Sites such as The Unz Review and Counter-Currents are maligned by the mainstream media for promoting extreme views. But are these outlets more impartial and diverse than elite outlets? Unlike the establishment media, these publications broadcast a broader spectrum of ideas and are likely to engender civil discourse. (more…)

It’s only been a week since Elon Musk took a stand on the Jewish Question, and yet so much has happened since then it almost feels like ancient history already. While it was a big win for the dissident Right, in the days that followed there were some minor black pills. (more…)

One knows that criticism of Jews is the ultimate taboo by virtue of the fact that the establishment never bothers to cultivate a controlled or approved opposition to Jews. There are people such as Tommy Robinson, who act as controlled opposition to mass migration, and there are even some Con Inc. operatives such as Charlie Kirk and Matt Walsh who dabble in controlled/approved opposition to anti-whiteness.

In his recent Takimag essay, “White Knighting for Middle East Unsalvageables,” David Cole gets a lot right, but he misses the broader picture. With his usual caustic flair, Cole complains about the uncritical — and what he sees as hypocritical — support many on the Right have been lavishing on the Palestinians during their ongoing war with the Israelis.

Part of what we do here on the dissident Right is talk about the news. When there is a big conversation going on, we want to be part of it. Recently, conflict has again broken out between Israelis and Palestinians. The Internet is aflame with Zionists and anti-Zionists tweeting pictures of dead babies at each other and exchanging accusations of terrorism and genocidal intent. So the question for the dissident Right is, what is our take on this? And more specifically, whose side are we on? (more…)

This latest round of Israeli-Palestinian warfare, in which Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Israeli citizens and thousands more injured, leaves me with mixed feelings. I’m reminded of the troubles frontier Americans faced with hostile Indians in the nineteenth century. Putting it as simply as possible, you had an intelligent, civilized race of people competing over land and resources with a less intelligent, less civilized race of people. (more…)

The word “woke” was first used as an adjective, as opposed to “awake,” in a political context by black Americans during the twentieth century to describe someone who is “alert to racial prejudice and discrimination.” (more…)

Like all journals of dissident ideas, Counter-Currents depends on the support of our readers. So far this year, we’ve raised $92,974, or 31% of our $300,000 goal. I want to thank everyone who has donated so far. (Please donate here!) And now, Pox Populi offers a few words on why we can’t expect idealism alone to sustain the alternative dissident Right media ecosystem that has been painstakingly built in recent years forever — and why we can’t afford to lose it.

Stregoneria Politica is the title of Guido Taietti’s “manual of non-conventional political communication.” It translates as “political witchcraft,” and one can see why such a title was chosen. There may be nothing new under the Sun, and doing politics has always been a messy business no matter which system of government was employed, but the advent of the Internet and social media has rendered the political realm today even more bewildering, heaving with with a multitude of parties and actors who are all noisily vying for attention.

Charlie Kirk: gone rogue or trying to hijack the dissident Right?

There have recently been stories about how this or that mainstream conservative commentator is some kind of closet and/or ex-dissident Rightist, or is consuming dissident Right content on the down low. In March, liberals raked Tucker Carlson over the coals after leaked internal text messages revealed that he had read a Takimag article by notorious “Holocaust denier” David Cole and commented favorably on it. And then last month, a hot mic recording of Daily Wire star Matt Walsh surfaced in which he could be heard making “demographics are destiny” arguments about how non-whites would not be able to maintain America’s Anglo-Saxon culture.

Like all journals of dissident ideas, Counter-Currents depends on the support of our readers. So far this year, we’ve raised $85,795.40, or 28.6% of our $300,000 goal. I want to thank everyone who has donated so far. (Please donate here!) And now, Alex Graham offers a few words on why victory is only possible if we truly believe in it — which means ignoring the doomsayers and doing what it takes to win.

Any power struggle is preceded by a verification of images and iconoclasm. This is why we need poets — they initiate the overthrow, even that of titans. — Ernst Jünger, The Forest Passage

Generations of dissident nationalists and their work have cultivated a thriving philosophical and intellectual ecosystem both online and in print. The Internet in particular has provided fertile terrain for countless blogs, vlogs, podcasts, and more. (more…)
