Randy Newman vs the South: A Review of Good Old Boys
Counter Currents - Oct 4th 2024 10:03am EDT2,329 words Edgy satires often achieve greatness proportional to the power of the thing they satirize. For example, a novel satirizing Communist Russia in the 1920s, such as Mikhail Bulgakov’s Heart of a Dog, would have lost much of its edge had it been written in, say, 1987, during the final years of Communism. But […]
Stranger Danger: Part 1
Counter Currents - Oct 4th 2024 8:22am EDT934 words At the start of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, both the “Dissident Right” and mainstream conservatives in America quickly became lockstep in praising Putin and criticizing Ukraine.

Counter Currents - Oct 3rd 2024 7:33am EDT3,186 words When George Orwell arrived in Aragon to fight against Franco in 1937, it wasn’t the poor state of the weaponry that worried him, and it wasn’t the enemy.

The NAXALT Argument as Distraction Premise
Counter Currents - Oct 1st 2024 12:58pm EDT715 words The NAXALT argument is based not on a false premise but a misleading one which is intended to distract from, and pose as, the main premise. It is reducible to logical form, but with the proviso that this is analogous, and the whole problem is partly rhetorical. Analogously, then, the NAXALT argument is […]
