  • How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Oliver Anthony

    Counter Currents - Aug 17th 2023 9:19am EDT

    Oliver Anthony 2,077 words “You know how to gain a victory; you do not know how to use it.” Those are the famous words Maharbal, a commander in the Carthaginian army, told Hannibal after they had achieved a momentous success on the battlefield at Cannae. Whether or not Maharbal really did utter the admonishment does […]

  • David French: The Lost Boys of the American Right

    Occidental Dissent - Aug 16th 2023 4:00pm EDT

    Editor’s Note: If you are wondering why I used the image of Anakin Skywalker above, it is because these people tend to be Star Wars nerds and Marvel fans and the idea of destroying them appeals to me. I saw this bitter salvo from David French when I was on the road at the Amren […]

  • American Renaissance 2023: Reasons for Optimism

    Counter Currents - Aug 16th 2023 11:18am EDT

    3,765 words I was down in the dumps last weekend when I headed once more to the annual American Renaissance conference. This year was a significant milestone for the organization, founded by Jared Taylor in 1990: It was the twentieth such conference. I was hoping that spending some time with fellow haters would perk me […]

  • Charlie Kirk: Matt Walsh Said Nothing Wrong

    Matt Walsh just going full Jared Taylor and the Daily Wire seems completely fine with it. https://t.co/EqKJHphlin — @shaneburley.bsky.social (@shane_burley1) August 13, 2023 Matt Walsh said nothing wrong. In fact, he said what most Americans take at face value, that heritage and culture are connected and that America was founded by Anglo-Saxons and based upon […]

  • Trump Indicted In Georgia

    Occidental Dissent - Aug 15th 2023 9:08am EDT

    Why should anyone be bored with our politics? Sure, Donald Trump is running for president again and has been indicted again (we have seen it three times before), but we are at the point where you can begin to feel the pull of the waterfall ahead. History is speeding up. The 3,000 foot drop into […]

  • Compact: Against the Eugenicons

    Occidental Dissent - Aug 11th 2023 2:23pm EDT

    Briefly: 1. I’m currently on the way to Amren with my wife. I don’t have the time to respond to this rant from Michael Lind. 2. Now that we are deep in a crisis era, the old taboos are crumbling and formerly marginalized ideas are gaining rapid acceptance. Everything is becoming more fluid so to […]

  • Tabletmag: The Rise of the Alt-Right

    Occidental Dissent - Aug 11th 2023 10:45am EDT

    Editor’s Note: It has been six years since the torch march in Charlottesville. As a brand, the Alt-Right is dead. It has gone the way of White Nationalism which was itself a rebrand. Many of the most influential figures in the Alt-Right have completely imploded or flamed out like Richard Spencer and MILO. Some of […]

    Occidental Dissent - Aug 10th 2023 9:18am EDT

    I said 30 years ago that the System needed to fall before we could create something useful again for freedom and prosperity. Donald Trump is now the sledgehammer pulverizing that System. A veritable battering ram against the Gates of Evil and Corruption. Stand back and observe. — J. M. Hill (@JMH12061951) August 9, 2023 What […]

  • Poll Watch: Majority of Americans Oppose More Aid For Ukraine

    Occidental Dissent - Aug 9th 2023 9:52am EDT

    It is the dog days of summer. Republicans now control the House with a narrow majority. Ukraine’s counteroffensive has sputtered to a halt. Public opinion has swung against continuing to fund the war – 55% of Americans and 71% of Republican voters are now opposed more funding for Ukraine. The 2024 presidential election cycle is […]

  • New York Times: Trump Charges Could Speed Moves To Censure or Impeach Biden

    Occidental Dissent - Aug 8th 2023 9:29am EDT

    Good morning. As I have repeatedly told friends in recent months, we are long past the red pilling stage or the activism stage. You don’t need to “wake people up” or go out and engage in activism. Putting a target on your back in our political climate is dangerous. We are now in the mass […]

  • Washington Post: Trump Indictment Yields Radically Different Reactions In Divided America

    Occidental Dissent - Aug 7th 2023 8:30pm EDT

    Republicans are winning married men by 20 points, married women by 14 points, and unmarried men by 7 points. So who is keeping Democrats competitive?

  • Normal Times

    Occidental Dissent - Aug 7th 2023 1:30pm EDT

    We don’t live in normal times anymore. The world that I grew up in during the 1980s and 1990s has vanished. The world of the 2000s in which I formed my radical political views also now feels like a distant memory. Sure, there was Waco and Ruby Ridge, the Oklahoma City bombing, the impeachment of […]

  • The Case for Donald Trump In 2024

    Occidental Dissent - Aug 6th 2023 10:17pm EDT

    I’ve been watching public affairs on a macro level for decades. I’ve come to this conclusion in mid-2023. We in the US have two realistic options: 1) a national divorce; or 2) a civil war between nationalists and communists. If there’s a viable third option, please tell me. — J. M. Hill (@JMH12061951) August 6, […]

    Occidental Dissent - Aug 1st 2023 11:16am EDT

    Even if “Our Democracy” chooses to reelect Donald Trump as president in 2024 (a very real possibility in light of the RCP average), David Frum believes it “would settle nothing.” Democrats intend to move forward with taking out a sitting president through the legal process. The Atlantic: Both his supporters and and his opponents assume […]

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 31st 2023 11:07am EDT

    Fair warning. I don’t agree with Whatifalthist on everything. I do agree with him though on some big picture things like historical cycles, cultural demography and where current trends are headed. Note: I have covered a lot of the same ground for over a decade here.

  • Justice Department Piles More Charges On Donald Trump

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 28th 2023 10:45am EDT

    This is interesting. I’m starting to get out of my writing slump. While Donald Trump ran for president in 2016 and 2020, we have never had a presidential election where the leading opposition candidate is facing spending the rest of his life in prison. This has also never happened before in a political atmosphere as […]

  • Michael Anton: The Pessimistic Case for the Future

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 22nd 2023 12:16pm EDT

    This is a very good summary of our present moment from Michael Anton. I’m sure pretty much everyone here would cosign it. This has been the radical view for at least twenty years. Compact: “Recently, I was asked to make the “pessimistic case for the future.” I present instead more of a “pessimistic take on […]

    1,456 words The following is a commemoration for Willis A. Carto, who was born 97 years ago today. For me, one of the great takeaways from the Willis Allison Carto Online Presidential Library is watching the conservative mainstream drift off into the distance while Mr. Carto basically stayed in the same place. Beginning in the […]
