TAC: Orders of Charity
Occidental Dissent - Dec 16th 2019 7:07pm ESTThis is a good article. I recommend that our Catholic readers read and digest it and wonder what changed. It doesn’t sound all too different from Luther’s idea of the Orders of Creation. TAC: “As a Catholic theologian, Aquinas unsurprisingly identifies God as the preeminent object of man’s love. But this hierarchy also has broad […]
The Center Left To Right Pipeline
Occidental Dissent - Dec 16th 2019 4:35pm EST
I’ve been reading and thinking about Simon Reid-Henry’s book Empire of Democracy: The Remaking of the West Since the Cold War, 1971-2017. At the beginning of the postwar era, the Democratic Party and the New Deal coalition was strong in the United States. The Christian Democrats and Social Democrats were similarly strong in Western Europe. […]Michigan Swing Voters Are Just Trump Voters Now
Occidental Dissent - Dec 16th 2019 2:20pm ESTI’m not surprised. I’ve been sensing a shift in momentum ever since the Democratic debates started and this impeachment nonsense began this fall. It has been a double victory for Trump. Axios: “SAGINAW, Mich. — Some swing voters here who voted for Barack Obama and then Donald Trump are firmly in Trump’s camp now — […]
Justin Trudeau Orders Cabinet To Regulate Internet Hate Speech
Occidental Dissent - Dec 16th 2019 1:19pm ESTAs I pointed out in the Hallmark article, liberal totalitarianism enforces cultural uniformity like any other totalitarian state. True North: “Justin Trudeau has told four of his cabinet ministers in his mandate letters to them that they are tasked with regulating online hate speech. Trudeau told the new heritage minister that he’s to “create new […]
Boris Johnson Plans To Move Forward With Anti-BDS Law
Occidental Dissent - Dec 16th 2019 12:55pm ESTWe’re not excited about Boris Johnson’s new Red Tory majority in the UK. While the Labour Party deserved to lose and its demise is rightly worth celebrating, the Conservatives didn’t deserve to win and we should remain highly skeptical of their agenda. Times of Israel: “Newly reelected British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to […]

New York Times: Jews Experience Anxiety Over Hardening National Identities
Occidental Dissent - Dec 15th 2019 9:12pm ESTIf national identities continue to “harden” and liberalism collapses over the next 30 years as it dissolves the foundations of Western nations and generates so much ethnic tension that it becomes unsustainable, the worst thing that will happen to anxious Jews is that they will pack their bags and evac to Israel where they will […]
New York Times: Military Investigating Suspected ‘White Power’ Hand Gestures Flashed at Game
Occidental Dissent - Dec 15th 2019 6:28pm ESTThe ADL has officially designated the OK sign as a “white supremacist hand gesture.” Surely, that must be how it is being used here. New York Times: “United States military officials said they were investigating whether Army cadets and Navy midshipmen had flashed hand symbols associated with hate groups at their football game on Saturday.A […]

Occidental Dissent - Dec 15th 2019 5:50pm ESTLast week, Seattle and King County leaders hired transgender stripper Beyoncé Black St. James to perform at their annual conference on solving homelessness.Here’s how they’re using taxpayer money: pic.twitter.com/J0lCKVVfgO— Christopher F. Rufo (@realchrisrufo) December 15, 2019 This is mainstream under liberal democracy. I’m an evil “extremist” for being a White Anglo-Saxon Southern Protestant who runs […]
Lutheran Orthodoxy and Pietism
Occidental Dissent - Dec 15th 2019 3:48pm ESTI spent much of last year studying the Reformation. I’m currently studying the period between the Peace of Augsburg and the Enlightenment and exploring how Lutheranism continued to evolve in Northern Europe in the late 16th, 17th and early 18th centuries. This period is roughly bounded by Luther’s death and Immanuel Kant and Friedrich Schleiermacher […]

The Atlantic: What Does Tucker Carlson Believe?
Occidental Dissent - Dec 15th 2019 12:49pm EST
Tucker Carlson Tonight is the only show that I watch on television. CNN and MSNBC and the vast majority of FOX News programming is unwatchable Boomer feed. I spend a great deal of time reading True Conservative websites and following and watching those people and their little discussions on Twitter. I see them as irrelevant, […]A Brief Note on Long and Seedy History of American Intelligence and the Neoconservatives
Occidental Dissent - Dec 15th 2019 11:46am ESTEditor’s Note: I’ve heard rumors for years that William F. Buckley and National Review had connections to the CIA and that postwar conservatism was shaped to fit the peculiar ideological needs of American intelligence agencies during the Cold War. I have never looked into the matter, but it wouldn’t surprise me if a similar project […]

Wall Street Journal: Boris Johnson Joins Trump in Redefining Conservatism
Occidental Dissent - Dec 14th 2019 3:49pm ESTI agree with the basic thrust of this article. It shies away though from the cultural side of the revolt against neoliberalism. British and American politics tend to be closely in sync: Harry Truman and Clement Attlee are the beginning of postwar embedded liberalism which was dominant during the Thirty Glorious Years until the mid-1970s, […]
