    An Interview with Spencer J. Quinn

    2,950 words

    Spencer J. Quinn is one of Counter-Currents’ most prolific writers. I personally enjoy reading his articles on topics such as forgotten figures in history, music, and current political issues. In addition to writing articles, Spencer is the author of several books. His love of wisdom is evidenced by his avatar, Thucydides. (more…)

    The Matrix Resurrections

    1,457 words

    Larry and Andy Wachowski’s The Matrix (1999) is a science fiction classic. The setting is a devastated Earth in the far future. The premise is that humanity has been enslaved by artificial intelligences. Human beings spend our lives in what are essentially coffins while mechanical vampires drain our energy. We don’t know it, because we are asleep, dreaming that we are in a radically different world. This is the Matrix. Today we would call it a multiplayer online game.

    Like many dystopias, The Matrix is actually too optimistic. The Wachowski brothers thought the human race would have to be forced into the pods. (more…)

    Hari Kunzru’s Red Pill

    Hari Kunzru
    Red Pill
    New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2020

    Though its origins lie in the big-budget science fiction film The Matrix, the now-infamous term “red pill” has recently undergone a subconscious attempt by center-of-the-Overton-window content creators to reclaim it from its primary users: the internet-based Dissident Right. (more…)

    David Duke’s Bottle of Red Pills

    7,743 words

    If you’ve ever wanted to deliver massive doses of red pills to your friends, David Duke’s My Awakening[1] can be considered an entire bottle of them. The first edition, which is reviewed herein, has aged pretty well. Much has happened since then, of course — and little for the better. However, the basics are still relevant; what held true back then remains so now.

    David Duke, in brief (more…)

    When Tucker Met Moldbug

    Curtis Yarvin

    1,574 words

    Last Wednesday, Curtis Yarvin, aka Mencius Moldbug, the father of the Neoreaction (NRx) movement, did a 75-minute interview with Tucker Carlson, the most popular cable TV news host in America. To be clear, this interview did not occur on Tucker’s nightly show but rather his online show, Tucker Carlson Today, which appears behind FOX’s paywall. You can watch it here. (more…)

    La Femme Fatale Française de TikTok:
    Un entretien avec Estelle Redpill

    2,364 words

    English version here

    Je n’avais jamais entendu parler d’Estelle Redpill jusqu’à la semaine dernière. En parcourant Antifa Twitter, j’ai trouvé quelqu’un qui pointait du doigt un article du Financial Times sur la soi-disant «fachosphère» qui, selon le Times, est un raccourci français pour «sphère fasciste», une sorte d’Alt Right française. Le Financial Times a choisi Estelle Rodriguez, 25 ans, mieux connue sous son nom de guerre Estelle Redpill, pour être le visage de la « fachosphère ». Et c’est un visage mémorable. (more…)

    La Femme Fatale Française de TikTok:
    An Interview with Estelle Redpill

    2,284 words

    French original here

    I had never heard of Estelle Redpill until last week. Browsing through Antifa Twitter, I found someone pointing and sputtering at an article in the Financial Times about the so-called “fachosphere,” which the Times assures me is French shorthand for “fascist sphere” — a sort of French Alt Right. The Financial Times selected 25-year-old Estelle Rodriguez, better known by her nom de guerre Estelle Redpill, to be the face of the “fachosphere” — and a memorable face it is. (more…)

    The Red-Pilling of Spencer Quinn

    1,980 words

    I’m one of those lonely people who red-pilled himself. It happened twice: Once in my early twenties and once in my early forties. And since a commenter on my previous article “The Tipping Point” asked for me to explain how that happened, I thought I’d share.

    I became aware of the critical nature of race — vis-à-vis blacks and whites — in my early twenties after a few years of living on my own post-college. I can trace it back to the day I started paying my own taxes. (more…)

    Rediscovering a Song

    Harry Chapin

    1,524 words

    So what are the greatest acoustic guitar intros in pop music? Not exactly a conundrum I’ve pondered much until I stumbled across Rick Beato’s YouTube channel. Beato is a musician and producer whose breadth of musical knowledge I admire. He likes to do lists, and during his greatest acoustic guitar intros video, I had a revelation. (more…)
