Occidental Consent

I like it!

I started this website back in the Dark Ages.

In 2001, I discovered Pat Buchanan and basically absorbed all of his paleoconservative views on race, immigration, national identity, social conservatism, trade, globalism, multiculturalism, etc. This was at the zenith of Conservatism, Inc. during the George W. Bush presidency.

In those days, being a “dissident” or “alt-right” meant being beyond the pale of respectable mainstream conservatism, as defined by the likes of National Review and The Weekly Standard. Paleocons, White Nationalists, libertarians and various other factions were in Bill Buckley’s dog house.

In 2015/2016, I supported Donald Trump because I saw him as a bulldozer. He was a useful instrument to level the conservative establishment. Then in 2017, I blackpilled on Trump. I was disappointed with his Cabinet picks and his retreat back into mainstream conservatism. I became disillusioned with Trump in his first term and I didn’t vote for him in the 2020 election. I was done with Blumpf.

Unlike TRS, I was equally critical of Joe Biden who I didn’t vote for either in the 2020 election. It quickly became apparent that Biden was far worse than Trump. He led us into the war in Ukraine where over a million people have died in the worst war in Europe since World War II. He presided over a genocide in Gaza, a devastating war in Lebanon and the fall of Assad in Syria. He let over 10 million people cross the border in four years. He spearheaded the mainstreaming of anti-White discrimination at every level of government in the executive branch and the expansion of DEI in Corporate America. He incarcerated thousands of political prisoners. He gave us the worst gas prices and inflation in a generation.

After 2020, the conservative base radicalized due to a number of shocks – COVID, the George Floyd riots, Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election, the radicalism of the Biden administration. Trump himself survived two assassination attempts and four separate legal lynchings. Because I closely follow public opinion polls, I recognized that Trump and his supporters were changing in a good way. Along the way, the Republican Party steadily changed from what it had been in 2016-2018 as “True Conservatives” like Jeff Flake and Mitt Romney retired from Congress. The party was completely MAGAified in a way it wasn’t in 2020.

Since the inauguration last Monday, it is true that I have celebrated Trump’s actions across a whole spectrum of issues – immigration, refugee resettlement, trade, foreign wars, anti-White discrimination, censorship, transgenderism and so on – because all of this is fully consistent with what I have always believed. This is the closest thing to a paleoconservative or a nationalist government that any of us who are alive today have ever experienced. It is objectively a massive improvement over George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Trump’s first term or Joe Biden’s presidency. It is what we wanted to happen in 2016. Every paleocon on the internet in the United States is pleased with the administration.

Granted, I could nitpick and there are several things that Trump has done that I disagree with to satisfy a broad coalition, but overall I am satisfied with our change in government. So far, I see a lot more to be happy about than to be disgruntled about. This could always change. We are only two weeks into a four year term. We still have a long and grueling fight in the courts ahead of us. There are also all kinds of issues like interracial marriage which are still well outside the Overton Window in Trump 2.0.

Which brings me to yesterday’s episode ….

I stand by my assessment of TRS.

Last year, every episode of TRS that I listened to was Jessoid shitting on Rightoids, Whiteoids, Christoids, bumpkins, yokels, creekshitters, rural retards, etc. You really couldn’t tune in and miss the contempt that he has for his neighbors in small town and rural Pennsylvania. He bought a nice house in the Poconos where he moved from New York after raising all that money from his “fake job.” For my own amusement, I wanted to hear what Jewish conservatives were saying in 2024, so I listened to Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin and I couldn’t find anyone in conservative media with so much animosity toward White people. The only person who comes to mind who can hold a candle to Jessoid’s vitriol is Tim Wise.

I don’t buy into Jessoid’s self-image as a “Nazi.” Wignatism is fundamentally different from historic German National Socialism. If anything is true, Adolf Hitler was a jingoistic, super patriot while these people are just the opposite. They are alienated East Coast hipsters who despise their own country and people while glorifying Muslims. They live vicariously through Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran even going so far as to wear their gear like Americans who wear Buffalo Bills jerseys. Some of them like Striker live through BRICS countries like Russia and China. They don’t like or relate to White people in America.

Whether you love him or hate him, Hitler was a patriot who built a political apparatus in his own country to advance his cause. He worked within the system. He got elected. He even formed an alliance with conservatives to come to power. In contrast, wignatism is a pietist cult of losing. Insofar as wignats engage in political activity, it is to get libtards and leftists into power in order to usher in their nihilistic “collapse,” as Jessoid tried to do when he voted for Kamala Harris. In his own words, he did it for no other reason than to betray and sink his White neighbors, and in the hope that he could crash out and live off the government as a welfare leech. This is a theme he frequently returns to. He talks all the time on the show about how much he loves communism now. Hitler used fear of communism and the Left to fuel his rise to power. He had a broad program suited to his times. He rode an economic collapse to power.

Wignatism is based on an incurable reactionary nostalgia for another time and place – Germany in the 1930s and 1940s. It would be unfair to Confederate reenactors to compare them to wignats. They are only LARPing as weekend warriors and even then are doing so out of nostalgia for their own ancestors. It is a hobby like collecting stamps. These people are unironically taking up mental residence in another country and another century most of them have no connection to. Historic German National Socialism was a völkisch ideology. It is unintelligible outside the context of German ethnicity and history. Hitler himself did not try to export it to the United States. Instead, he encouraged German-Americans to immigrate to the Third Reich. It is unfair to historic German National Socialists to compare them to these weird Americans. Hitler wasn’t imprisoned in a tomb of nostalgia for another country.

In my view, the most revealing difference of all though is the fact that Jessoid had open contempt for earnest ideologues like Greg Conte who were trying to build something like the NSDAP. He went out of his way to tear down and destroy the National Justice Party which is an odd thing to do for a “Nazi.” He said it was the worst thing that had ever happened to him in his life in a viral rant. He mocked the people involved in the effort including his co-host Mike. Ideologically, I disagree agree with Conte, but what he was doing at least made sense in terms of the values of his own paradigm. Jessoid candidly said he hated the NJP because it was a distraction from his own grift. On the show, he rants about how much he hates bourgeois small business owners for how they screw over their employees, but he himself took great pleasure in firing Warren and Striker and dismantling their political project.

I think the audience of TRS are “Nazis,” but Jessoid sees them as his ball and chain. He gave up on White Nationalism or “Nazism” a long time ago, but remains financially dependent on the gig. He reverted to being just another smug libtard from New York who thinks he is better than everyone else. It is impossible to imagine, say, Adolf Hitler fawning over and recycling the talking points of the modern day American Democratic Party. The way in which Jessoid celebrates the death of Ashli Babbitt bears no resemblance whatsoever to how Hitler himself used the Blutfahne to honor the martyrs of the Beer Hall Putsch. Trump is far closer to Hitler in how he inspires such fanatical loyalty or how he mass pardoned the January 6 prisoners or how he waves the bloody shirt of his martyrs like Corey Comperatore.

Can you imagine Adolf Hitler or the typical historic German “Nazi” voting for Kamala Harris? Yeah, neither can I. The typical “Nazi” in those days was someone who hated leftists and put them in camps.

I can imagine the Chapo Trap House bros doing it. I can imagine Swann Marcus doing it after ranting about “Rightoids.” The Chapo bros were from New York and their style and commentary has far more in common with TRS these days than “National Socialism.” It has become a run of the mill American socialist podcast in nearly everything – the Reddit atheism, the obsession with Palestinians, the hatred of everything rightwing, the libtard talking points, voting for Democrats, the violent hatred of Trump to the point of wishing he had been assassinated, celebrating the death of Babbitt, and so forth.

TRS also resembles nothing in politics so much as QAnon. I like to think of it as a sort of inverted QAnon where Jews are playing 4D Chess, Mike and Jessoid try to sound smart deciphering their chess moves even though their predictions routinely fail and no one “Trusts the Plan” in that Trump can never be seen as doing anything positive or good like ending devastating wars. Just as QAnon sold false hope to Trump supporters, JewAnon sells cynicism and despair, brain rot conspiracies, Third Worldism and socialist and libtard talking points to “Nazis” who are too dim to understand that they are the marks.

Hitler was also a serious person and a pragmatist. Like Trump, he harnessed German patriotism and economic anxiety to rise to power. He wanted to Make Germany Great Again by reversing German territorial losses after World War I. Antisemitism was definitely part of his message, but it wasn’t anywhere close to the entire package because Hitler understood the psychological and material needs normal people in all times care about. He focused on reviving the German economy and didn’t go after Jews until years after he was elected. He didn’t drone on endlessly about Jews. He didn’t have the monomania of American internet cranks who have intrusive thoughts about Jews and who get triggered and aggravated like Jessoid on his podcast when they have to talk about anything else except their obsession.

A crank is someone who is “a fool of one idea.” The term “crank” entered American popular culture during the Gilded Age which was also the age of the crank. The humorist Robert Burdette explained that a crank “turns something, it makes the wheels go round, it insures progress. True, it turns the same wheel all the time, and it can’t do anything else.” Not all antisemites are cranks, but lots of antisemites become mentally ill cranks. The hallmark of a crank is being repetitive, having an unhealthy fixation on one thing and relating everything in the world back to that one thing which comes across as annoying. Cranks have been known throughout history for turning to self-harm and violence against others.

I’m really being torn in two directions.

I have more mixed feelings now about the Jewish Question. The downsides have become more and more visible.

On the one hand, if we were to look at the actual behavior of Jews like the Netanyahu government in Gaza backed by people like Ben Gvir and Smotrich, then honestly things have never been worse. If it were not for activists making themselves the story, I might be becoming more antisemitic.

On the other hand, if we look at American activists who are focused on the Jewish Question, then I am becoming increasingly annoyed. In the last post, I pointed to Nick Fuentes and the Groypers and the “anti-Zionist alliances” he is trying to create with blacks, Muslims and Marxists. You have a scene which has attracted black pedophiles like Ali Alexander who groomed and ass raped underage Groypers. You have mentally ill incels torturing Wifejak cartoons. You have a movement which is attracting people like Sneako, Suliaman Ahmed and lowlifes like Andrew Tate. You have the “Niggercel” shooter in Nashville. Antisemitism was the gateway to what the “America First” movement has become.

There is Lucas Gage in his backyard in New Jersey slashing an Israeli flag with a Roman gladius like he is in the movie Gladiator. We all watched the real time crank-ification of Gage when he lost his mind and posted a video on the internet about Rabbi Shmuley’s nephew railing his wife. He came online to explain to the internet that he lost his family because he couldn’t stop talking about Jews. He developed an obsessive compulsive need to post about Jews which was incredibly damaging to his own life.

The Goyim Defense League activist in Tennessee who was just indicted for stalking people in a Jewish community center dressed as an Orthodox rabbi illustrates another tendency of “antisemitism.” These are the people like Handsome Truth and Gypsy Crusader who play the clown for audiences on the internet. Playing the clown is another example of how antisemitism ends up being anti-political. Most of this is harmless fun, but the goy in Tennessee took the autism into the real world.

Most of these activists are now dwarfed in their reach by Stew Peters. In recent years, antisemitism has spread life wildfire through the conspiracy sphere. It is now a gateway into a maze of countless other unrelated conspiracies. This is the bulk of the audience now, not people who read Kevin MacDonald twenty years ago. If anyone is the leader of “antisemitism,” it is Candace Owens who red pilled Kanye West on the Jews. Kanye’s insane crash out on Alex Jones was a signature event in the movement.

No survey of “antisemitism” would be complete without mentioning Adam Green.

“Antisemitism” is leading activists in down myriad blind alleys. Some examples include living vicariously through Islamic groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, entombed in nostalgia for the bygone Third Reich, supporting Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign to own conservatives, Trump Derangement Syndrome, creating an “anti-Zionist” Muslim-Christian alliance, despising and wanting to abuse White women, into playing the clown, into mental health episodes, into hating normal White families, into radicalizing black and Latino school shooters, into Yedolf’s stillborn presidential campaign, into all sorts of other retarded conspiracy theories and last, but not least into rejecting Jesus Christ and hating Christians.

Circling back to “Occidental Consent,” the tagline of this website hasn’t changed. At various times, it has been pro-White, pro-South, pro-Christian. For years, it has been Nationalism, Populism, Reaction. I’ve always had paleoconservative values. I married into a pro-White paleoconservative family. It is just now in the Trump 2.0 it seems like “antisemitism” is increasingly incompatible with those values.

The common thread that unites all of these people mentioned in this post is being ineffective and the fact that they aren’t doing anything for White people. It has also not escaped my attention that all of their activism has taken place in the backdrop of Stephen Miller’s return to power. Miller has done more in just one day to help White people in America than these people will in their entire lifetimes.

It is actually Stephen Miller who should live off donations. He’s not calling us country bumpkins. He’s not trying to get Kamala Harris in the White House. He is dismantling harmful policies, not praising and endorsing DEI like TRS, or forming human swastikas at helicopters like Eric Striker after the Shelbyville rally.
