Like all journals of dissident ideas, Counter-Currents depends on the generosity of our readers to sustain and expand our work. To thank donors who pledge at least $10/month or $120/year, we offer an ever-expanding package of privileges:

1. Donors will have immediate access to all Counter-Currents posts. Everyone else will find that one post a day, five posts a week will be behind a “paywall” and will be available to the general public after 30 days. Naturally, we do not grant permission to other websites to repost paywall content before 30 days have passed.


2. Paywall member comments will appear immediately instead of waiting in a moderation queue. (People who abuse this privilege will lose it.)


3. Paywall members have the option of editing their comments.


4. Paywall members get an Badge badge on their comments.


5. Paywall members can “commission” a yearly article from Counter-Currents. Just send a question that you’d like to have discussed to [email protected]. (Obviously, the topics must be suitable to Counter-Currents and its broader project, as well as the interests and expertise of our writers.)

We are pleased to announce a new perk for Paywall members: you can now “like” comments.

• Just look in the lower right corner of any comment next to  the “Reply” link.


• You will see a “Like” link.


• Just click it, and a “thumbs up” will appear to the left.


• Next to the “thumbs up” is a counter recording all the likes.


• If you hover your cursor over the “thumbs up” you can see the names of those who liked the comment.

The “Like” function makes it quicker and easier for you to give encouragement to your favorite commenters. We hope that it will encourage more and better commentary.

Also, between now and Friday, September 1, we have an additional incentive to sign up for the paywall: a paperback copy of my latest book The Trial of Socrates.

To sign up, please visit our newly revamped Paywall page.

Thank you and a big thumbs up for your loyal readership and support.
