During his reign as Roman emperor, Augustus Caesar acted to reverse the declining birthrate of his people. He passed various pro-family laws which penalized the unmarried and the childless, discouraged miscegenation between Romans and non-Romans, taxed prostitution, and criminalized homosexuality.

During my recent interview with Greg Johnson about my novel Critical Daze, the sequel to The No College Club, he asked me if I was, in effect, telling young white kids that they should not attend college. After all, in the story the four main characters form an organization which assists young whites who run afoul of cultural Marxism, often by providing them with an alternative to university training.

Aging well is one of the best signs of how inspired a movie is—especially for comedies. To make audiences laugh the filmmakers must share certain frames of reference with them—things against which other things can go splat, so to speak. Since frames of reference change over time, making lasting comedies often requires finding the right frames of reference. (more…)

While Trump 2.0 may have put the idea of red state secession in the United States somewhat on hold for at least the next four years, it has implanted the very same idea in Canada. Using the massive US-Canada trade imbalance as a starting point, Trump is putting his America-first policies into play by tariffing Canada as much as Canada has been tariffing the United States.

Something unprecedented occurred on March 14th. A reporter shoved a boom microphone into the face of the President of the United States.

There cannot be a more perfect example of mass gaslighting than the 1998 Coen brothers’ film The Big Lebowski. By inverting sloth, fecklessness, penury, and alcoholism into admirable qualities—essentially making it cool to be a loser—this film offers up the Jewish ideal for a gentile in the character of the Dude.

Cyril Ramaphosa, President of South Africa

On February 7th President Trump issued an executive order which could be considered an act of pro-white foreign policy. In addressing the “egregious actions of the Republic of South Africa,” which enable its government “to seize ethnic minority Afrikaners’ agricultural property without compensation,” Trump has halted all foreign aid to South Africa.

A clay model of Thugs demonstrating their method of murder by strangulation

In the all-consuming culture wars of our era, it is often tempting to look for convenient rhetorical victories. Sometimes, however, these victories can be too convenient. I remember such victories from the 1990s when I first learned of the Thuggees of India. All I knew at the time was that they were a murderous cult, prevalent during the 19th-century British Raj, and that the British (to their credit) had completely stamped them out. (more…)

So, 500.

It’s hard for me to believe that this is my 500th essay for Counter-Currents. I began writing for Counter-Currents in March 2016 (almost nine years ago) as a complete unknown, and since then I have managed to scrape together a decent-sized body of work of over one million words. Yes, I keep track of all of it—every topic I write about, every link I include, every person I mention. (more…)

Homo Erectus reconstruction. Neanderthal Museum

It’s always encouraging when scientific discoveries confirm what people have always known. This is especially the case today when observation and common sense is suppressed and science confirms it anyway—which can be a revolutionary act. In the past 15 years, geneticists have been struggling with the idea of early human “introgression” with archaic hominid populations. (more…)

Many of us remember “ABC,” the salesman motto from the 1992 film Glengarry Glen Ross. It stands for “Always Be Closing.” A salesman should never waste time chatting with a prospective client, and focus always on closing the deal. This is all that matters. (more…)

Since Donald Trump was re-elected in November, many things that were rarely said in the mainstream are now being floated in public and taken seriously. Great examples include mass deportations, the US buying Greenland, Facebook ending its fact-checking algorithms, the phasing out of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs, flipping New Jersey red, and restricting immigration from India.
