Jacobin: Cancel Culture Undermines The Left
Occidental Dissent - Apr 29th 2021 4:02pm EDTObviously, I agree. Political correctness or wokeness or cancel culture is unquestionably one of the biggest pathologies of the Left.

Ted Cruz: Your Woke Money Is No Good Here
Occidental Dissent - Apr 29th 2021 1:00pm EDTTed Cruz’s latest op-ed is an excellent example of this transition.

Matt Karp: How Democrats Lost The Working Class
Occidental Dissent - Apr 29th 2021 12:14pm EDTMatt Karp is my favorite college-educated Brooklyn-based socialist. We have similar views on the PMC Question.

Tucker Carlson: Joe Biden’s Political Crackdown
Occidental Dissent - Apr 29th 2021 10:09am EDTFrom my perspective, it doesn’t really matter what Joe Biden said last night about shots in arms, jobs, stimulus checks or rebuilding our infrastructure.

Joe Biden’s Joint Address To Congress

Thomas Edsall: Should Biden Emphasize Race or Class or Both or None of the Above?
Occidental Dissent - Apr 28th 2021 12:35pm EDTI strongly agree with James Carville. As a White Independent voter, I obviously think the woke messaging is extremely repulsive.

Woke Progressives: Actually, We Should Curb Meat Eating To Fight Climate Change
Occidental Dissent - Apr 28th 2021 10:14am EDTWoke progressives already want the power to determine what words you can say on the internet, whether you can hold a professional class job in this country based on your political and cultural views and whether you can attend prestigious colleges or serve in the military or law enforcement.

James Carville: ““Wokeness Is a Problem and We All Know It”
Occidental Dissent - Apr 27th 2021 1:06pm EDTWoke progressivism is an opportunity for us. The Democrats have embraced Ibram X.

Axios: Books Become Free Speech Battleground
Occidental Dissent - Apr 27th 2021 8:34am EDTI’ve changed my mind about what to call this. A few years ago, I was calling it “progressive liberalism,” but that term now strikes me as a bit dated.
