  • Charlemagne’s Saxon Wars

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 12th 2020 4:13pm EST

    Is Christianity for cucks? Does it require defeat in this world? It is worth remembering Charlemagne’s wars against Old Saxony. The Frisians and Saxons were conquered by the Franks and were forced to Christianity. Charlemagne had Irminsul cut down and committed a genocide against the Saxons. German military pressure on the Danevirke forced the conversion of […]

  • William the Conquerer’s Speech at Hastings (1066)

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 12th 2020 11:13am EST

    Is Christianity for cucks? Does it require defeat in this world? If that was always the case, then how did Christianity ever spread across Northern Europe? The Viking Age in Britain came to an end with the Norman Conquest of 1066. What would William the Conqueror have thought of this debate? Maybe it is American […]

  • Genetics and the Anglo-Saxon Migrations

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 11th 2020 8:56pm EST

    This is fascinating. Who are the English, Scots and Welsh? Did the Anglo-Saxons wipe out the Romano-British population or intermarry with them? Did the Romans or the Vikings leave behind any genetic legacy in the English population? How related are the Scots-Irish to the English? Oxford University: “The genetic map of Britain shows that most […]

  • A Real Economic Meltdown: The End of Roman Britain

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 9th 2020 1:25pm EST

    Could there be a collapse of a civilization? It sounds slightly ridiculous to even type the words. Everyone knows how pointless it is to sit around and wait for the collapse. Liberals also know that civilization only progresses and history goes straight forward. Civilization has collapsed before though. In the span of a generation from […]

  • England Is Old, Very Old

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 9th 2020 1:04pm EST

    Alabama is 200 years old. My paternal ancestor came here from North Carolina around 1840. Even here in the Alabama Black Belt, the landscape is unrecognizable from what it was a century ago when the wild turkey and whitetail deer had been driven to extinction and this whole area which is now heavily forested was […]

  • The Martyrdom of King Edmund

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 8th 2020 9:51pm EST

    How would the modern barbarian defeat the mainstream conservative? The scourging and decapitation of Edmund the Martyr would be unnecessary. All it would take is to call them a mean name to get them to surrender their country.

  • The Real Björn Ironside

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 4th 2020 2:40pm EST

    Björn Ironside, a son of the legendary Viking sea king Ragnar Lothbrok, is one of the main characters in Vikings. In the mid-9th century, Europe was divided between the Christian West, the Muslim South and the pagan North and East. Western Christendom was centered on the Carolingian Empire, the surviving Christian kingdoms of northern Iberia […]

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 30th 2019 12:38pm EST

    The Scots-Irish came to America via Ulster from the Borderlands between Scotland and England. Before there was a Scotland and England though, the Old North was inhabited by Celtic Britons during the Early Middle Ages. Gradually, the Old North was squeezed between these two expanding power centers and became a war zone for centuries. It […]

  • The Nordic Bronze Age

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 29th 2019 10:54am EST

    The ancestors of the Anglo-Saxons only came to Britain from northern Germany and Denmark in the 5th century. The concept of an “Anglo-Saxon” people dates back to King Alfred’s time in the 9th century during the struggle against the Vikings that created the English. What were they up to before that in the Bronze Age […]

    Who created England? How was England created? Is it synonymous with liberalism? It is only due to an unprecedented loss of identity and historical memory in recent decades that such questions are even asked. From the Sack of Lindisfarne in 793 to Æthelstan’s reign as the first King of the English in 927, England (Angleland) […]

    It is the end of the year. I don’t feel like engaging much with current events. The world sucks under liberal democracy. Mainstream conservatives are pretending to oppose transgenderism to whip up their voters for the 2020 election. See the previous 75 articles on that phony culture war. Instead of tracking modern degenerates, I feel […]

    Editor’s Note: We are extremely skeptical of Boris Johnson and the Tories, but Brexit is finally happening which was the biggest issue in British politics. Unfortunately, the Tories supported Brexit largely because they want to turn Britain into some kind of free trade utopia, which will do precisely nothing to change the circumstances of their […]

    The entire history of the United States falls within the Modern era. The ethnic and cultural distinction between Yankee and Southerner can similarly be traced back to the Early Modern Era and has its roots in divisions over climate, slavery and religion. The Anglo-American founding stock came from different parts of the British Isles. The […]

    The World War II debate continues to rage in the comments. It seems like everyone has a strong opinion on the subject. I’ve always hated the World Wars and the 20th century. Liberalism won World War II and the end of that conflict represents the beginning of our own era in which “racism” and “anti-Semitism” […]

  • Barbarians: The Saxons

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 23rd 2019 11:40am EST

    Britain is a “Nation of Immigrants.” What was it like back then when it was a “Nation of Immigrants”? You would think the English would know better from their own history than to invite foreigners to come to England to settle and take over their own country. Vortigern could be the modern day liberal.
