  • The Atlantic: The Fight To Decouple Sex From Marriage

    Occidental Dissent - May 19th 2022 11:24am EDT

    Years ago, I read and reviewed a couple of books on the history of marriage during an argument with incels. The books confirmed what I already knew which is that there has been more change in the West in the norms around sexuality and core institutions like marriage and the family which used to restrain […]

  • Kevin Williamson: Even Our White Supremacists Aren’t Very Interested In White Supremacy

    Occidental Dissent - May 18th 2022 7:51pm EDT

    Very true. If we had a magic wand, we would jump at the chance to wish these people away. They are not helping the pro-White cause. National Review: “There is a reason these killers almost always act alone. Other than the occasional Leopold-and-Loeb flavor of a crime such as the massacre at Columbine, mass shooters […]

  • Politico: The Supreme Court and The End of the Democratic Century

    Occidental Dissent - May 13th 2022 11:40am EDT

    I made a similar argument here. Politico: “It’s not clear where historians will ultimately draw the line, but one could make a good case that the loomingDobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health decision marks the end of a Democratic century. The moral arc of the universe may have seemed like it was bending toward a liberal vision […]

  • Abortion and Atheism

    Occidental Dissent - May 13th 2022 12:28am EDT

    Today I learned … 84% of the religiously unaffiliated are pro-abortion 97% of atheists are pro-abortion 87% of agnostics are pro-abortion 80% of Americans whose religion is “nothing in particular” are pro-abortion 60% of Whites are pro-abortion 74% of White evangelicals are pro-life Among Whites, attitudes toward abortion are strongly associated with atheism at one […]

  • Memelord Dalí Remembering Salvador Dalí (May 11, 1904–January 23, 1989)

    Counter Currents - May 11th 2022 9:58am EDT

    Philippe Halsman photographs Salvador Dalí, Decline of Hair on the Face, 1954. 1,741 words It’s the most basic thing in the world: You can look at a rock, think it’s a bear, and run away. Or you can glimpse a bear, assume it’s a rock, and get eaten. Over time, evolution will select for seeing […]

  • Breaking Points: Roe v. Wade Not Likely To Save Democrats

    Occidental Dissent - May 9th 2022 2:23pm EDT

    Sure, there will be college educated PMC White women who will be stirred up and energized to vote for Democrats, but what effect will the demise of Roe v. Wade have on White evangelical turnout and rural margins for Republicans? Does the Democrat base respond to a crushing defeat or does the Republican base show […]

  • Gretchen Whitmer: I’m a Pro-Choice Governor, and I Am Not Going To Sit On My Hands Waiting For Congress

    Occidental Dissent - May 9th 2022 10:38am EDT

    I was floored by this headline. There are just no words to describe this level of hypocrisy. New York Times: “As I read the U.S. Supreme Court’s draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, I was devastated. It was shocking to see, laid out in cold legalese, the blatant ideological reasoning gutting the constitutional right to […]

  • New York Times: If Roe Falls, Could Gay Marriage Be Next?

    Occidental Dissent - May 8th 2022 4:18pm EDT

    I hope so. New York Times: “WASHINGTON — When the Supreme Court heard arguments in December over the fate of the constitutional right to abortion, it was already clear that other rights, notably including same-sex marriage, could be at risk if the court overruled Roe v. Wade. The logic of that legal earthquake, Justice Sonia Sotomayor predicted, […]

  • The Political Cesspool: The Demise of Roe v. Wade

    Occidental Dissent - May 8th 2022 11:17am EDT

    I had a great time on The Political Cesspool tonight. I was on in the second hour, but you listen to the whole show dissecting the abortion issue and the potential demise of Roe v. Wade from a legal, moral and sexual standpoint. Hour 1: Sam Dickson Hour 2: Hunter Wallace Hour 3: Roger Devlin […]

  • A Baptist America Is Inevitable

    Occidental Dissent - May 7th 2022 2:38pm EDT

    I’m not a Baptist. I’m certainly an ally though against the cultural termites who are gnawing away at the foundation of our civilization. Southern identity, the Baptist faith, social conservatism and especially populism are deeply linked. Note: No one will ever convince me that Southern Baptists are better off when they fall away from their […]

  • Breaking Points: Barstool Conservative Dave Portnoy Plans To Vote Democrat Over Roe v. Wade

    Occidental Dissent - May 7th 2022 1:35pm EDT

    LMAO. What does Caitlyn Jenner think of this?

  • New York Times: Battle Over Abortion Threatens To Deepen America’s Divide

    Occidental Dissent - May 7th 2022 10:03am EDT

    Yes, I know. That’s one reason why I am so strongly for it. In the long view of American history, the demise of Roe and returning the abortion issue to the states is a key milestone in the erosion of progressive liberal hegemony. New York Times: “WASHINGTON — For years, the United States has been […]

  • Politico: Roe’s Demise Is a Milestone In Sundering America

    Occidental Dissent - May 6th 2022 1:06pm EDT

    This implications of the Dobbs case are even more exciting to contemplate. If there isn’t a constitutional right to abortion in the Constitution, then there isn’t a right to gay marriage or sodomy or interracial marriage either. We can fight these issues out at the state level. Politico: “I was talking to an old classmate […]

  • Identity Dixie: Why Generation X Probably Hates You

    Occidental Dissent - May 6th 2022 11:57am EDT

    Padraig Martin gets it. Identity Dixie: “If you are like me, born between 1965 – 1980, you belong to Generation X.  There are some defining characteristics of my generational cohort, largely due to how and when we were raised.  Those characteristics make us distinct from the narcissistic Baby Boomers (1946 – 1964) and their pathetic […]

  • Brion McClanahan: Roe v. Wade

    Occidental Dissent - May 5th 2022 5:07pm EDT

    We haven’t discussed the states’ rights and decentralization angle of returning abortion and hopefully issues like gay marriage and interracial marriage back to the states.

  • Occidental Dissent Endorses Mo Brooks

    Occidental Dissent - May 5th 2022 3:24pm EDT

    We’re far more familiar with Mo Brooks who is the best congressman in Alabama in the mold of Jeff Sessions. Sessions carried the banner of populist nationalism alone in the Senate for years before Trump arrived on the scene. Trump has repeatedly screwed up in Alabama. 1. Trump took Jeff Sessions out of the U.S. […]

  • The Atlantic: America’s Blue-Red Divide Is About To Get Starker

    Occidental Dissent - May 5th 2022 2:00pm EDT

    Abortion is a practice. Ronald Brownstein gets it. The abortion issue is really just a proxy of a much deeper cultural divide. The “pro-choice” crowd supports abortion for the same reason it supports atheism and “trans” and “gay marriage” and miscegenation and feminism and divorce and cosmopolitanism and illegal immigration and antiracism and interracial marriage […]

  • New York Times: J.D. Vance Is More Proof That Trump Is King of the Republican Party

    Occidental Dissent - May 4th 2022 11:06am EDT

    I’m happy that J.D. Vance won. I almost can’t believe that I am saying that in light of his past, but it is true. Vance’s victory in Ohio has upset a lot of the right people like the publisher of The Bulwark. The thing that persuaded me to support Vance was his willingness to openly […]

  • J.D. Vance Wins Ohio Senate Primary

    Occidental Dissent - May 3rd 2022 9:13pm EDT

    I’ve seen enough: J.D.

  • Axios: Democrats Lack Votes To End Filibuster For Abortion Protection

    Occidental Dissent - May 3rd 2022 2:01pm EDT

    Twitter unleashed a primal scream in unison last night: “END THE FILIBUSTER.” Axios: “Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) said Tuesday they plan to uphold the filibuster in the wake of the leaked draft decision from the U.S. Supreme Court on overturning Roe v. Wade, denying Democrats the necessary votes to protect abortion rights. […]

  • Secular Talk: Will The Supreme Court Come After Gay Marriage After Roe v. Wade?

    Occidental Dissent - May 3rd 2022 11:33am EDT

    Hopefully. “Gay marriage” is an absurdity like “trans.” It was also forced down the throats of the states by judicial fiat. If the Supreme Court reversed course and actually went on the offensive on these cultural issues instead of handing us defeat after defeat like Obergefell and Bostock, I would enthusiastically vote Republican. Note: BTW, […]

  • Roe’s Demise Is a Victory For Republicanism

    Occidental Dissent - May 3rd 2022 9:11am EDT

    I was thinking about this last night before going to bed. 1. Roe is likely being struck down by a 5-4 majority on the Supreme Court. 2. Democrats will try to “codify Roe” before the midterms, but will fail due to the Senate filibuster. Roe is going to get struck down because Democrats are unable […]

  • Matthew Continetti: How The Right Misunderstands Its History

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 30th 2022 1:39pm EDT

    Bill Kristol’s son-in-law has a new article on the history of the conservative establishment in the post-World War II era. National Review: “Conservatives like to say that their movement began in the wilderness. Then William F. Buckley Jr. came along and founded National Review in 1955. He led the Right to political relevance by winning […]
