Remember when you're being told to "kill your enemies with kindness?" Well, fuck that. Remember when you're being lectured on how to deal with them is through "logic and reason"? Fuck that shit. Remember when you're being told that "ethics" will get them straightened up? Well, screw that.
You really want to gain ground against the deranged Marxists? Start packing and stop playing nice. Playing the optics game didn't work then, it won't work now and will not work in the future. They got their way through intimidation and force. Why should we not do the same?
The herd animals will be less likely to flock in that direction if it leads them to harm. They currently do antifa shit because there are negligible consequences.
The media controls the optics and narrative and the normies rely on media propaganda, even if it's just reading the headline or watching CNN because it's on at a restaurant or gym. MOST of the normies are lost and will be witless pawns that will likely do as they're told ala Covid mandates and will likely happily cheer your death if the media and talking heads tell them to.....find right wingers and stick to them. Yuri said it best, you can show them the gulags and they still won't believe you or will say they're a good thing.
