    1,140 words Chaz Bono. Image courtesy of Wikimedia Commons Although she opted to surgically guillotine her bazooms, the stubbly tattooed blobfish born Chastity Sun Bono has no penis and has yet to fill and pave over her vagina with cement, so I refuse to refer to that mortally confused woman as “he.” There ain’t no […]

  • 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 […]

    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.

    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.

    2,448 words I appreciated Jesse Poe Holliday’s recent article about the struggles of young men to achieve manhood.

    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.

    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.
