  • National Review: Why Democrats Need to Name and Isolate Violent Street Activists

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 2nd 2020 9:37pm EDT

    I encourage our readers to read this important post at National Review by Dan McLaughlin aka “Baseball Crank”: National Review: “As I noted yesterday, Joe Biden has thus far skated on having to identify who in his party and on his own half of the political spectrum is responsible for riots, looting, arson, and other […]

  • The Modernist Crisis

    Occidental Dissent - Aug 7th 2020 2:22pm EDT

    Editor’s Note: Above “Left wing parliamentarians dressed in the colours of the rainbow pose in front of the Polish Parliament (Sejm)” In the New York Times, I think David Brooks has a good summary of the present moment. New York Times: “For decades conservatives were happy to live in that paradigm. But as years went […]

  • Trump Supporters Make Their Case For 2020

    Occidental Dissent - Aug 6th 2020 3:32pm EDT

    Editor’s Note: I’m listening to this while throwing darts against the wall. I couldn’t care less. Either way, the result is going to be same. Half the country is going to consider the winner illegitimate. The result will be a downward spiral into Crisis. There are no brakes on this train. Derailment is inevitable.

    Conservative liberalism is a worldwide failure. It is the same way here and stems from the same causes.

  • The Tory Tradition

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 14th 2020 9:02pm EDT

    I’ve long hated the word “conservative.” I have never identified with mainstream conservatism in the United States. More recently, I have started using the term “conservative liberal” to describe these people in order to better contrast them with my own worldview. I’m a natural conservative but not in the same sense as those people. I […]

  • Letter From a “Racist”

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 6th 2020 12:21pm EDT

    I know what you think of people like us. I have watched you nearly every day for the past 20 years. In your view, we are “racists” and “white supremacists.” We are the “Alt-Right.” We are “White Nationalists.” We are “extremists.” We are skeptics and reactionaries wedded to the past. In contrast, you are not […]

    What is American conservatism? The American Conservative is holding a symposium on this question. Naturally, the question is being answered by the same group of people who are currently in charge of defining conservatism. What does American conservatism look like from the outside or the Far Right? How would we define American conservatism? What does […]

  • Gov. Tate Reeves Cancels Mississippi’s State Flag

    Occidental Dissent - Jun 30th 2020 7:02pm EDT

    I’ve been saying it for years. “Conservative” means spineless loser. These people never conserve anything except for what their donors tell them to do. Whenever you vote for Republicans, you are voting for wealthy people and corporate interests who are only talking a good game about social issues to con you. History repeats itself. Tucker […]

  • The Quiet Death of Civic Nationalism

    Occidental Dissent - May 27th 2020 1:52pm EDT

    Looking back on the 2016 election, I supported Donald Trump mainly because I was persuaded by the argument that he was moving the Overton Window. The difference between nationalism and the liberal Right is based on how we perceive and value others in our communities and nation. Here is how I think about it: Libertarianism […]
