    1,337 words It was 15 years ago, on June 11, 2010, that Counter-Currents went online.  When I founded Counter-Currents, I had a sense of great urgency. I did not think that America would survive in its present form past 2025. That was just a gut feeling. But it was reinforced the next year by Patrick […]

    Counter Currents - Jun 11th 2025 8:12am EDT

    1,187 words In recent decades, white farmers in South Africa have found themselves at the intersection of escalating violence and an increasingly hostile government policy.

    616 words From the Counter-Currents 2025 Spring Retreat symposium on America and Europe in the Age of Trump. If you’re a man of means, and you are attracted to a young, strong, financially independent woman, how do you turn her into your mistress? The problem is her independence.

    Counter Currents - Jun 9th 2025 9:10am EDT

    953 words For years, Western countries have been accused of racism, neo-colonialism, and moral hypocrisy. They are criticized for their historical wrongs, their cultural influence, and their foreign policies. Yet, despite the loud chorus of condemnation, these very countries remain the backbone of humanitarian aid, global innovation, and refugee resettlement. The truth is clear and […]

  • Scurrying Rats

    Counter Currents - Jun 8th 2025 5:46pm EDT

    3,722 words Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 Talk of accents reminds me of another Bowden doppelganger, William S. Burroughs. As an American from the upper-middle class strata of the Midwest, Burroughs escaped some of this kind of regional bigotry.[1] Burroughs eventually developed his own now-legendary voice, a flat, nasal sneer that really “sold” his […]

  • The Ghosts of Earl Butz

    Counter Currents - Jun 7th 2025 11:10am EDT

    1,151 words Earl Butz Perhaps my favorite mental pastime is studying the long, stupid, twisted arc of how social taboos develop. What’s especially fascinating to me is how what’s considered sacred and profane can completely flip sides in only a generation or two. When I was a kid, it was considered socially obscene to talk […]

    1,459 words Donald Trump and Elon Musk are having a messy public spat over Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” which would fund mass deportations while cutting some spending elsewhere. Musk’s main concern is that the bill does not formally codify DOGE’s budget cuts and continues deficit spending at an unsustainable level. For those not familiar with […]

    2,523 words The familiar narrative surrounding World War Two involves a main theater of war in Europe and Russia, with a late intervention from the USA.

    You can buy Jonathan Bowden’s Western Civilization Bites Back here. 3,034 words Part 3 of 3 (Part 1 here, Part 2 here). Edited by Greg Johnson and Peter Jacobi This final installment of Frenzy is a miscellany of letters, essays, and a diary entry. Everything could be fictional. But, as with other texts by Bowden, […]

  • The Exclusionary Ethics of Diversity Politics

    Counter Currents - Jun 5th 2025 7:59am EDT

    1,035 words In the contemporary push toward inclusivity, the moral claims of diversity politics are rarely interrogated. Cloaked in the rhetoric of fairness and justice, the diversity agenda promises a more equitable society, one that accommodates the marginalized and recognizes the value of different perspectives. Yet in practice, it often reveals itself as a system […]

    Counter Currents - Jun 5th 2025 6:53am EDT

    2,551 words I feel more incapable than ever of loving a woman, because I will always love all the others too much.

    Counter Currents - Jun 4th 2025 11:05am EDT

    Counter Currents - Jun 4th 2025 10:52am EDT

    1,385 words (Part 1) What Men Should Know About Women: Social Conformism and Subculture One of the sentiments that pops up whenever America’s ongoing gender wars are brought up is, why don’t more women say something?

  • Nothing Here Now but the Recordings Notes on the Shamanism of Bowden, Burroughs & Neville – Part 3

    Counter Currents - Jun 3rd 2025 1:26pm EDT

    1,604 words Part 1. Part 2. I want to pause a bit here, and look at some personal matters, which might be thought irrelevant or even somewhat demeaning (certainly Dutton’s critics think so), but they form a good part of Dutton’s case, so I want to address them before getting into a more substantial area. […]

    Counter Currents - Jun 3rd 2025 11:03am EDT

    1,947 words Watching Donald Trump’s recent meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on the BBC (Black Broadcasting Corporation), I was impressed to see a banner headline rolling across the bottom of the screen: TRUMP MAKES DISCREDITED GENOCIDE CLAIM. Wow, the BBC investigated that one quick! No sooner had Donald played Cyril a video of […]

    Counter Currents - Jun 3rd 2025 8:31am EDT

    1,461 words America’s Polarized Gender Relations: How Did We Get Here?
