In my time in the Dissident Right sphere, I’ve had my chance to attend certain historic events but chose not to.

I didn’t go to Charlottesville because I couldn’t get the day off work. For many years, this was a regret of mine. (more…)

FUNDRAISER ALERT: From now until the New Year, I am offering my dubious skills as a karaoke songbird to help Counter-Currents reach its goal. For $100 per ditty, I am willing to post a video of myself performing a song of your choice, provided I feel I can do the song justice. Let’s not go nuts, though — I’m not going to learn, rehearse, and sing an entire side of “Tales of Topographic Oceans” by Yes. Last year, at the request of Gaddius Maximus, I sang “I’ve Always Been Crazy” by Waylon Jennings. (more…)

“Grifter” is the closest thing political commentators have to an N-word. As a term of abuse, however, “grifter” is itself much abused. If someone makes any kind of money talking about politics, especially online, he will inevitably be called a “grifter” by someone. People say Nick Fuentes is a grifter because he makes thousands of dollars a week in superchats. Chapo Trap House makes $170,000 through their Patreon. What a bunch of grifters! And if someone sells merchandise, there’s no debate: He is definitely a grifter. (more…)

Based on a few clips, I was certain that Alt-Right: Age of Rage (2018) would lead to permanent physical damage from sheer cringiness. But I was delighted to have been proven wrong. This is a remarkably fair-minded documentary. On balance, though, I think it will be good for white identity politics. Age of Rage was directed by Adam Bhala Lough, an American of partial South Asian descent.

The brawl between the Proud Boys and the Antifa in New York on October 12.

The Proud Boys could only have arisen in the Trump era. A multi-racial fraternity dedicated to “Western chauvinism” and brawling with the Antifa is not something the Tea Party could have produced.

There’s always been an element of the ridiculous in the Proud Boys. (more…)

It is a very simple idea.

Remember that in the film Moneyball, the new Assistant General Manager, Peter Brand, said that “it’s all about getting things down to one number.” Like Spearman’s g, but for baseball. A single number which could establish a player’s objective worth. (more…)
