  • MSNBC: ‘It Could Happen Here’ Looks At Extremist Voices And How To Stop Them

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 4th 2022 1:34pm EST

    In my view, one of the most encouraging developments of 2021 was the decline of the ADL as a respected “watchdog organization” when Jonathan Greenblatt tried and failed to deplatform Tucker Carlson. It is difficult to exaggerate how much the organization has followed the SPLC into the dustbin and declined into just another partisan leftwing […]

  • MSNBC: Trump Endorses Rightwing Autocrat In Hungary

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 3rd 2022 8:34pm EST

    This is how “our democracy” could die in the darkness. The woke professional class might become too culturally toxic to remain competitive in national elections. This would enable the Right to continue to stack the judiciary, gerrymander and change election laws in favorable ways in battleground states. Zack Beauchamp of Vox lays out this dire […]

  • Breaking Points: NYC Plans To Deny COVID Care Based On Race

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 3rd 2022 7:38pm EST

    Seriously though, this is more objectively racist than anything I have ever said or done in my entire life.

  • Foreign Affairs: How Extremism Went Mainstream

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 3rd 2022 12:01pm EST

    As we approach the first anniversary of the “insurrection,” I believe we need to rethink what has happened over the past twenty years. When I started out in these circles in late 2001, the “mainstream,” the conservative movement and the so-called “far right” were all in very different places. George W. Bush was the president. […]

  • Liberal Larry: We’re Being Censored!

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 2nd 2022 7:19pm EST

    Liberal Larry is a victim of rightwing cancel culture and the trauma of “both sides-ism.” We’re on the cusp of literal fascism! SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE TO SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY!

  • Poll: America Has Become More Divided Under Joe Biden

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 2nd 2022 4:52pm EST

    I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide, but to unify. Who doesn’t see red and blue states, but a United States. And who will work with all my heart to win the confidence of the whole people. — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) November 23, 2020 We need a president who chooses unity […]

  • The Political Cesspool: 2022 Predictions

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 2nd 2022 9:54am EST

    CLICK HERE My main takeaway is that the 2022 midterms will be a pure expression of lib owning and backlash politics. A trucker knocked off one of the most powerful Democrats in New Jersey after spending only $153 on a state senate race. This happened in a deep blue state. Why shouldn’t some of our […]

  • SH!TPOST: New Year’s Call-In Show

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 1st 2022 10:18pm EST

    SH!TPOST: Skip ahead to 1:13:00. After appearing on The Political Cesspool, I saw this evening that Jared Holt of the Atlantic Council’s “Digital Forensic Research Lab” was doing a livestream call-in show on Twitch. Most of the callers were boring so I called in to ask some more penetrating questions.

  • New York Times: Every Day Is Jan. 6 Now

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 1st 2022 2:10pm EST

    False. In a few days, it will be January 6, 2022. New York Times: “One year after from the smoke and broken glass, the mock gallows and the very real bloodshed of that awful day, it is tempting to look back and imagine that we can, in fact, simply look back. To imagine that what happened […]

  • SPLC: One Year After Jan. 6, the Hard Right Digs In

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 31st 2021 12:53pm EST

    I can’t believe I am saying this. This was a pretty article though from Michael Edison Hayden. SPLC: “One year after Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol in Washington D.C., the hard right, anti-democracy faction of the Republican base that led the attack threatens to overtake the party for the long term. This hard-right faction, […]

  • Tucker Carlson: Panic Mode

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 20th 2021 9:11pm EST

    Excellent monologue tonight. Independents are swinging as usual. Young voters are beyond blackpilled on Joe Biden. “Latinx” voters are abandoning Joe Biden over the economy. The blacks are going to feel betrayed when the voting rights bill dies. It is entirely conceivable that the Democrats could form a circular firing squad well before the midterms. […]

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 18th 2021 3:06pm EST

    2021 was a quiet year. In spite of 24/7/365 non-stop hysteria from Washington-based “journalists” about “the insurrection” and the threat posed by “domestic extremism,” nothing much really happened. Donald Trump left office and returned to golfing at Mar-a-Lago. The streets were calmer than in previous years. The QAnon insurrectionists didn’t lay siege to the Capitol […]

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 17th 2021 9:15am EST

    This shouldn’t come as a surprise. There is a reason why Republicans love to talk about Wokeism. 48% of Republicans think that “only people being too easily offended is a major problem” compared to 5% who think “only people saying very offensive things is a major problem If we take these positions as rough approximations […]

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 15th 2021 12:57pm EST

    Michael Lind doesn’t come out and say it, but clearly what he is getting at here with this analogy is that the reign of Robespierre and the Jacobins and the Reign of Terror was short lived.
