  • A Warning From Yugoslavia

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 19th 2020 3:52pm EDT

    Interesting …

  • A Blundering Generation

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 19th 2020 2:03pm EDT

    The Blundering Generation is on my mind for a reason: Banning the Confederate flag from military installations was long overdue. Banning the LGBTQ Pride flag — the very symbol of diversity and inclusion — is undeniably wrong. The Pentagon should ensure it is authorized, or as President, I will. https://t.co/rvA4F2YcPS— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) July 19, […]

  • The Needless War

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 19th 2020 1:02pm EDT

    As I read Peter Turchin’s book Ages of Discord and follow current events, it couldn’t be more clear to me that Avery Craven and James G. Randall were correct in their interpretation of the War Between the States. More recently, David Goldfield has resurrected the Blundering Generation thesis. Slavery was not the cause of the […]

  • Anarchy, Plus a Street Constable

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 18th 2020 4:56pm EDT

    These scenes of chaos coming out of Portland continue to bring to mind Thomas Carlyle’s famous quip about the future of America: “Anarchy, plus a street constable”: that is also anarchic to me, and other than quite lovely! I foresee, too, that, long before the waste lands are full, the very street-constable, on these poor […]

  • “Civil Rights Icon” John Lewis Is Finally Dead

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 18th 2020 3:44pm EDT

    A giant. A legendary leader. A civil rights icon. A human saint. Here’s how friends, colleagues and admirers are remembering John Lewis, who died on Friday at 80. https://t.co/TqYSgLL5ex pic.twitter.com/RJYsWeM6ZR— The New York Times (@nytimes) July 18, 2020 We are made in the image of God, and then there is John Lewis. He was truly […]

  • Today’s Absurdities

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 17th 2020 10:19pm EDT

    Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. Andrew Sullivan: Dishness lives. All we’re waiting for is you.https://t.co/X02Q5258iA— Andrew Sullivan (@sullydish) July 17, 2020 Not even the faggots safe! I’m joking, of course, that the mob of woke bigots who ran Andrew Sullivan out of town work for New York Magazine and Vox Media. Decolonizing […]

  • The Double Horseshoe Theory of Class Politics

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 17th 2020 8:46pm EDT

    This is simply a great thought-provoking article by Michael Lind. It explains why a lot of people flipped out when I supported Universal Basic Income The Bellows: “While the professional bourgeoisie, based in the public sector, universities and nonprofits, is the social base of progressivism, the social base of conservatism is the small business bourgeoisie, […]

  • Why The Conservative Party Conserves Nothing

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 17th 2020 7:03pm EDT

    Conservative liberalism is a worldwide failure. It is the same way here and stems from the same causes.

  • FOX Refuses To Fire Nick Cannon

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 17th 2020 4:05pm EDT

    First and foremost I extend my deepest and most sincere apologies to my Jewish sisters and brothers for the hurtful and divisive words that came out of my mouth during my interview with Richard Griffin.— Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) July 16, 2020 They reinforced the worst stereotypes of a proud and magnificent people and I feel […]

  • Andrew Sullivan Resigns From New York Magazine

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 17th 2020 3:01pm EDT

    We live in a strange world. In this world, I am the “bigot” and “extremist” and the underground “hate group.” And yet, I have read Andrew Sullivan over the years and it has never occurred to me to hate or despise the man or to whip up a mob to silence him. Sure, he is […]

  • Portland Burns With DHS Secretary Chad Wolf In Town

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 17th 2020 1:18pm EDT

    Racial conflict has been surprisingly muted since George Floyd died. In Why Are The Rich Revolting and Hub City Riot Ninjas, I explained that it is mainly the Woke spawn of the White upper middle class who have been marinated in Critical Social Justice Theory at universities who are revolting and causing all the destruction […]

  • Liberalism and Leftism

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 16th 2020 8:08pm EDT

    It is hard to say which is worse. I want to draw a distinction. This might be confusing to some readers. When I criticize “woke supremacy,” I am referring to Woke people whose worldview is based on Critical Social Justice Theory. These people are leftists and their intellectual roots trace back ultimately to the Frankfurt […]

  • What Is Deconstruction?

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 16th 2020 3:04pm EDT

    Deconstruction is another lovely idea that comes from our Jewish friends alongside Marxism and Freudianism which are the foundation of Critical Theory. Jacques Derrida was the Jewish father of deconstruction which is a technique used by woke supremacists: 1/Deconstruction.You’ve likely seen this word in media and in academic literature. If you want to understand wokeness […]

  • American History Series: Critique of Colin Woodard’s Union

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 16th 2020 1:16pm EDT

    Enjoyed speaking with ?@keratx?’s. ?@kerathink? about the struggle to forge a story that could hold the young United States together. https://t.co/xON19aQDwj— Colin Woodard (@WoodardColin) July 15, 2020 LISTEN HERE. I’ve already reviewed Colin Woodard’s new book Union. As I have listened to his radio interviews though, I have thought more about what was wrong with […]

  • Steve Sailer: Our New Religion of Race

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 15th 2020 8:38pm EDT

    Woke supremacy is our new established national religion. Takimag: “St. Paul famously wrote to the Galatians:“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.”But America in the era of George Floyd (may he rest in power) appears to be […]

  • What Is Critical Theory?

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 15th 2020 3:43pm EDT

    1. Critical theory is taking socially binding norms and flipping the narrative to make them pejoratives, pathologies, and oppression that must be fought in order to destroy the strengths & defenses of a society, like what HIV does to the immune system pic.twitter.com/j1OajSUU3U— Write Winger (@RealWriteWinger) July 14, 2020 2.

    Asheville Approves Reparations For Slavery: In historic move, Asheville approves reparations for Black residentshttps://t.co/I9hDTrD8vh— Tennessean (@Tennessean) July 15, 2020 In the anti-racism crisis of 2020, everything is about anti-racism because it is the animating idea of the post-World War II era. As I have argued, the postwar consensus is decadent and plunging the West into […]

  • Southern History Series: George Fitzhugh on The Sickness of Free Society

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 15th 2020 11:14am EDT

    After the events of the last month and a half, I am continuing to reread George Fitzhugh whose critique of liberalism and free-market capitalism have shaped my views toward our current social order. We’re moving on now to his second book, Cannibals All! or, Slaves Without Masters. “My chief aim has been to shew, that […]

  • Tommy Tuberville Defeats Jeff Sessions

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 14th 2020 10:47pm EDT

    Wow, just called! @TTuberville – Tommy Tuberville WON big against Jeff Sessions. Will be a GREAT Senator for the incredible people of Alabama. @DougJones is a terrible Senator who is just a Super Liberal puppet for Schumer & Pelosi. Represents Alabama poorly. On to November 3rd.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 15, 2020 A GREAT […]

  • The Tory Tradition

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 14th 2020 9:02pm EDT

    I’ve long hated the word “conservative.” I have never identified with mainstream conservatism in the United States. More recently, I have started using the term “conservative liberal” to describe these people in order to better contrast them with my own worldview. I’m a natural conservative but not in the same sense as those people. I […]

  • The Pandemic Could Get Much Worse

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 14th 2020 8:06pm EDT

    139,142 deaths. 3,542,888 cases. 63,405 new cases today. Why have I stopped writing about COVID-19? New York Times: “When you mix science and politics, you get politics. With the coronavirus, the United States has proved politics hasn’t worked. If we are to fully reopen both the economy and schools safely — which can be done […]

  • George Soros To Spend $200 Million on “Racial Justice” Movement

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 14th 2020 6:14pm EDT

    For decades, my foundations have invested in dismantling systemic racism—from ending the drug war to securing voting rights. Now, a new $220 million investment will build power in Black communities and new anti-racist policies in the U.S. https://t.co/x9zdM5JRCB pic.twitter.com/US4U80T9cv— George Soros (@georgesoros) July 13, 2020 The Open Society Foundations, the philanthropic group founded by George […]
