Donald Trump Speaks At North Carolina Republican Party State Convention
Occidental Dissent - Jun 7th 2021 12:57pm EDTMiss me yet? In some ways, Trump’s legacy looks better in retrospect. Trump was certainly better than Joe Biden on gas prices, inflation and immigration. He didn’t push systematic racism and “equity.” I’ve never seen hotel prices so high in the Florida Panhandle. The price of a gallon of gas is also $2.80 on the […]
Liberal Larry Reacts To Donald Trump’s North Carolina Speech
Occidental Dissent - Jun 7th 2021 12:22pm EDTI missed Donald Trump’s big speech in North Carolina last night.

Rural Alabama and Portland are […]
Joe Manchin Effectively Kills HR 1
Occidental Dissent - Jun 7th 2021 10:45am EDTAs David Shor pointed out, the best shot that Democrats had of clinging to power in Congress in the 2022 midterms was to radically change the game by passing HR 1 or adding new states to change the balance of power in the Senate which tilts toward sparsely populated rural states. Charleston Gazette: “The right […]
Wall Street Journal: The Science Suggests a Wuhan Lab Leak
Occidental Dissent - Jun 6th 2021 11:24pm EDTEditor’s Note: I’m finally back home after a long weekend at the beach in Florida. We went down there to celebrate my son’s birthday. This always seemed like an obvious question to me. If COVID escaped from a lab OR was released there to undermine the Chinese government, wouldn’t it be obvious? Wall Street Journal: […]

Salon: Godless Grifters: How the New Atheists Merged With The Far Right
Occidental Dissent - Jun 5th 2021 12:39pm EDTWelcome aboard. It seems like every day now more and more people are being subtracted from the Left due to insufficient wokeness: traditional liberals, New Atheist centrists, social democrats. Salon: “James Lindsay: Once a promising young atheist, Lindsay published “Everybody Is Wrong About God” in 2015 and, three years later, “How to Have Impossible Conversations,” co-authored […]
Anthony Fauci: It Is An Attack On Science
Occidental Dissent - Jun 5th 2021 12:11pm EDTAnthony Fauci is correct. If the lab leak theory is true and there was a coverup, then science is responsible for this disaster. You could say that science was also responsible for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The issue here is whether it wise to allow people like Bat Lady to come to the United States and […]
The Atlantic: ‘Nobody Wants White Kids to Feel Bad About Their Race’
Occidental Dissent - Jun 5th 2021 11:35am EDTIf you are a White parent, do you think your child should be indoctrinated in racial guilt from the earliest possible age in the public education system over things which happened hundreds of years ago and issues which have long since been resolved? This is what some progressive activists believe. As a result, this is […]
Vox: Where’s The Impossible Burger of Cheese?
Occidental Dissent - Jun 5th 2021 10:15am EDTIt is the year 2030. After President Kamala Harris’s ATF knocks down your door and confiscates your illegal ground beef, steaks, bacon and sausage, they have returned to your house. They have forgotten something. They might have missed a gallon of milk and a lowly slice or two of American cheese. Vox: “These shifts from […]

Matt Taibbi: Congratulations, Elitists: Liberals and Conservatives Do Have Common Interests Now
Occidental Dissent - Jun 4th 2021 10:06am EDTThe go-to response to any criticism of mainstream politics for years has been to accuse people of being in league with the right-wing – well, congratulations, you’ve made those alliances real. https://t.co/euFoVj19NJ — Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) June 3, 2021 The Catch-22 of modern press: reporters are told they can’t make an impact if their only […]
The Guardian: Publishing’s Cancel Culture Debate Boils Over
Occidental Dissent - Jun 3rd 2021 8:56pm EDTA spectre is haunting the publishing industry. It is the spectre of woke progressivism and incipient totalitarianism.

NPR: A Guide To Gender Identity Terms
Occidental Dissent - Jun 3rd 2021 7:44pm EDTWhat is the Left? Are we obsessed with the culture war? Did we choose this battleground on this set of exotic issues?

New Rising: Why The Left Loves The Culture War
Occidental Dissent - Jun 3rd 2021 4:40pm EDTObviously, I’m a lot closer to Emily Jashinsky on this issue than Krystal Ball or Saagar Enjeti or Secular Talk. She is right that progressives are far more animated by polarizing culture war issues than economics – witness the discovery of systematic racism, political correctness or wokeness, branding their opposition “domestic extremism,” “trans,” censorship, reparations, […]
The Cynical Historian: Neoliberalism
Occidental Dissent - Jun 3rd 2021 3:14pm EDTGet in line. Pretty much everyone hates neoliberalism.
