    Counter Currents - Dec 24th 2025 4:41pm EST

    1,571 words  On December 18th, Tucker Carlson took the stage at Turning Point USA’s AmFest with a message from Yahweh: it is immoral to notice that His chosen people work together as a team against the interests of individualists like Tucker himself.

  • Poltergeists! Possible Tool of Left-Wing Intellectual Terrorism?

    Counter Currents - Dec 24th 2025 7:17am EST

    3,175 words Christmas is traditionally a time for ghost stories, a subject for which I have an immense affection, so much so that I once spent an entire decade or so, on and off, researching and writing a book about poltergeists and their implied social and psychological meaning. Or, at least, that what I thought […]

    1,161 words This year, White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, did eleven interviews with Chris Whipple of Vanity Fair.

Wiles made comments that were disparaging, or which could […]

  • Arthur Christmas

    Counter Currents - Dec 22nd 2025 9:18am EST

    1,397 words Santa Claus and science fiction don’t typically go together, but the 2011 animated film Arthur Christmas proves they probably should—if you want to keep the Santa Claus legend up to date, that is.

  • Chess Is Life

    Counter Currents - Dec 19th 2025 12:03pm EST

    1,610 words In chess, we all know that the aim is to checkmate your opponent’s king. But this does not mean that in the normal course of play it’s wise to aim all your firepower directly at him.

  • Depleting the Opposition

    Counter Currents - Dec 17th 2025 1:27pm EST

    3,467 words To remain in power, even good rulers must always be wary of challengers. This is much more so for bad rulers.

    Counter Currents - Dec 17th 2025 10:09am EST

    4,293 words What is the place of love in politics? Given humanity’s long history of wars, revolutions, and civil strife, the place of love seems very small indeed.

  • The Triumph of the Right-Wing Researcher

    Counter Currents - Dec 16th 2025 9:15am EST

    819 words Stephen Jay Gould Public debates about science are often presented as struggles between rigorous inquiry and ideological distortion. Over time, however, closer examination of the historical record shows that credibility was frequently distributed according to cultural alignment rather than evidentiary strength.
