  • Jimmy Dore: YouTube CEO Admits Suppressing Independent News

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 24th 2021 8:13pm EDT

    YouTube has become TheyTube. We’re the ones who are spreading “misinformation.”

  • Alabama Bans “Trans Women” In Women’s Sports

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 24th 2021 6:54pm EDT

    Heather Swanson won’t be able to compete in Alabama. Newsweek: “Republican Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed a bill Friday that will ban transgender athletes from competing in public school sports under the team matching their gender identities. Meanwhile, other states have begun meeting opposition from Democratic governors and legislators. …”

  • Newsweek: Antifa Vow To Continue Engaging In Violence

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 24th 2021 3:51pm EDT

    Antifa 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. The Biden administration is giving Black Lives Matter and Antifa a free hand to engage in all the violence that they want. Newsweek: “Anti-fascist—or […]

  • Jimmy Dore: MSNBC Contributor Goes Off The Rails

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 24th 2021 3:32pm EDT

    I’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 EDT

    Wokal 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? […]

  • TAC: Trump’s Hispanic Bump

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 24th 2021 2:14pm EDT

    Editor’s Note: I’m currently on the road and traveling with the family for the next two days. I can’t do much but share some links with my smartphone. TAC: “There’s no political question as consistently in vogue among a certain class of conservative intellectuals as “Why aren’t Hispanics more conservative?” The perennial springs up every […]

  • Snitch Culture: Capitol Stormer Turned In By Bumble Match

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 23rd 2021 10:03pm EDT

    We now live in East Germany. This is what a real totalitarian police state looks like. It is not Donald Trump owning the libs on Twitter or people sharing memes and having a good time on image boards. We’re training people to be spies and hall monitors for the surveillance state and have created a […]

  • Snitch Culture: Capitol Stormer Turned Over To Feds By Bumble Match

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 23rd 2021 10:03pm EDT

    We now live in East Germany. This is what a real totalitarian police state looks like. It isn’t Donald Trump owning the libs on Twitter or people sharing edgy memes and having a good time on image boards. We’re training people to be spies and hall monitors for the surveillance state and have created a […]

  • Antony Blinken Authorizes U.S. Embassies To Fly The LGBTQ Flag

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 23rd 2021 7:41pm EDT

    In my view, the Biden administration should just fly the Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ flags. It would be a more accurate reflection of the true beliefs and values of the political establishment. It is not like these people represent or even like the whole country. New York Post: “Secretary of State Tony Blinken has […]

  • Trans Billionaire Threatens To Leave Tennessee Over LBGTQ Laws

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 23rd 2021 5:51pm EDT

    The Tennessee state legislature better fall in line now like Gov. Kristi Noem in South Dakota, Gov. Asa Hutchinson in Arkansas, Gov. Doug Burgum in North Dakota, the Florida Senate and the Texas state legislature. It is clear who makes the laws now and it ISN’T the voters anymore. Star Observer: “The world’s first trans […]

  • Joe Biden Isn’t Really Ending The War In Afghanistan

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 23rd 2021 2:50pm EDT

    We’re rearranging troop deployments again. Breitbart: “The chief of the Pentagon’s Central Command said on Tuesday the U.S. military may keep troops near Afghanistan after the delayed withdrawal planned for September 11, 2021. … “It’s time for American troops to come home,” Biden declared. McKenzie’s remarks suggested that the American troops may not be returning home, but relocating […]

  • INSURRECTION! Black Lives Matter Storms Oklahoma State Capitol

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 23rd 2021 2:26pm EDT

    This is the scene in the OK House chamber. #okleg pic.twitter.com/7bQYGbjqxq — Tyler Talley (@tylertalley22) April 21, 2021 I’m experiencing déjà vu. Black Lives Matter stormed the Iowa State Capitol two weeks ago. The insurrection in Iowa was greeted with total silence by the corporate media. PMC TV isn’t covering this one either. FOX News: […]

  • Rising: Inside The Democrat Plan To Give Massive Tax Cut To The Rich

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 23rd 2021 1:23pm EDT

    I’m too populist and nationalist to be a Republican: I hate globalization for undermining the American worker. I agree that having all of these ultra billionaires is a massive problem. I think we should be taking a sledgehammer to Big Tech monopolies. I think we should be raising taxes on Wall Street and Corporate America. […]

  • Greta Thunberg: Why We Need To Act Now To Stop Climate Change

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 23rd 2021 12:46pm EDT

    Europe’s biggest self-righteous, virtue signaling brat joined Trevor Noah on The Daily Show last night. Greta Thunberg traveled to the United States on a zero carbon emissions boat to lecture Joe Biden about climate change on Earth Day. Biden’s goal of cutting carbon admissions by 50% by 2030 which CNN compared to doing 190 moonshots […]

  • Ibram X. Kendi Is The New Jim Jones

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 23rd 2021 12:13pm EDT

    Discuss. Does Ibram X. Kendi remind you of a more successful Jim Jones? Joe Biden and the entire political establishment has come under the spell of this crackpot. They’ve all adopted his lingo and doctrines. Note: Rasputin and the Russian imperial court also comes to mind.

  • David Brooks: The GOP Is Getting Worse

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 23rd 2021 10:32am EDT

    The “far right” always wanted the normie to wake up. There are countless radicals who became frustrated and who gave up when the normie didn’t wake up on their schedule. This includes an entire branch of the White Nationalist movement which ideologically convinced itself that White people were hopelessly apathetic and would never wake up. […]

  • Tucker Carlson: “Let The Kids Knife Fight”

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 23rd 2021 12:07am EDT

    Editor’s Note: I’m going to be on the road for the next few days which means there will probably be fewer posts through Monday. It is difficult to keep up with the corporate media. “Journalists” are constantly shifting the spotlight from one police shooting to the next to feed the narrative with fresh new bodies. […]

  • Vladimir Putin Warns Joe Biden Not To Cross His Red Line

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 22nd 2021 9:47pm EDT

    What do you think of this? I’m grateful that Lloyd Austin is our Secretary of Defense. He has already said this isn’t our problem. We’re going to let our “trans girls” step up and handle this one. Equity means that BIPOC people will now have to do their fair share of the fighting and dying […]

  • Jimmy Dore: Dr. Fauci Confronted Over His Multiple Lies

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 22nd 2021 7:04pm EDT

    It is funny watching Fauci starting to take heat from the Left. Shouldn’t people be allowed to move on with their lives after getting vaccinated? What else can you really do? The COVID-19 pandemic played out almost entirely at the state level. It was state and local officials who were in charge of everything. Virtually […]

  • USA Today: “The Normalization of Hate”

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 22nd 2021 5:23pm EDT

    This article pretty much sums up the broad outlines of new impending crisis between populist nationalism and woke progressivism and why the two are on a collision course. We’ve reached the point where celebrating “uniquely Anglo-Saxon traditions” and “European architecture” is considered “hate” and “racism.” Clearly, the celebration of ANYTHING about America that is White […]

  • MILO Wants To “Make America Hate Again” After Breaking Up With His Black Husband

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 22nd 2021 4:08pm EDT

    All you can really do is laugh at this. How on earth did we ever become associated with people like MILO or his British counterpart Caolan Robertson who was recently featured in the New York Times? What did we ever have in common with these people? Who are all of these professional ex-Alt-Right grifters? I’ve […]

  • Republicans Kill Transgender Sports Bills

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 22nd 2021 3:25pm EDT

    Kristi Noem and Asa Hutchinson got killed for this on the Right. National Review: “A proposed bill to bar transgender athletes from female sports, dubbed the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act, appears to have been abandoned in the Florida state Senate. The Florida House voted to pass its version of the transgender sports ban, House Bill 1475, on […]

  • House Passes DC Statehood Bill

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 22nd 2021 12:54pm EDT

    The PMCs who are gentrifying Washington, DC want to be their own state now. They believe that they are entitled to at least two U.S. senators and the right to control our elections. FOX News: “The divided House Thursday passed legislation to make Washington, D.C. the 51st state and to grant its more than 700,000 residents full representation in Congress. […]

  • Stephen Colbert: Feds Scan Instagram To Catch Grey Hat Wearing “Insurrectionist”

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 22nd 2021 12:10pm EDT

    It might seem weird to see Jacobin content on a “far right” website. In recent years though, it has dawned on me that the socialists have a point about class conflict because it has becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. These people are TRYING to stir up racial conflict. There is a lot of truth in […]

  • Jacobin: Identity Politics In Our Gilded Age w/ Matt Karp

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 22nd 2021 9:50am EDT

    I largely agree with Matt Karp. I’ve noticed on my end that the political establishment has become more obsessed with race and more interested in fomenting racial conflict than even the most race-obsessed White Nationalists. The trend is interpreting everything that happens in the world through the lens of critical social justice. This has become […]
