  • Anonymous Goes Public

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 28th 2020 4:55pm EDT

    So, it turns out that “Anonymous” was Miles Taylor, who worked as chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security under Kirstjen Nielsen from 2017 to 2019, who boasted about subverting Trump’s immigration agenda from the inside on behalf of “the Resistance.” New York Times: “WASHINGTON — Miles Taylor, the former chief of staff […]

  • Patriot Front Is Preparing For The Post-Trump Future

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 27th 2020 5:00pm EDT

    When this nightmare is over, we need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. It would erase Trump’s lies, comfort those who have been harmed by his hatefulness, and name every official, politician, executive, and media mogul whose greed and cowardice enabled this catastrophe.— Robert Reich (@RBReich) October 17, 2020 Joshua Zeitz in Politico Magazine today: “Go […]

  • Amy Coney Barrett Sworn In As Supreme Court Justice

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 26th 2020 9:48pm EDT

    Indeed, it’s an amazing testament to the soft power of social liberalism that the court has remained so consistently on its side:https://t.co/3vFVgn98zI— Ross Douthat (@DouthatNYT) October 26, 2020 The court’s justices being picked mostly by one political party even as the court itself remains, in effect, neoliberal — socially progressive and pro-business – cycle after […]

  • The Center Right Is Worthless

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 22nd 2020 1:54pm EDT

    Why should anyone support conservative liberalism? As I said in the previous article, it only wields power to advance its anti-state, small government, pro-business, libertarian, free market ideology. Basically, if you vote for these people, what you are going to get is cultural libertarianism. They’re not interested in representing you or doing anything for you. […]

  • Ben Sasse Slams Donald Trump For Flirting With White Supremacy

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 15th 2020 10:30pm EDT

    I’m not sure what else Trump can do. He has disavowed “white supremacy” at least three times this month and promised blacks $500 billion dollars to get them to vote for him. How many times does he have to condemn “white supremacy” to satisfy Ben Sasse?

  • Amy Coney Barrett Condemns White Supremacy

  • T.S. Eliot: Anti-Modern Modernist

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 18th 2020 7:50pm EDT

    Modernism is an aesthetic. As a sensibility, it is compatible with most ideologies like Romanticism. There were Left Modernists and Right Modernists. There were even a few Modernists who were not atheists, bohemian degenerates, progressive liberals, socialists and anarchists and who had views similar to our own. The following excerpt comes from Peter Gay’s book […]

  • Rod Dreher’s Weirdness

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 8th 2020 6:19pm EDT

    Rod Dreher is a strange man. TAC: “Now, what I found most interesting in Ehrett’s review, and definitely something I want to think about, is his argument that Christianity is really going to be a bystander in the coming clash between Progressivism and Atavism. You really need to read his review discussion of the idea, […]

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

    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 […]

    George Fitzhugh, Sociology for the South, or, The Failure of Free Society The 1840s and 1850s were a time much like our own.
