By Any Other Name: Was Shakespeare a Woman?

Counter-Currents ·

2025/07/25

3,430 words My first Jodi Picoult novel, Wish You Were Here, didn’t exactly whet my appetite for her, but her style is enjoyable, so I picked up By Any Other Name, curious and ready for another Picoult joyride. “Picoult is the master of wading through the darkness to find the light,” exulted one back cover […]

1,244 words A Brief History of Immigration and Sexual Assault in the UK According to the World Population Review, Great Britain had 73,590 cases of rape in 2022, making it even then the rape capital of Europe.

Judeo-Christian

Counter-Currents ·

2025/07/24

1,322 words In American public life, few phrases are as pervasive—and as misleading—as “Judeo-Christian values.” Politicians from both parties routinely invoke the term to describe the moral foundations of the United States, suggesting a shared religious heritage between Jews and Christians that supposedly binds the nation together. But this unity is an illusion. Judaism and […]

2025/07/24

1,254 words All parts here. The road winds through beautiful pine forests, following the banks of the Oskil River. The trees are tall and old, but their trunks bear fresh, black wounds where fire and shrapnel have torn through them. The wind whispers through the needles. Rusting signs still invite travelers to resorts, lodges, and […]

Will Israel Realign with China?

Counter-Currents ·

2025/07/23

1,834 words Screencap this: within two to ten years, Israel will ditch the US and realign itself with China. This sounds unlikely based on the past, but the past is already gone. My prediction is based on applying the main principle from George Friedman’s The Next Hundred Years (which I reviewed here): world leaders may […]

The Yellow Submarine Revisited

Counter-Currents ·

2025/07/23

3,158 words During my misspent youth, back when wooly mammoths still walked the Earth, I caught a replay of the Yellow Submarine movie at an indie theatre. It went into production during the Summer of Love, and the film premiered in 1968. One way of regarding the movie is as a framing story to showcase […]

2025/07/23

2,412 words This month marks twenty years since the 7/7 attacks of 2005, when suicide-bombers blew themselves up on public transport in London. Naturally, in the run-up to this potentially dangerous anniversary, the British public were warned to be on high alert for the most likely future perpetrators of such obscenities: Vikings. This is the […]

2025/07/22

4,139 words The collection of essays by Friedrich Nietzsche which came to be known as Untimely Meditations was not actually published in 1875, but was comprised of four pieces written in or around that year. The essays were published separately and compiled only later into Unzeitgemässe Betrachtungen. The German word Unzeitgemässe is also translated as […]

1,751 words If you’re looking for an airport gate headed to America, just look for racially mixed groups of fat people. America is one of the fattest nations in the world. Nearly half of all Americans are obese, that is, 40 pounds overweight. One culprit is that American food contains a lot of fattening ingredients. […]

How Trump Could Have Gotten Away with the Epstein...

Counter-Currents ·

2025/07/21

1,499 words Donald Trump could have easily covered up Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. All he needed to say is: “I have been promising for years to release the Epstein files. I’ve created a lot of expectations. Now that I’ve actually looked at the files, they are worse than I ever imagined. If I released these files, […]

China Gets in on the Grift

2025/07/21

945 words I regularly take part in online surveys to earn a bit of cash on the side. Now, mostly it’s boring, standard surveys about some new toothpaste or the public image of insurance companies and banks. But ever so often there are political polls (especially before elections, naturally), which I always enjoy, or you […]

The Attack on European Swimming Pool Culture

Counter-Currents ·

2025/07/18

1,474 words Most western countries feature public outdoor and indoor pools that allow citizens to cool down, swim, and socialize during the summer months.

The Ghost of Jeffrey Epstein

Counter-Currents ·

2025/07/18

2,415 words The confluence of the Trump administration’s sudden reluctance to release the Jeffrey Epstein files and the MAGA base’s understandably hostile reaction has sadly brought out the worst in Donald Trump. His response so far has been to double down, deny that there is anything of interest in these files, and then lash out […]

Heidegger, Hegel, and the Completion of Western...

Counter-Currents ·

2025/07/18

5,218 words All parts here. Introducing the Clearing As we discussed last time, Heidegger’s major objection to Hegel is to identify his philosophy as “ontotheology.” In other words, Hegel confuses the “ontological difference,” the difference between being-as-such and beings, the things that have being. In the end, Hegel declares that the Absolute is being. But, […]

On Sluts, Shame, and “Slut-Shaming”

Counter-Currents ·

2025/07/17

2,419 words One of the great constants of the human condition is that women complain. If there is a heaven, we can count on women to complain about the accommodations, for it would not be heaven to them if they could not do so. Men must learn, therefore, not to take female complaints too seriously, […]
