Maybe it’s the weather, perhaps it’s my paranoid imagination, or perchance Western governments are ramping up for a World War and figure they need to preemptively tamp down on all criticism of Western governments and their financial enablers, but it sure seems as if this thing we fondly and naively refer to as “free speech” is getting handcuffed and shoved into the gulag with a quickness.

Normies can hear the same sort of talking points from Con Inc. figures such as Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk that they could once only hear from the Alt Right. (Image source: Wikimedia Commons)

What would become known as the Alt Right began to crystalize by the mid-2010s. The Alt Right introduced a style of White Nationalism that was so radically different than what came before that it was necessary to invent some terms to differentiate the two. Pre-Alt Right White Nationalism came to be referred to as White Nationalism 1.0 (WN 1.0). This encompassed groups such as the Klan, skinheads, the militia movement, and the efforts of individuals such as George Lincoln Rockwell, David Duke, William Pierce, and Tom Metzger. (more…)

How time flies, said Fred with scintillating originality. When I was a young lad in rural Virginia in the mid-Sixties, the only thing digital was the local drive-in movie, known colloquially as the Finger Bowl. Now the world runneth over with bits and bytes and screens and all. Regarding which: (more…)

Angelo Plume (Telegram, YouTube) and Matt Parrott (Telegram, Substack) were Greg Johnson‘s special guests on the latest broadcast of Counter-Currents Radio, which was the fourth meeting of the Counter-Currents Book Club: a discussion of Dr. Johnson’s latest book, Against Imperialism. It is now available for download and online listening.

There are some debates among those White Nationalists who wish to build a political movement that are best left until after our race is saved from the brink of extinction, such as:

• Christianity or paganism?
• Capitalism or socialism?
• Allow abortion or ban it?

Winston Churchill once said that when Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union, he knew that Britain would not lose the war, and that when Germany declared war on the United States, the Allies would win. Well, when it comes to the whole “saving the white race” thing, I have arrived at a point where I am confident that we will not lose. By that I mean that I am now confident that we will be able to red-pill enough people in time to stave off complete racial annihilation.

Now, will we win? Will we able to take back our countries and banish the non-white hordes from our midst? Eh . . . Honestly, I don’t know. (more…)

Back in 2008 I asked my dad how many Madonna songs he could name. He could only think of one: “Like a Virgin.” I found that amusing since Madonna had been an omnipresent cultural icon for a quarter of a century. (more…)

There’s been a lot of talk lately about the “2016 energy” returning to Twitter/X. That was a magical time when all the factions of the non-establishment Right came together for a single purpose. The Alt Right, the Alt Lite, Right-wing libertarians, and millions of normie MAGA conservatives formed a unified front to get Trump elected. (more…)

The Jewish Question is going mainstream — at least on Elon Musk’s Twitter/X. Major Con Inc. figures such as Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson have felt the need to begin addressing issues of Jewish influence, and conspiracy-theory grifters such as Stew Peters have started incorporating JQ talking points into their brands. Certainly any Right-wing content creator whose online persona is based on being edgy now has to at minimum be talking about Zionism. (more…)

In the style of Charlie Kaufman’s screenplays — e.g., Being John Malkovich (1999), Adaptation (2002), and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) — Norwegian writer/director Kristoffer Borgli’s Dream Scenario, his first English-language feature film, is a smart and stinging rebuke to the celebrity of influencer culture, consumer capitalism, and perhaps most provocatively, cancel culture. As such, there is a decidedly conservative streak to this satirical film with, at one point, overt references made to the “Alt Right” and Intellectual Dark Web-aligned figures (e.g. Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson, Tucker Carlson).

There is a meme showing a girl who loves to say “I’m not like other girls” when they are in fact cookie-cutter copies of the infinite other girls who bill themselves as “not like other girls.” You encounter a similar type of person on the Internet, who insists that he is not like other Internet people. “You see, for most e-celebs, the Internet is their whole life. But me? I have a happy life and a successful career outside of all this, and I just do this Internet stuff for fun. I don’t take it seriously, like everyone else does.” (more…)

Angelo Gage was a minor Alt Right b-lister when he was with Identity Evropa. He then left activism for a few years, but recently returned under a new name: Lucas Gage. He has become one of the dissident Right’s many overnight success stories through Elon Musk’s Twitter/X. He grew from 50,000 followers to over 200,000 in a matter of months and has established his account as one of the large anti-Zionist accounts, and possibly the biggest explicitly Right-wing anti-Zionist account (more…)
