We can't win by just pointing out the problems and inconsistencies with the other side's ideas. We need to figure out how to present an alternative that not only supports our agenda but is appealing to normies.
"Shut up and work hard and you will get into heaven" is no longer adequate motivation for the general population. Conservatism desperately needs a marketing department.
Simultaneously we need to go after the individuals on the other side who are publicly espousing things like economic and social violence against us. (see what I did there?)
I haven't figured it out yet to be perfectly honest, but Conservatism only ever yields ground to its opponents, so I don't find it to be a suitable form of opposition to the current madness. We need something though.
I don't know either but I'm convinced there needs to be some kind of religious framework behind it. People need a certitude even if it is bullshit when you think about it, most people don't want to or actively refuse to think about it.
Co-opting an existing religion would put us hundreds of years ahead. The way I see it is there are two paths. One is use christianity and the other is use islam.
Christianity is the easier but probably weaker foundation since anyone can start a christian cult. Pushing something like eastern orthodox might be workable since they seem the least pozzed.
Islam, on the surface, looks pretty damn based. From what little I know to convert all you have to do is say you convert. Then do regular performative public rituals to demonstrate you are loyal. The downside is there doesn't appear to be a mechanism for islam to internally police itself so there isnt a good way to "steer the ship".
These really are questions for someone smarter than me.

Conservatism doesn't need a marketing department, it needs to be abandoned in favor of something that will work.
whats that something?
