  • Insurrectionists Resume Attacks On Portland Federal Courthouse

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 12th 2021 8:54pm EST

    Look at ’em go! The brats are the literal embodiment of white privilege. Have you ever wondered how they manage to get away with this? If you went out and did something this, could you get away with it? Would your mom come out and support you engaging in criminal activity? Note: If they continue […]

  • President Biden Addresses The Nation

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 11th 2021 8:40pm EST

    I thought it was a great speech. Why couldn’t Donald Trump do that? There was nothing unreasonable in the speech. Joe asked people to wear masks as a courtesy and said he was making good on his promise to get the vaccine out to elderly people who are the most at risk. He took credit […]

  • President Biden Signs The American Rescue Plan

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 11th 2021 3:18pm EST

    This is Joe’s moment. It is the culmination of 50 years in public life. This is the highwater mark and the peak of his political life when he does this one thing for us and signs a bill that pretty much everyone supports. Sure, it is probably all down hill from here after we receive […]

  • The Establishment Plot To Destroy Bernie Sanders

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 10th 2021 7:20pm EST

    Interesting. The “Solid Liberals” or Democratic Independent Liberal Elites (DILEs) or Professional Bourgeoisie or Democratic establishment preferred to lose to the “fascist” Trump in the 2020 election rather than lose to Bernie Sanders. Trump voters succeeded in toppling the True Cons or the Republican establishment voters. They are now in the process of consolidating power […]

  • Jimmy Dore Responds To The Daily Beast Hit Piece

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 10th 2021 5:32pm EST

    Alexander Reid Ross is an “anarchist” and “anti-fascist” who works for some Soros and Koch funded astroturf operation called the “National Contagion Research Institute.” Note: Obviously, I largely agree with people like Jimmy Dore, Michael Tracey and Tulsi on economics and foreign policy because I have always been a populist voter. Hence, the “far right” […]

  • Bari Weiss: The Miseducation of America’s Elites

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 10th 2021 4:08pm EST

    Everyone hates these people. The polls don’t reflect the true level of brewing resentment because college educated White professionals lie about their true beliefs. No one has been driven further underground, feels more marginalized and more deeply resents the yoke of political correctness or wokeness than those who operate inside these institutions which are now […]

  • House Passes The PRO Act

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 10th 2021 2:48pm EST

    What do you think? This isn’t going anywhere because the “party of the working class” will unanimously oppose it like the $15 minimum wage or the $1,400 stimulus checks in the Senate. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce opposes the bill and elected Republicans out of instinct or habit or both seem to defer to the […]

  • David Shor on Why “Latinx” Men Shifted Right

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 10th 2021 1:16pm EST

    Almost NOTHING upsets me as much as watching 6 NON Hispanic/Latino people talking about a #LatinoVote autopsy on national TV!

  • Democrats Are Anxious About 2022 and 2024

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 10th 2021 10:07am EST

    Between 2016 and 2020, Democrats saw a 43% decline in their support from conservative Hispanics. Trump also narrowed the gap among moderate and liberal Hispanics. https://t.co/WAHpweEKs4 — Ryan James Girdusky (@RyanGirdusky) March 10, 2021 The Democrats are worried. The status quo has been extreme polarization and gridlock. White libs have been the dominant force in […]

  • House Holds Hearing On Media Disinformation

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 24th 2021 7:33pm EST

    Why shouldn’t social media be censored? Why shouldn’t a political litmus test be imposed on the military? Why shouldn’t the federal government launch a domestic “War on Terror”? Why shouldn’t FOX News, OANN and Newsmax be deplatformed by cable companies? Note: BTW, Blumpf was the “fascist.”

  • CBS News: Memes Are Dangerous Vehicles Of Misinformation

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 24th 2021 7:04pm EST

    The comedy industry is also a “pipeline” to “far-right extremism.”

  • Politico: Pentagon Wades Into Political Minefield In Hunt For “Extremists”

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 24th 2021 11:21am EST

    This is exactly what the professional class has done. They’ve transformed the U.S. military into a petri dish for exotic social experiments in wokeness, transgenderism and rooting out “right-wing extremism” which as America’s geopolitical rivals well know is defined as anyone who resents and objects to this absurd ideology. Politico: “The Pentagon is launching an […]

  • The PMC Problem In Left-Leaning Media

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 22nd 2021 10:20am EST

    Have you ever wondered who is watching this shit on CNN and MSNBC? Who is losing their minds about “white supremacy”? Journalism.org: “There is little difference among Republicans in educational attainment across these news consumption groupings. That is not the case, however, among Democrats. Democrats who consistently used only news outlets with left-leaning audiences to […]

  • What Went Wrong For Democrats?

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 20th 2021 2:48pm EST

    I was dialed out of politics in 2020. From my perspective, the Democrats were running on toppling statues, censorship, Antifa and Black Lives Matter burning down cities, “Abolish ICE,” “Defund the Police,” systematic racism, open borders, trans issues, etc. The White upper middle class progressive wing of the party was losing its mind. I figured […]

  • White Woman Resigns In Protest From Smith College After Suffering Horrific Racial Abuse

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 19th 2021 7:47pm EST

    H/T Rod Dreher I’m boosting this. “Dear President McCartney: I am writing to notify you that effective today, I am resigning from my position as Student Support Coordinator in the Department of Residence Life at Smith College. This has not been an easy decision, as I now face a deeply uncertain future. As a divorced […]

  • Neoliberal Joe: America First Is Over

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 19th 2021 5:29pm EST

    Neoliberal Joe is an imperialist. The American Empire is back. Those troop withdrawals from Syria, Afghanistan and Germany ain’t happening. We’re committed to staying engaged there forever. New York Times: “For anyone looking for evidence that boasts about “America First” — and the need for America to go-it-alone — are over, President Biden’s speech to […]

  • Neoliberal Joe Shoots Down $50,000 In Student Loan Forgiveness

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 16th 2021 10:40pm EST

    BIG DEAL“I will not make that happen,” Biden said when asked whether he will cancel $50,000 in student loan debt, which his own Democratic colleagues have been pressuring him to do. https://t.co/OYar3Hp57z— Lauren Camera (@laurenonthehill) February 17, 2021 I’m not surprised. Business Insider: “President Joe Biden effectively rejected a Democratic plan put forward by Sens. […]

  • The Brats Are Coming

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 15th 2021 1:09pm EST

    We’re counting on them. They are highly skilled in the arts of aggravating, alienating and tormenting everyone around them, talking about themselves and virtue signaling on social media. We’re going to paint a gigantic political bullseye on them. Nothing is more unifying than shared hatred of these people. New York Times: “What happened in Peru, […]

  • Arrogant Coastal Elites Have Lost Their Power To Define The “Mainstream”

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 15th 2021 12:23am EST

    New: by rejecting consequences for Trump for the #CapitolRiots & welcoming #MarjorieTaylorGreene into their caucus Congressional Rs are crystalizing an ominous question: Has the extremist wing of the GOP coalition grown too big for the party to confront?https://t.co/JyATDSSXsc— Ronald Brownstein (@RonBrownstein) February 14, 2021 “Ah, my friends, we say not one word against those who […]

  • Rolling Stone: Meet The Undercover Anti-Fascists

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 14th 2021 7:39pm EST

    You’re a survivor. America survived Ricky Vaughn’s memes and Baked Alaska’s attack on democracy. The healing can begin now. We’ve spent the last four years living through literal “fascism.” We barely survived the blowhard who sat in the White House for four years tweeting about how unfairly he was being treated by the media while […]

  • Ezra Klein: California Is Making Liberals Squirm

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 12th 2021 12:14pm EST

    I’ve never been to California. I have no plans of going anytime soon. I imagine it being like a Third World country ruled by awful people without any of the upsides of living in Alabama or Mississippi. New York Times: “You may have heard that San Francisco’s Board of Education voted 6 to 1 to […]
