Yes, it is really dead. All of the fun and the energy has been bled out of this community. The timeline just sucks, and there’s nothing surprising or interesting getting posted anymore.
Let’s get real, ok: this is not a “dissident” movement, this is a subculture. This is consumerism, self-expression. It is not a “dangerous force” that is shaking up the political system.
Art zines are not political dissent. Homesteading is not political dissent. Mainstream acceptance is not political dissdent. These are all games, get real bro!
This fact is extremely obvious, but for some reason, people don’t want to look at it dead in the face. It’s like they feel deep down inside that behind the games, there is no hope.
I do have hope, but I want people to face their fear: yes, we do not actually know how to achieve white nationalism. We cannot figure out how to “do something” without it devolving into some kind of larp.
Well, when you don’t know what to do, you FIGURE IT OUT! So right there, that’s your first step. Why does everything become a larp? What is the opposite of a larp? What is the criteria for authentic activism? Figure out these questions, and some doors finally start to open.
Marxists have known about this problem forever. But no one in this community ever talks about it, because they don’t believe in their own ability to solve problems. They’re all helpless. They all want some strongman (an e-celeb) to come out of the sky and do the thinking for them.
The answer is that capitalism continuously disturbs our routines. Mass movements require carefully perfected routines that normally develop under stagnant conditions. Modern society is simply too dynamic for things like a secret society – after two years, everyone moves to a new state or gets distracted by something else.
So this idea about entrenching yourself in your local community, and doing charitable works, and having an alt right household – like that’s just make-believe. That stuff would have worked in the 1920s, back when communities were still sophisticated.
This is what you’re faced with today:

What “community” is here to “entrench oneself” in? There’s nothing. It’s just a bunch of random objects. There’s no harmony, and thus no “in.”
