First, I want to thank the hundreds of people who have taken the Counter-Currents movement poll thus far. The initial results are fascinating. So fascinating, in fact, that I have extended the deadline until May 15th, because I would like more people to take part. There are still thousands of you out there we’d love to hear from.
Thus I am resending the invitation link to everyone who has not yet participated. (more…)

Brian Moore’s 1985 novel Black Robe thankfully slipped through the cracks of political correctness. It tells the story of French missionary Paul Laforgue, who travels to the Canadian wilderness in the early seventeenth century to bring Christianity to the indigenous Savages of North America. Yes, Moore capitalizes that term when describing the Indians because, according to his research, this is the very term (les Sauvages) the French used back then. Moore explains this in his author’s note, along with the circuitous manner in which he stumbled upon this fascinating subject (more…)

I made a resolution several months ago that I would, to the best of my abilities, write mostly about positive, constructive things. “Mostly,” because there will always be not-so-positive things worth writing about. But I would like my main focus to be on uplifting topics and ideas, not on those that drag us down. There’s plenty of that going around.
I believe in the power of thought, whether you understand it in a self-help sort of way (“manifest your intentions”), or, like me, in a spiritual sense. If you only ever define yourself by what you are against, not what you are for, you will never be able to create. (more…)

New Model Irish Citizen Army
Éire may not seem the concern of the Union Jackal, but we would all like to see a united Ireland, one country without borders and troubles. Unfortunately, Ireland already has no effective border with her sister to the north, and its troubles are due neither to the British nor the Irish Republican Army, but self-willed via its importation of the Third World. Many of the immigrants who come ashore on England’s Kent coast use the country merely as a travelator to get them to Northern Ireland. (more…)

Since growing up cocooned in economic wealth is far likelier to shield a person from life’s harsher realities than merely growing up white, writer Nellie Bowles is spoiled to the point where she stinks. She’s descended from Henry Miller, but not the softcore porno novelist — the Evil White Male who helped bankroll Bowles’ charmed and risk-free life was the “Cattle King of California” who “was at one point one of the largest landowners in the United States.” Bowles inherited everything except a pretty face.

Dwight Macdonald (ed. by John Summers)
Masscult and Midcult: Essays Against the American Grain
New York: New York Review Books, 2011Long before Paul Fussell’s Class, or Jilly Cooper’s Class, or such dubious offerings of social criticism as The Preppy Handbook and The Yuppie Handbook, we had Dwight Macdonald’s Masscult and Midcult, a long essay originally written for the Partisan Review and published as a slight volume in 1961. More recently (2011) it was republished as a New York Review Books (NYRB) Classics title, bound together with an Introduction by Louis Menand and a collection of pointed and frothy Macdonald writings from the same era, originally published as Against the American Grain.

The following interview with occasional Counter-Currents contributor Martin Lichtmesz was published in Hungarian by the news portal Magyar Jelen on March 2, 2024.

What is America? What does it mean to be an American? Today it seems as though there are as many answers to these questions as there are people to provide them. This is especially pertinent for nationalists. One answer to this is it simply means possessing United States citizenship. (more…)

The first and fiercest punishment ought to fall first on the traitor, second on the enemy. — Corneliu Zelea Codreanu
I was cautiously optimistic about America First Legal (AFL). Their mission statement proudly proclaims in part: “We believe that all Americans deserve a government that puts their needs, their interests, and their country FIRST.” (more…)

Part 2 of 2 (Part 1 here)
Who belongs to the nation
Many countries explicitly define who the members of the nation are. This is, in fact, quite normal. The United States did so, in a way — “ourselves and our posterity,” as the Preamble of the Constitution says. This meant the founding population and their descendants, of course. (more…)

As black violence increasingly plagues American society, even the most milquetoast moderate whites are beginning to concede that something is amiss with blacks. But most are yet unwilling to identify the true source of the problem and instead cite things such as “Democrat-run cities” or “inner-city violence.” Other, more daring moderates argue that “black culture” contributes to the rising violence in our cities and must therefore be addressed. Both viewpoints are wrong. (more…)
