The Washington Post: Middle Class Liberal Scolds Attack Wall Street Bets
Occidental Dissent - Feb 2nd 2021 11:40am ESTI rest my case. We can’t go after the hedge fund billionaires because someone used the insensitive word “retard.” Such is the current state of middle class, therapeutic, corporate leftwing politics!
Tucker Carlson: Democrats Mobilize U.S. Military To Suppress Domestic Opinions
Occidental Dissent - Feb 1st 2021 10:05pm ESTIsn’t anyone in DC embarrassed that they still have scary looking *barbed wire* surrounding the Capitol after nothing’s happened for almost a month? Apparently not pic.twitter.com/NL2OkUhIRz— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) February 2, 2021 pic.twitter.com/CS4CGioiEE— Robbie Ree (@gimmedatshipunk) February 2, 2021 It seems like there is a disconnect between the hysteria on television, the non-stop panic about […]
Washington Examiner: Donald Trump Voters Are Domestic Terrorists
Occidental Dissent - Feb 1st 2021 7:06pm ESTThere is an “enemy within.” I don’t think it is the QAnon Shaman or Baked F**king Alaska though. It is hysterical people who live in a bubble, who are drunk on power and who talk like this about American citizens. Washington Examiner: “First, bring the heaviest felony charges possible on as many participants in the […]
NYU Researchers Find “No Evidence” Of Anti-Conservative Bias On Social Media
Occidental Dissent - Feb 1st 2021 5:44pm ESTDonald Trump was a big joke. In spite of governing as a conventional Republican president, Big Tech colluded to wipe Donald Trump and his supporters off the internet because Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election. They concluded that it was simply dangerous to allow them to communicate, organize and fundraise on the internet. The Verge: […]
GOP Proposes $1,000 Stimulus Checks
Occidental Dissent - Feb 1st 2021 1:03pm ESTApparently, the Republican Senate still hasn’t learned its lesson. CNBC: “The next stimulus checks could be smaller than $1,400 and reach fewer people if a new plan put forward by some Republican senators is approved. The new proposal from a group of 10 GOP lawmakers calls for $1,000 checks per person, rather than the $1,400 sum […]
Huey Long Seen As A Threat To FDR
Occidental Dissent - Feb 1st 2021 11:39am ESTFDR was an establishment Democrat. We had to terrify the political establishment and build unusual coalitions in the Great Depression to get anything done. When Huey Long was assassinated in 1935, the Share Our Wealth Society had 7.5 million members and 27,000 clubs spread around the country. He didn’t have social media. If Huey Long […]
Make The Game Stop
Occidental Dissent - Feb 1st 2021 11:07am ESTWhat I don’t understand is why Dems AREN’T pushing for $2000 checks. Yes you can argue that a new payment added to an old payment makes a sum total of 2k and thus “counts” but since we all agree direct payments have been inadequate why not just demand 2k instead?— Nathan J Robinson (@NathanJRobinson) February […]
S o T o S p e a k | Ep. 606 | Squeezing Silver
Jared Howe - Feb 1st 2021 6:51am ESTThe dynamic which led to the the Gamestock rally is about to spill over into the silver market, and global finance is PISSED. A lot of people are riding high on schadenfreude but I wouldn’t declare victory yet, though. Collapsing the dollar and the broader American economy doesn’t mean that global finance won’t use the […]
Jacobin: The Case Against The PMC
Occidental Dissent - Jan 31st 2021 5:22pm ESTInteresting videos. I’ve been enjoying the series. Last summer, I began thinking about this after reading Michael Lind’s articles Hub City Riot Ninjas and The Double Horseshoe Theory of Class Politics. I also spent a lot of time reading through the Pew typology surveys and Voter Study Group reports. “Left” and “Right” are illusions. The […]
Brian Stelter: Taking FOX News Off The Air Isn’t Censorship

Politico: What Ulysses Grant Can Teach Joe Biden About Putting Down Violent Insurrections
Occidental Dissent - Jan 31st 2021 11:31am ESTI believe that a large part of Joe Biden’s appeal, especially to older voters, was the perception that he was a moderate who would lower the temperature of the country and that voting for him was a vote to “return to normalcy.” They were tired of the endless hysteria and polarization of the Trump presidency […]
Gallup: Most Say Reducing Cost of Health Care High Priority for Biden

Luke O’Brien: Ricky Vaughn Was Like a Field Commander In The Assault On Our Democracy
Occidental Dissent - Jan 30th 2021 12:06pm ESTThe infamous pro-Trump Twitter troll “Ricky Vaughn” arrested.

NY Times Criticizes Joe Biden’s Executive Orders Blitzkrieg
Occidental Dissent - Jan 29th 2021 12:51pm ESTIt is not because they disagree. Neoliberal Joe’s team came in too hot, too hard, too fast. The progressive base was thrilled by his flurry of executive orders on woke, trans, climate and open borders.
Anti-Populists Are Stewing Over Wall Street Uprising
Occidental Dissent - Jan 29th 2021 10:19am ESTDid you hear the news? A group of Redditors have figured out a way for small investors to cost hedge funds tens of billions of dollars and have exposed our rigged economic system which favors the rich and powerful. Something like 75% of the country is cheering them on. Not everyone is happy though. Thomas […]

Jared Howe - Jan 29th 2021 6:55am ESTSpeculation and market manipulation for me but nor for thee, goyim. That’s the takeaway from the GameStop/AMC debacle. If large corporations and central banks want to totally-not-manipulate markets by printing cash, excluding competitors because of waaaycism, cornering the market through regulatory capture, and squeezing out whistleblowers — well hey, that’s just fine! …but if small […]

Pew: Economy and COVID-19 Top The Public’s Policy Agenda For 2021
Occidental Dissent - Jan 28th 2021 9:14pm ESTIn the last nine days, the Biden administration has rolled out 40 executive orders to address what it calls “America’s four converging crises.” These “four crises” are climate, race, health and the economy. What are the priorities of the American people? Is there a disconnect between Neoliberal Joe’s agenda and the mood of the country? […]
Politico: Twitter’s Priceless Gift To Biden
Occidental Dissent - Jan 28th 2021 5:29pm ESTI didn’t vote for Donald Trump. I didn’t care for Ricky Vaughn either. At the same time, I don’t think that Big Tech should be able to wield its monopoly power to censor Joe Biden’s political enemies. I don’t think the Justice Department should be in the business of arresting Hillary Clinton’s enemies as retaliation […]
