Before the current Ukrainian counter-offensive, Russia was on track to conquer all of Ukraine by 2100 (that's the year, not the hour) at the cost of ten million Russian troops. Now, the timetable of their inevitable Blitzkrieg victory has been set back slightly.

We have to subvert an illiberal leftist regime that (1) pays lip service to liberalism and (2) whose indispensable support base is white liberals. That should actually be pretty easy. We demand that they actually honor the liberal norms they uphold, and when they refuse, we bring it to the attention of the genuine liberals with the aim of getting them fighting amongst themselves. It helps, though, if you actually believe in free speech. I think I have made a strong case for it in my Erkenbrand talk, "Freedom of Speech": https://counter-currents.com/2018/11/freedom-of-speech/

Gunnar Alfredsson's review of Andrew Lawton's book The Freedom Convoy, which presents the participants of Canada's trucker protest as they really were and also describes the extraordinary and frightening lengths the Canadian authorities went to in order to shut them down, has been sprung from the paywall. https://counter-currents.com/2022/08/the-freedom-convoy-its-enemies/

Jim Goad on a playwright who spent her life somehow navigating the difficult path between being lesbian and Jewish and who recently passed away a half-hour before one of her plays was to be livestreamed, Bank of America reviving the brilliant idea of offering home loans to black and brown people who can probably never repay them, a Jewish writer who confirms that Jews aren't in fact white, and more.. https://counter-currents.com/2022/09/the-worst-week-yet-95/

This image is basically modern American Gothic. A picture of hearth, homeland, health, and virtue. Sweetness and innocence, greatness and virility. Your immediate reaction to this image says more about you thank any ideology can

Sadly, Israel has veto power over US and EU policy. So this deal will probably not go through.

Morris van de Camp reviews James Howard-Johnston's The Last Great War of Antiquity, about the Roman-Persian War of the seventh century, a largely forgotten conflict that nevertheless set the stage for the world as we know it and which bears an uncomfortable similarity to America's situation today. https://counter-currents.com/2022/09/a-lofty-ancient-scene-reenacted-in-states-just-born/

Nicholas R. Jeelvy on why it's more important to win than to be right, and why predictions are overrated. https://counter-currents.com/2022/09/predictions-are-overrated/

I have never once seen a payment processor drop anyone for selling To Kill a Mockingbird.

There's nothing more insane to me than people who donate money to universities. It's like donating money to Microsoft or Nabisco. Universities use emotional associations ("Remember all the fun times you had with your friends on campus?") to get midwits to write checks. And what do you get in return? Typically it's something like your name inscribed on a brick somewhere. Your kids aren't going to be given any favors from the admissions office if they're white.

The latest broadcast of The Writers’ Bloc was a celebration of Nick Jeelvy‘s first anniversary since his move to Counter-Currents, where he offered a show retrospective and did an Ask Me Anything, and it is now available for download and online listening. https://counter-currents.com/2022/09/counter-currents-radio-podcast-no-482-it-was-a-very-good-year-on-the-writers-bloc/

Greg Johnson says that Biden's student-loan forgiveness plan is a bad idea because it only helps the Left and gets the lenders off the hook for making bad loans. https://counter-currents.com/2022/09/lenders-should-lose/

Greg Johnson wrote a good article about Student Loan Forgiveness and how we should reframe the debate.

"Leftist overproduction is also one of the driving forces of wokism. Leftists who actually find jobs in their field use wokism as a tool of upward mobility. They seek to destroy the careers of their superiors to move on up the corporate hierarchy."

Greg is actually indirectly describing some of what is going on within the AAA video game industry in terms of its Leftist takeover. Over the past several decades, the structure of student loans has probably very directly bolstered the Leftist takeover. It's inundated society with a giant surplus of wokenites who then seek out jobs at various AAA publishers and developers.

"Lenders don’t lose, whereas if bankruptcy is allowed, lenders lose when they make bad loans. And that’s who should lose, primarily; the lender should lose. I love the idea of lenders losing. They richly deserve it in many cases. Lenders should lose; and the way they lose is through bankruptcy."

I totally agree here. The mainstream narratives of the Right and the Left never seem to blame the authorities, the institutions or the experts for giving out loans to young, naive, inexperienced people depending on actual adults and leaders to guide them through an increasingly confusing world. Yes, a lot of people are just stupid and choose to accumulate debt for really pointless degrees, but that still doesn't absolve the institutions who offer these pointless degrees at the public expense.

To cycle back to the first quote, "Leftist overproduction is also one of the driving forces of wokism," the situation is actually much worse than simple greed from lenders and related institutions. Leftist Overproduction was always the point here, and American society has been funding its own demise by producing a surplus of enemy actors.

Collin Cleary's essay on Julius Evola's concept of magical idealism continues with his exploration of the absolute individual, which Evola believed to be the ultimate purpose of life, and his call to recognize that we and the outside world are the same, in spite of our perception of separation. https://counter-currents.com/2022/09/evola-magical-idealism-western-metaphysics-part-two/

Everyone reading this has the power to convert one other person to White Nationalism in the space of a year.

If you convert 1 person a year, for 30 years, there will be 30 more awakened whites.

But if those 30 people ALSO commit to converting 1 per year, after 30 years, there will be more than a billion of us.

We've got the truth. Now we need to add the commitment to proselytize.
