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.
