An update on the Counter-Currents fundraiser, and announcing Saturday's livestream, where Greg Johnson and David Zsutty of the Homeland Institute will discuss its latest poll on immigration and deportation issues, plus Trump’s recent “Boomer moment” on giving green cards to foreign college graduates, the #ZeroSeats campaign in the UK, and of course YOUR QUESTIONS. https://counter-currents.com/2024/06/editors-update-6/
Now available! Derek Hawthorne's Being and The Birds or: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Heidegger (But Were Afraid to Ask Hitchcock). Philosopher and film critic Derek Hawthorne draws on the thought of Martin Heidegger to illuminate Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 classic The Birds, about a series of savage and inexplicable bird attacks on Bodega Bay, a sleepy California fishing village. Hawthorne argues that The Birds depicts a Heideggerian “event” (Ereignis): a sudden and fundamental transformation of the meaning of everything. Modern men believe we are masters of our own destiny. Heidegger calls this “humanism” and rejects it completely. The Birds is an anti-humanist film. In the space of one weekend, all pretensions to the understanding and mastery of nature are shattered, and man is reduced to helplessness in the face of unfathomable mystery.

Lets pretend that there is an anonymous X account named Granny Gardener. She posts a lot about wholesome granny things like gardening, baking cookies, family warmth, etc. She’s a nice traditional woman, so she weaves in some political discourse.

Granny Gardener quickly acquires a large following, mostly of conservative moms and grandmas. She writes a book called Kozy Kinkade Mindset and regularly podcasts—using an obviously fake but endearing voice of an older lady. She also chooses to remain anonymous because she wants to enjoy the peace and quiet of the magic cottage she presumably lives in without harassment from antifa or the feds. But unlike most of her followers who are pro-life, she is oddly pro-choice.

It latter comes to be revealed that Granny Gardener is in fact a barren 35 year old woman with no children, let alone grandchildren. She lives in a messy apartment and lives off of door dash. Her gardening expertise consists of raising Chia Pets, some of which she has managed to kill because she is that incompetent. She also teaches gender studies at a nearby college and has many friends and colleagues who are radical feminists.

Granny Gardener’s fans understandably feel cheated and betrayed. Despite being amateurs, many of them are better gardeners than her and can post better gardening projects than Granny Gardener’s withered Chia Pets. Granny Gardener’s friend, Trad Tulip, is equally herbicidal and showed Tucker Carlson a petunia garden which someone else had grown while claiming that it was her own.

The above is obviously less a case of an innocent anon being doxed, and more of a subversive agent being revealed as a fraud.

Jim Goad on a Mississippi white girl who stabbed her own mother on the grounds that the latter is a "weird bitch" who was "suppressing the black in her"; yet another dead rapper with ridiculous hair, named Foolio; and a new study which shows that the urban/rural political divide in the US is only significant among whites. https://counter-currents.com/2024/06/the-worst-week-yet-180/

Keith Woods offers definitive proof from the words of Ireland's most famous nationalists that, contrary to claims by today's Left, the concepts of Irishness and Irish nationalism were always seen as tied to a specific ethnic and racial identity, and Ireland's struggle for independence was not merely "anti-colonial." https://counter-currents.com/2024/06/racial-thought-in-irish-nationalism/

Colin Wilson, the extraordinarily prolific English author of well over 100 books, both fiction and non-fiction, including volumes on philosophy, literature, psychology, religion, crime, sex, music, mysticism, and the paranormal, was born on this day in 1931. Wilson was also a quiet man of the Right. To mark the occasion, we are offering this brief guide to the Wilsonia available at Counter-Currents. https://counter-currents.com/2024/06/remembering-colin-wilson-1/
