As the world continues to convulse in economic and military strife, the tiny Baltic nation of Estonia is unlikely to be topping the thoughts of policy makers or the global public. Yet, sometimes by looking at the small details of world politics we can gain huge insights into the coming macro trends. By nature, commentators on the dissident Right tend to think in sweeping concepts such as imperial glory and the battle for global hegemony. (more…)

As counterintuitive as it may sound, doxing and schadenfreude spring from the same root — and that is the countenance of enemy action. While the former is active and entails stripping away an ally’s protection against enemy attack, the latter is passive and entails celebrating an enemy attack without having caused it. (more…)

In early March of this year, I wrote “Ukraine and Epistemic Failure Analysis” as a response to the Right’s collective failure to predict that Russia would invade Ukraine and initiate what has become the largest European war since that bit of unpleasantness with the Germans in the 1940s. That essay concerned itself with that very narrow failure of the nationalist Right to accurately predict the onset of war. Since then, that conflict has developed and expanded, and so have the Right’s reactions to it and its predictions as to its ongoing course. (more…)

This year, Counter-Currents aims to raise $300,000. We now have $232,058.06, which puts us 77% of the way there. Thank you, everyone who has donated so far. We are going to need a Christmas miracle to get the remaining $67,941.94. So if you have not donated yet, time is of the essence. Full information on how to give appears below. But before that is this important message from Nick Jeelvy. — Greg Johnson

On December 5, a group of lesbian and feminist activists held a silent protest outside the county courthouse in Oakland, California. They wore sashes identifying themselves as “Woman Adult Human Female” and carried a large banner which read “No Men in Women’s Prisons.” They were protesting the possible transfer of convicted murderer Dana Rivers — a man who identifies as a woman — into a women’s prison. Things were going swimmingly until masked transsexual activists (“trantifa,” if you will) attacked them from out of the blue. They stole their banner, pelted them with eggs and pies, and slammed into them with a bicycle before running off. (more…)

At our recent conference in the subterranean stronghold supplied by our Vril-ya comrades, there was an evocative item that came up for discussion. Specifically, it invoked the proverbial image of a drowning man grasping at straws. I’m not at liberty to quote directly, but a brief paraphrase shouldn’t be a problem. (more…)

In the past I’ve made the argument that a study of the toys that a people makes for its children give us an insight into that people’s cultural direction. Toys are a very interesting bit of material culture which are often overlooked as objects of study in anthropological and cultural research. (more…)

I am not in the least bit susceptible to depression, but I have to admit that as Tuesday night wore on, I found I was getting depressed, and on Wednesday I was really down. If you watch conservative media, you were expecting a red wave, and there was even talk of a paradigm shift as the GOP was projected to attract new constituencies: suburban whites, blacks, and Latinos were supposedly gravitating to the GOP.

It would appear that, once again, the Republican Party has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, leaving the unlearned and forgetful masses somehow wondering how this could be. To me the answer is quite obvious. The kosher Right is very quick to throw accusations around about election fraud, to lament about unmarried women, and even, surprisingly, to talk of the “brown wave” at odds with the “white wave.” (more…)

This year, Counter-Currents is raising $300,000. Thus far our grand total is $188,211.94. That puts us at 63% of our goal.

Complete information on how you can help appears below. But first, Thomas Steuben explains why your support is so crucial right now. (more…)

It has become an important part of Right-wing lore to mock liberals for framing current events in terms of Harry Potter. Donald Trump restricts entry to persons from a number of Muslim countries? That’s just like Voldemort persecuting Muggles! A court refuses to convict a white person for defending himself against black crime? (more…)

We are being buffeted by an unrelenting storm of chaos. The global economy lies in ruins, with leading stocks having shed as much as 80% of their value while European countries face the prospect of the lights going out this winter. A major conflict rages on the European periphery, ominously threatening to either drastically expand in scope or even to turn nuclear. And while these catastrophes engulf us, the West is being piloted by the most degenerated, inept, and decrepit political elite that ever could be imagined. (more…)
