The New Woman and 1920s Fashion
Occidental Dissent - Oct 8th 2020 11:56am EDTAs we have seen, the “New Woman” who smoked Torches of Freedom was a literary creation of Modernism that originated in Henrik Ibsen’s play The Doll House (1879) and was popularized by Henry James in his novels in the late 19th century. In America, the New Woman became known as the Flapper in the 1920s. […]
The Hays Code
Occidental Dissent - Oct 7th 2020 10:08am EDTIn the 1920s, millions of Americans began watching Hollywood movies and movie theaters spread across America. Almost as soon as film developed into the preeminent art form of 20th century mass culture, some Americans began to worry that mass entertainment was corrupting morals. The following excerpt comes from Nathan Miller’s New World Coming: The 1920s […]
The Sun Also Rises
Occidental Dissent - Oct 3rd 2020 2:32pm EDTIn the 1920s, Franz Boas and his students in the social sciences challenged traditional Victorian beliefs and values in race, sexuality and gender roles in favor of cultural egalitarianism. Meanwhile in the arts and literature, Modernist poets, critics and novelists simultaneously challenged Victorian beliefs and values in manners, morals, beauty, sexuality and gender roles in […]
The Young Intellectuals and Nietzsche
Occidental Dissent - Sep 28th 2020 10:54am EDTI’ve been getting some pushback against my argument that Friedrich Nietzsche had a major formative impact on the people who created modern American liberalism. The hallmark of modern liberalism is social liberalism or cultural liberalism. It is left-libertarian. It is driven by the transgressive impulse to tear down cultural norms. It is an aesthetic form […]
The Lost Generation and Modernism
Occidental Dissent - Sep 27th 2020 5:27pm EDTI finally watched the whole documentary. In the 1910s, there were only a few Moderns in the United States who were living what at the time were eccentric lifestyles in a few bohemian enclaves in Chicago and New York City. The catastrophe that was World War I which sent 2 million American soldiers to France […]
Randolph Bourne, Modernism and The New Woman
Occidental Dissent - Sep 26th 2020 3:05pm EDTThe “New Woman” of Modern America rejected what it meant to be a woman in Victorian America. In the 19th century, women were either respectable and devoted to their families or were whores and prostitutes. The overwhelming majority of women got married and chose to live a respectable life. The Victorians thought that women were […]
Hidden Hands: The CIA, Modernism and the Cold War
Occidental Dissent - Sep 25th 2020 8:06pm EDTDuring the Cold War, the CIA used jazz, rock and abstract expressionism as weapons to subvert and degenerate the culture of the Eastern Bloc and to promote liberalism and free-market capitalism. Michael Jackson’s music was banned as degenerate art in the Soviet Union. If you look deep into the history of the avant-garde, the neocons […]
Moderns vs. Victorians
Occidental Dissent - Sep 21st 2020 5:21pm EDTI’ve already covered a lot of important ground. Modernism arrived in the United States in the 1910s in Chicago and New York City. The Armory Show of 1913 introduced America to Modern art. It began with the establishment of small bohemian enclaves of avant-garde artists and poets in Chicago and New York City which flowered […]
The Rise of Modernism
Occidental Dissent - Sep 17th 2020 5:27pm EDTI’ve been skipping all around the world. In this article, I will try to sum up the case that I have made so far and where I am going with this argument, which is that the rise of Modernism is central to understanding our decline. In his book The Rise and Fall of Anglo-America, Eric […]

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 […]

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 – […]
Charles Baudelaire: Founding Father of Modernism
Occidental Dissent - Aug 29th 2020 2:14pm EDTIn the troubled life of the mid-19th century French poet Charles Baudelaire, we see the development of some of the key themes of Modernism: Being a social outcast, feeling like an “outsider” and being alienated from society Rejection of bourgeois norms Debauchery (Baudelaire was fascinated with evil and man’s descent into evil) Transgression against bourgeois […]
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
Occidental Dissent - Aug 28th 2020 1:38pm EDTI’ve been a White Nationalist, a Southern Nationalist, Alt-Right. Above all else though, I have been on a journey to fully understand what has gone so terribly wrong with our world and what can be done to fix it. There are few people in our circles who have more exhaustively researched this subject. I’ve been […]
Adolf Hitler and Modernism
Occidental Dissent - Aug 4th 2020 11:01am EDTEditor’s Note: This is a work in progress. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. At least that is how I am starting to think about modernism. We are now living in the degenerate Age of Modernism. It triumphed after World War II. The free love ideal that anyone should be able to have […]

Coronavirus, OnlyFans and Trump’s Immigration Executive Order
Occidental Dissent - Apr 23rd 2020 1:15pm EDTI just watched Ramzpaul’s take on OnlyFans. It occurred to me that this video is an excellent example of Dissident Right thinking in general which mostly amounts to complaining about the poor choices that women are making in contemporary Western societies. In light of the coronavirus, I have been given new insight into why they […]

Nick Fuentes’s Catboy BFF Mocks His Sexuality
Occidental Dissent - Jan 14th 2020 11:27am ESTIs Nick Fuentes attracted to women? I will just say that I don’t think this video helps King Nick of the Groypers at the moment. I will also point out that it was the “wignats” who warned him to stay away from Alt-Lite degenerates like MILO and Baked Alaska. It would have been in his […]
