Occidental Dissent - Feb 5th 2021 10:33am ESTWHITE PILL. For those who are blackpilled by Blumpf losing after blowing a winnable election, pick yourself up off the floor. Get a grip, man.

Neoliberal Joe Delivers First Major Foreign Policy Speech
Occidental Dissent - Feb 4th 2021 4:35pm ESTDonald Trump didn’t start a war as president. He came close to starting a war with Iran.

After rejoining the World Health Organization and the Paris Climate Agreement, Joe Biden is off to a mixed start […]

Occidental Dissent - Feb 4th 2021 1:46pm ESTWhat is happening? Who reprogrammed Mitt Romney? Why does Mitt Romney suddenly want to give us money?

Vox: How Congress Learned To Stop Worrying and Start Handing Out Cash
Occidental Dissent - Feb 3rd 2021 2:00pm ESTI hope so. VOX: “The Biden administration and its allies in Congress are pushing for a new round of $1,400 checks to all but the richest Americans.

Huey Long: High Finance Speech
Occidental Dissent - Feb 3rd 2021 11:06am ESTI get irritated when Bernie Sanders is compared to Huey Long. Woke Bernie blew his chance to win the 2020 Democratic primary by trying to appeal to Elizabeth Warren wine track voters. He was too scared to run on Universal Basic Income. He never proposed anything nearly as radical as a wealth cap to crush […]
Huey Long: The Redistribution of Wealth
Occidental Dissent - Feb 2nd 2021 12:04pm ESTEditor’s Note: Since progressive liberals have embraced “equity” and have identified the term with critical race theory to demonize the White working class on racial grounds, we would like to offer an alterative populist program to advance “equity.” It is called the “Share Our Wealth” amendment. “Redistribution of Wealth” Speech Delivered by U.S. SENATOR HUEY […]
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!
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.

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 […]

Thirties Nostalgia
Occidental Dissent - Jan 31st 2021 8:52pm ESTWe spent several months last year on the 1920s. I’ve been enjoying continuing my research into the 1930s. It has been interesting reading about Huey Long and Father Coughlin. We haven’t seen their style of politics in our lifetimes.

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.
