• New Rising: Matt Taibbi Defends Glenn Greenwald Against Critics

    Occidental Dissent - Jun 10th 2021 12:16pm EDT

    Good conversation. Liberalism has been cancelled. Woke progressivism is the new ideology of the Democratic Party. White males are out. Women of Color are in. Equal justice is out. Social justice is in. Freeze peach is out. Censorship is in. Tolerance is out. Repression is in. Non-violence is out. Violence is in. Objective facts are […]

  • New Rising: The Life Threatening Consequences Of Elite Jargon

    Occidental Dissent - Jun 9th 2021 3:57pm EDT

    “The corruption of the PMC” pretty much describes every story that we talk about these days. It is not merely the nutty professors writing diatribes about American history or the usual outbursts from Hollywood celebrities anymore. In recent years, the torch of social justice ideology that was lit in elite academia has spread to the […]

  • Barack Obama: “Dark Spirits” Have Taken Over Republican Party

    Occidental Dissent - Jun 8th 2021 7:58pm EDT

    If you notice what PMCs are doing to this country and how they have rigged the system to push the social values and economic interests of their social class at your expense, you are a “dark spirit.” This is especially true of those who notice what these people think of the White working class. Powered […]

  • Liberal Larry: Cancel Father’s Day

    Occidental Dissent - Jun 8th 2021 4:16pm EDT

    I always enjoy Larry’s perspective. We have recently celebrated Black History Month, Earth Day and Birthing Persons Day. We grilled vegan sausages and Brood X cicadas on Memorial Day. We’re celebrating PRIDE Month. Juneteenth is coming up on June 19th. Why do we have to ruin it by celebrating Father’s Day? Who needs fathers anyway? […]

  • Breaking Points: ACLU Abandons Free Speech In Favor of Trump Derangement

    Occidental Dissent - Jun 8th 2021 3:05pm EDT

    This isn’t really news. Liberalism has been cancelled and replaced by woke progressivism. Those of us who attended the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville witnessed its violent death in 2017. In our view, we were doing something routine in Charlottesville which we had done in many other places around the country like New Orleans, […]

  • The Atlantic: How America Fractured Into Four Parts

    Occidental Dissent - Jun 8th 2021 11:03am EDT

    George Packer has a thought provoking new article in The Atlantic which is adapted from his new book, Last Best Hope: America in Crisis and Renewal. It is worth the time to read because Packer’s analysis nicely dovetails with topics and themes which we discuss all the time on this website. The Atlantic: “Nations, like […]

  • Newsweek: Biden Admin Replaces ‘Mothers’ With ‘Birthing People’ in Maternal Health Guidance

    Occidental Dissent - Jun 7th 2021 6:36pm EDT

    I would say this definitely qualifies as another example of what James Carville lamented as the culturally tone deaf faculty lounge jargon that defines woke progressivism. Newsweek: “The White House’s 2022 fiscal year budget replaced the word mothers with birthing people in a section about public health funding, prompting ridicule Monday from President Joe Biden‘s conservative critics. The Biden […]

  • Salon: Godless Grifters: How the New Atheists Merged With The Far Right

    Occidental Dissent - Jun 5th 2021 12:39pm EDT

    Welcome aboard. It seems like every day now more and more people are being subtracted from the Left due to insufficient wokeness: traditional liberals, New Atheist centrists, social democrats. Salon: “James Lindsay: Once a promising young atheist, Lindsay published “Everybody Is Wrong About God” in 2015 and, three years later, “How to Have Impossible Conversations,” co-authored […]

  • The Atlantic: ‘Nobody Wants White Kids to Feel Bad About Their Race’

    Occidental Dissent - Jun 5th 2021 11:35am EDT

    If you are a White parent, do you think your child should be indoctrinated in racial guilt from the earliest possible age in the public education system over things which happened hundreds of years ago and issues which have long since been resolved? This is what some progressive activists believe. As a result, this is […]

  • Yale School of Medicine: ‘The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind’

    Occidental Dissent - Jun 4th 2021 10:49pm EDT

    Occidental Dissent has been labeled a “hate group” by the SPLC. We have been blacklisted by Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, PayPal, Stripe, Google Pay and so many other social media platforms and payment processors that I have lost track of all the services we have been banned from. Check out the content at the Yale School […]

  • Matt Taibbi: Congratulations, Elitists: Liberals and Conservatives Do Have Common Interests Now

    Occidental Dissent - Jun 4th 2021 10:06am EDT

    The go-to response to any criticism of mainstream politics for years has been to accuse people of being in league with the right-wing – well, congratulations, you’ve made those alliances real. https://t.co/euFoVj19NJ — Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) June 3, 2021 The Catch-22 of modern press: reporters are told they can’t make an impact if their only […]

  • 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 […]

  • ABC News: California Task Force Launches Study of Slave Reparations

    Occidental Dissent - Jun 3rd 2021 5:45pm EDT

    There you go again. You are stirring up another deeply divisive culture war issue. ABC News: “SAN FRANCISCO — A first-in-the-nation task force in California to study and recommend reparations for African Americans held its inaugural meeting Tuesday, launching a two-year process to address the harms of slavery and systemic racism despite the federal government’s […]

  • Wired: More Content Moderation Is Not Always Better

    Occidental Dissent - Jun 3rd 2021 1:10pm EDT

    This is a stupid article. Progressive activists who are 8% of the population and who are the most leftwing people in America already have all the answers. They have everything figured out like COVID. They just need the power to establish a woke dictatorship and to control what everyone else who lives here can say […]

  • Axios: 2022’s War Over Racism

    Occidental Dissent - Jun 2nd 2021 6:47pm EDT

    I’m not a Republican. I’ve always been a White Independent swing voter. Axios: “With or without Donald J. Trump atop the party, the Republican strategy for the 2022 elections and beyond virtually assures race — and racism — will be central to political debate for years to come.  … There’s a massive gulf between how Republicans […]

  • Jacobin: Woke Merchants of Death

    Occidental Dissent - Jun 2nd 2021 1:16pm EDT

    What is the Left? It is getting harder and harder to ignore the disconnect between the people who associate “Left” with social democracy (people like Jimmy Dore or Ben Burgis) or with liberalism (people like Thomas Frank) and woke progressivism (people like Sadie Farrell). These conflicting visions of what “Left” means are naturally in extreme […]

  • MSNBC: Sen. Cruz Shares Far-Right Russian Propaganda Video To Attack Military

    Occidental Dissent - May 28th 2021 9:45am EDT

    Even if this were true and it was the Russians who successfully ridiculed Emma’s Calling, wouldn’t the implication be that woke progressivism is a national security threat? It would mean that Russia sees the proliferation of wokeness in the U.S. military as a vulnerability, right?

  • White Allyship: Was It Just a Fad?

    Occidental Dissent - May 25th 2021 12:36pm EDT

    The voting patterns of millennials from 2008 to 2020 is so wild. I’m going to explore for my newsletter this week, but here’s a sample in some states of the millennial vote in 2008/2020: AL: D+3/R+17CA: D+53/D+29FL: D+24/R+2KY: D+3/R+12ME: D+37/D+6NC: D+48/D+13 — Ryan James Girdusky (@RyanGirdusky) May 24, 2021 The optimists are saying that there […]

  • Tucker Carlson: Anti-White Training Almost Mandatory On State’s Schools

    Occidental Dissent - May 22nd 2021 12:46pm EDT

    Tucker Carlson discussed the problem last night on his show. By the problem, I mean the issue which we have discussed here at length on this website for the last several months: the affluent, White upper middle class, college educated professionals who tend to live in urban areas or wealthy suburbs who have always been […]

  • Ezra Klein: Violent Crime Is Spiking. Do Liberals Have An Answer?

    Occidental Dissent - May 21st 2021 2:04pm EDT

    LISTEN HERE. Judging by where violent crime is soaring, I think it is safe to say the answer is “no.” “Early estimates find that in 2020, homicides in the United States increased somewhere between 25 percent and nearly 40 percent, the largest spike since 1960, when formal crime statistics began to be collected. And early estimates indicate that the increase […]

  • Secular Talk: 40 Progressive Activist Groups Try To Kick FOX News Off Air

    Occidental Dissent - May 20th 2021 4:25pm EDT

    Progressive activists are busybodies. They are people who live in terror of not being able to control and silence other people who have different opinions and values. These people hate the fact that other people are allowed to talk on the internet and make their case without their permission. The great hushing has already been […]

  • James Carville Continues To Warn Democrats About Wokeness

    Occidental Dissent - May 19th 2021 9:59am EDT

    Since James Carville started speaking out about this last month, it is worth noting that the demise of the Labour Party in Britain has only further convinced the GOP to stick with this line of attack. There were also those races in suburban Dallas where Joe Biden won but the backlash against critical race theory […]
