Dangerous Minds How Did We Get Here?

Counter-Currents ·

2025/06/10

2,046 words The 1995 film Dangerous Minds is a very bad movie, and I’m not just saying it because I disagree with its liberal-coded themes. Even movie critics, who generally lean left, deemed the movie a tad too corny despite its good intentions. Some liberals actually found the movie offensive, complaining that many of the […]

America and Europe in the Age of Trump Zsutty

Counter-Currents ·

2025/06/10

578 words From the Counter-Currents 2025 Spring Retreat symposium on America and Europe in the Age of Trump. My prediction is that America’s relationship with Europe will drastically change because it will mostly stay the same. This paradox is explained by how America has traditionally pushed policies in Europe which it would like to enact […]

2025/06/09

953 words For years, Western countries have been accused of racism, neo-colonialism, and moral hypocrisy. They are criticized for their historical wrongs, their cultural influence, and their foreign policies. Yet, despite the loud chorus of condemnation, these very countries remain the backbone of humanitarian aid, global innovation, and refugee resettlement. The truth is clear and […]

3,722 words Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 Talk of accents reminds me of another Bowden doppelganger, William S. Burroughs. As an American from the upper-middle class strata of the Midwest, Burroughs escaped some of this kind of regional bigotry.[1] Burroughs eventually developed his own now-legendary voice, a flat, nasal sneer that really “sold” his […]

The Ghosts of Earl Butz

Counter-Currents ·

2025/06/07

1,151 words Perhaps my favorite mental pastime is studying the long, stupid, twisted arc of how social taboos develop. What’s especially fascinating to me is how what’s considered sacred and profane can completely flip sides in only a generation or two. When I was a kid, it was considered socially obscene to talk explicitly about […]

The MAGA Divorce From Big Tech?

Counter-Currents ·

2025/06/06

1,459 words Donald Trump and Elon Musk are having a messy public spat over Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” which would fund mass deportations while cutting some spending elsewhere. Musk’s main concern is that the bill does not formally codify DOGE’s budget cuts and continues deficit spending at an unsustainable level. For those not familiar with […]

Before the Storm

Counter-Currents ·

2025/06/06

2,716 words Theodor Fontane (1819-1898) is widely regarded in Europe as the major example of German realist writing in the second half of the nineteenth century, although Americans have barely heard of him, obsessed as we are (or at least our German Lit. departments and New York arbiters of taste) with Thomas Mann. Fontane, a […]

The Naked Island

2,523 words The familiar narrative surrounding World War Two involves a main theater of war in Europe and Russia, with a late intervention from the USA.

2025/06/05

3,034 words Part 3 of 3 (Part 1 here, Part 2 here). Edited by Greg Johnson and Peter Jacobi This final installment of Fury is a miscellany of letters, essays, and a diary entry. Everything could be fictional. But, as with other texts by Bowden, the fictions might be overlaid on actual people. If you […]

The Exclusionary Ethics of Diversity Politics

Counter-Currents ·

2025/06/05

1,035 words In the contemporary push toward inclusivity, the moral claims of diversity politics are rarely interrogated. Cloaked in the rhetoric of fairness and justice, the diversity agenda promises a more equitable society, one that accommodates the marginalized and recognizes the value of different perspectives. Yet in practice, it often reveals itself as a system […]

2,551 words I feel more incapable than ever of loving a woman, because I will always love all the others too much.

1,058 words Warm weather, football, hordes of non-white asylum seekers launching fireworks and wielding knives, and parked cars formed a confluence of elements that led once again to riots in France.

1,385 words (Part 1) What Men Should Know About Women: Social Conformism and Subculture One of the sentiments that pops up whenever America’s ongoing gender wars are brought up is, why don’t more women say something?

2025/06/04

9,361 words The Norman strain[…]seems to have been radically different in its mental makeup, and to some extent in its physical detail from the Saxons of England and also from their kindred in Scandinavia. The Normans appear to have been a “fine race,” to use a French idiom, and their descendants are often characterized by […]

1,604 words Part 1. Part 2. I want to pause a bit here, and look at some personal matters, which might be thought irrelevant or even somewhat demeaning (certainly Dutton’s critics think so), but they form a good part of Dutton’s case, so I want to address them before getting into a more substantial area.

1,947 words Watching Donald Trump’s recent meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on the BBC (Black Broadcasting Corporation), I was impressed to see a banner headline rolling across the bottom of the screen: TRUMP MAKES DISCREDITED GENOCIDE CLAIM.

1,461 words America’s Polarized Gender Relations: How Did We Get Here?
