Greg Johnson

Publishing and activism In 2007, Johnson became the editor of The Occidental Quarterly, establishing its online version in collaboration with Michael J. Polignano.

In April 2010, Johnson left the editorship of The Occidental Quarterly and, with Polignano, co-founded Counter-Currents to publicize European New Right ideas, including Nouvelle Droite authors Alain de Benoist and Guillaume Faye.

In 2014, Johnson feuded online with the white supremacist Richard B. Spencer after backing out of a conference held by Spencer's National Policy Institute (NPI) in Budapest, Hungary, that nearly collapsed.

In June 2017, Hope not Hate's Patrik Hermansson went undercover to interview alt-right figures including Johnson at a meeting of the Puget Sound-area white nationalist Northwest Forum, which Johnson organized. Speaking to Hermansson, Johnson boasted about Counter-Currents' traffic, supported ethnostates, and said Jews should be expelled to Israel.

Views Johnson supports the creation of ethnicity-specific white ethnostates in which only white people would live.

He has endorsed the white genocide conspiracy theory.

He opposes reproductive rights and access to birth control, writing, "you can't leave birth control up to the individual". He has said that white women should have children earlier in their lives. Johnson describes himself as "transphobic", writing that "transsexualism is a ghastly, insane phenomenon in America today, or in the white world today".

Influences Johnson has said he was influenced by the esoteric proponent of Nazism Savitri Devi starting in 2000. Under the pen name R. G. Fowler, he created "The Savitri Devi Archive", and Counter-Currents has republished a centennial edition of her devotional poems to Adolf Hitler along with a new edition of The Lightning and the Sun (1958), which deifies Hitler as an avatar of the Hindu God Vishnu. American white nationalist William Luther Pierce was also an influence, in particular his antisemitic pamphlet Who Rules America? (but not The Turner Diaries). Johnson has also said he admired Jonathan Bowden, the former cultural officer of the British National Party and a contributor to Counter-Currents who died in 2012.
