W jaki sposób możemy nawrócić ludzi na biały nacjonalizm? Aby odpowiedzieć na to pytanie, musimy zapytać samych siebie, jak sami nawróciliśmy się, a potem postąpić tak z innymi. (more…)

Carl Jung (second from right) in North Africa, 1920.

1,142 words

The psychologist Carl Jung was a race realist even by the standards of his day, when a certain amount of race realism was seen as simple common sense. He was also a great man and, like all great men, he was ahead of his time in many ways. While he didn’t foresee the precise predicament white people now face, he nevertheless mentioned almost as an aside in one of his more popular essays the answer to the perplexing question of why some people fiercely resist the possibility of racial differences in intelligence, personality, or any other feature of consciousness.

“What’s all the fuss about Dr. Mengele when Nathaniel Branden is alive and well and living in LA?” – A former member of Ayn Rand’s inner circle

In the 1960s, Ayn Rand was putting people on trial in her Manhattan apartment. Their crime? Social metaphysics. Members of “the Collective” — the in-joke term for Rand’s inner circle — would gather in her living room to hear the case against the accused. Nathaniel Branden, Rand’s business partner and erstwhile lover, acted as prosecuting attorney, judge, jury, and sometimes executioner, all with the blessing of Miss Rand. (more…)

 ¿Cómo convertir a la gente al Nacionalismo Blanco? Para contestar esta pregunta, tenemos que preguntarnos cómo fuimos convertidos nosotros, y luego hacer lo mismo con los demás. El método más natural de conversión es compartir la información que nos hizo que nos convirtiésemos: (more…)

Foreword by Petr Hampl

Associate Professor Martin Konvička is a widely respected biologist. He is mainly interested in butterflies and other small insects. That’s of no interest to Counter-Currents readers, however. What is more interesting is that as a biologist he looks at different cultures, civilizations, and social classes and judges them in terms of mating patterns, and often in terms of the statistical incidence of various sexual deviations as well — because again, these are just certain mating patterns.

The Negro and Psychopathology

This one is the longest chapter, about double the size of most of the others. Fortunately, it’s actually a bit relatable here and there; not entirely bitching and moaning. It begins by explaining that neurosis comes from bad upbringing — your basic Freud 101. (more…)

Part 2 of 2 (Part 1 here)

In all cases not involving a fully-fledged occupying army, as with Russia after its Civil War ended and with the United States currently, the hostile elites, be they native or alien, who wish to subjugate a population do so by achieving what I call the Stalin clap effect (SCE). This is named after the Soviet dictator’s unwritten policy, as reported by Solzhenitsyn, of sending the first person to stop clapping after one of his speeches to the Gulag: (more…)

Part 1 of 2 (Part 2 here)

There is something of a critical mass effect with much of the information we take in on a day-to-day basis. We can read or hear the same sort of thing 99 times without thinking much about it, but on the hundredth time it suddenly registers as if it is something new, and we then act on it. (more…)

Counter-Currents presents a new video of Greg Johnson’s essay “Honorable Defeatists,” about why White Nationalists love to engage in self-defeating behavior. (more…)

I routinely summarize what people have said to me, and ask them if I have understood properly. — Jordan Peterson, 12 Rules for Life

Don’t talk to me that way. — Patti Smith, Break It Up

Jordan Peterson is not, as we English used to say, everyone’s cup of tea. Many on the political Right don’t know what to make of him, while the Left see two things they don’t understand and therefore don’t like: intelligence and a high-profile opinion divergent from theirs. (more…)

Ed Kemper

Part 3 of 8 (Part 1 here, Part 2 here, Part 4 here)

The following should only be used to supplement the Hare Checklist-Revised, the real way psychologists diagnose psychopaths. It draws heavily on excerpts from interviews with the serial killer Ed Kemper. Kemper is an unusually intelligent psychopath whose IQ was tested at 136 and 145. He seems to be more honest, too, so he makes a good case study. It also cites examples of psychopathic behaviors in the Tate brothers, Jared Fogle, and the rapper 50 Cent. (more…)

John Cleese of Monty Python and Fawlty Towers fame is one of the funniest men alive. He’s also fearsomely smart. Beyond that, he has the vision and courage to oppose political correctness, one of the banes of comedy, creativity, and civilization itself. Thus it was an easy decision to snap up his new book, Creativity: A Short and Cheerful Guide (London: Hutchison, 2020), now out in paperback from Penguin. Creativity truly is a short book — I estimate about 20,000 words. It can be easily read in one sitting, and with great profit, for it is brimming with arresting insights and useful advice on cultivating one’s creativity. (more…)
