NOT RADICAL INDIVIDUALISM, BUT INDIVIDUAL SOVEREIGNTY AND INTOLERANT FAMILIALISM
—“And I’ll be the first to concede that radical individualism is indeed problematic when you’re faced with collectivists who want you gone, but I do think that individualism is ideal after the threat has been adequately dealt with, and is in keeping with the general ethos of the West.”–Matthew Genack
Radical individualism is just an attack on the very commons that made western civilization competitive. Individual Sovereignty, and Radical Familialism is a better strategy.

COMPARTMENTALIZATION ALLOWS BOILING OF THE FROG (meaning “us”).

There is also a disconnect between day-to-day life and political reality. Even most people who are politically aware compartmentalize the daily grind (work, exercise, family, sleep, shopping, etc) and politics. Even as political disaster looms larger, it has the aspect of fiction. It exists while you pay attention to it, posting online or what have you, and when you wake up the next morning and enter the rat race it no longer seems as real. Yet in the halls of power, the gears never stop turning.

Why won’t nationalists act?
Reason:
1) Weak leadership
2) Lack of material (economic, political, military) incentives, rather than LARP incentives (status and norm).
3) Lack of any plan… https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=283278228935741&id=100017606988153

THE ODDS DON”T MATTER ANY LONGER
—“What you’re going to see, increasingly, are individuals for whom the odds don’t matter any more, because they have nothing left to lose, and who will act without any expectation of success, alone at first, but eventually in groups. Only when all hope is lost will the path to victory be clear, because that is the only circumstance under which anyone will go to the trouble and risk to clear it.”— Eli Harman

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
by James Santagata
It is very simple. It builds linearly. In the beginning you have a variety of people, but often the most vocal are never the best ,as the best are not attracted or vocal and/or the costs vs benefits are out of whack.
Over time, as objectives, reasoning, and so on mature and gel, it grows but initially it is somewhat blind rage and guerilla warfare, dank memes, short cogent logical posts, challenges, marches and some street fights.
This serves to shift overton window far to the right,even if it ends up to still be true left. And it shifts again and again.
The opponents have to go the opposite way, more left, which makes the gap more clear and triggers more to the left and more to the right.
As that happens intra-party conflicts happen but as they are settled, detractors are silenced, shamed or flushed.
As it grows, the numbers and quality improve (jumping ahead, the danger is and the fact is, once successful, the charismatic opportunists make a showing).
At some point, it hits an inflection point and shifts to be non-linear growth and nonlinear reach and impact.
First exponential 10^1, 10^2, 10^3 and then finally geometric, base and exponent both increase. 10^1, 20^2, 40^4, 80^16, etc.

WHAT DOES AN ARMY LOOK LIKE?

The left was once scattered and relatively powerless, though not as much as the true right today, since there weren’t the same societal and institutional pressures keeping them from organizing and acting. They had sources of funding and support both foreign and domestic to lessen the risk they faced. An important fringe leftist in the 60’s would have, for instance, an unassailable position in a University and a circle of admirers among the upper class. Even if a majority of Americans would find them detestable (if they knew who they were), they would not lose their job and more importantly, would not be outcast from their part of society. It took them decades to get where they are now, having taken over so many institutions that their ideology and worldview is now the default.
We can’t imitate them because we don’t have 50 years to do it and the social dynamic is totally different. Everyone knows what they can do as an individual in their own life to be better and prepare (i.e. stop being a NEET sperging out uselessly on the internet) but 1 million individuals even of quality do not make an army. What is the first real step to organizing seriously? What does it look like?
