    Occidental Dissent - Dec 18th 2020 5:52pm EST

    Bernie Sanders went on the Senate floor this afternoon and took another shot at passing a clean bill with nothing but the $1,200 stimulus checks: I am on the floor urging the Senate to provide $1,200 direct payments to all working-class Americans and $500 to their kids.Millions are out of work, hungry, and can’t pay […]

  • Nick Fuentes: Stop The Steal Is Largely Run By Grifters

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 13th 2020 7:49pm EST

    H/T Autismo I agree with Nick Fuentes. Is he referring to Ali Alexander? Back in 2016, Ali was trying to steal the delegates for Ted Cruz. Nick is lucky that he wasn’t allowed on stage with the rest of the cranks and grifters at the Jericho March. It struck me as less of a Trump […]

  • Jacobin: The Siren Song of “Pro-Worker” Conservatism

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 11th 2020 1:27pm EST

    Interesting article. Basically, I agree that the ideal of a pro-White, pro-Western, pro-working class National Populist version of conservatism taking root in the Republican Party is a mirage. Jacobin: “There’s a new, increasingly assertive, tendency on the Right. These conservatives are not rabid free marketeers, hawkish neocons, or religious fundamentalists. They hate Beltway elitism and […]

    Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. Strange.Why isn’t there an essay on social identity issues? After all, this is the axis that unites GOP voters and which is the common ground between populists and conservatives.

  • Trump’s Populist Record

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 8th 2020 11:10am EST

    Even this is painting an overly rosy picture of Trump’s populist record. TAC: “Although Joe Biden advertised himself as a “transitional candidate” during the 2020 campaign, Donald Trump will probably be remembered as the transitional president. The issues his 2016 campaign raised, such as deindustrialization and competition with China, will continue to shape policy for […]

    LMAO. I strongly disagree with this study.

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 2nd 2020 3:38pm EST

    If Donald Trump had succeeded in moving the ball on nationalist and populist issues, we wouldn’t have been so bitterly disappointed with his presidency. Instead, he sold out to the Republican donor class and continued Zombie Reaganism, which he had been given a mandate to break with. National Review: “Since the Trump revolution, there has […]
