  • Abbeville Institute: The Confederate Origins of Memorial Day

    Occidental Dissent - May 31st 2021 10:57am EDT

    Memorial Day was originally Decoration Day and got its start right up the road from where I am from in the Chattahoochee Valley after the War Between the States: Abbeville Institute: “Many Americans will pause today to honor the men and women who have given their lives in the United States armed forces. What most […]

  • The Week: The Spiritual Challenge of Multiculturalism

    Occidental Dissent - May 27th 2021 11:52pm EDT

    Damon Linker has an interesting take on American history. The Week: “There are many ways to understand the tendency roiling liberal-democratic politics in recent years, from the outcome of the Brexit vote and the presidency of Donald Trump to the surge in support for antiliberal politicians and parties across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. It’s […]

  • Life Coach Larry: Change Is Good!

    Occidental Dissent - May 23rd 2021 3:24pm EDT

    Larry is a fashionista at heart. He has built his entire sense of identity, values and belief system on novelty seeking and feeling stimulated by adopting the latest fashionable trends.

  • Poll: Deracination

    Occidental Dissent - May 17th 2021 12:50pm EDT

    As I said yesterday, the biggest problem facing White people in America is other White people who have a negative sense of racial identity, not racial minorities who are much more like us in that respect. Pew Research Center: Note: I’m accustomed to blacks and Hispanics who are so common around here that they don’t […]

  • White First, American Second

    Counter Currents - May 14th 2021 6:30am EDT

    1,613 words I have a friend who’s a big sports fan, especially college football. He’s crazy for the local State university (which we will call “State”) and hates the slightly more prestigious state University (which we will call “the U”). It’s really not hate, of course. It’s more of an identity/anti-identity thing. Despite not having attended either […]

  • Are We Really Anglo-Saxons?

    Counter Currents - May 12th 2021 6:15am EDT

    1,411 words George W. Bush is back in the news to promote his horrible picture book, Out of Many, One. The picture book, as its title evokes, urges readers to see America as a vast, multicultural landscape where everyone can belong. Most of his public statements in support of the book have touted mass immigration and the […]

  • Do White People Exist?

    Counter Currents - Apr 29th 2021 6:45am EDT

    1,144 words Imagine if I screamed my lungs bloody all day and all night, for years on end, about the Devil and how he’s the greatest threat to humanity. And then, let’s say a well-tempered Satanist tried to counter my caterwauling by saying, “Relax, fella — the Devil’s not that bad.” If I replied, “The Devil doesn’t […]

  • Barbarians

    Counter Currents - Apr 23rd 2021 6:30am EDT

    1,019 words For a while now, I’ve found that I cannot bring myself to enjoy new films, new TV shows, and other new media, not only due to the active war on whiteness waged therein. I expected Netflix’s Barbarians to be no different, but people were talking it up and I was having trouble sleeping, so I […]

  • Two Nationalisms

    Counter Currents - Apr 16th 2021 6:30am EDT

    Dimitar Pandilov, Harvesters, 1936. 2,226 words Let’s talk about nationalism.  You’ve probably been told that there are two kinds of nationalism: ethnic and civic. This is true. You’ve probably been told that nationalism is a Left-wing phenomenon. This is partially true. If you’re an American, you’ve probably been told that America is a nation of […]

  • The White Genocide Debate

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 13th 2021 7:15am EDT

    Is it Okay to be White? Do we hate White people now? Do we still live in a free country? Are “journalists” fake news propagandists? Are legacy media outlets still capable of defining the mainstream? Are we allowed to talk about subjects which are politically incorrect? Do White people have legitimate interests like other groups? […]

  • Poll: Confederate Monuments Should Remain Standing In North Carolina

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 9th 2021 8:10am EDT

    We love our polls on this website. Here is another new poll out on Confederate monuments in North Carolina from Elon University which I believe is where Comrade Megan Squire is based. Greensboro.com: “ELON — Nearly 60% of North Carolina residents say they prefer that Confederate monuments remain right where they are, according to a […]

  • The Worst Week Yet: March 28-April 3, 2021

    Counter Currents - Apr 5th 2021 6:45am EDT

    G. Gordon Liddy, photographed by Paul Hosefros in 1992. 1,918 words White Supremacists Wearing Realistic-Looking “Black Men” Masks Continue Attacking Asians Tariq Nasheed is a prophet and a pusher, partly truth, partly fiction — a walking contradiction. He’s also the dumbest person on Twitter. Back in 2017, this mentally handicapped black supremacist who was probably advised […]

  • Racial Whiteness

    Counter Currents - Mar 23rd 2021 6:45am EDT

    John Singleton Copley, Watson and the Shark, ca. 1778. 1,858 words Lipton Matthews over at Taki’s Magazine is giving White Nationalists some advice, and I think we’d better sit up and listen. In his essay “Cultural Whiteness,” he tells us we should stop being White Nationalists and instead view whiteness as a “philosophy of progress.” In other […]

  • Christianity and Youth Rebellion In The 1920s

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 27th 2020 12:11pm EDT

    Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. We’re continuing to explore the Victorian-to-Modern transition in America which as we have seen began in the 1910s and accelerated in the 1920s. In previous articles, I have explained at length how at the end of Victorian era there was a consensus in America on national identity, […]

  • American Crucible

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 24th 2020 1:51pm EDT

    This is going to be an interesting book. It is a history of the clash between racial nationalism and civic nationalism in 20th century America. I’ve really enjoyed tuning out of current events and politics to focus on history and culture. I don’t think that I missed out on anything by not paying as much […]

  • Explaining America’s Cultural Degeneration

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 23rd 2020 12:26pm EDT

    America was an idea. We’ve never lived up to it but we’ve never walked away from it before.https://t.co/VRCnKI0rfQ pic.twitter.com/xLuhhGyJVp— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) October 22, 2020 Q: How did America become cosmopolitan? A: By cosmopolitanism, I mean the process by which America lost its White Anglo-Saxon Protestant identity and developed a hyper alienated, modernist liberal ruling […]

  • The New Era

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 8th 2020 4:04pm EDT

    As I have argued, Modern America emerged in the 1920s. The Victorian consensus on identity, culture and morality began its long term decline in this period when the Losters rebelled against their parents after World War I. The rifts that began to open up in the 1920s were temporarily overshadowed by the mirage of unity […]

  • America Is Having a Moral Convulsion

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 6th 2020 3:33pm EDT

    David Brooks has a long new think piece at The Atlantic in which he tries to explain the social breakdown that we are witnessing: The Atlantic: “American history is driven by periodic moments of moral convulsion. The late Harvard political scientist Samuel P. Huntington noticed that these convulsions seem to hit the United States every […]

  • Victorian America

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 2nd 2020 2:23pm EDT

    In order to better understand the values and beliefs of Modern America, the culture of 20th century America, lets take a look back at its predecessor, Victorian America. Towards a Definition of American Modernism: “To locate the inner dynamics of Modernism and to see how it came into being, it is necessary to return briefly […]

  • The Modernism Debate

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 24th 2020 1:24pm EDT

    .@TheCptBlackPill and I debate “Modernism.” https://t.co/7jwZnMXH4p— Richard ? Spencer (@RichardBSpencer) September 24, 2020 Where does modern liberalism come from? In my view, the hallmark of modern liberalism is cultural liberalism, which distinguishes the liberalism of Modern America from the liberalism of Victorian America. The former is primarily an aesthetic form of liberalism. The latter was […]

  • The Cosmopolitan Ideal

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 23rd 2020 1:02pm EDT

    In recent weeks, I have been writing about the 1910s and trying to give you a sense of what Victorian America looked like on the eve of the cultural revolution. It was a White, Anglo-Saxon (in culture), Protestant nation that also happened to be liberal and republican in principles. In our own times, we are […]

  • The Death of the Victorian Mainstream

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 3rd 2020 3:02pm EDT

    Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. This is such an interesting book. I’m so glad that I bought it. Keep sending me money and I will continue to finding these gems. This is what it was like to be present at the end of the Romantic age in America and the passing away […]

  • Highlights: Laura Towler Vs Rikki Doolan Debate on British Identity & Immigration

    Red Ice TV - Aug 8th 2020 4:01pm EDT

    Laura Towler did an excellent job breaking down the flag-waving (for the sake of flag-waving) “patriot” Rikki Doolan, who couldn’t even admit that White British (or if you prefer: Native British) people exists as a distinct group. This is a highlights reel. Here is the link to the full debate: https://youtu.be/qCYW6N1g4GY
