  • The COVID Class War Heats Up

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 18th 2021 12:51pm EDT

    Michael Lind is always a delight to read. He is from Texas. He is an economic progressive. He also reflexively writes from a historical perspective like I do. This is a great take on what is going on with contemporary progressivism, the lockdowns which devastated the economy and the realignment of the two parties. Tablet […]

  • Voters Self-Destruct With Good Intentions

    Amerika.org - Mar 18th 2021 8:02am EDT

    Being a realist allows one to see human behavior for what it is, which means generally looking at the self-interest behind all that people do, especially when they claim otherwise through altruistic ideology. When we look at the voters, we see a group of people who are trying to make themselves look good so that […]

  • S o T o S p e a k | Ep. 635 | January 6th Narrative Collapse

    Jared Howe - Mar 18th 2021 6:57am EDT

    Two and a half months later, not a single person has been charged with murder for the DeADLy RiOt that occurred on January 6th at the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. Two men have been charged with simple assault for the death of Officer Brian Sicknick, who died at least one days later from causes […]

  • Saint Patrick’s Day Represents Extremely Extreme Extremism

    Amerika.org - Mar 17th 2021 10:51pm EDT

    When behaving badly, do so in an understated fashion to remain below the radar screen. A simple orange polo shirt in honor of St. Paddy’s Day speaks volumes without yelling or even disturbing the peace. I like to think of it as sartorial passive-aggression. Perhaps I’ll also wear a fleur-de-lys on El Cinco De Mayo. […]

  • Poll: American Democracy Only Caters To The Rich and Powerful

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 17th 2021 5:32pm EDT

    The division in this country is inflamed and exaggerated by the media. American Survey Center: “The surge in partisan polarization in America has made it a rarity that Democrats and Republicans could ever find common ground on an issue. However, data from the new January 2021 American Perspectives Survey (APS) reveals one important area where […]

  • Joe’s Border Crisis

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 17th 2021 1:15pm EDT

    The Biden administration came in guns blazing and delivered on their promise to merge immigration policy with wokeness, open borders, multiple amnesties and leftwing slogans like “Abolish ICE.” Reuters: “The poll findings, based on surveys conducted before and after Donald Trump’s presidency, show that Republicans are becoming more unified around the former president’s hardline views […]

  • Democrats Can’t Duck The Culture War

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 17th 2021 9:36am EDT

    Thomas Edsall thinks that Joe Biden and the Democrats can somehow duck the culture war now after intentionally dialing it up a thousand notches over the past four years. New York Times: “The Biden administration appears to have adopted a two-pronged strategy to reduce the corrosive impact of hot-button social, cultural and racial issues: first […]

  • Investigating “The Ratchet Effect”

    Amerika.org - Mar 17th 2021 8:02am EDT

    Civilization resembles a snowball in that it picks up behaviors along the way that, unless they cause a lost war or great depression, end up becoming part of the ever-accumulating “new normal.” This condition arises from reward structures and fear of social blame. No one gets in trouble for doing what everyone else is doing; […]

  • Tucker Carlson Goes To El Salvador

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 16th 2021 9:06pm EDT

    Donald Trump is no longer president. Trump voters, however, still control the Republican Party. 64% of Trump voters now say their racial identity is “very, extremely or somewhat” important to their sense of identity while only 17% of Trump voters say it is not important at all. 90% of Republican voters are opposed to Joe […]

  • Karl Rove: People Don’t Even WANT $1,400 Checks!

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 16th 2021 7:52pm EDT

    LMAO. Who supports $1,400 checks? We know exactly who the Republicans are who support the $1,400 checks. It is the “Right Populists.” The people who are opposed to it the strongest are the Never Trump True Cons or Free Marketeers and to a somewhat lesser degree what used to be the old Republican base before […]

  • My Top Five Issues

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 16th 2021 2:22pm EDT

    I’ve spent the last two months analyzing polls. After taking a long break from politics, my interest in the subject returned with a vengeance when Donald Trump exited the White House. I’ve spent the last two months of the Biden era analyzing all of these polls trying to grasp the contours of the post-Trump political […]

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 16th 2021 1:14pm EDT

    “Behold a republic in which civil and religious liberty stimulate all to earnest endeavor and in which the law restrains every hand uplifted for a neighbor’s injury – a republic in which every citizen is a sovereign, but in which no one cares to wear a crown.” – William Jennings Bryan Baseball Crank thinks there […]

  • DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas: We’re Facing The Worst Border Crisis In Twenty Years

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 16th 2021 11:08am EDT

    The “accelerationists” were right. FOX News: “Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday said that the U.S. is on track to encounter more migrants than it has in the last 20 years, as he defended the administration’s approach to a border surge that he described as “difficult” – but again fell short of calling it a crisis. “The situation at […]

  • FOX News Is Trying To Win Back The Red Dogs

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 16th 2021 9:55am EDT

    This appears to be the strategy. I don’t think it is a bad strategy in light of what Joe is doing. FOX News is trying to appeal to Trumpists with political correctness/wokeness and immigration and Red Dogs with fiscal conservatism. There is enough there for both of these factions to be pissed off with the […]

  • Inversion of an Inversion

    Amerika.org - Mar 16th 2021 8:02am EDT

    Under the force of nature, humans live from cause-to-effect. They figure out what creates fire and replicate it; they understand how animals hunt, and adopt similar strategies. They live by intellect more than instinct. When a society thrives, it has excess wealth, and this insulates people from nature. They now think in effect-to-effect: how to […]

    You ever get the feeling that the Permanent Washington Establishment is more concerned with increasing the degree of government control over white people than it is with protecting us from diseases? It’s almost though COVID alarmism is Trojan horse for critical race theory, which is itself a Trojan horse for communism… America’s children are under […]

  • Poll: Joe Sinks

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 15th 2021 11:23pm EDT

    According to David Shor, this number would put Joe well underwater. The Electoral College is biased in favor of Republicans which means that Joe has to stay above 52% in the polls to remain in good shape. Falling below 49% is the number to watch out for in the 2022 midterms. PPP: Note: We will […]

  • The Rad Con Future

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 15th 2021 7:52pm EDT

    Here are my thoughts: In 2021, the Republican Party is two parties. It is the Trump Party and the Republican Party. Republican voters are split about 50/50 between people who identify more as traditional Republicans and Trump supporters. The strongest Republican voters are now the newcomers. Approximately half of the Republican Party is what I […]

  • David Shor and The Mathematics Of Winning Elections

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 15th 2021 5:38pm EDT

    David Shor has been making the rounds lately. It seems that people on the Right are more interested in what he has to say and less interested in canceling him than his fellow progressives. They drive away all kinds of people with that shit.
