  • What About That Other Maritime Disaster?

    Counter Currents - Jun 30th 2023 12:09pm EDT

    1,619 words I am going to be a little more charitable towards the Titan submarine tragedy than my esteemed colleagues Jim Goad, Gunnar Alfredsson, and Thomas Steuben. All three look at the anti-white virtue-signaling, the incessant cost-cutting, and the reckless disregard for safety practiced by now-deceased OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush and conclude that perhaps this […]

    Woodcut of a slave caravan in the Congo from 1888. 2,808 words White people commonly respond to demands for reparations for slavery and slave trading by pointing out that it was whites who abolished these things.[1] I don’t know whether they notice that this doesn’t get them the credit from their antagonists that they seem […]

  • Viva Pedro Gonzalez

    Counter Currents - Jun 28th 2023 3:36pm EDT

    Pedro L. Gonzalez 1,683 words On Tuesday, Breitbart ran an antifa style dox hit piece against Pedro Gonzalez. The article contained messages from Gonzalez candidly discussing race and Jewish power. But the unfiltered messages we’re supposed to clutch our pearls over are all quite level headed, such as “Yeah like not every Jew is problematic, […]

  • White Gays and Gentrification

    Counter Currents - Jun 28th 2023 1:46pm EDT

    3,634 words There is a deep, hermetic lore known only to cultural insiders, a small circle of academics, and a handful of social rogues[1] — namely, the lore of the often-tense relationships between white gays and blacks in those urban neighborhoods that exist in the liminal realm between “ghetto” and “gentrified.” I first noticed this […]

    Orwell’s passport photo from his time in Burma. 1,255 words When did Eric A. Blair, a.k.a. George Orwell, lose his virginity? Most biographers haven’t wrestled much with this particular issue.

  • The Revenge of Oceanus

    Counter Currents - Jun 27th 2023 3:56pm EDT

    1,453 words I usually adhere to the Roman custom of only speaking well of the dead, but I will make an exception for Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate and designer of the ill-fated Titan. As the Joker would say, “We live in a society.” OceanGate says a lot about that society, and I can’t […]

  • Thoughts on the Wagner Mutiny

    Counter Currents - Jun 26th 2023 7:00am EDT

    1,679 words First and foremost, I’d like to laugh at the Russia apologists who think they won something. Admittedly, a very bad situation for the Russian Federation was prevented from getting catastrophically worse. But overall, this has harmed Russia greatly and did not harm Ukraine at all. Now let’s go over some decades-old background to […]

    Counter Currents - Jun 23rd 2023 6:06pm EDT

    1,069 words If I had to choose a single word to describe the US in the current year, it would be decay. Society, law, and standards of living are in free fall.
