H.L. Mencken, Nietzsche and the Death of the Victorian Mainstream
Occidental Dissent - Sep 12th 2020 9:55am EDTWhy should anyone bother studying this? What relevance does it have to our own times? I would respond by saying it is worth knowing when, why and how our own age began and when, why and how the old mainstream crumbled. The following excerpt comes from Henry F. May’s book The End of American Innocence, […]

American Racial Decline and Modernism
Occidental Dissent - Sep 8th 2020 12:10pm EDTI’m bumping up my response to ATBOTL from the comments who raises some good points: “American radical abolitionists like William Lloyd Garrison and Charles Sumner were openly anti-white in the current sense long before modernists had any influence anywhere or even existed. Most significantly, they a huge following among average, non-elite middle class whites in […]

William James and Modernist Psychology
Occidental Dissent - Sep 7th 2020 1:27pm EDTThis is an excellent book. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

The Origins of the Modern Left
Occidental Dissent - Sep 6th 2020 2:24pm EDTWhat is the “mainstream”? Where did the modern Left come from? In The Birth of the Mainstream and The Death of the Victorian Mainstream, I began to pinpoint its emergence in the years around World War I. It was the moment in time when the Romantic or Victorian sensibility that dominated the 19th century – […]
The Revolt of the Elites
Occidental Dissent - Aug 30th 2020 10:27pm EDTWhy do our cosmopolitan elites hate their own people? There are two popular theories in our circles that explain this phenomena. The first theory holds that it is the result of a Jewish culture of critique. The second theory holds that liberalism has degenerated our culture. While there is a great deal of truth to […]

Charles Baudelaire: The Tortured Soul Who Inspired Modernism
Occidental Dissent - Aug 28th 2020 8:28pm EDTI’ve never been into the arts. I have always been far more interested in history. In the course of my research, I have become increasingly convinced that each age of history is dominated by its zeitgeist which is the creation of a small group of elites who dream a big idea. It can be artists, […]
The Moderns

Major Turnings and Communication Mediums
Occidental Dissent - Aug 6th 2020 7:45pm EDTBobT writes in the comments: “Instead, their gripe is deracination, the degeneration and erosion of their culture, the absence of restraint, the loss of its identity, cohesion and vitality and their demographic replacement by immigrants.” Dissidents like this aren’t going to gain any traction for one simple reason: Everyone is hopelessly addicted to their phones […]

The Death of Modernism
Occidental Dissent - Aug 5th 2020 5:03pm EDTHave you ever wondered where we are at in history? It is easier to think about the past and the people who lived through it.

An Intellectual History of “Woke” Left Modernism
Occidental Dissent - Jul 22nd 2020 1:14am EDTLeft Modernism is ubiquitous. It is synonymous with American mainstream culture which is a composite mix of liberalism, modernism and cosmopolitanism. It is essentially what we are against. Modernism rejects authority and tradition in favor of self-interest, self-expression, self-achievement, self-realization, self-fulfillment and self-advancement. It rejects the past in favor of the future. It is always […]

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

Occidental Dissent - Jul 10th 2020 10:15pm EDTIn the final issue of The Charleston Mercury, Robert Barnwell Rhett described our regional cultural divide this way: “The South, a more tolerant and congenial region, did not like change and revered the past, while the North, “fond of novelties, misnamed “progress,” was the slave of its own dogmatism.” This was a common refrain in […]
