It's going to be rough, but honestly it's a good idea to start organizing locally with Reform now. You're probably going to have to engage in Civil Disobedience as they start passing crazy laws, so make sure to keep extra food, water, cash, and fuel for your car; and start finding more likeminded friends to associate with.
If you have to, consider making an alt account like "Alt-Lethn" or "Bizzaro Lethn" where you say only the opposite of what you mean.
"Bizzaro Lethn am BIG supporter of Labour Party. Kier Starmer SAVE Britan. Bizzaro Lethn LOVE Kier Starmer."
start finding more likeminded friends to associate with.
The dissident right talks a lot about "finding your frens" as a survival strategy (at least in IRL).
But then as Kienan's "Where do you live?" thread showed last night, paranoia and obsession with glowies and fed gayops means that everyone stays atomized and organizing online is impossible.
Everyone is content to just meme and bitch online while fantasizing about how they are going to make their last stand when the knock comes on their door.
The issue is that you really can't rely on online friendships. Trust me, I've been in "close-knit" internet communities before, and the geography problem is actually really serious. It's all fun and games to have 'friends' until you realize that no one is closer than 500 miles from anyone else. There's no real way to maintain those friendships.
I know people who hate nerd/geek culture, and joined DND groups just so that they could socialize with other adults on a regular basis. Geography is more important than similar interests. The ugly truth is that online communities can't ever be anything but atomized.
Which doesn't mean you should make online friends become IRL friends. Frankly, even if you did, you couldn't maintain it. It means you have to actively hunt down and find people with similar values and interests in real life. Specifically, people within a 30 minute travel distance. And if you can't? Then you have to make an institution that supports that interest from scratch, or you have to get a new interest.
Is that difficult, oh fuck yes it is. People don't really understand just how hard rebuilding civilization is actually going to be.
I'm simply pointing out that our side's complete abandonment of the potential of the online world over paranoia over gayops is one of the reasons why we're going to lose.
"Go touch grass and make IRL friends" is boomer tier advice, even if it's not the worst idea.
It's just very disappointing as an overarching strategy.
Perhaps, but gayops is far less effective then being active with your neighbors.
It might be boomer advice, but unfortunately, it's because it actually works; we're just not incentivized to do it naturally. It's like saying: "A good way to meet wholesome women is in after-church services." That's true, now name a person that actively does it. The problem isn't that the advice is bad, the problem is that we aren't following it, and we don't know anyone that does.

I don't disagree with either of your posts.
