  • Poppy’s I Disagree

    Counter Currents - Jan 22nd 2020 12:16pm EST

    1,973 words Poppy, the mildly unsettling YouTube sensation-turned-bestselling pop singer, released her newest album on January 10th. It’s called I Disagree, and it’s an apt title — much of this record is a violent, abrasive eschewing of both Poppy’s previous work and the rules that govern music in general, much like the hyperpop sensibilities of […]

  • Pinocchio: The Face of Fascism

    Counter Currents - Jan 22nd 2020 3:04am EST

    4,065 words Extraordinary! There are three—maybe four—Pinocchio films now in development or newly released. They all promise to reveal dark, hitherto unexplored aspects of the famous marionette’s saga. One is a Robert Downey Jr. project that’s been hemming and hawing since about 2012. Initially Downey was planning to play both Geppetto and the title role. […]

  • Fear & Gunowning in Richmond Virginia

    Counter Currents - Jan 21st 2020 3:22am EST

    1,345 words Thousands of gun owners rallied in Richmond, Virginia on Martin Luther King Day to protest the state’s new gun laws.

  • By Any Other Name: The Hostile Media & Anti-White Violence

    Counter Currents - Jan 20th 2020 9:53am EST

    1,762 words Do white people deserve to die for uttering the word “nigger”? Blacks, prompted by the mainstream media, increasingly say “Yes.” The intersectional nature—yes, I’m taking intersectionality from the Left; I’m coming for it all—of an anti-white media and the propensity for extreme violence among blacks is creating an increasingly dangerous environment for whites.

  • Red-Pilling Our Children

    Counter Currents - Jan 20th 2020 5:54am EST

    3,080 Words Contemplating all the thorny dilemmas facing race-realist or white identitarian parents brings me back to the story of the Soviet youth Pavel Morozov (or Pavlik, as he was known). I say “story” because the boy and the hagiographic myth which surrounded him for over fifty years were two very different things. Pavel Morozov […]

    180 words I treat MLK Day like every other Monday: I take the trash to the curb and let it stand there until Tuesday in honor of the vicious fraud and operator who has been turned into a cardboard saint of America’s egalitarian civil religion. Over the years, Counter-Currents has published or republished a number […]

    Gustav Klimt, Death and Life, 1915 1,769 words Twenty years ago I remember being absolutely outraged by an acquaintance, an M.D. by trade, who told me he was a strict biological determinist.

    1,549 words Malcolm X (1992) Spike Lee, Denzel Washington, Angela Bassett In the early 1990s, the pre-release hype and merchandising regarding Spike Lee’s Malcolm X movie was a sight to behold.

  • Daniel Lopatin’s Uncut Gems

    Counter Currents - Jan 15th 2020 5:54am EST

    2,533 words The Safdie Brothers’ Uncut Gems may have been a garish film that walked a dangerous line between parodying and celebrating degeneracy, however, the original score it boasts is anything but kitschy and unsettling. Composed by the highly talented Daniel Lopatin, better known professionally by his moniker Oneohtrix Point Never, the Uncut Gems OST […]

    1,764 words If you think this article is about you, you might be paranoid.

    1,416 words I am a native English speaker with a love-hate relationship with foreign languages.

  • Suicide is no Solution

    Counter Currents - Jan 13th 2020 3:00am EST

    David Cole 1,439 words In his recent essay “Suicide (Final) Solution” at Taki’s Magazine, David Cole aired some extraordinarily trenchant criticisms of Jews. Despite his seemingly philo-Semitic baseline (i.e., he vigorously criticizes Jews because he vigorously wants what’s best for them), his observations are almost identical to those coming from a more counter-Semitic baseline. When […]
