Like all journals of dissident ideas, Counter-Currents depends on the support of our readers. So far this year, we’ve raised $67,367.84 of our $300,000 goal. I want to thank everyone who has donated so far. (Please donate here!) Now, Beau Albrecht will explain how crucial your support is within the larger struggle for the survival of our people — and what our overall strategy for taking back the narrative should be. (more…)

I did not have sexual relations with that woman. — President Bill Clinton
Nicholas R. Jeelvy’s recent Counter-Currents post, “The Elite Are Those Who Refuse to Lie,” got me to meditating about lying and liars.
From the “Good Book”:
These six things doth the Lord hate: (more…)

What put me on the road to White Nationalism was a sense of disgust and outrage at being compelled to lie, or at least go along with untruths. I was compelled to lie about the realities of race, of religion, and of ideology, so I walked away from it all. My experience in college was one of enduring rank hypocrisy and being tempted to join in, seduced by promises of academic success. My revulsion drove me away — into dissident thought and White Nationalism. It meant abandoning “respectability,” but it also meant not having to lie. (more…)

In response to 2014’s absurdly overblown and preposterously misguided public outrage over Michael Brown’s shooting death in Ferguson, Missouri , President Barack Obama asked the federal government to allocate $263 million to provide police departments nationwide with body cameras so they could finally film all these white-supremacist cops wantonly and sadistically brutalizing black bodies in the streets.

1. “I am what I freely make myself to be”
This is the sixth essay I have written for Counter-Currents on the German idealist J. G. Fichte (see the introductory essay here), and it is effectively a continuation of my series on “Heidegger’s History of Metaphysics.” However, the reader need not be familiar with any of the earlier entries in order to understand this one.

The four months that have passed since America’s debacle in Afghanistan have made it increasingly clear that this was a model that was successful from commanders and managers’ perspectives. It is therefore highly likely that it will be repeated on other battlefields. (more…)

Storytelling (2001) is the most politically incorrect movie I have ever seen. Indeed, it is so un-PC that it could never have been made today.
Director Todd Solondz is a really sick guy. His films Welcome to the Dollhouse, Happiness, Palindromes, and Life During Wartime can justly be accused of fixating on bullying, rape, pedophilia, abortion, suicide, and murder. (more…)

The twofold crises of the Black Lives Matter movement and the COVID-19 pandemic are perfect opportunities for modern nihilists and culture-destroyers of every stripe to let off all the brakes. It is not often that world events align so cleanly with the rhetoric and goals of our enemies, which presents some troubling developments (more…)

It has been commonplace for decades to hear words and phrases uttered casually in a wide range of settings that point to a deep collective discomfort with direct language, i.e. the conveyance of ideas and desires in unambiguous terms. (more…)

Akira Kurosawa’s Rashomon (1950) is commonly found on lists of the world’s greatest movies, and deservedly so. Rashomon features avant-garde narrative techniques (flashbacks, multiple points of view), dynamic black-and-white cinematography by Kazuo Miyagawa, compelling Ravel-like music by Fumio Hayasaka, subtle and intensely dramatic performances, and a complex but tightly edited script, all combined into a fast-paced 88-minute masterpiece with an emotionally devastating climax.
