  • Taft, Dewey and Ike: The Republican War Over a New Direction After FDR

    Occidental Dissent - May 10th 2021 9:44am EDT

    This is an excellent series of videos. Mainstream liberalism and conservatism are governing ideologies of the Democratic Party and Republican Party respectively which emerged in response to the the Great Depression. These ideologies are embedded in time and reflect the political coalitions that came out of the New Deal. New Deal liberalism on the Democratic […]

  • Vaush: Addressing “Anti-Woke” Leftists

    Occidental Dissent - May 10th 2021 12:06am EDT

    LMFAOOOOOOO WHAT https://t.co/uJX7bF1gsV — shoe (@shoe0nhead) May 9, 2021 pic.twitter.com/h5ATQvz1oU — david leal (@itsdavidleal) May 9, 2021 I needed a good laugh. Let’s start with some basic definitions of terms: Reactionary – In political science, a reactionary or reactionist is a person or entity holding political views that favor a return to a previous political […]

  • Radix: Polarization In The UK

    Occidental Dissent - May 9th 2021 8:16pm EDT

    I share Ed’s enthusiasm for the collapse of the Labour Party.

  • Caitlyn Jenner Supports Amnesty For Illegal Aliens

    Occidental Dissent - May 9th 2021 6:54pm EDT

    I’ve laughed off Caitlyn Jenner’s gubernatorial campaign. I’m deeply skeptical of voting for Republicans who are openly aligned with our values. I just don’t trust these people to represent our views based on twenty years of experience with them. How about supporting a socially liberal, fiscally conservative tranny and reality television star who supports amnesty […]

  • Jimmy Dore: Google Caught Helping CIA Spy On You

    Occidental Dissent - May 9th 2021 6:22pm EDT

    Democrats approve of the CIA more than Republicans do by 9 points, and approve of FBI by *23 points more* than Republicans. Two defining features of the modern-day Democrat are reverence for institutions of authority (they also love the corporate press) and censorship support. pic.twitter.com/7zoAWXxJ4Q — Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) May 9, 2021 (Beyond the CIA […]

  • Portland Man Nearly Killed By Black Lives Matter Lynch Mob

    Occidental Dissent - May 9th 2021 5:27pm EDT

    A 53-year-old Portland driver remains hospitalized from 5 broken ribs, a dislocated shoulder & a broken clavicle sustained when he was beaten by a crowd of armed #BLM protesters who boxed him in on the road. After beating him, they stole his belongings. https://t.co/ZIjy73lWGh — Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) May 8, 2021 The city of Portland […]

  • Zaid Jilani: Anti-Racist Messaging Is Failing With Voters. So Why Can’t Liberals Quit It?

    Occidental Dissent - May 9th 2021 4:12pm EDT

    I’ve been following this debate with great interest. We’ve even taken the lead in adapting class-based messaging and framing to “far right” politics. It is a neat fit because PMCs and their downwardly mobile children who become Antifa and who have cosmopolitan, modernist and antiracist values are our opposition anyway. Newsweek: “If you’ve spent any […]

  • Brian Stelter: Tucker Carlson’s Coworkers Are Embarrassed By His Rhetoric

    Occidental Dissent - May 9th 2021 3:34pm EDT

    He is mad that we are laughing at his declining ratings. Note: Seriously though, the fact that people like Stelter are pushing the COVID vaccine is probably why millions of people won’t take it. They are automatically skeptical of anything these people say. Have you noticed that Stelter and Liberal Larry have the same effeminate […]

  • New York Post: Biden’s New Left of Racial Radicals

    Occidental Dissent - May 9th 2021 2:51pm EDT

    I’ve never cared for Sen. Tim Scott. He strikes me as a creature of conservative think tanks. You can imagine Tim Scott being created in a lab at the American Enterprise Institute as a black version of Paul Ryan. I was struck though by something he said in an op-ed that he wrote about the […]

  • Sunday Times: What’s The Point Of The Labour Party?

    Occidental Dissent - May 9th 2021 12:29pm EDT

    In three headlines from the UK, we can see the future of both conservatism and the Republican Party and woke progressivism and the Democrats in the United States. The Guardian: “Anti-fascist campaigners have been celebrating a dismal performance by far-right candidates in elections around the UK, from Scotland to council polls in England. Their disastrous […]

  • Canadian Street Preacher Arrested For Inciting People To Attend His Church

    Occidental Dissent - May 9th 2021 12:07am EDT

    This actually just happened in Canada. It is May and the vaccine is rolling out. And yet, they are doing this anyway. Calgary Herald: “Calgary police have arrested street preacher Artur Pawlowski after he failed to abide by public health orders again during a Saturday church service during which dozens were congregating without masks, with […]

  • Bill Maher: Sex, Drugs & GOP

    Occidental Dissent - May 8th 2021 7:43pm EDT

    Bill Maher has a point. It was never as bad though in the days of the Moral Majority. Jerry Falwell had Liberty University. Woke supremacy has Harvard and Woke Capital.

  • MSNBC: Political Fringe Looks To Take Over The Party Of Eisenhower

    Occidental Dissent - May 8th 2021 6:36pm EDT

    Presidential historian John Meacham has a poor read of American history. America’s political parties, political coalitions and governing ideologies have always had a shelf life. The implosion of mainstream conservatism and mainstream liberalism was actually long overdue and inevitable. We’re simply going through another transition between party systems. The political establishment has always responded like […]

  • Jimmy Dore: Why Is The U.S. Coast Guard Operating In The Persian Gulf?

    Occidental Dissent - May 8th 2021 3:45pm EDT

    Good question. Does anyone know the answer to this?

  • Liberal Larry: Happy Birthing Person’s Day! It’s This Sunday!

    Occidental Dissent - May 8th 2021 2:25pm EDT

    I forgot one. Progress is also getting rid of Mother’s Day. Birth Person’s Day is more inclusive. Note: Columbus Day is Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Next month is also PRIDE Month.

  • How Labour Lost The Working Class

    Occidental Dissent - May 8th 2021 1:52pm EDT

    I’m experiencing déjà vu. It is almost like we are talking about the same class of people who have taken over the Democratic Party in this country and who are steadily transforming into what used to be the old Republican Party. Alexei Arora: “As council elections take place in the UK, one by-election in a […]

  • Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Slams Portland For Their Handling of Riots

    Occidental Dissent - May 8th 2021 12:17pm EDT

    What do you think of Ron DeSantis? I started off with a strongly negative view of him. In 2019, DeSantis was known for doing things like replacing Confederate monuments with civil rights activists, pledging to give “no quarter” to anti-Semitism and traveling to Jerusalem to sign an anti-Semitism bill in a session of the Florida […]

  • State Department: United States Joins Christchurch Call to Action to Eliminate Terrorist and Violent Extremist Content Online

    Occidental Dissent - May 8th 2021 11:48am EDT

    This is a huge relief. The Biden administration is endorsing the “Christchurch Call to Action to Eliminate Terrorist and Violent Extremist Content Online,” however, it also remains committed to “freedom of expression” and “freedoms of speech and association protected by the First Amendment” and “people’s reasonable expectations of privacy” and opposes restrictions on “the freedoms […]

  • Tucker Carlson: The Inflation Threat

    Occidental Dissent - May 8th 2021 11:08am EDT

    I was going to write something about Joe’s Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen waving away concerns about rising inflation yesterday, but Tucker Carlson’s monologue last night was about the weird things going on in the economy.

  • Department of Social Justice Brings Federal Criminal Charges Against Derek Chauvin and Three Other Cops

    Occidental Dissent - May 8th 2021 10:22am EDT

    Welcome to the new progressive era. Among other things, the definition of progress is erasing our national borders, abolishing the police, censoring the internet, dismantling the gender binary, teaching White children to hate themselves and their country in public schools and redefining equal justice as social justice. The way this works is that the media […]

  • David French: Liz Cheney Is Too Honest For The GOP

    Occidental Dissent - May 7th 2021 3:31pm EDT

    Critical pt: “We can’t properly diagnose what ails Rs unless we’re honest about the composition of the GOP. At the grassroots, radicals run the ship, and until there’s a change of heart… the timid GOP Congress might be the best case scenario”https://t.co/426laPVLs5 — Josh Kraushaar (@HotlineJosh) May 7, 2021 If you have forgotten how awful […]

  • Joe Biden Speaks After Disappointing April Jobs Report

    Occidental Dissent - May 7th 2021 2:44pm EDT

    Unlike a lot pundits, I wasn’t willing to pop the champagne and assume that the economy would be roaring a year from now. In my experience, few things are more unreliable than the predictions of economists. Axios: “The U.S. economy added a mere 266,000 jobs last month. Forecasters had floated gains close to 1 million, […]

  • Rep. Cori Bush Turns Heads By Referring To “Black Birthing People”

    Occidental Dissent - May 7th 2021 2:16pm EDT

    Every day, Black birthing people and our babies die because our doctors don’t believe our pain. My children almost became a statistic. I almost became a statistic. I testified about my experience @OversightDems today. Hear us. Believe us. Because for so long, nobody has. pic.twitter.com/rExrMXzsSQ — Congresswoman Cori Bush (@RepCori) May 6, 2021 When James […]

  • Hillary Clinton: “There Has To Be a Global Reckoning With Disinformation”

    Occidental Dissent - May 7th 2021 1:38pm EDT

    Democracy itself is on the line here. If ordinary people are allowed to use the internet to generate their own content, critique and ridicule the political establishment, talk to each other, fundraise, network, organize, build a consensus and even vote without the supervision of corporate moderators and “domestic extremism” hall monitors to control and curate […]

  • Rising: Brian Stelter’s Ratings Drop To New Low

    Occidental Dissent - May 7th 2021 12:48pm EDT

    The only people who are watching this garbage are PMCs and without Trump around even they are getting bored with the stale content. How many segments can you do about Liz Cheney? FOX News: “CNN’s struggling media program “Reliable Sources” with Brian Stelter hit another low on Sunday with its smallest audience of 2021 as the liberal program has […]
