Tucker Carlson: Outside Mask Myth
Occidental Dissent - Apr 26th 2021 9:28pm EDTDidn’t everyone already know this?

Occidental Dissent - Apr 26th 2021 5:42pm EDTOh well … I’m glad that I don’t live in one of these places. Why the hell would anyone be stupid enough to be a police officer in one of these cities?

Rising: Caitlyn Jenner Is The Wrong Outsider For Our Times
Occidental Dissent - Apr 26th 2021 3:14pm EDTYa think? I wasn’t going to bother writing about this. Caitlyn Jenner is running for governor of California.

Poll: Americans Overwhelmingly Dislike The Woke Oscars
Occidental Dissent - Apr 26th 2021 1:04pm EDTI don’t watch this garbage. I can’t even bring myself to do it out of a sense of duty to report back to my own audience like I regularly do by watching PMC TV. Piers Morgan watched the 2021 Oscars to write a review. Daily Mail: “The howl was loud, prolonged, anguished and animated. Actress […]

Bill Maher Blasts The Brats
Occidental Dissent - Apr 26th 2021 11:12am EDTBill Maher has been on a roll.

Sen. Josh Hawley Is Trying To Win Us Over
Occidental Dissent - Apr 26th 2021 10:15am EDTSen. Josh Hawley has been making some big moves lately. Yes, Josh Hawley is only one senator in a Republican caucus that is full of throwbacks to the 1980s, but there is an important difference. Hawley is only 41-years-old and is much more ideologically sympatico with us. National Review: “EXCLUSIVE – Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., will introduce […]
Ezra Klein: Let’s Launch a Moonshot for Meatless Meat
Occidental Dissent - Apr 25th 2021 4:28pm EDTI’m serious. It is already bad enough that gas prices and food prices have shot up in recent months.

Portland Mayor Impotently Condemn Antifa Who Rule His City
Occidental Dissent - Apr 25th 2021 3:48pm EDTIf I remember correctly, the insurrection in Portland was Trump’s fault.

Poll: Joe Biden Gets High Marks On COVID, Trails On Other Issues
Occidental Dissent - Apr 25th 2021 3:15pm EDTJoe is being propped up by COVID. As I suspected, COVID is rapidly fading as an issue though for most voters.

George Floyd’s Death Spurred a Historic Wave of Attacks on Confederate Monuments
Occidental Dissent - Apr 25th 2021 2:19pm EDTIt seemed to me like any monument would do at the time.

They made it clear that their goal is to cleanse the public space of all of American history […]
Keith Woods: Is Christianity Leftwing?
Occidental Dissent - Apr 25th 2021 12:22pm EDTI’ve noticed that this bizarre debate has been going on since I left Twitter. Isn’t the big political and cultural divide in America between traditionalists and modernists or social conservatives and social liberals or Christians and atheists and agnostics? If memory serves, atheism is more strongly associated with social liberalism and cultural degeneration than even […]

Newsweek: Antifa Vow To Continue Engaging In Violence
Occidental Dissent - Apr 24th 2021 3:51pm EDTAntifa have nothing to fear from Merrick Garland or the FBI. It is not like Democrats see the law as anything but a tool to be used to repress the Right.

Jimmy Dore: MSNBC Contributor Goes Off The Rails
Occidental Dissent - Apr 24th 2021 3:32pm EDTI’ve always hated these people. They used to be Republicans in the 2000s. Now, they seem to have perches everywhere in left-leaning media. The Bulwark is a Democrat website.
Wokal Distance Explains “I’m So Exhausted”
Occidental Dissent - Apr 24th 2021 2:47pm EDTWokal Distance has an excellent thread that explains why these little brat “journalists” are always using this phrase on Twitter. 1/The phrase “I’M SO EXHAUSTED” in upper class intellectual professions comes from Social Justice activism and belongs to the same constellation of concepts as: -emotional labor-do the work-triggered-trauma-self-care-white fragility So, “I’m so exhausted”: A Thread?

Snitch Culture: Capitol Stormer Turned In By Bumble Match
Occidental Dissent - Apr 23rd 2021 10:03pm EDTWe now live in East Germany. This is what a real totalitarian police state looks like.

Antony Blinken Authorizes U.S. Embassies To Fly The LGBTQ Flag
Occidental Dissent - Apr 23rd 2021 7:41pm EDTIn my view, the Biden administration should just fly the Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ flags.
