)

Phenomenology as Gelassenheit

In our previous installment, we discussed at length Heidegger’s conception of Gelassenheit: “letting beings be” or letting things be “in their restful repose.” A question may have occurred to the reader: how exactly is Gelassenheit reached? What exactly does one do in order to achieve it? (more…)

Since Paul Theroux never stayed for long in one place while writing his African travelogues, the act of traveling itself takes up much ink in Dark Star Safari (2002) and The Last Train to Zona Verde (2013). Thus, the train becomes the leitmotif which connects both works. Theroux treats it as a symbol of the swollen, arthritic nexus between the West and modern Africa—magnificent in design, ambitious in scope, and but now timeworn, barely relevant, and poorly maintained by the indigenous population. In Dark Star, Theroux visits the grand and still-functioning railway station in Maputo, Mozambique, which was designed by the Portuguese in 1910. (more…)
