Morgoth (Substack, Odysee) was Greg Johnson‘s special guest on the latest broadcast of Counter-Currents Radio, where they discussed Denis Villeneuve’s new film Dune: Part Two and of course answered listener questions. In the second hour, they were joined by Endeavour (Substack). (See Trevor Lynch’s reviews of Dune and Dune: Part Two for Counter-Currents; also see our Frank Herbert commemoration for links to all our resources on Dune and Frank Herbert.) (more…)

Foul deeds will rise,
Though all the earth o’erwhelm them, to men’s eyes.
–William ShakespeareI have written about the pervasive ideological subversion of American universities and the corruption and hypocrisy that is rampant in higher education in previous Counter-Currents posts. Universities are the fons et origo of the racial madness sweeping through our institutions. (more…)

There is nothing in the principles of free speech and individual liberty which bears responsibility for turning Western governments into the anti-white dystopias we live in today. Rather, it was the toxic pill of hostile foreign aliens which poisoned the great Enlightenment project from the start. (more…)

Atheism and agnosticism are associated with Leftist, anti-white politics, but there is no reason why this must be so. As discussed in my previous Counter-Currents article, “Christian Nationalism Has Made Me Agnostic,” much of the white Western world, including countries such as France, the Czech Republic, and Australia, is becoming irreligious.

There are many reasons to think that we are living in the world of Atlas Shrugged. Doesn’t it seem today as if literally everything is broken or in freefall? Manufacturing, transportation, infrastructure, public safety, the justice system, housing, education, the food supply, journalism, the arts, and more — these are broken in our world of today, and broken in the world of Atlas Shrugged. But how they got broken is, in many ways, quite different from what Rand depicts. (more…)

Life is hard in the column racket, I tell you. The work load is crushing. Every week I get many hundreds of e-mails (well, okay, I would if I did, but this is close enough for journalism) asking, “Fred, Fred, what beneficial and meritorious measures will you enact when you become dictator? What will you do to set the course of American society for centuries to come?” (more…)

How We Got Our Antiracist Constitution: Canonizing Brown v. Board of Education in Courts and Minds
Claremont Provocations Monograph Series, 2023“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion . . .” — First Amendment of the United States Constitution, 1791
“Equal opportunity is the bedrock of American democracy, and our diversity is one of our country’s greatest strengths… It is therefore the policy of my Administration that the Federal Government should pursue a comprehensive approach to advancing equity for all, including people of color and others who have been historically underserved, marginalized, and adversely affected by persistent poverty and inequality.

I know a kind person who has achieved a lot. We first met 40 years ago, although for many years we were not in touch. Then we remade contact, and now I don’t think we’re friends anymore. He found my political incorrectness hard to bear. (more…)

Right-wingers are fascinated with IQ to the point that it’s a focal point of the ideological brand. It’s an unspoken credo that says, “We’re the smart ones.” And that’s fine. All movements have mantras. There’s certainly nothing unappealing about being “the smart ones.” But when was the last time you heard the Left discuss IQ? (more…)

The Populist Moment, Chapter 12:
Liberty — Equality — Fraternity:
On the Meaning of a Republican SloganIntroduction here, Chapter 11 Part 4 here
Translated by F. Roger Devlin
As is well-known, the republican slogan “Liberty — Equality — Fraternity” was first invoked during the French Revolution.[1] At that time it was merely one slogan among many others. Falling into disuse under the Empire, and frequently called into question thereafter, it reappeared during the Revolution of 1848 when it was inscribed as a “principle” of the Republic in the Constitution of February 27, 1848.

1. “I am what I freely make myself to be”
This is the sixth essay I have written for Counter-Currents on the German idealist J. G. Fichte (see the introductory essay here), and it is effectively a continuation of my series on “Heidegger’s History of Metaphysics.” However, the reader need not be familiar with any of the earlier entries in order to understand this one.

And who will guard the guardians? — Juvenal
During my long life, I cannot recall approaching the New Year with a greater sense of apprehension and angst. Looking back over the last several years, 2020 was a tipping point of chaos: COVID lockdowns, George Floyd riots and deification, an Alzheimer’s POTUS, adolescent mutilation as a “civil right,” Ukraine.
What next? Yeats? (more…)
