MSNBC: The Violent Conspiracy Theory That’s Driving The GOP
Occidental Dissent - Apr 12th 2022 12:05pm EDTIn France, a recent poll showed that 60 percent of the French now believe in the Great Replacement. 67 percent are worried it is either happening or will occur. Éric Zemmour just ran for president on saving France from the Great Replacement and the center-right just collapsed there. I can’t find the poll now, but […]
Washington Post: Selma Is Tired of Being Just a Symbol
Occidental Dissent - Apr 11th 2022 1:37pm EDT“All this city got is history. If this bridge wasn’t here, it would just be another f—-d-up place nobody would visit.” – Arsenio Gardner, Selma resident It is that time a year again Oh wait … it turns out that this year the empty ritual of the annual march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in […]
Jon Leibowitz: The Problem With White People
Occidental Dissent - Apr 2nd 2022 12:44pm EDTAre you willing to fight Russia in World War III for the political establishment? Let me think about it. That’s an easy one. No, I would much rather fight these people who are the real enemy. They are the problem, not Russia or China. They are our adversary.
Axios: Senate Passes Anti-Lynching Bill By Unanimous Consent
Occidental Dissent - Mar 8th 2022 9:17am ESTI’m increasingly convinced that it doesn’t matter who controls the Senate because all we can expect from Republican senators is passing absurd holidays like Juneteenth or passing an anti-lynching bill or pet projects like criminal justice reform or inciting World War III with Russia. Axios: “The Senate voted by unanimous consent on Monday to pass […]
Joe Biden Picks Ketanji Brown Jackson For Supreme Court
Occidental Dissent - Feb 25th 2022 11:09am ESTThe only thing that mattered is that she is a black woman. This alone qualified her to sit on the Supreme Court. There is nothing else to say about her nomination.
Poll Watch: Joe Biden Sags With Black Voters
Occidental Dissent - Feb 20th 2022 3:14pm ESTGoing woke. Going broke. Democrats need to keep on winning the black vote by their usual 9-to-1 margin. Embracing super wokeness and fearmongering about Jim Eagle has Joe Biden at 66% with Blacks. CBS News: Note: How much of a price did Democrats pay for this with White rural voters? Seems like a lousy bet […]

Philadelphia Inquirer: Black City, White Paper
Occidental Dissent - Feb 20th 2022 11:43am ESTWhat is the brand of the Democratic Party? How is the Democratic Party perceived outside the Acela Corridor? Philadelphia Inquirer: “CASSIE HAYNES STARTED the morning of June 2, 2020, as she does most mornings, with a copy of her hometown newspaper, The Philadelphia Inquirer. What she read that day horrified and enraged her. For weeks, […]
Washington Post : A Century Ago, Mississippi Senate Voted To Send All Black People There To Africa
Occidental Dissent - Feb 19th 2022 4:51pm ESTThink about it. If this had happened, Black people would be living in Wakanda right now. Instead, their descendants are living under systematic racism, white supremacy and Jim Eagle in Georgia. Washington Post: “One hundred years ago, the Mississippi state Senate voted to evict the state’s Black residents — the majority of its total population […]
Matt Bai’s Reactionary Centrism
Occidental Dissent - Feb 18th 2022 11:16am ESTI thought it was a good article. Matt Bai is a PMC and a liberal, but he isn’t a woke progressive. He isn’t comfortable with the fanatics who have seized control of the Democratic Party. There are a lot of deeply closeted people out there like Bai who have been alienated by the triumph of […]
DCCC: GOP Culture War Attacks “Alarmingly Potent”
Occidental Dissent - Feb 16th 2022 10:26am ESTThis is the first election cycle in which the GOP quit worrying about being called “racist” by “journalists” and started framing Democrats as anti-White. It is working for them. Politico: “Democrats’ own research shows that some battleground voters think the party is “preachy,” “judgmental” and “focused on culture wars,” according to documents obtained by POLITICO. […]
Breaking Points: AOC Warns About Return Of Jim Crow
Occidental Dissent - Feb 15th 2022 12:14pm ESTGeorgia is already a Jim Eagle state. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema sided with George Wallace, Bull Connor and Jefferson Davis when they killed the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. The Guardian: “The progressive New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez believes the Republican-led pressure on political systems is so great that there is “a very real risk” […]

Greg Gutfeld: NPR’s Emoji Issue
Occidental Dissent - Feb 11th 2022 11:00am ESTIt has gotten to the point where I am laughing at Greg Gutfeld’s content. I had the same realization yesterday. As a White male, have I offended any BIPOC people by using the yellow thumbs up emoji?
NPR: What Skin Color Emoji Should You Use?
Occidental Dissent - Feb 10th 2022 3:10pm ESTSome white people may choose ? because it feels neutral — but some academics argue opting out of ?? signals a lack of awareness about white privilege, akin to society associating whiteness with being raceless.https://t.co/9g3rochT0K — NPR (@NPR) February 9, 2022 I didn’t know there were skin color emojis!
Washington Post: The Fight Isn’t Over Whether America Will Be a Democracy, But What Kind of Democracy
Occidental Dissent - Feb 10th 2022 10:26am ESTThe banner is a little edgier than usual this morning. I thought it was an amusing way of illustrating though what we think the modern Democratic Party is all about. Woke progressivism has become the governing ideology of the new Democratic Party. The central truth of woke progressivism is that Black people (now capitalized) ought […]
Chris Hayes: The Mississippi Way
Occidental Dissent - Feb 4th 2022 9:52am ESTI watched this clip several times last night. As far as I can tell, there are three points of views here: 1. Sen. Roger Wicker thinks it is ironic that Joe Biden is appointing a black woman to the Supreme Court since affirmative action is on the chopping block again at the Supreme Court and […]
Tucker Carlson: “Our Democracy” Is In Peril
Occidental Dissent - Feb 1st 2022 10:03pm ESTWe covered all of this ground years ago. It is heartening to see though that the normies are ready for it.
Jim Clyburn: It Is Time For Democrats To Come Together Behind Michelle Childs
Occidental Dissent - Jan 31st 2022 3:35pm ESTJim Clyburn is pushing for Michelle Childs as Supreme Court pick – and so is Lindsey Graham. But her track record of opposing workers in cases of alleged discrimination would undermine the message Biden is trying to convey. The latest from @alex_sammon: https://t.co/pm3CnxBEum — The American Prospect (@TheProspect) January 31, 2022 Jim Clyburn delivered the […]
His Name Was Thomas Hand Jr.
Occidental Dissent - Jan 31st 2022 10:09am ESTI don’t like to dwell on the black-on-white crime stories. These things are always happening. It always puts me in a foul mood whenever I read about them and write about them. I would rather analyze polls and make fun of “journalists.” We’re in the middle of a historic surge of violent crime though in […]
Lady G Takes Knee On SCOTUS Pick
Occidental Dissent - Jan 30th 2022 7:14pm ESTI’m guessing this is the reasoning: 1. Manchin and Sinema have voted for all of Joe Biden’s other judicial appointments. 2. Joe Biden has the votes for his nominee. 3. Democrats are itching for a fight to change the narrative and reignite their base. 4. Biden’s abysmal approval rating with black voters dooms Democrats in […]
Poll Watch: Joe Biden’s Vow To Nominate a Black Woman To Supreme Court Is Deeply Unpopular
Occidental Dissent - Jan 30th 2022 2:13pm ESTThe public strongly disagrees with Elie Mystal on this. No one should be disqualified from consideration on the basis of Wokeism. ABC News: “During the spring 2020 presidential primaries, days before his set of big wins on Super Tuesday, Biden pledged to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court, if elected. Now, with […]
Elie Mystal: I’m For Everybody Black
Occidental Dissent - Jan 29th 2022 9:06pm ESTElie Mystal is a national treasure. The only thing that matters to him is that Joe Biden is nominating a black woman to the Supreme Court. Race is everything in his worldview. It is all he ever talks about. Note: It would never occur to me to support Joe Biden simply because he is a […]
Based Black Man Turns On Joe Biden
Occidental Dissent - Jan 29th 2022 4:46pm ESTLMAO. If the polls are to be believed, 36% of blacks in Georgia disapprove of Joe Biden. 19% strongly disapprove of his job performance. Chuck Todd and Steve Kornacki have both recently highlighted the fact that Joe Biden seems to have slipped with a big swath of the black population. Who are these blacks? Why […]
Tim Pool: The GOP Fears Being Called Racist
Occidental Dissent - Jan 29th 2022 11:35am ESTTim Pool, the Boomer Whisperer, is correct about this. The GOP acts like the “mainstream media” still exists. They act like their voters care about the norms. They act like “journalists” are still taken seriously by their base. It is a reflexive reaction to punches that may have landed thirty years ago. Joe Biden went […]
