I know I've posted some pretty black pill stuff lately.
This is more about the way forward, Torba's written a blog post/email where he assumes national level elections will be fortified-- in keeping with my own feelings on the matter, and focuses on building from the grassroots a parallel structure which is low to the ground and vertically integrated to avoid tech and media monopoly influence. (ie, 'build your own' taken to its natural conclusion.)
What other seeds need to be sown? How does the Right prepare for a future where national level opposition is a certainty, and the overwhelming majority of civic institutions are converged and enemy held?
How do you build parallel systems when physical infrastructure is converged and enemy held?
Labour unions have a choke hold on all major infrastructure; you can't even learn the skills needed to build and maintain it without falling under their thrall, and they also just so happen to pick the winning candidates the majority of the time.
The fact is, we build these institutions. They've been stolen by subversives and we need to take them back.
FTFY, and agree with the first point.
Generationally, yes. Our side did, and still can build. We need to leverage that creative potential.
It's also worth pointing out that the academy was ceded by the right. We need to build and hold institutional power.
The problem I see is that, 'Taking them [the institutions/infrastructure] back' would require a counter-play to the left's "long-march through the institutions." So I ask:
Are you prepared to dedicate 30-40 years to pretending to be lefty to launch institutional counter insurgence, or are you advocating this path for others as a reasonable solution?
Do you believe we have 30-40 years, given current rates of convergence?
I suspect the answer to both is a hard 'no.'
If so, then we need to reckon with 'the grid' as an outsider.
I think we have to build outside it; arguably from the ground up, as Gab/Torba have. I don't see any other viable alternatives, given the threat Agenda 2030 represents, so it's important to look to Gab as an example of what needs to be paralleled in other spheres.
Republicans will win the Presidency again if they just stop being cucks and they ballot harvest in key states.
The CA GOP has learned to ballot harvest and this is how they manage to win some congressional districts in LA.
Torba is right on building parallel communities and infrastructure but we should never cede all federal races without a real fight.
Harmeet Dhillon should be RNC chair. She understands ballot harvesting perfectly.
foreigners should not be in our politics in any capacity
Even tradcons are waking up after this recent shitshow of an election.
I hear even some GOP boomers saying that the GOP needs to ballot harvest like the Dems.
However, national socialism is a retarded idea.
Torba is certainly right about some things but advocating for national socialism is a huge own-goal.
Until elections revolve around living American citizens who cast physical ballots on Election Day again, you're wasting resources if you focus on convincing people to vote for you. Traditional campaigning doesn't matter when 50% of the votes are cast a month ahead of time.
So you disagree with Torba. Fine.
You don't like NatSoc. Also understandable.
What is your play if not parallel structures a la Gab? How do you propose we move to counter convergence and Agenda 2030 moving forward?
Who wants to tell him?
Si vis pacem, para bellum. Its the only answer.
