    Aurora borealis (northern lights) over Sweden. 1,586 words The discovery in the 1960s of a Viking settlement at L’Anse aux Meadows on the northern tip of the island of Newfoundland in Canada is one of the most striking, if little-heralded, findings in the history of European historical research and archaeology. The staggering accomplishment of Norwegian […]

  • The Foreskin Defense League

    Counter Currents - Oct 28th 2021 8:51am EDT

    1,662 words Moving en masse on city streets with their white button-down shirts and white pants, the men cut quite a figure. Clad head-to-toe in white and moving as if they’re on a vengeance mission, they are reminiscent of the futuristic British droogs in the Anthony Burgess novel and Stanley Kubrick film — until you […]

  • Soul Plane: How Blacks Depict Themselves When They Think Whites aren’t Watching

    Counter Currents - Oct 28th 2021 8:27am EDT

    1,294 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. A lot of people think it’s the camera that does this to people, but in my experience it’s the knowledge of being perceived, […]

  • Metternich, the Anti-Nationalist?

    1,523 words Wolfram SiemannMetternich: Strategist and Visionary Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 2019 Julius Evola called Klemens von Metternich the “last great European.” The Right-wing philosopher saw the Austrian statesman as his ideal leader instead of the fascist strongmen he saw in his own time.

    2,023 words “You’ll own nothing; and you’ll be happy about it.” — Klaus Schwab “I have to return some videotapes.” — Patrick Bateman Constant Readers will recall that the Covid restrictions, even here in Stars Hollow, have led me to become an aficionado of YouTube videos of the “reacts to first time watching” genre.[1] With […]

  • The Slithering Sarah Silverman, Part 2

    Counter Currents - Oct 27th 2021 10:31am EDT

    2,787 words Part 2 of 2 (Part 1 here) Another turn… Why am I writing about Sarah Silverman in the first place? It’s because she has rebranded yet again, this time as an “anti-cancel culture” centrist (I guess?), and I think she may become dangerous in the future. She may even try to slither in […]

  • Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, Part I

    Counter Currents - Oct 27th 2021 9:04am EDT

    2,374 words Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, Part I is now in theatres. I can’t recommend it. It isn’t terrible. It is merely mediocre. I found it dull to the eyes, grating to the ears, and a drag on my patience. Villeneuve spends 156 minutes and only gets halfway through the novel. David Lynch told the whole […]

    Counter Currents - Oct 26th 2021 12:20pm EDT

    6,251 words Some eminent notables have claimed that the American Civil War had substantial roots in literature. Mark Twain, for example, said of Sir Walter Scott that he was “in great measure responsible for the war.” That proposition is debatable, of course. This argument hinges on how much the widespread influence of his romanticized chivalric […]

    2,399 words An edgelord is born . . . It seems like Sarah Silverman has been around forever, and in a way, she has, but she has only been a household name for about 15 years. In other words, she’s been famous for about as long as Rihanna. Silverman is a Gen X-er and it […]

    979 words Author’s note: I wrote most of this in January of 2017 and forgot about it. Back then, the Singles Epidemic wasn’t quite as far along as it is today, and it wasn’t in the news, so I didn’t incorporate it into my analysis, but the thesis still holds true: namely, that men should not […]

    2,016 words MAGA was a movement of great energy and hope in 2016. It was the hope that the globalists can be defeated, that sovereignty shall return to international relations, and that the inexorable movement towards ever-closer global interconnectedness can be halted.
