Fundraiser UpdateThe Air-Raid Shelter
Counter Currents - Nov 5th 2021 12:14pm EDT1,929 words When I was in the middle of my teenage years, my cronies and I would tear around our southern English town on our bicycles, rickety machines partly constructed from old parts salvaged from the municipal rubbish tip.

White Identity Politics Won in Virginia
Counter Currents - Nov 4th 2021 5:02pm EDTGlenn Youngkin 1,126 words Moderate Republican Glenn Youngkin surprisingly won the Virginia gubernatorial race this week. The state, once a battleground, has become a solid blue state in recent years. Republicans last won a statewide race in 2009, and few commentators gave Youngkin a shot to win. Donald Trump lost the state by 10 points […]
Let’s Go, Brandon!
Counter Currents - Nov 4th 2021 9:33am EDT1,719 words We’re gonna talk about normie stuff today. I can already hear the groans emanating from the peanut gallery. “But Trav,” you say. “This is Counter-Currents, the caviar of White Nationalist websites. We don’t come here to read about normie stuff.” Last year, I wrote about underground anti-anti-white YouTube rapper, Tom MacDonald, after he […]
Avoiding the Unacceptable
Counter Currents - Nov 4th 2021 7:56am EDT1,684 words Roughly nine years ago, when I’d filed for divorce and was sending out feelers to see if anyone in this dismally unexceptional and lopsidedly negroidal metro area known as Greater Atlanta could recommend a good landlord or rental agency, I contacted a woman I knew in town to see if she had any […]
Trump as Wounded Grail King
Counter Currents - Nov 3rd 2021 1:30pm EDT1,459 words Trump’s antics never cease to amaze. This week, he brazenly declared that “Israel literally owned Congress ten years ago.” Was this Trump going ballistic and naming the Jew after having been their good goy for years, only to be betrayed? Alas, he was only lamenting that the halcyon days of the American Israel […]

Counter Currents - Nov 3rd 2021 12:13pm EDTYuri Bezmenov 2,714 words Back in mother USSR, we used to play a game called “hide the thimble.” The interesting thing about that game involved the requirement that the player hide the thimble in plain sight for all to see. — A Look Inside the Playbook, Anthony Napoleon & Yevgeni Yevtushenkov Some ages are lukewarm […]
The Great Replacement
Counter Currents - Nov 2nd 2021 2:26pm EDTRenaud Camus 5,048 words What we in America call multiculturalism the French call vivre ensemble, or “living together.” If that sounds like a euphemism to cover up a genocide, it’s because it is. As French author Renaud Camus dryly notes, “Between living together and living, one must choose.” And so one must. The phrase “the Great […]
X Marks the Spot
Counter Currents - Nov 2nd 2021 12:59pm EDTIbram X. Kendi 1,485 words “Grifter” is the closest thing political commentators have to an N-word. As a term of abuse, however, “grifter” is itself very abused. If someone makes any kind of money talking about politics, especially online, they are inevitably going to be called a “grifter” by someone. People say Nick Fuentes is […]
Let the Bastards Win: James Lawrence on White Nationalism
Counter Currents - Nov 2nd 2021 12:13pm EDT3,799 words James Lawrence at Affirmative Right wrote a nearly 10,000-word essay back in June entitled “What’s Wrong with White Nationalism?” In it, he gets a few things right, a few things wrong, and manages to obfuscate as much as enlighten when criticizing White Nationalism. He also offers little constructive criticism and no reasonable alternatives. […]

Fundraiser UpdateRecess Is Over
Counter Currents - Oct 29th 2021 1:39pm EDT1,233 words When I first began frequenting Counter-Currents, I was working at a university as a “writing consultant,” which — stripping away the fancy-sounding title — meant that I was a tutor, or “paper doctor,” as I called it.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show as Reactionary Morality Tale
Counter Currents - Oct 29th 2021 12:35pm EDT5,397 words How many of you have ever flown into Auckland Airport (as in New Zealand), assembled your mountain bike, then headed due south, ending up that evening at a nowhere stop that at least had a large pub featuring karaoke night (which had surprisingly good singers)?

Outside Capitalism
Counter Currents - Oct 29th 2021 10:43am EDT1,280 words Critique of capitalism has a long history. Broadly beginning with Marx and Engels, capitalism’s critics have morphed over time as capital itself continues to evolve.

The Foreskin Defense League
Counter Currents - Oct 28th 2021 8:51am EDT1,662 words Moving en masse on city streets with their white button-down shirts and white pants, the men cut quite a figure.

Soul Plane: How Blacks Depict Themselves When They Think Whites aren’t Watching
Counter Currents - Oct 28th 2021 8:27am EDT1,294 words Having directed a couple of skits, ads, radio plays, artistic performances, and auteur hipster films in my time, I know that when people know they’re being filmed, they act strange.
