    Occidental Dissent - Apr 4th 2021 10:31pm EDT

    The “white supremacists” have struck again. New York Post: “An Asian woman was fatally stabbed while walking her dogs in California in what cops are calling a random attack. Ke Chieh Meng, 64, was out with her two small pups in Riverside around 7:30 a.m. Saturday when she was stabbed and left on the ground […]

  • Harry Enten: Why Republicans Can Claim To Be The Party Of The White Working Class

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 4th 2021 9:01pm EDT

    Unfortunately, they aren’t acting like it. Conservatism, Inc. and the Republican policy agenda hasn’t caught up yet with the reality of who Republican voters are these days. The GOP establishment wing of suburban moderates has been reduced to a disaffected rump. PMCs are no longer equally split between the two parties. CNN: “(CNN) – Iowa […]

  • New York Times: Biden Steps Up Federal Efforts to Combat Domestic Extremism

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 4th 2021 5:55pm EDT

    You’ve probably noticed the change in tone around here since January toward the Biden administration This is the single most important reason why that has happened. New York Times: “WASHINGTON — The Biden administration is stepping up efforts to combat domestic extremism, increasing funding to prevent attacks, weighing strategies historically used against foreign terrorist groups […]

  • Brookings Institution: White Supremacists Are Broke, Divided and Marginalized

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 4th 2021 5:00pm EDT

    Wait, what? How can these two things possibly be true? Brookings: “Public support for white supremacy is still low, and support for violence is lower still. … Racism, anti-Semitism, anti-immigrant sentiment, and other white supremacist beliefs remain strong, though thankfully they are less mainstream than they were decades ago. … In contrast, the open expression […]

  • Rising: How Trump Fleeced Supporters For Millions On Election Fraud

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 4th 2021 4:28pm EDT

    I’m not the biggest fan of Donald Trump. I got so much grief for this stance in the Trump years. I smelled a rat even before he was sworn in as president when he started making big moves like appointing Gary Cohn as his chief economic adviser. Throughout the whole Trump era, I was extremely […]

  • State of Der Movement

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 4th 2021 11:58am EDT

    Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. I’m borrowing the phrase “Der Movement” from Ted Sallis. I’ve found that I am more productive and in better spirits the less that I think about and the less that I engage with all the various factions which comprise Der Movement. Let’s run through a short list […]

  • Donald Trump: Boycott Woke Corporations Too

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 3rd 2021 8:43pm EDT

    You heard the man. We’re drinking water now to own the libs. Note: Actually, it is better for you anyway.

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 3rd 2021 7:56pm EDT

    What if you have decided that you don’t want to do the work?

  • PBS Newshour: Crackdown On Online Hate Speech Pushes “Extremists” To Other Platforms

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 3rd 2021 7:22pm EDT

    What is “hate” and “extremist speech”? It is anything that falls outside of the viewpoint of progressive activists who are around 8% of the population. This includes everyone from Donald Trump down to millions of his followers as well as people whose views wouldn’t pass muster in the New York Times newsroom. Those people have […]

  • Liberal Larry: “Insurrectionist” Attacks The U.S. Capitol

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 3rd 2021 1:07pm EDT

    It was obviously “white supremacy.”

  • Donald Trump: Boycott Major League Baseball

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 3rd 2021 11:48am EDT

    I’m just laughing at this. It has gotten to the point where baseball is polarizing. FOX News: “Former President Donald Trump fired a high, hard fastball at Major League Baseball on Friday night, urging fans to boycott the “national pastime” over its decision to pull this year’s All-Star Game from the Atlanta area. Trump asserted that MLB’s leadership was […]

  • Jacobin: When The Right Courted Labor

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 3rd 2021 11:03am EDT

    The terms “Left” and “Right” are highly misleading. In reality, the “Left” and “Right” in the United States have always been composed of different factions and interests which are always drifting between the two parties like tectonic plates as coalitions are created and dissolve. It is a mistake to analyze the “Left” or the “Right” […]

  • Tucker Carlson: Georgia Isn’t “Jim Crow On Steroids”

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 3rd 2021 8:26am EDT

    Why are we still doing “Right Populism”? As I said the other day, the Democrats have become the Republican Party. It is an Eastern party that has aligned Big Business with wealthy elites, upper middle class professionals and progressive activists. We’ve seen this before. It used to be called the Whig Party and the Republican […]

  • MLB Punishes Blue Atlanta Over Georgia Election Integrity Law

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 2nd 2021 7:14pm EDT

    Makes a lot of sense. This will show all those people who don’t live in Georgia, but not in Metro Atlanta who is boss. ESPN: “Major League Baseball announced Friday that it is moving the 2021 All-Star Game out of Atlanta in response to a new Georgia law that has civil rights groups concerned about […]

  • Poll: Americans Are Divided On Joe’s Infrastructure Plan

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 2nd 2021 7:07pm EDT

    What exactly is this thing? Reuters: “Only 45% of Americans said they would support a jobs and infrastructure plan that was “recently released by the Biden administration.” Another 27% said they were opposed and the remaining 28% said they were not sure. The decline in support appears to be mostly a partisan reaction: only about […]

  • Joe Biden Mocks Trump For Failing To Deliver On Infrastructure

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 2nd 2021 2:43pm EDT

    Donald Trump kind of forgot about the MAGA agenda.

  • Rising: Oren Cass Reveals The Truth Behind Wall Street’s Claim That They Add Value To The American Economy

  • Charlie Sykes: Yes, Cancel Stephen Miller

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 2nd 2021 1:46pm EDT

    As Thomas Frank predicted, the Democrats have finally become the party of the wealthy and the self-righteous suburban professionals. The Bulwark: “Reasonable people can disagree about the metrics of redemption for Trump era collaborators, enablers, and rationalizers. How long did they stay? Are they willing to speak out now? How much damage did they do? […]

  • Tucker Carlson: The GOP Is No Longer The Party Of Wall Street

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 2nd 2021 12:38pm EDT

    This is true and false. As I have shown in elaborate detail, Donald Trump’s true legacy is that he changed the demographics of the Republican Party. He changed the voters. Lots of people who were Democrats and Independents are now Republicans. At the same time, people who were Republicans are now Democrats. The ground underneath […]

  • Russia Slams Anti-White “Aggression” In United States

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 2nd 2021 12:29pm EDT

    H/T IronicSockAccount It amazes me that this has never occurred to the Democrats. Moscow Times: “Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Thursday warned that anti-white racism might be building in the United States and said that political correctness “taken to the extreme” would have lamentable consequences. In an interview with political scientists broadcast on national […]

  • The Week: Biden Slams The Door Shut On Reaganism

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 2nd 2021 11:30am EDT

    Damon Linker makes some solid points in this article. I think he is a bit biased here though. He is accurately describing the extent to which the Republicans have changed and exaggerating the degree to which the Democrats have changed. The Week: “Since Donald Trump’s shocking primary and general election victories in 2016, arguably the […]

  • George Floyd’s Banana Dance

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 2nd 2021 9:58am EDT

    I’m shocked. Are you saying there is more to the George Floyd story than the simple narrative that was pushed by the media to inflame racial tensions ahead of the 2020 election?

  • Tucker Carlson: Joe Biden Raises Your Taxes While He Dodges His Own

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 1st 2021 9:37pm EDT

    I got to say … I winced. Eric Levitz of all people makes a good point. New York Magazine: “Donald Trump believes that tailoring U.S. tax policy to the preferences of the American people — rather than to those of multinational corporations and their lobbyists — constitutes a “globalist betrayal” of the United States and […]

  • Joe Biden “Strongly Supports” Moving MLB All-Star Game Out Of Atlanta Due To New Georgia Election Law

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 1st 2021 7:20pm EDT

    Welcome to the sixth or seventh party system. CBS News: “President Biden says he’d “strongly support” moving the Major League Baseball All-Star game out of Atlanta as a rebuke to strict new voting restrictions in the state. The president said on ESPN Wednesday night that the curbs are “just not right.” “This is Jim Crow on steroids, […]

  • Thomas Frank Predicted This

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 1st 2021 4:12pm EDT

    Interesting. Years ago, I bought and read Thomas Frank’s book What’s The Matter With Kansas? when it came out in the 2000s when George W. Bush was president. I agreed with Frank’s critique of mainstream conservatism. Just read what I wrote about the Trump presidency for four years. It is basically the same idea. I […]
