Po sérií incidentů, kdy byly na pornografických serverech odhalena videa zachycující znásilňování nezletilých dívek (která majitelé webů v některých případech odmítli smazat), podepsaly přes dva miliony lidí petici za zrušení plejády pornografických stránek a stíhání jejich vedení za obchodování s lidmi (tento skandál vedl až k bojkotu stránek Pornhub společnostmi Mastercard a Visa). V reakci na rostoucí odpor vůči současné podobě pornografie ovšem mainstreamové i akademické publikace započaly soustředěnou kampaň s cílem očernit toto rodící se hnutí jako semeniště „antisemitismu“ a „antisemitských konspiračních teorií“.

Part 1 of 3 (Part 2 here)

The more you retreat from actions into words, the more you will be tempted to lie to get rich. By “actions,” I mean the following: caring for people, engineering things, programming things, fighting off an enemy, and physical labor. And by “words,” I mean making money in more verbal ways. When Andrew Tate retired from kickboxing, he retreated from actions into words — specifically, sales and entrepreneurship. He succumbed to the temptation to lie, and he deceived people as an OnlyFans entrepreneur, a casino owner, and as a pyramid schemer — but through it all, he retained a weird tendency to be candid about his profitmaking activities.

Part 7 of 8 (Part 1 here, Part 6 here, Part 8 here)

In the previous part of this series, I listed the 13 occupations that have the highest number of psychopaths, but didn’t comment on all of them in detail. In this series, I examine the remaining seven. These tend to have more psychopaths than you’ll find in a random section of the population, but not nearly as many per capita as in the previous six fields. Still, they’re more likely to employ a few bad apples which may spoil the bunch.

7. Surgeons aren’t quite as socially-oriented as most of the others on this list. (more…)

Nick Jeelvy welcomed frequent Counter-Currents contributor Stephen Paul Foster back to The Writer’s Bloc to discuss his eerily predictive 2003 book Desolation’s March: The Rise of Personalism and The Reign of Amusement in 21st Century America. (more…)

أبيجيل شرير
ضرر لا رجوع فيه: جنون التحول الجنسي يغوي بناتنا
نيويورك: دار ريجنيري للنشر، 2020

انتشر وباء في الآونة الأخيرة للفتيات المراهقات اللائي يعلنن أنهن مصابات بخلل في الهوية الجنسية وأنهن يصبحن “متحولات”. من المنظور الليبرالي الأبيض اللطيف، قد يبدو أن هذا هو الحاجز الذي كسره جنود “الحقوق المدنية”، لكن أبيجيل شرير تقول في كتابها الممتاز، “ضرر لا رجوع فيه”، إنه ليس كذلك. وبدلاً من ذلك، تجادل بأن الفتيات المراهقات اللائي يصبن بخلل في الهوية الجنسية ما هو إلا تطور جديد لظاهرة قديمة ومعروفة. يمكن للمرء أن يطلق على هذه الظاهرة بدعة (more…)

Abigail Shrier
Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters
New York: Regnery Publishing, 2020

There has recently been an epidemic of teen girls declaring that they have gender dysphoria and becoming “trans.” From the nice, white liberal perspective, this may appear to be a barrier broken by the foot soldiers of “civil rights,” but Abigail Shrier says in her excellent book, Irreversible Damage, that it is not. She instead argues that teen girls getting gender dysphoria is only a new twist to an old, well-known phenomenon. (more…)

The people who have been born into and grown up completely steeped in the modern world have many problems on their plate. One of these problems is the question of freedom. However, one man’s “freedom” is not necessarily another’s. (more…)

There is a time for us to wander.
When time is young and so are we.
The woods are greener over yonder.
The path is new, the world is free.
There is a time when leaves are fallin’.
The woods are gray, the paths are old.
The snow will come when geese are callin.’
You need a fire against the cold.
— The Dillards, “There is a Time,” 1963 (more…)

Al Goldstein

4,942 words

The pioneering pornographer Al Goldstein, publisher of Screw and similar refined journals of onanistic art, was famous for many things. Foremost, he was a notorious culture-distorter. (I’ll credit him with at least being an honest one; he said very plainly what he was all about.) Also, he was so liberal that it hurts. In light of that, it’s quite odd that his interview in the April 1978 edition of Hustler, conducted by Larry Flynt, is remarkably politically incorrect. (more…)

Robert Jensen

3,414 words

Robert Jensen is an archetypal Leftist academic: a feminist, an anti-capitalist, an anti-imperialist, and someone who belivies in institutional racism. He was denouncing “white privilege” well before doing so became fashionable, and his feminism is of the radical variety, at odd’s with today’s wishy-washy “girl boss” posturing. I read his book Getting Off: Pornography and the End of Masculinity as a teenager, and was impressed that unlike most conservative critics of porn, Prof. Jensen had actually done his homework.

Drama gets a bad rap in dissident circles. You always hear people say, “I’m not getting myself involved in drama,” as if drama is inherently a bad thing.

But I say drama can be a good thing. For one, it can be good for morale. Drama can be fun, and can thus liven the spirits. Beyond that, however, most of the time there is a moral to the story. (more…)
