  • Seeds of Europhilia

    Counter Currents - Mar 26th 2025 9:21am EDT

    1,267 words As a zealous Christian young man, most of the books I had been reading were concerned with one thing: devotion, which I would basically define as loving God, avoiding sin, and proselytizing per The Great Commission. “Culture,” on the other hand, was, I believed, a distraction at best, certainly superfluous. A stumbling block […]

  • Dating, Marriage, and Sex in the 1950s

    Counter Currents - Mar 25th 2025 1:06pm EDT

    2,103 words Men are citizens of their age as much as citizens of their country, as Schiller once remarked. Young people, especially small children, have an almost limitless capacity for assuming what they see around them is normal, since they have nothing else to compare it with.

  • Response to Greg Johnson and Joel Davis

    Counter Currents - Mar 24th 2025 11:21am EDT

    1,582 words I enjoyed the discussion between Dr. Greg Johnson and Joel Davis about the NS question in White Nationalism. I strongly recommend that you listen to it. Here is my reaction to it.

    Nationalist propaganda depicting Italy and France expelling Austria from their borders. 3,818 words There’s a cloud[1] over nationalism.

  • In Defense of Boomer Dads

    Counter Currents - Mar 22nd 2025 9:45am EDT

    2,448 words I appreciated Jesse Poe Holliday’s recent article about the struggles of young men to achieve manhood. He indeed captures the sense of aimlessness and cluelessness exhibited by so many young men today (and to be fair, young women are not showing up much better.

  • It’s Not So Easy to End a War: The Korean Conflict & Its Bomb Building Aftermath

    Counter Currents - Mar 20th 2025 1:13pm EDT

    3,377 words It is not easy to end a war. The frustration, hatreds, and objectives only half-achieved at the expense of so many lives make the negotiations very difficult. One war, which was ended despite the objectives of the belligerents only being half-achieved, was in Korea. How that war ended, and how the conflict’s rival […]

    1,075 words You can buy Jim Goad’s Whiteness: The Original Sin here According to the modern moral framework as it’s dictated to us by academia’s huddled rodents, the worst possible thing anyone can be is a racist.

  • The Non-Exploding Boom Mic and Everything That Could Go Wrong

    Counter Currents - Mar 20th 2025 12:03pm EDT

    1,521 words Something unprecedented occurred on March 14th. A reporter shoved a boom microphone into the face of the President of the United States.

  • Alex Jones’ Endgame: Blueprint for Global Enslavement, Part 1

    Counter Currents - Mar 6th 2025 7:37am EST

    2,703 words How To Turn Your Conspiracy Movie Into An Unhinged Screed Against Eugenics After starting out as an overly dramatic yet still semi-informative conspiracy exposé, Alex Jones’ 2007 movie makes an absolutely bizarre turn in the middle, transforming into a focused propaganda piece against “eugenics”, which it identifies as the telos behind the evil […]

    Counter Currents - Mar 6th 2025 7:01am EST

    1,379 words If Canada holds a federal election this year, it will be a miracle. Even though it is officially slated for the fall, October 20, 2025, I am doubtful it will happen.

    Counter Currents - Mar 5th 2025 5:38am EST

    2,263 words While Trump’s style continues to dazzle and seemingly lay waste the leftists, both in America and abroad, a recent film has captivated the critics and the box office, dealing, as it does, with political repression.
