Stephen Paul Foster commemorates Edward Gibbon's 287th birthday by showing how his masterwork, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, was one of the first historical studies to treat religion from a purely sociological perspective — something that was not entirely welcome in his own time. https://counter-currents.com/2023/05/remembering-edward-gibbon/

Mark Gullick on Diogenes Laertius, one of the best sources on early Greek philosophy. https://counter-currents.com/2024/05/the-origins-of-western-philosophy-diogenes-laertius/

Pssst — white people! There is no shame in being white. There is only shame in ever thinking there was. In the 50 short, sharp, incisive essays contained in his book Whiteness: The Original Sin, author Jim Goad examines why the idea of being white has become the modern version of the unpardonable sin. On the latest broadcast of Counter-Currents Radio, which was the fifth meeting of the Counter-Currents Book Club, host Greg Johnson was joined by author Jim Goad as well as John Derbyshire and Angelo Plume to discuss the book and anti-whiteness more generally. It is now available for download and online listening. https://counter-currents.com/2024/05/counter-currents-radio-podcast-no-584-the-counter-currents-book-club-jim-goads-whiteness-the-original-sin/

Counter-Currents just survived yet another round of deplatforming. This time we were debanked. Fortunately, we quickly found a solution, but unfortunately, in setting up our new system, we were not able to retain many of our existing recurring donations. So, alas, we must ask that all of you who were donating to us in this way initiate a new donation through our new system. And if you haven't been donating to Counter-Currents but were thinking of doing so, now is the time, as we don't know what might happen to us next.

The semitophile right is somehow reaching new lows in grovelling to Zionists, now imploring their followers to vote for Israel in the Eurovision 🤣

Appealed the ban of my @DrGregJohnson account on Twitter and had it restored within a couple hours. But for some reason, I have to wait 12 hours for it to be functional, because I broke unspecified rules. Whatever. It was just a personal account and had fewer than 2,000 followers, which I built up after the CC Account @NewRightAmerica was banned. I want that back, as it had close to 24K followers when it was taken down.

Coming at the top of the hour: Trav LeBlanc, Millennial Woes, and Morgoth on Brit Pop Culture in the 1990s:
