We have a lot of new readers coming to Counter-Currents, so I have created a new article to welcome them, explain what we are about, introduce them to our principal writers, and show them how to use the site. The article is linked on our top navigation bar. Give us your thoughts in the comment section below.

From the Editor

Welcome to Counter-Currents. This article is about who we are and how to get the most out of this site.

Counter-Currents is a webzine and a publishing imprint. We went online June 11, 2010. We are called Counter-Currents because we go against the central dogma of the mainstream, namely that nothing is worse than white identity politics. On the contrary, I believe that white identity politics is inevitable, necessary, and moral. The central battles of our time are about race. Not all of our writers are White Nationalists like me. But they are all uppity white folks who are willing to take their own side in a fight.

I am often asked: “What is Counter-Currents about?” The answer is simple. Counter-Currents is about everything — politics, history, culture, religion, philosophy — viewed from a pro-white perspective. Thus in his speech “Western Civilization Bites Back,” Jonathan Bowden said, “Counter-Currents is, to my estimation, a sort of Right-wing university.” We are the legitimate heirs of European civilization and the only people who will ensure its future. Please join us.
