  • TAC: This Has Just Been The Beginning

    Occidental Dissent - May 3rd 2021 11:48am EDT

    The so-called “far right” has its own version of wokeness. We have long talked in terms of people being “redpilled” and contrasted them with “normies” who are asleep. In the “far right” version, the colorblind conservative and libertarian normies are hopelessly deracinated, degenerate and atomized individualists who are asleep in a world that is lorded […]

  • National Review: The Inequality of “Equity”

    Occidental Dissent - May 3rd 2021 9:13am EDT

    Christopher Caldwell has an excellent new article up on the rise of “equity” at National Review. National Review: “In mid April, three of the new generation of black women mayors of big cities met (virtually) at a roundtable sponsored by MIT’s Sloan School of Management. Lori Lightfoot of Chicago, London Breed of San Francisco, Kim […]

  • The Deep State Is Hiring

    Occidental Dissent - May 2nd 2021 7:51pm EDT

    Don’t know how anyone can sleep at night with this terrifying threat roaming the streets https://t.co/IzAVU0vVdV — Michael Tracey (@mtracey) May 2, 2021 Actual quotes from this new CIA recruitment ad: “I am a woman of color” “I am a cisgender millennial” “I have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder” “I am intersectional” I think […]

  • City Journal: What’s “Normal” In America

    Occidental Dissent - May 1st 2021 2:59pm EDT

    City Journal: “A few days ago, 216 employees of Simon and Schuster, along with several thousand people from outside the trade publishing house, sent a petition to top executives of the company demanding that they stop publishing anyone who had anything to do with the Trump administration. Their rationale for making such a demand was […]

  • Department of Social Justice Had a Backup Plan To Arrest Derek Chauvin

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 30th 2021 3:13pm EDT

    How do you like the social justice system? The only thing that matters now is what woke progressive elites and their lynch mobs think. Even if a jury of your peers decides you are innocent, you are guilty and should be arrested on the spot anyway. There is a sacred narrative at stake here. The […]

  • Rising: New York Times Declares War On Twitch Streamers

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 30th 2021 12:46pm EDT

    Here you go. It is the same “intersectional” problem. In this case, it is busybody “journalists” who work for the corporate media acting like commissars and demanding censorship to force their woke ideology down the throats of other people. New York Times:

  • Jacobin: Cancel Culture Undermines The Left

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 29th 2021 4:02pm EDT

    Obviously, I agree. Political correctness or wokeness or cancel culture is unquestionably one of the biggest pathologies of the Left. It is also rooted in Freudianism, critical theory and postmodernism which has been established in previous episodes as among the worst ideas of the 20th century Left. I’m afraid that it has reached a critical […]

  • Ted Cruz: Your Woke Money Is No Good Here

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 29th 2021 1:00pm EDT

    Ted Cruz’s latest op-ed is an excellent example of this transition. The politicians are being reprogrammed because the political reality underneath them has shifted due to the resorting of the electorate. Wall Street Journal: “Georgia’s new election law runs 98 generously spaced pages. A fast reader can get through it in one sitting. If you’re […]

  • Rep. Jayapal: Terms Such As ‘Latinx’ Are Important To Communities Of Color

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 28th 2021 5:27pm EDT

    It is absolutely vital that progressive activists continue to use the gender neutral term “Latinx” in their messaging to Hispanic voters: Note: It has become a running joke here.

  • Thomas Edsall: Should Biden Emphasize Race or Class or Both or None of the Above?

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 28th 2021 12:35pm EDT

    I strongly agree with James Carville. As a White Independent voter, I obviously think the woke messaging is extremely repulsive. The wokeness + class framing is still repulsive. The class framing is their best pitch. New York Times: “Should the Democratic Party focus on race or class when trying to build support for new initiatives […]

  • James Carville: ““Wokeness Is a Problem and We All Know It”

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 27th 2021 1:06pm EDT

    Woke progressivism is an opportunity for us. The Democrats have embraced Ibram X. Kendi and his doctrines and have gone full mask off with anti-whiteness and in doing so have severely undermined consensus antiracism. Vox: “I called James Carville hoping to get his thoughts on President Joe Biden’s first 100 days in office. He obliged […]

  • White People Must Follow Special Rules When Visiting George Floyd Square

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 27th 2021 9:40am EDT

    Wokeism is a religious cult. I suppose this makes us the infidels. Don’t forget to recite the Lord’s Prayer before entering George Floyd Square. It is a sacred space in Wokeism:

  • Axios: Books Become Free Speech Battleground

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 27th 2021 8:34am EDT

    I’ve changed my mind about what to call this. A few years ago, I was calling it “progressive liberalism,” but that term now strikes me as a bit dated. Woke progressivism is illiberal. These people have embraced violence, censorship, ritual shaming, state repression and economic blacklisting as tactics. They call you a “fascist” and an […]

  • Police Officers Are Resigning En Masse In Woke Progressive Cities

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 26th 2021 5:42pm EDT

    Oh well … I’m glad that I don’t live in one of these places. Why the hell would anyone be stupid enough to be a police officer in one of these cities? Who wants to be vilified by the corporate media as the next Derek Chauvin? As the police resign en masse and quit doing […]

  • Merrick Garland: Department of Social Justice Is Launching Probe of Louisville Police Department

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 26th 2021 2:34pm EDT

    NEW: AG Garland announces civil investigation to determine whether Louisville PD “engages in a pattern or practice of violations of the Constitution or federal law,” including “whether the department unlawfully executes search warrants on private homes.” https://t.co/ulHptFDUq2 pic.twitter.com/9Imi7W99Fp — ABC News (@ABC) April 26, 2021 We get it.

  • Poll: Americans Overwhelmingly Dislike The Woke Oscars

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 26th 2021 1:04pm EDT

    I don’t watch this garbage. I can’t even bring myself to do it out of a sense of duty to report back to my own audience like I regularly do by watching PMC TV. Piers Morgan watched the 2021 Oscars to write a review. Daily Mail: “The howl was loud, prolonged, anguished and animated. Actress […]

  • George Floyd’s Death Spurred a Historic Wave of Attacks on Confederate Monuments

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 25th 2021 2:19pm EDT

    It seemed to me like any monument would do at the time. The mobs of brats also toppled monuments of Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Christopher Columbus, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, St. Junípero Serra, pioneers and abolitionists. They made it clear that their goal is to cleanse the public space of all of American history […]

  • Wokal Distance Explains “I’m So Exhausted”

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 24th 2021 2:47pm EDT

    Wokal Distance has an excellent thread that explains why these little brat “journalists” are always using this phrase on Twitter. 1/The phrase “I’M SO EXHAUSTED” in upper class intellectual professions comes from Social Justice activism and belongs to the same constellation of concepts as: -emotional labor-do the work-triggered-trauma-self-care-white fragility So, “I’m so exhausted”: A Thread?

  • INSURRECTION! Black Lives Matter Storms Oklahoma State Capitol

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 23rd 2021 2:26pm EDT

    This is the scene in the OK House chamber. #okleg pic.twitter.com/7bQYGbjqxq — Tyler Talley (@tylertalley22) April 21, 2021 I’m experiencing déjà vu. Black Lives Matter stormed the Iowa State Capitol two weeks ago. The insurrection in Iowa was greeted with total silence by the corporate media. PMC TV isn’t covering this one either. FOX News: […]

  • Ibram X. Kendi Is The New Jim Jones

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 23rd 2021 12:13pm EDT

    Discuss. Does Ibram X. Kendi remind you of a more successful Jim Jones? Joe Biden and the entire political establishment has come under the spell of this crackpot. They’ve all adopted his lingo and doctrines. Note: Rasputin and the Russian imperial court also comes to mind.

  • David Brooks: The GOP Is Getting Worse

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 23rd 2021 10:32am EDT

    The “far right” always wanted the normie to wake up. There are countless radicals who became frustrated and who gave up when the normie didn’t wake up on their schedule. This includes an entire branch of the White Nationalist movement which ideologically convinced itself that White people were hopelessly apathetic and would never wake up. […]

  • Tucker Carlson: “Let The Kids Knife Fight”

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 23rd 2021 12:07am EDT

    Editor’s Note: I’m going to be on the road for the next few days which means there will probably be fewer posts through Monday. It is difficult to keep up with the corporate media. “Journalists” are constantly shifting the spotlight from one police shooting to the next to feed the narrative with fresh new bodies. […]

  • Jimmy Dore: Dr. Fauci Confronted Over His Multiple Lies

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 22nd 2021 7:04pm EDT

    It is funny watching Fauci starting to take heat from the Left. Shouldn’t people be allowed to move on with their lives after getting vaccinated? What else can you really do? The COVID-19 pandemic played out almost entirely at the state level. It was state and local officials who were in charge of everything. Virtually […]

  • USA Today: “The Normalization of Hate”

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 22nd 2021 5:23pm EDT

    This article pretty much sums up the broad outlines of new impending crisis between populist nationalism and woke progressivism and why the two are on a collision course. We’ve reached the point where celebrating “uniquely Anglo-Saxon traditions” and “European architecture” is considered “hate” and “racism.” Clearly, the celebration of ANYTHING about America that is White […]

  • Center for American Progress: A Blueprint for Ending “White Supremacist Violence”

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 21st 2021 7:25pm EDT

    I would also like to end “white supremacist violence.” Center for American Progress: “White supremacist violence is not new, but in recent years, it has become a primary national security threat in the United States. Notions of racial superiority, hostility toward immigrants and minorities, and the myth of an embattled white majority defending its power […]
