I recently finished watching the very popular Netflix series Stranger Things, and was impressed with the character of Eleven. She is a girl who comes from a difficult background and is gifted with exceptional abilities. I was particularly interested in the contrast between her mindset and that of others who have similar skills, as this is relevant to our situation today.

Eleven was kidnapped at birth by a scientist, Dr. Brenner, who runs a lab in which he studies children with strange powers. (more…)

Raw Egg Nationalist
The Eggs Benedict Option
Quakertown, Pa.: Antelope Hill Publishing, 2022

An anonymous Twitter character going by the name of Raw Egg Nationalist has released a new book which is outselling globalist literature on Amazon. Unlike his earlier work, this is not a cookbook and has nothing to do with historical bodybuilders. Rather it is an analysis of the dangers of the modern diet: how it got this way, the globalist plan to make it even worse, and what we can do about it. (more…)

A chronic problem with the arts and politics is that explicitly political art is often not the best art, regardless of the message. Jared Taylor of American Renaissance has noted that novels which are written with the intention of delivering a pro-white message are generally not very good. We see a similar problem in contemporary films, where the obsession with delivering a “woke” message recently created a movie so terrible that it was cancelled after filming was complete. (more…)

This year, Counter-Currents is raising $300,000. Since our fundraiser started on March 10th, we have raised $111,190.30, which is 37% of our goal. I want to thank all of those who have given so far, and I want to share Howe Abbott-Hiss’s thoughts on why you should give now:

What is best in life? Conan the Barbarian said it was to crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their journalists. But this is only part of the answer. (more…)

Witches, Feminism and the Fall of the West
Whitefish, MT: Radix & Washington Summit Publishers, 2021

Are you tired of witches organizing to try to burn you at the stake, rather than the other way around? I know I am. Edward Dutton, a British-born professor of evolutionary psychology, explains in a new book what witches represented historically and how the same type of people came to be dominant in contemporary society.

Norwegian folk group Wardruna released their fifth album, Kvitravn, in January of this year. The band is an impressive example of prominent white Europeans embracing aspects of their own traditional culture. As the band puts it, they are “dedicated to creating musical renditions of ancient Norse and Nordic traditions.” (more…)

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is a television series that ran from 1993 to 1999. In contrast with its predecessor The Next Generation, which was inspired by an optimistic vision of a largely peaceful future, Deep Space Nine depicts a less cooperative and more familiar universe. (more…)

Ray Bradbury’s classic dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 was first published 68 years ago, and the first film adaptation was produced in 1966, but its messages remain surprisingly relevant today. Although many interpreted it as merely a story about government censorship, Bradbury himself characterized the work as a statement on the dumbing-down effect of television. (more…)

As a white man in the modern world, you are programmed to self-destruct. As dissident artist Owen Cyclops puts it, “our people have been taught that they’re bad, so they’re killing themselves in record numbers.” Of course, suicide is the most extreme expression of this, but the same basic spiritual sickness can be seen in a variety of phenomena, from the opioid crisis to alcoholism to many whites’ embrace of the constant attacks on white identity. Buddhism teaches that life is suffering, but there is a more productive way out of suffering. (more…)

Like much of our population in recent years, the beaver is stout, and not very photogenic. He has tiny eyes and a huge nose, bright orange teeth, and when on land has a waddling gait like a penguin.
