  • Reconciliation Monument To Be Removed At Arlington National Cemetery

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 18th 2023 9:36pm EST

    I’m fine with this. I have always been against reconciliation. I think it is a good thing that Southern identity is being decoupled from the American Empire. I don’t want Southerners identifying with American patriotism or feeling invested in the U.S. military. It is better for the people who rule us to take the mask […]

  • On White Normie “Brainwashing”: A Reply to Kevin MacDonald, Paul Craig Roberts, & Other Dissidents, Part 2

    Counter Currents - May 18th 2023 8:22am EDT

    words Part 2 of 2 (Part 1 here) In all cases not involving a fully-fledged occupying army, as with Russia after its Civil War ended and with the United States currently, the hostile elites, be they native or alien, who wish to subjugate a population do so by achieving what I call the Stalin clap […]

  • Where Conservatives Get Race Wrong

    Amerika.org - Mar 20th 2023 7:32am EDT

    Conservatives keep making the same mistake they did after the French Revolution. Being pragmatic as well as realistic, they opt for keeping a voice in the political system even as it goes Left, but end up being forced to compromise positions that the next generation then mistakes for the goal. As is no longer taught […]

  • Southern History Series: Review: At the Edge of Empire

  • Counter-Currents: White Nationalism vs. Racially Conscious Ethnonationalisms

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 10th 2023 10:44am EST

    Over at Counter-Currents, White Nationalists are arguing about whether there should be a single federal White empire that spans the globe or numerous independent racially conscious White ethnostates. Greg Johnson and the ethnonationalists are arguing against imperialism. Asier Abadroa and the unionists have been making the case against petty nationalism. Counter-Currents: “This is intended as […]

  • Queen of the World

    Counter Currents - Sep 14th 2022 11:50am EDT

    1,048 words When anyone on planet Earth spoke of “the Queen,” nobody ever asked, “Which Queen?” Everyone knew that “the Queen” meant Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. In that sense, she was the Queen of the world. In the global imagination, Elizabeth II stood for all the queens of the world, indeed all […]

  • White Too Long: White Supremacy, Christian Nationalism, and the Fragile Future of the American Experiment

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 11th 2022 11:10am EDT

    I have the opposite view. The fatal flaw in the American experiment wasn’t the White race, Anglo-Saxon culture, Christianity or republican institutions. The cancer was liberalism which has metastasized to the point where it has sickened and overwhelmed its host. Robert P. Jones:

  • Washington Post: The ‘American Dream’? ‘America First’ Eclipses It

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 11th 2022 10:33am EDT

    Well, this is better than the stupid “fascism” meme. Washington Post: “The simple truth is that there have always been as many resisting American unity as advocating for it, from the fights in the Constitutional Congress to the Civil War, from supporters of regional sectionalism instead of post-bellum reconciliation, to immigration restrictionists and racial segregationists.

  • John Avlon: “Christian Nationalism Is Not Christianity”

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 9th 2022 11:24am EDT

    Christianity is not liberal democracy. As for Christian nationalism, it was pioneered by Lutherans. The following excerpt comes from Eric W. Gritsch’s book A History of Lutheranism: “Lutheranism spread in the north and east of Germany; Catholicism remained entrenched in the south and west. “The Reformation,” as the age of sixteenth-century reform became known, ended […]

  • Bruce Gore: George Whitefield and the Beginning of the Great Awakening

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 8th 2022 10:06am EDT

    We’re getting closer to the American Revolution now. Puritans have settled New England. Quakers have settled in Pennsylvania. Anglicans have settled in the Southern lowlands. Scot Presbyterians and Scot-Irish Presbyterians have settled in Pennsylvania and have begun to fan out across the backcountry and settle North Carolina. As the American colonies have become more settled […]

  • Bruce Gore: Precursors to The Great Awakening

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 5th 2022 2:28pm EDT

    I’m watching a video every other day or so from this series which focuses on the early history of Anglo-Protestants and traces the historical arc from the origins of Calvinism during the Reformation to its spread through Britain and Ireland to the settlement of the American colonies and the English Civil War and ultimately through […]

  • Bruce Gore: Three Waves of Calvinists

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 4th 2022 10:05am EDT

    I’m continuing to slowly work my way through the series which starts in Calvin’s Geneva and builds up to the American Revolution. To recap: Episode 1: Bruce Gore starts the series by asking why the descendants of Puritan colonists in New England and Scots-Irish Presbyterians in the backcountry played such a starring role in the […]

  • Bruce Gore: John Knox and the Scottish Reformation

    Occidental Dissent - Aug 29th 2022 10:28am EDT

    In the last lecture, Bruce Gore explored the seeds of American republicanism in John Calvin’s theology. Calvin himself didn’t have much to say about how the state should be organized though. This lecture explores how Calvinism was brought to Scotland and how John Knox built on Calvin’s legacy. I’m enjoying watching the series because I […]

  • The Origins of White Nationalism

    Occidental Dissent - Aug 21st 2022 12:26pm EDT

    “To rectify the relation that exists between two men, is there no method, then, but that of ending it? The old relation has become unsuitable, obsolete, perhaps unjust; and the remedy is, abolish it; let there henceforth be no relation at all. From the ‘sacrament of marriage’ downwards, human beings used to be manifoldly related […]

  • “Anti-Semitism” Downunder: Left, Right . . . or Imaginary?

    Counter Currents - Jul 20th 2022 4:04pm EDT

    5,509 words On July 12, 2022, TV One News aired a feature on “the rise of online anti-Semitism.” It might be supposed the item was produced to accelerate the introduction of the “hate speech laws.” That this is the intention is indicated by the references to the “hate speech” laws and recommendations of the Royal […]

  • The Case for National Divorce: Gay Marriage and Interracial Marriage

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 19th 2022 8:52pm EDT

    Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. In light of the fact that a majority of Trump voters now believe that they would be better off if their state left the Union, I thought it would be interesting to look at how the vote this afternoon on “marriage equality” would have played out in […]

  • Ruy Teixeira Defects To AEI Over Wokeism

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 15th 2022 11:12am EDT

    Wow. The guy who wrote The Emerging Democratic Majority, which seeded the whole corrupted idea that changing racial demographics would “inevitably” lead to a “permanent progressive majority,” is leaving the Center for American Progress to join the American Enterprise Institute. Politico: “Ruy Teixeira is one of Washington’s most prominent left-leaning think-tank scholars, a fixture at […]
