Was listening to Moldbug here and he made a great analogy around the 51 minute mark.
(Context - him shitting on rufo and desantis and people like them who think they can make ideological change in the courts/through laws.)
In order to match the power the left has in our society the right would have to do something like the following:
Imagine there were judicial tribunals created for the abolition of critical race theory. filled with ex-patriot prayer members, white activists, etc. Of course now 'reformed' (they went back to law school after all). People who were 10-20 years ago were once alt-righters would be fining and even jailing their ideological opponents in banana courts.
Think about how absurd that sounds. Then recognize this is what exists today in the west, except from the opposite side. This is the way our current judiciary works. This is human rights tribunals. Ex-left wing terrorists are judges and advisors to deep power. The patent absurdity of the opposite happening demonstrates just how far the right is from any sort of power in the west.
I do think local resistance may be effective. Parents dominating school board meetings and uniting to either kick out the woke teachers or homeschool en masse? Can't hurt. Though the cathedral might destroy them (if this starts to happen, expect a massive push to call homeschooling a cult and devalue those who were homeschooled).
As to your second point, Charles Murray has a book called 'By The People' where he argues that, because of the corruption of the courts and the massive expansion of federal govt power, only hope for any sort of non-woke values in the west is through local civil disobedience (like what the left already does through sanctuary cities).
The utilization of federalism is an interesting idea. I do think if 10% of the U.S. population is willing to get up and move to a state with the express purpose of ignoring the federal government, that would be interesting.
