2. The Counter-Currents 2025 Fundraiser
Our fundraiser total now stands at $83,953.89. Once again, my sincere thanks to all who have helped. But we are still a long way from our goal of $300,000 and still more than $17,000 behind where we were at the same time last year ($101,916.04). Generally, the rule is that 50% of fundraising happens in the last quarter of the year. Which means that we are not likely to meet our goal unless we get to $150,000 by the end of the month. Let’s try to make that happen!
There are many ways to donate to Counter-Currents, but the easiest is with an e-check donation. All you need is your checkbook.
You can explore all your donation options on our Donate page.
3. Your Chance to Own a Piece of Meme History
Note: There are still a few copies left.
The “Happy Merchant” is the most famous cartoon since Mickey Mouse. Its creator, A. Wyatt Mann, has been drawing cartoons for decades. People have been copying, adapting, and merchandising his work for years, but he was not in it for the money. He did it for the sheer joy of creation and the fun of mocking politically correct sacred cows.
A. Wyatt Mann has now released a limited edition of 100 signed, numbered, high-quality prints of the Happy Merchant at $200 each.
Each print is accompanied by a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity which is another original A. Wyatt Mann artwork.
These prints are selling fast and will become sought after collectors’ items. Be sure to order yours today right here: https://mygallery.art/product/happy-merchant-prints/
In addition to offering these limited edition prints, Mann’s website also includes a vast and growing collection of various merchant memes, merchant art by fans, and particularly subversive hidden merchant memes. There’s even an exclusive interview with A. Wyatt Mann inthe biography section: https://awyattmann.com/
Thank you again for your loyal readership and generous support.

I’m going to try to follow along live for the first time ever because a) I don’t want to wait to hear you and b) wife is out of town. Also I can’t believe there are any more Merchants left. I love mine. Er, mine, I love. Whatever.
Thanks, see you later!
The war is on for the canonization of Charlie Kirk. And yet I notice certain formerly relevant alt-righters are countersignalling Kirk for being a zio-shill.
This is idiocy. And a lesson in the perils of becoming chained to a niche audience and/or letting target fixation make you stupid.
All the points Johnson covered about Kirk’s evolution in his essay posted 9/11 have to be amplified. Kirk-as-seeker-after-truth, the truth of our ideas, is the frame. Not Kirk as happy warrior, Kirk as boomlet conservative, and certainly not Kirk-as-zio-shell.
“An attack on one is an attack on all.” – old activist slogan.
There are those on the Right who think that they can distance themselves from Charlie Kirk, but the Left will not allow you to distance yourself from Charlie Kirk. To the Left, it’s all one big rightwing club and you are in the party whether you got an invite or not.
Today, things appear to be breaking lose with mass national-populist demonstrations breaking out across the globe. Britain, Ireland, France, Germany, Australia. Even the South Koreans are marching for Charlie Kirk. Solidarity is the key, not purity spiraling over boutique issues. Time to make some history.
Pas d’ennemis à droite.
Charlie Kirk will have more of an impact in death than in life; this was the final wakeup call and even the laggards know that we are in a war and it’s war to the knife, which is a change that is inestimable. Also, in addition to Chauvin and the McMichaels Trump should pardon James Fields. Nothing could send a clearer message that we simply don’t care what they think anymore.
Unfortunately, the release of James Fields would require a federal assault on a state government, because he wasn’t convicted in Federal court. Not that this would necessarily be a bad thing. I’m just saying it’s not going to happen.
This was a great show, among the best you’ve ever done. This has been an awful week and you made me feel better.
Thanks, we had a good panel and good questions.
Good show ; I love the different takes.
Charlie Kirk Quite Literally Saved My Life
Charlie Kirk Quite Literally Saved My Life
This is an interesting video not only because of the title , but because she is very sincere and, while not stupid, she is simple in her presentation . It’s possible that many can look down on people like this woman and Kirk for not believing everything we would want them to believe (white nationalism, jq, etc). But her story is fascinating , and I had no idea there were people like her; I’m gen X and just never paid attention to people this much younger than I. If I’m honest I probably picked up a bit of the “kids these days” attitude my silent gen parents had towards my peers: they are not as hard working , they are spoiled .
Let’s be honest, single women are a disaster, and she claims ck was the ahem turning point in her life now she’s a stay at home mom. I have no idea what she is talking about being a gamer or a egirl tik tocker, but don’t you want more women like this in the us? I sure do.
And she credits the whole normy republican thing; the thing I hate, the thing we hate because they arnt based enough. They don’t tik enough based boxes.
I don’t think we can live with blacks and foreigners and Jews; but jeepers it looks like ck was doing a hell of a lot more good than I was giving that crowd credit for. She names Matt Walsh as even more of an influence.
My point is that she was headed in a direction that would have made her the nasty women that we all know too well. Single and bitter. And she claims that it was Ck that tuened her into a woman WE, the far right, want her to be: a stay at home mom.
The other thing she brings up was a real respect for calm and open debate. Now ck won’t debate us; fine, BUT this girl seems to put his willingness to debate the lefty crazies as a major influence on her too. Iow, ck could have been starting a trend of debate that could include us in the future. Then we could hash everything out. Maybe that’s a possible outcome of his murder, the coolness factor of debate, which is why I love the far right becuae I don’t get cancelled here. Maybe that openness to debate will get more popular. Jeepers. I remember growing up that was what was SUPPOSE to separate us from the ussr. Well that and blue jeans.
Anyway, interesting times.

Je suis Charlie.
It also remind me of how Thomas Rousseau won over that fight back guy and got a lot of attention through him. Rousseau is very articulate and I bet he could debate really well if he started practicing. Hes young much younger than even ck. His group doesn’t just do marches they do charity work disaster aid. I think and I could be wrong that’s how the fight back guy heard about Rousseau and pf back during the North Carolina thing. Rousseau said, I’m banned from every social media platform that matters so the irl events get us in attention.
the marches you could say are a little gay; but they do say to young men we are not going to be pushed out of the spaces our ancestors built for us by antifa or other para govnt goons. And that takes order and practice etc. if I was 20 years younger pf would have attracted me because they are not cowering before these revolutionaries.
when St. George died and the riots began I thought this is a coup in a way. This blm stuff will take over the govnt and in a way it did. The millions of brown invaders that came in, the victory of taking down dozens if not hundreds of our statues is a real victory for the left . So pf marching into enemy territory is a symbol.
in that way I think pf could be valuable I don’t know time will tell. It’s very cheesy but sometimes that works.
That’s true – the Long Hot Summer of Floyd was indeed a key element in the “color revolution” of 2020.
Thank you for posting the link.
“I have no idea what she is talking about being a gamer or a egirl tik tocker, but don’t you want more women like this in the us? I sure do.”
Essentially, she was on a path that leads young women toward online prostitution.
“And she credits the whole normy republican thing; the thing I hate, the thing we hate because they arnt based enough. They don’t tik enough based boxes.”
I think making the perfect the enemy of good, is a very common mistake of many of us who are pro-White, & understand the JP.
“My point is that she was headed in a direction that would have made her the nasty women that we all know too well. Single and bitter. And she claims that it was Ck that tuened her into a woman WE, the far right, want her to be: a stay at home mom.”
It can not be overstated the amazing effect that marrying and creating a family of your own can have. You get to become the parent you wished you’d had. SAHMs are *essential* for raising kids who will eventually have to swim defensively through a sea of mentally-ill & evil people every day. And getting into a traditional lifestyle, feels very natural & instinctive, & team-oriented, as opposed to manufactured boys vs girls liberalism.
“The other thing she brings up was a real respect for calm and open debate.”
When I was in high school, and later on, within a counseling session, the same ‘debate’ technique (for truth discovery & problem solving) was used: Have your opponent give 3 reasons favoring your viewpoint. And then you do the same for his point of view.
For more encouragement that liberal women can & do occasionally move to the pro-White, JQ’d right, listen to Greg Johnson’s interview with Leonarda Jonie. Choosing to perform as a stand-up comic is arguably a fairly masculine career choice, and yet *ideologically* she is traditional, not liberal.

This is interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I watched it again; it’s close but not enough. Even our wives need to be on board with race consciousness. I could totally see this girl saying , one race the human race as long as we don’t have abortion or trannies breathing down our necks.
call me another bachelor falling for the cute egirl!!!
On an individual level, this woman had the right mindset. And her use of the word “tradition “ is encouraging. But the greater society needs to support the individual and the family and can’t undermine it which is what liberalism seems to be the best at.
So, she’s got the individual/family more or less right. A woman staying at home with he children and vocally supporting her husband and questioning women working and earning money for themselves .
But once she is there, in this individualistic/family “trad” mindset she may notice her neighborhood becoming unsafe. She may see in Iryna he daughter; and begin to think racially. That might lead her so look at how these neighborhoods became unsafe and why her family have been pushed out into the bland suburbs from cities that use to look like her and her family but now are occupied by hostile, low strangers.
so in way, while not sufficient , it’s a good place for her to be for what the far right is ultimately asking for.
The Kirk assassination has further reminded me of why I’ve distanced myself from certain elements of the “dissident” right, or “alt-right” or whatever you wish to call it.
I could understand why some people widely criticized him while alive for some of his stances on various issues, particularity Zionism. That is reasonable. After all, if the man is alive, criticizing his views creates an opportunity to convince him to changes them.
But the man is dead now. Nobody will change his views, and his followers have lost their leader. This is the time to take control of the narrative and help his martyrdom, not hinder it. All these tone-deaf criticisms are going to accomplish is to “gate-keep” the far right from the center-right. And I’m going to go on record as saying that a sizable number of far-right personalities are, in fact, the gate-keepers that they accused Kirk of being, only in the opposite direction. Self-ghettoization lives on.
Drop the pointless criticism, take control of the narrative. Fucking win.
“All these tone-deaf criticisms are going to accomplish is to “gate-keep” the far right from the center-right.” ?
If a former nationalist ever moved to a, “We just need to vote harder. Let’s place our faith in our current failed system,” position, that would be a first.
That’s not what I meant by that comment. What I mean is, those to the right of Charlie Kirk become so hamstrung by their positions that they alienate themselves from more moderate people and forget how to read the the room. We don’t win by locking ourselves into our bedrooms and turning out the lights. We have to be able to engage people. And that has nothing to do with voting moar harder.
I agree. My sense, though, is that the self-ghettoizers are discrediting themselves by making themselves increasingly repugnant.
This is true, but today, even Ron Unz chose to amplify Michael Tracy’s tweets (hardly a right winger) that downplay Kirk as a propagandist who took all his cues from the White House. He dug up the lukewarm Epstein tweets that Kirk made about moving on and trusting the plan. (Valid critiques while he was alive). Unz also republished Anglin’s septic tank take on things. I’ll repeat my point. For us, nothing Kirk may have opposed us on matters anymore. He’s a valuable symbol of leftist extremism that opens the door for our ideas rather than shoving them out if we play it right. Playing it right doesn’t mean standing on a street corner like a homeless schizophrenic rambling about Kirk’s negatives. Not when the people we’re most likely to impact actually love the man.
At this point, I urge people to read my essay on the death of Queen Elizabeth. https://counter-currents.com/2022/09/queen-of-the-world/ The people who are mourning Kirk are our natural audience. Best, then, for us not to act like the antifa crazies who killed him.
Bingo. The far left is actually much bigger than “us”. It is at least 30%, probably more like 40%, of the left. This is because the left has the power. People know this. Therefore, the once-extreme left positions have become the workaday positions. The people who used to simply want to give blacks equal opportunities are now encouraging their daughters to wear men’s clothes and take testosterone treatments. The extreme left IS the left.
The right is 85% moderates who have enough thoughtfulness to question the wisdom of blacks being the principals of their kids schools and the mayor of their towns. They subconsciously, and sometimes consciously, vote for people who at least throttle things back. They deep down know that (what they perceive as the far right, aka Kirk) is working in their interest, but they’ve been so isolated and forced into hushed corners for daring to think against the grain on some things that they have no idea that an ACTUAL far right (that isn’t skinheads and clansmen) exists. So when they see someone criticizing Kirk brutally, they automatically lump those people with the people they sound the most like, the left.
Matt Walsh has it right
https://youtu.be/I026pYxfLdE?si=a2pKwEErj200R0V_
I’m not naive enough to think that he’s going to be bringing David Duke on his show, and openly embracing all the baggage that that entails, but I’d sure like to see James Edwards and Matt Walsh collaborate on some things.
Good for him. He’s come a long way from defending Ahmed Arbery. Looks like the divisions on the right are falling, they are going to go after NGOs and Foundations and will take out Antifa. And they knocked out another Venezuelan boat. This really is the Germany 1933 moment, the watchword being: dismantle.
Matt Walsh is in the communication business. He should be willing to speak with anyone. It would be mighty White of him to invite someone like Nick Fuentes on, (who had a recent assassination attempt made on his life) & just like all our [s]elected & phony political candidates who fall in line to endorse their former opponents, it would advance the goal of rallying the party together.
We should be willing to talk honestly, civilly, & calmly about differences & solutions. Heck, both those guys are Catholics. They can yak on about forbidden & “banned”conversion therapy, which sought to simply *talk* folks out of sexually problematic behavior, as opposed to more “open-minded” genital mutilation.
If Whoopie Goldberg could do a cozy & polite interview with Tom Metzger (on bitchute) Matt & Nick can shake hands. Heck, even the black Hodge brothers on youtube had David Duke on within the last year. And everyone got along just fine.
Matt Walsh works for Ben Shapiro. Until that changes, I’m absolutely certain that David Duke won’t be talking to Walsh.
But just as James Edwards and Keith Alexander are fond of saying “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good”, we can’t complain about Walsh’s choice of where to put out the fig leaves. Honestly, I’m sure that even someone like James Edwards is too “far right” for Shapiro to approve of, but who knows, maybe Shapiro will allow some friendly fire in the name of pushing back against some of the madness. I can’t pretend to know what’s going on behind the scenes.
I’d say you offer the *perfect* argument for White self-segregation: Jewish outlets (such as Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire) hinder White American Gentile free speech, which is enshrined in our American 1A. We can have free speech in America, OR Jews at the helm.
My argument to you is that the assasination of Charlie Mirk marks the turning point where the Jews no longer matter, because their Golem have become self animated.
These crazy trannies and homosexuals are off the leash, Indian truck drivers are murdering motorists, pretty, innocent white women are being caught on camera being murdered by soulless Orcs, and there’s nothing any Jew, be it Ben Shapiro, Mark Zuckerberg, Dennis Prager, or Mort Zuckerman, can do to control what’s been unleashed.
We can rightly point to their collective efforts that have led up to this moment, but to borrow from Kirk, the turning point has arrived. Jews are rapidly going to lose power, and we are going to be left with an untenable and unstable world. That’s because Jewish power largely glued the post war order together, but that glue is dissolving and all that’s left is the unleashed chaos that is on the horizon.
I am pretty sure Walsh is well paid and has a golden parachute ready, so my feeling is that he has been crossing a lot of lines and testing Shapiro. Shapiro lost Owens by yanking her chain, and I suspect he is not eager to lose Walsh.
While I’m not a big fan of Walsh or Fuentes, I’d actually respect them each slightly more if they could shake hands and act civil. They don’t have to fake respect for each other’s opinions, just simply not name call, etc. Nick immaturely goes out of his way to disrupt. And Walsh, has a (mindless?) reflex of immediately using demeaning language against those of us who are unapologetically pro-White. Now is the perfect time for them to demonstrate that they can stop their pettiness.
Both of them claim Christianity (Catholicism in particular) plays a huge role in their currents lives. Politics aside, even from a religious angle, I think both of them would personally gain some cred/strength if they chose to demonstrate White (non-liberal) Catholics choosing NOT to in-fight with other White (non-liberal) Catholics. With so much disparate opinion among Whites who appreciate Catholic culture, why would any Whites want to join the Catholic club? It’s too “big-tent” (+ pro multi-culti) to have substance.
White solidarity is key. And a trademark of White, civilized, society is being able to discuss matters openly and calmly. Matt should break ties with Daily Wire. He does a disservice to both Whites and Catholics by working for an Israel-first Jew.
