  • Winston Churchill Monument Vandalized In Downtown Edmonton

    Occidental Dissent - Jun 18th 2021 5:58pm EDT

    We’ve heard a lot about the rise of “illiberalism” and “authoritarianism” from our friends on the Left. I’m curious though … who has been vandalizing the Winston Churchill monuments? Global News: “The statue of Sir Winston Churchill in downtown Edmonton has been vandalized with red paint. The paint covering the statue in Churchill Square was […]

  • Bad Faith: How “Trust Us” Liberals Failed Us

    Occidental Dissent - Jun 17th 2021 9:43pm EDT

    I’m going to spend the next hour or so watching this. I will share my thoughts on the interview later tonight.

  • Confessions of a Reluctant Conservative

    Amerika.org - Jun 4th 2021 8:02am EDT

    Very few of us started out wanting to be conservatives. I mean, the name even sounds boring, and most of the “conservatives” out there seem to be equal parts stupid, cowardly, and willing to enforce upon us this failing system. When I grew up, conservatives were the guys who tossed you a Bible and a […]

  • The Guardian: Publishing’s Cancel Culture Debate Boils Over

    Occidental Dissent - Jun 3rd 2021 8:56pm EDT

    A spectre is haunting the publishing industry. It is the spectre of woke progressivism and incipient totalitarianism. The Guardian: “In the 1960s, Simon & Schuster’s co-founder Max Schuster was facing a dilemma. Albert Speer, Hitler’s chief architect and armaments minister, had written a memoir providing new insights into the workings of Nazi leadership. As Michael […]

  • What’s The Matter With Liberalism?

    Occidental Dissent - May 30th 2021 1:03pm EDT

    Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. The libs are people like Thomas Frank, Bill Maher and James Carville. Woke progressivism is something new and much worse. It has none of the redeeming virtues of liberalism like tolerance or respect for civil liberties and free speech or skepticism or rational debate. These people have […]

  • Rising: Joe Scarborough Calls Glenn Greenwald ‘Russian Agent’ In Fiery Exchange

    Occidental Dissent - May 14th 2021 6:47pm EDT

    It is amazing that the Trump era changed left/right views and alliances on virtually every major issue: not all but most. Yet, nothing has changed when it comes to Israel/Palestine/US. The debate is exactly the same as it was in 1994 and 2005 and 2014: same sides, same arguments. — Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) May 14, […]

  • Live by the Woke, Die by the Woke: The Cancelation of Socialism Done Left

    Counter Currents - May 14th 2021 11:31am EDT

    3,013 words By the time I heard about the cancelation of the BreadTuber known as Socialism Done Left, the controversy was already a few days old. I had never heard of the guy, but when I stumbled upon the Vice article “Leaked Racist Messages Shows “Leftist” Youtuber Isn’t” written by affirmative action hire Gita Jackson, […]

  • Reason: Nationalist Conservatives Are Abandoning the Ideas of Liberty

    Occidental Dissent - May 14th 2021 9:38am EDT

    Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. This website has always at the forefront of this debate. Over the past two years though, I have developed a more nuanced position on the liberty question as I have refined my analysis. Instead of a blanket condemnation of liberalism, I now see modernism as the greater […]

  • Liberals’ New Favorite President

    Counter Currents - May 7th 2021 6:30am EDT

    3,334 words Ron ChernowGrantNew York: Penguin Press, 2017 Ulysses S. Grant is one of the archetypal Americans. A brilliant general who would only accept unconditional surrender. A modest president who eschewed pomp in favor of simple, democratic attire. A downcast alcoholic who rose from obscurity to greatness. He both made a fortune and lost a […]

  • Remembering Sam Francis: Francis & the Fire Bird

    Counter Currents - Apr 28th 2021 6:15am EDT

    Schedel’s Phoenix from the Nuremberg Chronicle, 1493 2,484 words If I had to recommend one book on politics, it would be James Burnham’s The Machiavellians. If I had to recommend one pamphlet, it would be an overlooked gem of American political discourse, Sam Francis’s The Other Side of Modernism: James Burnham and His Legacy. There is no white identitarian, […]

  • Remembering Sam Francis: The Rising Tide of Anarcho-Tyranny

    Counter Currents - Apr 28th 2021 6:00am EDT

    1,977 words Author’s note: An earlier version of this appeared at Return of Kings as “How Our Government Is Sanctioning A New Kind Of Tyranny.” The following expanded version is in my compilation Deplorable Diatribes.  My first encounter with anarcho-tyranny was when my grandfather got busted in a sting. His “crime” was cutting hair without a license, which got […]

  • Humorous Masquerades: The Rise of Anglo-Franco Melodrama

    Jules Chéret, 1880 Parisian advertisement for a recurring Saturday masque performance 8,691 words This past winter I lost my last grandparent — the most stubborn one, still to the end a strict English schoolteacher after having long since retired from the profession in the 1970s. She suffered through the desegregation years while working at Marshall […]

  • Peak Redpill

    Counter Currents - Apr 20th 2021 6:30am EDT

    2,200 words There’s a kind of conservative article which is by now very predictable. Leftists are doing something outrageous. Where before they did it in the shadows, they are now doing it with impunity, which is causing dissatisfaction not only among conservatives, but also among normal, law-abiding, hard-working, and otherwise platitudinal people. This dissatisfaction will […]

  • Can the Libertarian Party Become a Popular Vanguard?

    Counter Currents - Apr 14th 2021 6:45am EDT

    3,437 words Could it be time for an alternative to the two-party system? For anyone who hasn’t yet got the memo, it’s time to stop holding out hope for the Republican Party. As conservatives, they couldn’t even conserve the women’s bathroom. Worse, they’ve failed to do anything about population replacement migration; even though they should know very […]

  • Chris Hedges: Who Cancel Culture Really Serves

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 10th 2021 2:09pm EDT

    Chris Hedges deserves credit for speaking out. Everyone hates these little tyrants. It is not just people on the Right or Center. It is also people on the Left who are worried about getting in trouble for saying the wrong thing. Note: BTW, it is in everyone’s interest that the GOP “wins” this battle in […]

  • Mihai Eminescu: Romania’s Morning Star

    Counter Currents - Apr 6th 2021 6:15am EDT

    4,994 words Of peasant ancestry on his father’s side and boasting aristocratic (boyar) maternal roots, the Romanian poet, prose writer, and editorialist Mihai Eminescu (1850-1889) had not put his modest inherited wealth to waste. Educated in the German language since childhood, Eminescu was culturally — if not always geopolitically — an enthusiastic Germanophile. As a […]

  • Et tu, AOC?

    Counter Currents - Mar 30th 2021 6:45am EDT

    3,785 words There’s that old saying that politics is showbiz for ugly people. If that’s true, I think it is fair to say that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has “gone Hollywood.” I’ve mused on the concept of “going Hollywood” in a previous article. Many people move to Los Angeles to make it big. Every day, starry-eyed kids from […]

  • 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 […]

  • Neoliberal Joe: America First Is Over

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 19th 2021 5:29pm EST

    Neoliberal Joe is an imperialist. The American Empire is back. Those troop withdrawals from Syria, Afghanistan and Germany ain’t happening. We’re committed to staying engaged there forever. New York Times: “For anyone looking for evidence that boasts about “America First” — and the need for America to go-it-alone — are over, President Biden’s speech to […]

  • Ezra Klein: California Is Making Liberals Squirm

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 12th 2021 12:14pm EST

    I’ve never been to California. I have no plans of going anytime soon. I imagine it being like a Third World country ruled by awful people without any of the upsides of living in Alabama or Mississippi. New York Times: “You may have heard that San Francisco’s Board of Education voted 6 to 1 to […]

  • The Washington Post: Middle Class Liberal Scolds Attack Wall Street Bets

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 2nd 2021 11:40am EST

    I rest my case. We can’t go after the hedge fund billionaires because someone used the insensitive word “retard.” Such is the current state of middle class, therapeutic, corporate leftwing politics!

  • Axios: Trust In Media Plummets To All Time Low

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 21st 2021 5:24pm EST

    This is the inevitable result of the DILE problem in journalism where everyone comes from the same social class and constantly signals their contempt for the ordinary White American. Axios: “By the numbers: For the first time ever, fewer than half of all Americans have trust in traditional media, according to data from Edelman’s annual trust barometer shared […]
