Now that it is past Labor Day, I want to tell the traditional “what did you do last summer?” story. Most of my summer was spent doing what I normally do: working out, attending civic and cultural events in my home base in the state of Washington, and supporting Counter-Currents. (more…)

The third season of The Handmaid’s Tale is well-crafted in almost every way. The cinematography is outstanding. The dialogue is good. The acting is excellent.

I flew across the continent to Raleigh, North Carolina, rented a car, and drove to Roanoke Island. The purpose of this part of the trip was to come up with some material for Counter-Currents.

One of the greatest metapolitical efforts that has ever been brought to fruition is, in fact, the work of our mortal philosophical enemies – that is to say, Harper Lee’s novel To Kill a Mockingbird, which was published in 1960 and then turned into a popular film in 1962. (more…)

White advocates should consider gun control. Now before the gentle reader sees red, blows his top, or goes about losing his religion, hear me out. Remember, by reading a “white supremacist” website one is already prone to broadmindedness in addressing social problems. (more…)
