  • American Gods & Their Shadows

    Counter Currents - Oct 5th 2020 6:30am EDT

    Winslow Homer, The Woodcutter, 1891. 6,121 words I read Neil Gaiman’s American Gods sometime in college. I found it more Flannery O’Connor than Marvel Studios, but it’s hardly surprising that the latter interpretation seems to have driven the new television series’ production team (but I haven’t watched). Marvel-ous is stylistically where we are at the […]

    1,868 words I have always wanted to visit Transylvania and Bran Castle, known throughout the world as Dracula’s Castle.

  • 20 Years of Radiohead’s Kid A

    Counter Currents - Oct 2nd 2020 6:15am EDT

    1,214 words Kid A belongs on an end-times list of anti-modern records. How is that possible? Radiohead is, by any measure, one of the most successful recording groups in the world and also one of the most reliable when it comes to mainstreaming alternative and experimental music. Does it make sense to call a record […]

    Counter Currents - Oct 1st 2020 6:45am EDT

    1,521 words Are you furious yet? White Americans: If the recent Jake Gardner affair has taught us anything, it’s that our elite that now occupies most of the government and nearly all of the mainstream media has rigged the system against us. We simply cannot win when playing by the rules. Jake Gardner knew this, […]

  • The End of the Nation-State: The Privatization of Politics

    Counter Currents - Sep 30th 2020 11:45am EDT

    1,297 words The nation-state is the triangulation of people, territory, and sovereignty. If this triangulation is threatened, the idea of the State itself is threatened.

  • Denazifying Savitri Devi

    Counter Currents - Sep 30th 2020 11:15am EDT

    8,304 words The very idea sounds absurd. Militant supporter of National Socialism, foundational figure of Esoteric Hilterism, the iron maiden known to academia — insofar as she is known at all — as “Hitler’s Priestess”: dissociating Savitri Devi from her fanatical loyalty to Hitler’s Germany seems as futile as denazifying The Führer himself. Beyond its futility, […]

    3,469 words He came from a world where soft music lilted through dining rooms and ballrooms and salons . . . it was played to make life sweeter and more festive, to make women’s eyes flash and men’s vanity throw sparks . . .

    Counter Currents - Sep 28th 2020 6:45am EDT

    1,898 words With so much unrest happening in so many places these days, it’s hard to make sense of it all. America is fracturing, that much we can see.

    Counter Currents - Sep 28th 2020 6:30am EDT

    2,194 words If movies can have previews, why can’t movie critics release “pre-reviews”? I ask because September 9th was the release date of the first trailer for the first half of Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune. Dune is one of the most-anticipated movies of 2020. Trailers can build up a lot of excitement […]
