We on the dissident Right hold that demographics is destiny in regards to race. If so, then it is natural that the same can be said for sub-racial genetic characteristics such as extremism, conscientiousness, and so on. Due to the fact that various waves of Europeans traveled across the Atlantic, the baseline for certain genetic traits among American whites is different from that which is found in our homeland of Europe.

We live in an age of relentless deconstructionism. In film and literature, the hero has long been subject to deconstruction. Masculinity and femininity have of course been deconstructed so thoroughly that the ravenous deconstructors have moved on to deconstructing the biological reality of male and female sexes. Perhaps nothing has been deconstructed more, however, than the concept of racial and ethnic identity. (more…)

Counter-Currents is pleased to premiere a new video presenting Greg Johnson’s classic essay “American Ethnic Identity,” which argues that the American melting pot has in fact created a unique new white ethnicity rather than a generic, nondescript white man, as some critics assert. (more…)

When I headed to the nineteenth American Renaissance conference last weekend (held once more in the beautiful Montgomery Bell State Park in Dickson County, Tennessee), I was uncertain as to what the mood would be. I was hoping the conference would energize me — but the opposite result was also possible. (more…)

We have no idea what the final outcome of the US midterm elections will be, with several crucial races having yet to be called, and nobody is promising anything until next week — and even then, the Chairman of Arizona’s Maricopa County Board of Supervisors is saying, “Don’t hold me to it.” (That’s code for “Ignore this shady stuff and please don’t do another January 6, okay?”)
In the meantime, let’s take a look at four of the most interesting Republican candidates and one who flopped. (more…)

Happy Independence Day to our American readers!
It is easy for race-conscious Americans to become cynical about July 4th, which is now an occasion for celebrating an egalitarian civil religion fabricated from a misinterpreted line in the Declaration of Independence, “. . . all men are created equal . . . ,” sometimes paired with a line from Martin Luther King, Jr., the last person on earth who wanted to be judged by the content of his character.

Qu’est-ce que le nationalisme américain ?
English original here
Le Nationalisme Blanc n’est pas du nationalisme pour des Blancs indifférenciés et génériques. De tels êtres n’existent pas. Chaque Blanc a une identité ethnique spécifique : une langue maternelle et une culture. Le Nationalisme Blanc est un nationalisme ethnique pour tous les peuples blancs.
Même dans les sociétés coloniales européennes, où différentes souches européennes se sont mélangées, nous n’avons pas de Blancs génériques. Si c’était vrai, il n’y aurait pas de différences entre les Américains et les Canadiens. (more…)

Several January 6 protesters remained locked up without just cause in a Washington D.C. prison. To voice their protest, they belt out the Star-Spangled Banner from their jail cells every night. The national anthem may make for an odd protest song for Americans incarcerated by the government represented by said tune. But increasingly the national anthem is associated exclusively with the Right. (more…)

On a Sunday last May, while Minneapolis burned, my Yankee sweetheart and I indulged in a double helping of nostalgia. The engine that propelled us along this journey down memory lane was Blast from the Past, an American romantic comedy, now a little more than twenty years old, that celebrated the morals, manners, and milieux of an even earlier time and place, the America sacrificed on the altar of equality of opportunity in the annus mirabilis of 1965.
