  • Why Trumpian Populism Won’t Work in Canada

    Counter Currents - Sep 25th 2025 9:00am EDT

    3,196 words In late 2024, the Conservative Party of Canada appeared poised to claim a landslide electoral victory in the upcoming 2025 Canadian Federal Election. With Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s approval rating hitting rock bottom, the Liberal Party seemed dead in the water. Pierre Poilievre, the populist leader of the Conservative Party, becoming the country’s […]

  • Leftist Political Violence Believes in You

    Counter Currents - Sep 25th 2025 7:00am EDT

    1,499 words The politics of personal destruction are now accompanied by outright assassinations and murder. Unfortunately, political violence is here to stay.

It is important […]

  • The Best President the UK Ever Had?

    Counter Currents - Sep 24th 2025 10:09am EDT

    3,495 words Prime Ministers and Presidents are both the political premiers of their respective countries, but there is a subtle difference in status between the two. The British Prime Minister (PM) has always operated on the primus inter pares principle first recognized in Imperial Rome: first among equals. The office of President of the United […]

  • Polarization Is Not Inherently Evil

    Counter Currents - Sep 24th 2025 6:49am EDT

    1,121 words Eric Voegelin Anyone who wishes to live in a relatively tranquil society knows that polarization—that is, the times of das Politische—is anything but reassuring. This is not difficult to understand: during moments of polarization, every situation, act, subject, or object, no matter how insignificant it might appear in more “normal” times, becomes unbearably […]

    1,359 words One of the most problematic aspects of the trans movement, largely ignored by the mainstream media, is the sale of “DIY HRT”: Do It Yourself Hormone Replacement Therapy. This involves the illegal trafficking of hormones by trans activists and online pharmacies. The rate of DIY HRT use varies depending on country and age […]

  • The Janissaries of the Russian World How Russia Seeks To Weaponize Ukraine’s Children

    Counter Currents - Sep 23rd 2025 6:49am EDT

    4,449 In the shadowed corners of the internet, a Russian website emerged like a grim auction block, eerily resembling an online slave market, where profiles of Ukrainian children – kidnapped from Russian-occupied territories – were advertised for “adoption.” Accompanied by descriptions of their physical builds, eye and hair color, temperaments, and ages, these listings reduced […]

  • Ayn Rand’s “Philosophy: Who Needs It”

    Counter Currents - Sep 22nd 2025 7:18am EDT

    3,614 words Ayn Rand’s lecture “Philosophy: Who Needs It” is a brief and compelling introduction to what philosophy is and why it is crucially important.[1] The title is not a question. But if you read it that way, Rand’s answer is: “Everyone.” When I first read “Philosophy: Who Needs It”, I was already convinced of […]

  • Learning from the Left

    Counter Currents - Sep 22nd 2025 7:11am EDT

    1,153 words For much of the last decade, conservatives have endured the onslaught of progressive zealotry in America’s cultural and intellectual life. A stray remark deemed insensitive, a tweet judged offensive, or a speech that challenged fashionable orthodoxy was often enough to bring an individual’s career to a premature and humiliating end. Professors were hounded […]

  • Morrissey Under the Gun

    Counter Currents - Sep 22nd 2025 6:38am EDT

    1,263 Cancel culture started out as low hum that at first was easy to ignore. The first few celebrities to be canceled were people I didn’t care that much about. There was that lady I had never heard of who had a cooking show. Paula something. A C-list actor here and a former sitcom star […]

  • Nationalism This Week 5

    Counter Currents - Sep 19th 2025 1:00pm EDT

    1,650 words  Antifa Is Now a Terrorist Organization Future historians will have to piece together why it took eight years for Donald Trump to declare antifa a terrorist organization, even though antifa were out in force committing violence on inauguration day in 2017. I would love to know what sweet treasons were being whispered in […]

  • Buckley: The Revolution Betrayed Part 3

    Counter Currents - Sep 19th 2025 8:57am EDT

    1,741 words Part 1, Part 2 From the early 1960s onward Buckley was easily goaded to sue, generally on account of casual insults, libels and calumnies that would be tossed off in print or on television, and just as easily forgotten in a week if he didn’t draw attention to them. As a public figure […]

    882 words When I meet WN, I often ask them a very essential question: Why are you WN? I have heard many different answers. Try asking WN this question yourself and you will be surprised by what good white people will tell you. At the end of this piece, I’ll reveal the most brilliant short […]

    Counter Currents - Sep 18th 2025 8:39am EDT

    1,774 words Charlie Kirk in debate with George Abaraoyne in May 2025. The shooting of Charlie Kirk seemed to provide the final clinching piece of evidence that all possibility of fruitful debate between the two opposing sides in the West’s ongoing internal civilizational war of survival is now, like Charlie himself, stone cold dead. The […]

  • A Life of Seneca

    Counter Currents - Sep 18th 2025 7:12am EDT

    3,209 Emily Wilson Seneca: A Life Penguin Random House UK, 2014 Martin Heidegger once famously opened a lecture on Aristotle with a rather potted biography of the philosopher known as the Stagyrite: “He was born, he lived and worked, and then he died.” Concise, although more than a little dismissive, but biographies of great men […]

  • Remebering H. Keith Thompson

    Counter Currents - Sep 17th 2025 10:23am EDT

    1,835 words In author’s blurbs and other capsule biographies, the late H. Keith Thompson Jr. is usually listed as something like, “NYC corporate executive,” or sometimes, “public relations executive.” But what sort of corporate executive is never explained, let alone the name of the corporation. It is known that he sometimes worked for his father’s […]

  • Fire Pam Bondi Hire Matt Gaetz Hate Speech is Free Speech, Full Stop

    Counter Currents - Sep 17th 2025 8:43am EDT

    1,826 words On September 15, Pam Bondi (who surprisingly graduated from the Stetson University College of Law in 1990 and passed the Florida bar exam on her first attempt) managed to make Chief Justice Ketanji Brown and even Reddit seem smart and conservative by comparison. Bondi remarked: “There’s free speech and then there’s hate speech, […]

    1,647 words The Low Countries (“The Netherlands”) is the name given to the area comprising the present-day states of The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. The language spoken in this area is largely Dutch, but in the south there is a strong and expanding influence of French. Belgium is divided into a Dutch-speaking and a French-speaking […]

  • The Center Cannot Hold

    Counter Currents - Sep 16th 2025 10:33am EDT

    1,002 words Because I am not particularly familiar with American non-alt conservatism—nor with the minor figures and initiatives associated with the GOP—I was mostly unaware of Charlie Kirk as a political personality. And yet, his outrageous and untimely death at Utah Valley University compels commentary, not only because it was a death provoked by the […]

  • Left-Wing Revisionism

    Counter Currents - Sep 16th 2025 10:09am EDT

    2,488 words Liberals often derogatorily accuse anybody who does not faithfully accept every dogmatic piece of history and the “official story” as a revisionist. Some of these accusations have come my way over the years, which in turn got me thinking about all of the instances of legal and historical revisionism by the Left. Examples […]

  • The Wright Brothers and the Wives They Did Not Have

    Counter Currents - Sep 16th 2025 5:40am EDT

    1,792 words A few years ago, the late popular historian David McCullough published a biography of Wilbur and Orville Wright, inventors of the airplane. The book was deservedly successful, and I read it entirely for pleasure myself. The brothers were typical of their Northern European Protestant race: intelligent, soft-spoken, hard-working, plain almost to the point […]

  • Mainstream Media Reaches New Low After Charlie Kirk Shooting

    Counter Currents - Sep 15th 2025 8:17am EDT

    810 words The killing of Charlie Kirk is a tragedy that deserves the strongest condemnation. Whatever one thinks of his politics, Charlie Kirk was not the figure his enemies in the press claim he was. He was not an extremist and he was certainly not some unhinged provocateur. In truth, Kirk was often criticized by […]
