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. Although having little connection to Vlad the Impaler or Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the myths behind the castle have inspired countless horror films and heavy metal songs. When my mom visited me in Eastern Europe, I decided […]
1,207 words BBC said it was the “night American democracy hit rock bottom.” The Guardian dubbed it a “national humiliation.” Deutsche Welle defined it as a “clusterfuck.” They were all referring to America’s first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Their observations counted as the consensus for most people who aren’t diehard Trump […]

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 […]
Roy Campbell 1,562 words Roy Campbell was a South African poet and essayist. T. S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas, and Edith Sitwell praised Campbell as one of the best poets of the inter-war period. Unfortunately, his conservatism, Nietzscheanism, and Catholicism, as well as his open contempt for the Bloomsbury set and his participation in the Spanish […]
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, […]
643 words Today is the birthday of Maurice Bardèche (1907–1998), the French Neo-Fascist writer. Bardèche was a prolific and highly versatile author of literary, film, and art criticism, history, journalism, and social and political theory. He published twenty-odd books and countless essays, articles, and reviews. Born in modest circumstances in provincial Dun-sur-Auron near the geographical […]
1,326 words Well, it has finally happened. After years of saber-rattling, Armenia and Azerbaijan have gone to war over Nagorno-Karabakh, a self-governing area formally within Azerbaijan, but with an Armenian majority population. The great powers of the world as well as the regional powers are, of course, getting involved. Both Turkey and Iran border the […]
34 words Greg Johnson will be joining Mark Collett of Patriotic Alternative on his DLive channel tonight at 2:00 PM EDT / 7:00 PM UK / 8:00 PM CET to discuss the first Presidential debate, the election, and your questions. The post Tonight’s Livestream: Greg Johnson & Mark Collett first appeared on Counter-Currents.
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. Of course, we know that the idea of a people is under attack in the West: the Left, the progressives, and the liberals (please don’t call them “cultural Marxists,” they […]
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, […]
792 words Savitri Devi was a philosopher, a religious thinker, and a tireless polemicist and activist for the causes of animal rights, European pagan revivalism, Hindu nationalism, German National Socialism, and — after the Second World War — pan-European racial nationalism. She also sought to found a religion, Esoteric Hitlerism, fusing National Socialism with the […]
6,101 words Come out, ’tis now September, the hunters’ moon’s begun, And through the wheaten stubble we hear the frequent gun; The leaves are turning yellow, and fading into red, While the ripe and bearded barley is hanging down its head. — “All Among the Barley,” British folk song September the 29th is the Feast […]
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 . . . [his] music on the other hand didn’t offer forgetfulness; it aroused […]
Hollósy Simon, Zrínyi’s Charge on the Turks from the Fortress of Szigetvár, 1896. 1,304 words Nikola Šubić Zrinski is an opera written in 1876 by Croatian composer Ivan Zajc that retells the Siege of Szigetvár. It is Zajc’s most accomplished work and is considered the national opera of Croatia. An excellent recording of the opera […]
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. But as with an earthquake, all the tidal waves and crumbling structures don’t give us a view of the tectonic plates rumbling deep beneath the surface. […]
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 […]

4,645 words Translations: Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Ukrainian Martin Heidegger is one of the giants of twentieth-century philosophy, both in terms of the depth and originality of his ideas and the breadth of his influence in philosophy, theology, the human sciences, and culture in general. Heidegger was born on September 26, 1889, in the town of Meßkirch in […]
1,176 words Counter-Currents is trying to raise $150,000 this year. Thus far, we have received 628 donations totaling $80,685.66, for which we are enormously grateful. Thus we are more than halfway there! We will keep the fundraiser going as long as needed but the ultimate deadline is the end of the year, less than four […]
2,306 words The Charge One of the most sensational charges against Heidegger is that he claimed that the Holocaust was the “self-annihilation” (Selbstvernichtung) of the Jews. This charge was first made by Italian philosophy professor Donatella di Cesare in an article in Corriere Della Sere on February 9, 2015: “Heidegger: ‘Jews Self-Destructed’: New Black Notebooks […]
1,901 words All that mattered in these pieces was to link a well-known name with a subject of current topical interest. The reader may consult Ziegenhalss for some truly startling examples; he gives hundreds. — Hermann Hesse, The Glass Bead Game I was recently asked if Hermann Hesse is a man of the Right. My […]
