  • NatCon II: Patrick Deneen

    Occidental Dissent - Nov 12th 2021 1:57pm EST

    I pretty much agree with what Patrick Deneen says here. Imagine not knowing that “post-liberalism” was Jeffersonianism in practice. In the original White Republic, “equality” was something that only existed between the sovereign states. Unfortunately, he doesn’t go into how Lincoln destroyed the Constitution and how the Radical Republicans created the proposition nation liberal state […]

  • Los Angeles Times: Pew’s 2021 Political Typology

    Occidental Dissent - Nov 12th 2021 1:12pm EST

    Who are these people? Los Angeles Times: “The Populists group, the one most closely identified with former President Trump‘s style of politics, has a negative view of huge swaths of American society — big corporations, but also the entertainment industry, tech companies, labor unions, colleges and universities, and K-12 schools. Nearly 9 in 10 of […]

  • Breaking Points: Krystal Ball Dismantles MSNBC’s Woke Racism

    Occidental Dissent - Nov 9th 2021 1:12pm EST

    Krystal and Kyle have a tendency to downplay the effect that excessive wokeness is having on turning off White voters before swinging back around and acknowledging that it is a major problem for Democrats. A good example of this is the “what about about New Jersey” take. There was a similar margin swing against Democrats […]

  • Youngkin’s Anti-Woke Mandate?

    Occidental Dissent - Nov 8th 2021 7:41pm EST

    Could Georgia go all the way and win the national championship this year? Could the GOP catch a red wave, crush the Demoncrats, own the libs and retake the House and Senate in the 2022 midterms? Could Blumpf retake the White House in 2024? Both of these things are possible and even probable at this […]

  • Henry Olsen: Margin Shifts

    Occidental Dissent - Nov 8th 2021 4:48pm EST

    Henry Olsen lays out what a 12 point margin shift would look like playing out on a national scale in the 2022 and 2024 elections. The Washington Post: “The shift against Democratic candidates in Virginia and New Jersey in last Tuesday’s elections has shocked the left. But if anything, Democrats understate the widespread danger their […]

  • NBC Narratives: Youngkin Rural Voter Landslide Sounds Alarm For Democrats

    Occidental Dissent - Nov 7th 2021 5:19pm EST

    Pretty much. Progressive activists are driving up turnout and creating “Assad-like margins” among White rural voters. At the same time, Democrats have maxed out the black vote and have been slipping with White women, Independents and “Latinx” voters. NBC Narratives: “In 2020, President Joe Biden lost rural Virginia by about 6 points. The loss was […]

  • The Atlantic: How Virginia Democrats Fell Victim To History

    Occidental Dissent - Nov 7th 2021 10:03am EST

    This is an important point. We can talk about how different demographic groups like non-college educated White women shifted between the 2020 election and the 2021 elections, but explosive Republican turnout and those “Assad-like margins” in rural areas had more to do with McAuliffe’s defeat in Virginia. It seems that the latter is more likely […]

  • Sheldon Adelson’s Widow Is Ready To Purchase Congress

    Occidental Dissent - Nov 7th 2021 8:06am EST

    We appear to be locked in for the next year or two: Trump voters are angry, fired up and engaged in politics while Biden voters are increasingly disillusioned with politics Clearly, the 2022 midterms will be determined more by waxing anti-Biden sentiment than waning anti-Trump sentiment. This assumes that Blumpf will have the strategic patience […]

  • Live Thread: 2021 Virginia Governor’s Race

    Occidental Dissent - Nov 2nd 2021 6:40pm EDT

    Prediction: I’m pessimistic about Virginia. I will be delighted though if I am proven wrong. I expect Terry McAuliffe will win a narrow victory due to mail in ballots and early voting. I think too many people voted too early. I also think all the red counties will be counted early again, which will show […]

  • New York Times: Lincoln Broke Our Constitution: Then He Remade It

    Occidental Dissent - Nov 2nd 2021 4:50pm EDT

    I agree with Noah Feldman. The Confederates were right. New York Times: “Who created the Constitution we have today? As a law professor, I’ve always thought the best answer was “the framers”: James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and the other delegates who attended the Philadelphia convention in the summer of 1787. The Constitution they drafted has […]

  • NatCon II: The New Fusionism

    Occidental Dissent - Nov 2nd 2021 3:09pm EDT

    Brilliant lecture by @yhazony. A new fusion by liberal and conservative opponents of today’s radical progressives is essential, but any fusionism must be on better terms for conservatives, above all, public recognition of the dominant Christian culture. https://t.co/fhgtouaotm — Patrick Deneen (@PatrickDeneen) November 1, 2021 @yhazony at the National Conservatism Conference: What was Reagan era […]

  • Which Conservative Heroes?

    Occidental Dissent - Nov 2nd 2021 2:17pm EDT

    I dislike the term “conservatism.” The term is firmly associated with Northern conservatism in the United States. As George Fitzhugh and Robert Lewis Dabney pointed out ages ago, Northern conservatism is worthless. In the 21st century, there is nothing to add to Dabney’s observation that “what was the resisted novelty of yesterday is today one […]

  • NatCon II: Josh Hawley

    Occidental Dissent - Nov 2nd 2021 12:34pm EDT

    I like Sen. Josh Hawley. I don’t really disagree with anything he says here. It is true that millions of young White American men have been plunged into a crisis because we live in a toxic culture. Last month, a young White man who I went to high school with who was in the grade […]

  • David French: A Christian Defense of American Classical Liberalism

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 31st 2021 10:58am EDT

    Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. I sent an email about this article to Brion McClanahan. We will see if he responds to it with his own take. I’ve been criticizing David French for years. I was doing it long before it became popular. When French whines about how the Alt-Right came after […]

  • Glenn Youngkin Is Probably Better Than Terry McAuliffe

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 30th 2021 10:48am EDT

    Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. Is Glenn Youngkin our guy? No. Is the Virginia governor’s race the most important election ever? Hardly. As I thought about this while at work yesterday, I came to the conclusion that I was setting aside my usual neutrality and indifference in this race. We actually do […]

  • Metternich, the Anti-Nationalist?

    Counter Currents - Oct 28th 2021 7:44am EDT

    1,523 words Wolfram SiemannMetternich: Strategist and Visionary Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 2019 Julius Evola called Klemens von Metternich the “last great European.” The Right-wing philosopher saw the Austrian statesman as his ideal leader instead of the fascist strongmen he saw in his own time. Statements like this have made the Right partial to Metternich, […]

  • Thomas Edsall: The Moral Chasm That Has Opened Up Between Right and Left Is Widening

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 27th 2021 9:42am EDT

    Thomas Edsall has an interesting new column up this morning. New York Times: “There has been a remarkable erosion in public tolerance of “offensive expression about race, gender and religion,” according to Dennis Chong and Morris Levy, political scientists at the University of Southern California, and Jack Citrin, a political scientist at Berkeley. “Tolerance has declined overall,” they […]

  • NatCon II Is Coming Up In Orlando

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 26th 2021 9:21am EDT

    I find Yoram Hazony’s “National Conservatism” about as exciting as the prospect that the GOP will retake Congress in the 2022 midterms: The New Republic: “On Halloween, the second National Conservatism conference, or NatCon II, will kick off in Orlando, Florida. It is hard to know quite what to make of the lineup for the three-day […]

  • What Is American Populism?

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 25th 2021 10:28am EDT

    I enjoyed this old episode. I listened to it on the road yesterday. A populist is nothing more than an angry, usually rural or small town Jeffersonian who is trying to protect his community from a relentless assault by arrogant metropolitan progressive elites.
