  • Joe Biden Signs 17 Executive Orders and Directives

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 20th 2021 7:59pm EST

    The Joe Biden era has officially begun. 81 million Americans voted for Not Trump in the 2020 election, but Donald Trump has been vanquished and now we are left with President Biden and his agenda. What is that agenda? Let’s run through the list of executive orders and directives that Joe Biden signed this evening. […]

  • Joe Biden’s Inaugural Address

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 20th 2021 12:49pm EST

    I was willing to give Joe Biden a chance. After four years of the Trump Show, I was determined to keep an open mind and hear the man out, but my expectations were always low. Joe Biden has always been a corporate neoliberal Democrat. There was a small chance that he would govern as a […]

  • Joe Biden’s Top Priorities

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 18th 2021 11:56am EST

    The overwhelming majority of the American people continue to say in the polls that they want Joe Biden to focus on containing the spread of COVID-19, distributing the vaccine as soon as possible, passing a more substantial COVID relief package and rebuilding the economy. They are also scared and angry and worried about polarization and […]

  • Liberal Larry: Time To Celebrate! Communism Is Coming! Unity For All!

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 17th 2021 9:44pm EST

    Is Liberal Larry capable of moving on? Are we going to continue the Trump Show with another impeachment trial? Will the Democrats spend their political capital on open borders, amnesty and censorship?

  • Prospect: Can Biden Govern As a Progressive Populist?

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 16th 2020 2:00pm EST

    I highly doubt it. It would certainly be nice though. I’m keeping an open mind. We will see how it goes. Prospect: “Trump and the Tea Partiers before him made gains with ordinary Americans because a corporatized Democratic Party stopped delivering for them. This was especially true in rural and small metro areas that were […]

  • Conservative Supreme Cout Rejects Bathroom Policy Appeal

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 7th 2020 7:39pm EST

    As I said before the 2020 election, the Center Right is worthless on social identity issues and has a flawless track record of conserving nothing of value. NBC News: “The Supreme Court declined Monday to take up an appeal from Oregon parents who want transgender students in their school district to use locker rooms and […]

  • Conservative Supreme Court Rejects Bathroom Policy Appeal

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 7th 2020 7:39pm EST

    I’ve been laughing at the different contortions the supermajority conservative SCOTUS will have to go through to uphold the left-liberal status quo without pissing off voters and various scams like Federalist Society.Big business always wins. 1st, 2nd Amendment? They will punt. https://t.co/M7C5UqQwbs— Striker (@Striker05381540) December 7, 2020 New on National Justice: Supreme Court has refused […]

  • Transgenderism’s Romantic Roots

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 2nd 2020 6:40pm EST

    I’m genuinely interested in this stuff. The finding “my authentic self” bit is pure Modernism. New York Times: “Elliot Page, the Oscar-nominated star of “Juno,” announced on Tuesday that he is transgender. “Hi friends, I want to share with you that I am trans, my pronouns are he/they and my name is Elliot,” Page, who as Ellen […]

  • Blue Virginia: We Win “Populism” Or We Lose Everything

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 1st 2020 3:03pm EST

    I basically agree. Donald Trump lost the 2020 election because he was pulled too far to the Right on economics and health by conservatives and Republicans. Independent voters fired him. Blue Virginia: “Honestly, Donald Trump could have come out and said he wanted to nationalize the means of production to protect the proletariat from the […]

  • Michael Brendan Dougherty: Why Identity-Politics Pushers Are Winning the Culture Wars

    Occidental Dissent - Nov 30th 2020 10:34am EST

    This is a good question. I spent several months before the 2020 election answering it. National Review: “There is a question that bothers many political conservatives today. It bothers us so much that the progressives and reactionaries take great delight in making us wince by asking it again and again, in their gloating and glowering […]

  • Avoid The Dissident Right

    Occidental Dissent - Nov 18th 2020 12:33pm EST

    I finally understand these people. Allow me to explain why I disagree with them. If you look at the political science on who is actually pro-White in America, it is negatively correlated with income and financial stability. There are pro-White Democrats, Independents and Republicans because the “White positive sphere” is closer to the Center of […]

  • Christianity and Youth Rebellion In The 1920s

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 27th 2020 12:11pm EDT

    Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. We’re continuing to explore the Victorian-to-Modern transition in America which as we have seen began in the 1910s and accelerated in the 1920s. In previous articles, I have explained at length how at the end of Victorian era there was a consensus in America on national identity, […]

  • Jews and Early American Modernism

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 19th 2020 6:13pm EDT

    In the crossover in the Liberal Club between Greenwich Village and the Lower East Side in New York in the 1910s, we’re looking at the embryo of the Modern mainstream. Specifically, we are looking at Jewish radicals from the Lower East Side like Emma Goldman, the alienated Anglos from the Midwest like Floyd Dell, Sinclair […]

  • Inventing Tomorrow: H.G. Wells, Modernism and the Future

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 16th 2020 3:35pm EDT

    The Young Intellectuals created modern liberalism. Who was the biggest influence on the Young Intellectuals though? H.G. Wells wrote over 100 novels, sold millions of copies and was the most influential author in the English language of the early 20th century. Along with Jules Verne, Wells was the father of modern science fiction. He was […]

  • Review: The End of American Innocence, 1912-1917

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 15th 2020 1:12pm EDT

    Henry F. May, The End of American Innocence, 1912-1917 When did our own times begin? Culturally speaking, when did Victorian 19th century America become Modern 20th century America? Why did this happen? How did this happen? What changed? In The End of American Innocence, 1912-1917, Henry F. May argues that the transition began in New […]

  • H.L. Mencken, Nietzsche and the Death of the Victorian Mainstream

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 12th 2020 9:55am EDT

    Why should anyone bother studying this? What relevance does it have to our own times? I would respond by saying it is worth knowing when, why and how our own age began and when, why and how the old mainstream crumbled. The following excerpt comes from Henry F. May’s book The End of American Innocence, […]

  • Practical Applications

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 6th 2020 6:28pm EDT

    Is there any practical benefit to studying all of this and tracing its history aside from satisfying my own morbid curiosity about the origins and causes of our decline? Let all of this soak in: So my brother @RickyRebelRocks ???????? Adore ?????#Repost @brokebackUSA ???BLM held a “peaceful protest” in Beverly Hills so @rickyrebelrocks showed up […]

  • The Origins of the Modern Left

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 6th 2020 2:24pm EDT

    What is the “mainstream”? Where did the modern Left come from? In The Birth of the Mainstream and The Death of the Victorian Mainstream, I began to pinpoint its emergence in the years around World War I. It was the moment in time when the Romantic or Victorian sensibility that dominated the 19th century – […]

  • Design Mom: Trump Supporters Make Me Sick To My Stomach

    Occidental Dissent - Aug 31st 2020 11:18pm EDT

    Design Mom is an excellent illustration of the sort of totalitarian mindset that you get when you fuse progressive liberalism with modernism. TAC: “The other day I saw a tweet where a person described that when they find out someone they know personally supports Trump, they lose all respect for them instantly. I liked the […]
