  • The Realignment: Senator Josh Hawley

    Occidental Dissent - May 11th 2021 9:09am EDT

    I agree with breaking up the Big Tech monopolies. Can a lone U.S. senator break up the Big Tech monopolies though? Wouldn’t this necessarily require reaching a consensus on the issue in the Republican Party and conservatives getting over their romanticization of free-market ideology? Hawley has been pushing this issue for years. It is great […]

  • Bernie Sanders: Progressivism Can’t Endure As The Party of the PMC

    Occidental Dissent - May 11th 2021 12:10am EDT

    .@jonathanvswan: “If … [the Dem] Party becomes the party of the college educated, Republicans become the party of the not, do you think that’s sustainable for a progressive party?” @SenSanders: “No … And I don’t think it’s sustainable for American democracy.” #AxiosOnHBO pic.twitter.com/DQQLKxtKLX — Axios (@axios) May 10, 2021 Bernie Sanders should have an idea […]

  • Chris Hayes: Jeff Bezos Buys $500M Superyacht As Americans Sink Into Poverty

    Occidental Dissent - May 10th 2021 9:58pm EDT

    Mainstream conservatives don’t see any problem with this.

  • TAC: Biden Plans Expansion Of Feds’ Army Of Snitches In ‘Dollars For Collars’ Program

    Occidental Dissent - May 10th 2021 6:41pm EDT

    If you had to choose, what would you say is the worst aspect of the Biden administration? In my view, it is the assault on civil liberties by the political establishment, the redefinition of justice as social justice and the inconsistent way in which the law is being applied now as a weapon to repress […]

  • National Review: Biden HHS Redefines Sex as Non-Biological in New ‘Anti-Discrimination’ Rule Change

    Occidental Dissent - May 10th 2021 5:12pm EDT

    What do you think is crazier? Is it the fact that the culture war is now raging over something as clear cut as biological sex, OR, the fact that this is happening because the conservative legal movement gave us Neil Gorsuch and John Roberts who opened the door to it in the Bostock decision last […]

  • Five Thirty Eight: How The Politics Of White Liberals And White Conservatives Are Shaped By Whiteness

    Occidental Dissent - May 10th 2021 4:20pm EDT

    Do you really need a study to tell you this? Five Thirty Eight: “For years, we have sought to understand how whiteness and perceived threats to it (in social science lingo, “social identity threats”) affect white Americans’ perceptions of their standing in society. Specifically, we have been interested in capturing white Americans’ sense of how […]

  • Piers Morgan: Beware President Biden. If You Go Woke, You’ll Go Broke

    Occidental Dissent - May 10th 2021 3:11pm EDT

    Joe Biden has already gone woke. As far as I am aware, he has gone far beyond anything seen in the UK where this nonsense is just a colonial outpost. The UK didn’t have Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots and statue topplings on the scale of the United States last summer although this crap […]

  • Daily Mail: China Was Preparing For World War III With Biological Weapons Including Coronaviruses

    Occidental Dissent - May 10th 2021 1:42pm EDT

    Do you think this might be important? Is it a coincidence that the pandemic began in December 2019 at the exact moment when talk of a new Cold War was bubbling up and tensions were high over Hong Kong and Xinjiang? I always thought it was odd that was what was dominating the news immediately […]

(@OwenJones84) December 11, 2019 ??? pic.twitter.com/jDwiebys5j — Ash Sarkar (@AyoCaesar) June 20, 2020 Today’s Tories only talk about class to divert attention away from addressing racism, not because they want to address the grotesque economic inequalities that define work, housing, health, education and political power. — Owen Jones ?

  • Wyoming Voters Sound Off On Liz Cheney

    Occidental Dissent - May 10th 2021 11:23am EDT

    The only reason this woman is even in Congress or holds the privileged position of power that she does is because her daddy is Dick Cheney. The Republican establishment is dead. Stick a fork in it. Harry Enten pointed out in a recent article that Liz Cheney only had a mere 7% favorability rating with […]

  • Taft, Dewey and Ike: The Republican War Over a New Direction After FDR

    Occidental Dissent - May 10th 2021 9:44am EDT

    This is an excellent series of videos. Mainstream liberalism and conservatism are governing ideologies of the Democratic Party and Republican Party respectively which emerged in response to the the Great Depression. These ideologies are embedded in time and reflect the political coalitions that came out of the New Deal. New Deal liberalism on the Democratic […]

  • Vaush: Addressing “Anti-Woke” Leftists

    Occidental Dissent - May 10th 2021 12:06am EDT

Let’s start with some basic definitions of terms: Reactionary – In political science, a reactionary or reactionist is a person or entity holding political views that favor a return to a previous political […]

  • 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.

  • Caitlyn Jenner Supports Amnesty For Illegal Aliens

    Occidental Dissent - May 9th 2021 6:54pm EDT

    I’ve laughed off Caitlyn Jenner’s gubernatorial campaign. I’m deeply skeptical of voting for Republicans who are openly aligned with our values. I just don’t trust these people to represent our views based on twenty years of experience with them. How about supporting a socially liberal, fiscally conservative tranny and reality television star who supports amnesty […]

  • Jimmy Dore: Google Caught Helping CIA Spy On You

    Occidental Dissent - May 9th 2021 6:22pm EDT

    Democrats approve of the CIA more than Republicans do by 9 points, and approve of FBI by *23 points more* than Republicans. Two defining features of the modern-day Democrat are reverence for institutions of authority (they also love the corporate press) and censorship support. pic.twitter.com/7zoAWXxJ4Q — Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) May 9, 2021 (Beyond the CIA […]

  • Portland Man Nearly Killed By Black Lives Matter Lynch Mob

    Occidental Dissent - May 9th 2021 5:27pm EDT

    A 53-year-old Portland driver remains hospitalized from 5 broken ribs, a dislocated shoulder & a broken clavicle sustained when he was beaten by a crowd of armed #BLM protesters who boxed him in on the road. After beating him, they stole his belongings. https://t.co/ZIjy73lWGh — Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) May 8, 2021 The city of Portland […]

  • 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 […]

  • Brian Stelter: Tucker Carlson’s Coworkers Are Embarrassed By His Rhetoric

    Occidental Dissent - May 9th 2021 3:34pm EDT

    He is mad that we are laughing at his declining ratings. Note: Seriously though, the fact that people like Stelter are pushing the COVID vaccine is probably why millions of people won’t take it. They are automatically skeptical of anything these people say. Have you noticed that Stelter and Liberal Larry have the same effeminate […]

  • 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 […]

  • Sunday Times: What’s The Point Of The Labour Party?

    Occidental Dissent - May 9th 2021 12:29pm EDT

    In three headlines from the UK, we can see the future of both conservatism and the Republican Party and woke progressivism and the Democrats in the United States. The Guardian: “Anti-fascist campaigners have been celebrating a dismal performance by far-right candidates in elections around the UK, from Scotland to council polls in England. Their disastrous […]

  • Canadian Street Preacher Arrested For Inciting People To Attend His Church

    Occidental Dissent - May 9th 2021 12:07am EDT

    This actually just happened in Canada. It is May and the vaccine is rolling out. And yet, they are doing this anyway. Calgary Herald: “Calgary police have arrested street preacher Artur Pawlowski after he failed to abide by public health orders again during a Saturday church service during which dozens were congregating without masks, with […]

  • Liz Cheney: The Fight Against Trumpism Is Only Beginning

    Occidental Dissent - May 8th 2021 8:23pm EDT

    Liz Cheney is stirring up a fuss and it really has nothing to do with Donald Trump, the “insurrection” or the 2022 midterms. The real issue here is that the Republican establishment has been repudiated by its own voters and has been demographically eclipsed within the party. Washington Post: “Rep. Liz Cheney had been arguing […]

  • Bill Maher: Sex, Drugs & GOP

    Occidental Dissent - May 8th 2021 7:43pm EDT

    Bill Maher has a point. It was never as bad though in the days of the Moral Majority. Jerry Falwell had Liberty University. Woke supremacy has Harvard and Woke Capital.

  • MSNBC: Political Fringe Looks To Take Over The Party Of Eisenhower

    Occidental Dissent - May 8th 2021 6:36pm EDT

    Presidential historian John Meacham has a poor read of American history. America’s political parties, political coalitions and governing ideologies have always had a shelf life. The implosion of mainstream conservatism and mainstream liberalism was actually long overdue and inevitable. We’re simply going through another transition between party systems. The political establishment has always responded like […]

  • Jimmy Dore: Why Is The U.S. Coast Guard Operating In The Persian Gulf?

    Occidental Dissent - May 8th 2021 3:45pm EDT

    Good question. Does anyone know the answer to this?
