  • Jimmy Dore: Former New York Times Journalist Approves Of Killing Children

    Occidental Dissent - May 19th 2021 5:30pm EDT

    Exactly. This is what you call Jewish lies and hypocrisy. Assad was a monster who was killing his own people. That’s why we had to occupy his country, fund a devastating civil war, impose crippling sanctions on Syria and sent a carrier strike group into the eastern Mediterranean to shoot Tomahawk missles at him. We […]

  • Mehdi Hasan: Progressives Except Palestine Are Hypocrites

    Occidental Dissent - May 19th 2021 2:48am EDT

    “Critics on the left even have a term for it: ‘PEP.’ Progressive except Palestine. Progressive when it comes to standing up for marginalized minorities at home, or persecuted groups abroad..but not in Israel and the Occupied Territories.” Me on Dems/Gaza:pic.twitter.com/AUslP7PT1F — Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) May 19, 2021 I will give credit where it is due.

  • Is Portland Over?

    Occidental Dissent - May 19th 2021 12:02am EDT

    We stopped engaging with these anarchists years ago. Look at what they have done to Portland which is the flagship of woke progressivism where policing has been “reimagined.” They have destroyed their own city and have transformed it into a violent, chaotic, blighted dump that is overrun by criminals, drug addicts and homeless people. Note: […]

  • Joe Rogan: Wokeness Is Out Of Control

    Occidental Dissent - May 17th 2021 6:01pm EDT

    Joe Rogan on “woke culture” pic.twitter.com/2LLaEWFRLX — Viral Sports (@NotScTop10plays) May 16, 2021 It is already way beyond that point. If you are a cishet White male and you have populist or nationalist views or even conservative or libertarian views now, you are now being labeled a “domestic extremist” by the government. They don’t want […]

  • 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 […]

  • WND: Woman Shocked By Woke Books In Baby Section At Barnes and Noble

    Occidental Dissent - May 16th 2021 3:55pm EDT

    I recently had an old friend and longtime commentator here contact me about this very issue. World Net Daily: “BOCA RATON, Florida – A South Florida woman was so shocked recently by “woke” and “cancel culture” books being sold in the baby section of Barnes & Noble, she recorded the titles and posted them on […]

  • Brian Stelter: This FOX News Data Proves Liz Cheney Right

  • Poll: Portlanders Are Scared To Visit “Trashed” Downtown

    Occidental Dissent - May 15th 2021 2:37pm EDT

    In Portland, they have succeeded in “reimagining” policing, which is why their downtown has been trashed and overrun with anarchists, homeless people, drug addicts and criminals. The Oregonian: “Residents across the metro area say downtown Portland has become dirty, unsafe and uninviting and many anticipate visiting the city’s core less often after the pandemic than […]

  • MSNBC: Former FBI Director On Domestic Extremists And Connection To Trump

    Occidental Dissent - May 15th 2021 1:15am EDT

    What is going with the libs? They love George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Liz Cheney now. They love John McCain and Mitt Romney now. They love the Republican establishment and Wall Street and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce now. Nicolle Wallace has her own MSNBC show. The libs love the FBI now. They love […]

  • Joe Biden Cancels Trump’s Garden of American Heroes

    Occidental Dissent - May 14th 2021 10:43pm EDT

    Donald Trump’s “Garden of American Heroes” was always a hokey face saving token gesture to nationalist and populist voters who were enraged by the destruction of hundreds of our historic monuments by Antifa and BLM mobs. It would have cost Joe Biden nothing politically to let it stand. Everything that Donald Trump did as president […]

  • Merrick Garland and Alejandro Mayorkas Testify Before Congress On The “Domestic Extremism” Threat

    Occidental Dissent - May 12th 2021 7:04pm EDT

    I’ve already seen enough from this duo. Alejandro Mayorkas has presided over the collapse of the border. Merrick Garland is presiding over the collapse of the police and an explosion in violent crime. It is clear that their goal is to undermine immigration enforcement, undermine local police departments and to purge anyone who they label […]

  • New York Times: Efforts to Weed Out “Extremists In Law Enforcement” Meet Resistance

    Occidental Dissent - May 11th 2021 6:27pm EDT

    Woke progressives are full of demands these days. In order to fight climate change, they need the power to tackle our meat obsession. In order to fight gun violence, they need a national red flag law. New York Times: “In the battle to stamp out extremism from the ranks of the police, lawmakers from California […]

  • Radix: Polarization In The UK

    Occidental Dissent - May 9th 2021 8:16pm EDT

    I share Ed’s enthusiasm for the collapse of the Labour Party.

  • Zaid Jilani: Anti-Racist Messaging Is Failing With Voters. So Why Can’t Liberals Quit It?

    Occidental Dissent - May 9th 2021 4:12pm EDT

    I’ve been following this debate with great interest. We’ve even taken the lead in adapting class-based messaging and framing to “far right” politics. It is a neat fit because PMCs and their downwardly mobile children who become Antifa and who have cosmopolitan, modernist and antiracist values are our opposition anyway. Newsweek: “If you’ve spent any […]

  • New York Post: Biden’s New Left of Racial Radicals

    Occidental Dissent - May 9th 2021 2:51pm EDT

    I’ve never cared for Sen. Tim Scott. He strikes me as a creature of conservative think tanks. You can imagine Tim Scott being created in a lab at the American Enterprise Institute as a black version of Paul Ryan. I was struck though by something he said in an op-ed that he wrote about the […]

  • Axios: Social Media’s “In-Kind Contribution To Biden”

    Occidental Dissent - May 6th 2021 12:44pm EDT

    I like it when the issue is stated so succinctly. Big Tech is using its monopoly power to censor the internet on behalf of progressive activists. They have a right to have their views “amplified” while other people in this country do not. Axios: “Facebook’s continued suspension of Donald Trump’s account extends the silencing of Joe Biden’s […]

  • Wokelash: Anti-Woke Candidates Win Landslide In Texas Suburban School Board Election

    Occidental Dissent - May 3rd 2021 2:13pm EDT

    Opponents of anti-racism education win big in a bitterly divided election in Southlake, Texas. Conservative candidates who opposed a school diversity plan won every local race, taking about 70% of the vote in the wealthy Dallas-Fort Worth suburb. https://t.co/m7rtlYh3X0 — NBC News (@NBCNews) May 3, 2021 BTW, I predicted this.

  • 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 […]

  • Rudy Giuliani Ensnared In Revived Russia Hoax

    Occidental Dissent - May 1st 2021 10:22am EDT

    I suspected this was bullshit. We’ve got to trust the corporate media and our intelligence agencies, right? They would never lie to us and spread misinformation about Russia. Note: Apparently, this is what the corporate media is doing to revive their ratings.

  • Tucker Carlson: The GOP Disconnect

    Occidental Dissent - May 1st 2021 9:02am EDT

    Tucker Carlson addressed the elephant in the room on his show last night. Why don’t Republican politicians represent Republican voters? If you look at just the polls or what kind of stories repeatedly get traction online, you will find that ordinary people who vote for the Republican Party believe most of the same things that […]

  • 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:

  • Tucker Carlson: Joe Biden’s Political Crackdown

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 29th 2021 10:09am EDT

    From my perspective, it doesn’t really matter what Joe Biden said last night about shots in arms, jobs, stimulus checks or rebuilding our infrastructure. When the FBI and the DOJ are acting like the NKVD in the Soviet Union or the Stasi in East Germany and targeting you for state repression on the basis of […]

  • 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 […]

  • A New Progressive Era Or Stalled Revolution?

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 27th 2021 1:58pm EDT

    Cool guy Anand Giridharadas was on MSNBC this morning to debate Joe Biden and the dawn of the new “progressive era.” Joe Biden has signed into law exactly one bill in which budget reconciliation was required to give people free money and that puts him in the same league as FDR. Note: Contrast Joe Biden’s […]
