97 words Pierre Drieu La Rochelle was born on this day in 1893. In commemoration, I wish to draw your attention to the following works on this site: Maurice Bardèche, “Bardèche’s Six Postulates of Fascist Socialism” (Ukrainian translation here) Alain de Benoist, “Jünger and Drieu La Rochelle” Didier Marc, “Two Against Time” (on Julien Hervier’s book […]
1,821 words Recently, the New York Times’s former book reviewer Michiko Kakutani treated us to a 3,000-word summary of everything that’s wrong with American life and politics, entitled “The End of Normal” (December 29, 2019). At least, the column is attributed to Ms. Kakutani, and carries her byline. Actually this farrago of nonsense looks like […]
1,009 words Set on the battlefields of northern France during the First World War, Sam Mendes’ 1917 follows two lance corporals racing against the clock to deliver a message to a certain colonel ordering him to call off an attack that would result in British defeat. Like Peter Jackson’s 2018 documentary They Shall Not Grow […]
1,289 words When I left the theater after watching the Safdie brother’s film Uncut Gems, I wanted to take a shower to get all the sleaze off of me. In many ways this is a revolting picture, yet still educational and somewhat red-pilling if approached from the proper mindset. Along with starring NBA basketball star […]
4,622 words By now, the Groyper War is old news, and I’m just now getting around to writing about it. But there are several reasons for that. First of all, if you want to make some groyper-related content, you have to be pretty quick on the draw as events have unfolded with such speed that […]
1,168 words 2019 was Counter-Currents‘ best year in terms of traffic and overall performance: We published 895 pieces on the site. Our traffic began to rise in June. In November, it was basically double what it was in May. We had a total of 4,205,172 visits to the site in 2019. We had 1,966,053 unique […]
1,198 words Dear Friends of Counter-Currents, December was a very good month for Counter-Currents: 195,000+ unique visitors, and I didn’t even have to get arrested to do it! In 2019, we had 4,205,172 visits to the site from 1,966,053 unique visitors, who viewed 19,101,390 pages. 1. Our Webzine and Traffic In December, we added 91 […]
1,914 words As I write this, a baby is staring up at me from a stroller, tightly packed with blankets to protect her from the chilly air. A bonnet fringed with pink lace covers her small head, and tiny blonde curls peek out from the edges. She is parked beside her parents and a third […]
1,286 words If you did an internet search of movies about or taking place on New Year’s Eve, the majority would most likely fall under the romantic comedy genre. Which makes sense, given that when you think about New Year’s Eve, your first thoughts are probably of drinking parties with friends, and more importantly, waiting […]
1,659 words Ben Novak Hitler and Abductive Logic: The Strategy of a Tyrant Lanham, Md.: Lexington Books, 2014 “Search your feelings. You know it to be true.” Ben Novak’s Hitler and Abductive Logic is one of the most exciting academic books I have ever read, a daring and imaginative synthesis of philosophy, history, biography, and […]
395 words Today, 31 December, is our American supporters’ last chance in 2019 to do like Robin Hood and take from the rich (the establishment) and give to poor freedom fighters (us), by making a tax-deductible donation to the Counter-Currents Foundation. If you donate today, your money will literally be taken from the coffers of […]
Hanukkah machete attacker 1,585 words Jews were faced with two uncomfortable events last weekend. One was a black man stabbing Jews at a rabbi’s home in New York. The other was a New York Times op-ed that said Jews were genetically smarter than other people. Both events made Left-wing Jews deny the obvious facts before […]
918 words Orwell once wrote that “intellectual honesty is a crime in any totalitarian country; but even in England it is not exactly profitable to speak and write the truth.” I come downstairs, drop the stylus on my crackling vinyl of Furtwängler conducting Wagner’s Parsifal Prelude, spread Oxford marmalade on warm toast, and lift my […]
1,028 words Julian Fellowes’ Downton Abbey is an extremely popular British period drama, set in the years 1912 to 1926, which ran six seasons (the Brits call them series) on television and is now a feature film set in 1927. I very much enjoyed the first two seasons of Downton Abbey. Like many Downton Abbey […]
2,125 words It’s a rare thing to discover a work of art transposed impeccably across genres. How this can be accomplished has always fascinated me. Peter Jackson’s film adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings is a great example because it captures not just the substance of Tolkien’s story but its spirit […]
3,063 words John Collier, Portrait of Rudyard Kipling, circa 1891 Nobel Prize-winning poet and novelist Rudyard Kipling was born on this day in 1865. For an introduction to his life and works, see the following articles on this site. William Pierce, “Rudyard Kipling: The White Man’s Poet” (French translation here) Andrew Hamilton, “Rudyard Kipling’s ‘The […]
1,453 words I’m at the airport right now. Being in Eastern Europe for the past two years, I’ve spent a lot of time at various European airports. In regards to my personal life, I’ve found myself in a revolving cycle of meeting Eastern European women on Tinder, taking them on dates to the local IKEA, […]
868 words Jim Goad The Bomb Inside My Brain Stone Mountain, Ga.: Obnoxious Books, 2019 One thing White Nationalists need to change the cultural and political mainstream are people who are not White Nationalists but who nevertheless publicly support some of our claims and stand up for the legitimacy of our concerns, our right to […]
3,706 words Race has been discussed to the point of weariness, yet most discussion consists of little more than wishful thinking, contradiction, and outright malice: “All the races are equal, but whites oppress everyone else. Then again, race doesn’t really exist, which is why we must strive for greater racial diversity.” It is understandable that […]
Björk 2,068 words Björk’s music is full of range and dimension. This is true both in the sense of her voice, which sweeps across octaves with equal helpings of elegance and coarseness, but also in her varied inflection and choice of songwriting material. One could plot her music on a chart with two poles that […]
2,640 words Edmund Morgan American Slavery, American Freedom: The Ordeal of Colonial Virginia New York: W.W. Norton, 1975 Jill Lepore The Name of War: King Philip’s War and the Origins of American Identity New York: Vintage, 1999 The Dissident Right must take back American history. Conservatives envision our nation’s history as a giant expansion of […]
Joseph Wright of Derby, A Philosopher Lecturing on the Orrery, circa 1766 1,166 words I believe that optimism is a sucker’s game. Motivation is for losers. If you cannot find motivation within yourself no amount of cheerleading will make you succeed. Optimism is the enemy of reality, and reality is the only path to truth. […]
1,319 words Do you think guns are more dangerous than they are protective? Do you think 20 percent is a passing grade in mathematics? Do you think free speech is merely a tool whites use to spew racist propaganda? Do you think it’s good when smart whites don’t get admitted to good schools because room […]
1,012 words The best present I’ve given myself over this holiday season was the two hours and thirteen minutes I sat in a mostly empty theater on a rainy afternoon watching Midway (2019) the latest epic film by the great Roland Emmerich. Thanks to Robert Hampton for his insightful review which steered me to the […]
1,485 words Everyone loves a good underdog story. It’s what Hollywood does well. Not to give Hollywood too much credit since I’ll posit that the underdog story is uniquely suited for cinema, regardless if it’s Hollywood or Bollywood or some independent genius shelling out the shekels behind the scenes. I suspect the reason can be […]
