As Valentine’s Day approached, I decided that I should perhaps commit myself to the insane asylum that is modern technological courtship. I knew it would be painful and time-consuming, but this year I decided to devote more effort to finding my own modern-day Brünhilde. (more…)

Bill Hopkins (1928–2011) was a British Right-wing writer and intellectual who was associated in the 1950s with the so-called Angry Young Men, which was less a movement than a loose journalistic appellation for writers from mostly working- and middle-class backgrounds who were dubbed “angry” because of their disillusionment with post-Second World War British society. Some of the Angries hardly knew each other.
In 1957, Hopkins’ first novel, The Divine and the Decay, was published in in London by MacGibbon & Kee. (more…)

London: The Palingenesis Project, 2017Jonathan Bowden was Britain’s greatest orator. An autodidact who delved deeply into abstruse subjects, Bowden had a great affinity for those aspects of popular culture, religion, history, and philosophy that “impinge[d] on real matters” such as meaning and purpose.

Standardbearers: British Roots of the New Right
Edited by Jonathan Bowden, Eddy Butler, & Adrian Davies
Foreword by Professor Antony Flew
Beckenham, Kent: The Bloomsbury Forum, 1999Somewhere between the “hug-a-hoodie” Toryism of David Cameron’s Conservatives, and those far-Right parties considered beyond the pale, is believed to lie a broad “respectable” middle ground of British nationalist politics. (more…)

Beginning this year, one episode per month of the Counter-Currents Radio livestream will be devoted to the Counter-Currents Book Club. Each stream will be devoted to a particular book from Counter-Currents or allied publishers. Each stream will be hosted by Greg Johnson. We will try to have the author or at least the editor or translator of each book on as a guest, plus two to three other panelists. The panelists will discuss each book and take questions from the audience.
Our first book will be Jonathan Bowden’s The Cultured Thug. The panelists will be Margot Metroland, James O’Meara, and Kathryn S. To give you plenty of time to order and read the book, we have postponed the stream until January 13th. (Whenever possible, we will have the streams on the first Saturday of each month.) (more…)

INTRODUCCIÓN
Los Nacionalistas Blancos necesitamos abordar el Holocausto, como también necesitamos abordar la Cuestión Judía en general.
Es inútil enfocarse únicamente en la defensa de los Blancos e ignorar a los Judíos, sencillamente porque los Judíos no nos devolverán el favor. (more…)

The Cultured Thug
San Francisco: Counter-Currents Publishing, 2023Stylistically there are two kinds of Jonathan Bowden essay. There are the neat, trim, polished ones that clock in at 800 to 1,100 words, like a review in The Spectator. Then there are the luxuriant, digressive ones that are always rambling off onto weird, and often interesting, tangents. The difference between the two is that the latter kind usually come to us as transcripts of speeches from gatherings where Bowden had an hour or more to fill, and thus had good reason to pad out his thesis with amusing asides and intriguing anecdotes.

The Counter-Currents 2023 Fundraiser
A Question of DegreeLike all journals of dissident ideas, Counter-Currents depends on the support of our readers. So far this year, we’ve raised $94,312, or 31.44% of our $300,000 goal. I want to thank everyone who has donated so far. (Please donate here!) And now, Mark Gullick offers a few words on why donating to Counter-Currents may be a much better contribution to your education than going to a college or university. (more…)

But it is never too soon to begin collecting materials for such a project, for with each passing year, people die, memories dim, and objects are devoured by time. Please contact me at [email protected] if you have such materials as: (more…)

The following is the video of the last public lecture Jonathan Bowden ever gave in his life, and it has been difficult to find online. The topic was Charles Maurras and the Action Française, and it was given at The London Forum on March 24, 2012 — only five days before his death on March 29. The audio quality is not the best, particularly during the first couple of minutes, but it does improve. A transcript of the lecture can be found at The Jonathan Bowden Archive, here. (more…)
