Advice from a Counter-Currents commentator:

As mentioned, any attempt to defend oneself will be spun by the media and the authorities as an attack. Not only do we not have the cops on our side, we don’t have the justice system either. I don’t suppose I am suggesting anything new to you.

What we should have at any events are volunteers to film and photograph everything. Guests should arrive at the event with a chaperone / guard(s) who film any altercations or intimidation by the commies, copies of which can be used in court if necessary. Other volunteers should stand outside the event and film everything. These can be put online and used by our army of autists to try to identify specific members of the local antifa group so that they can be held accountable, particularly where they injure someone.

Given the consistency with which these antifa groups disrupt such events, proving they are the aggressors should not be difficult for a half-decent lawyer armed with video documentation of events all around the world. Obviously we can’t expect them to pay much for their crimes, given the state of things, but we can at least defend ourselves from spurious accusations if we take the right precautionary measures.

Of course, those volunteers themselves can be subjects of attack (unless hidden somewhere but still with access to generate photographic evidence), which punts the problem further down the line. Do we need another set of volunteers documenting everything that happens to the first set?  And then a third set to document the second set? 

It’s still a good idea, and worth doing, but, ultimately, we will need people integrated into the System so as to pressure for at least minimal freedom of assembly rights. We need folks running for office, and getting elected at least at the local level. Oh, you ask, what stops these people, the candidates and elected officials, from getting attacked?  In theory, nothing, but if the System actually allows political candidates and/or elected officials to be publicly attacked, with impunity, by leftist thugs, then they may as well close up shop with respect to maintaining any pretense of law and order and “democracy.”  If the System wants things to drop headlong into the abyss of a strife-torn banana republic, with evaporating political legitimacy, then allowing the mainstream political process to be subverted by street violence would be the way to go about doing it. Would they go that far in order to shut down the Right?  In the long run it’s a lose-lose situation for them, but they haven’t been put to the test yet.

Der System is, if anything, even more ludicrously incompetent than is Der Movement. Obviously, any competent “movement” led by a merit-based leadership should have at least a fighting chance against the types of morons who use “admin” as a username and password for sensitive information at a major corporation. What’s next? Username = username and password = password?  That Der Movement keeps on failing, failing miserably, tells you all you need to know about all of the “movement” heroes and “rock stars.”

Another Counter-Currents ethnonationalist infesting the nations of other peoples, taking their women, etc. Once again, Sallis is 100% correct – what these types mean by “ethnonationalism” is actually full-throated, in-your-face ethnoimperialism. What we have here are self-styled racial aristocrats who preach the joys of ethnic homogeneity and sovereignty while blatantly violating the ethnic homogeneity and sovereignty of all groups other than their own.

Pity poor Anton intimidated by all those hulking varsity football player Polish dudes - he needs to commiserate with Deasy, still traumatized by all those Bulgarian faces…in Bulgaria.  Ethnonationalist Johnson, who peddles this hypocritical drivel, either has to be the most majestically self-unaware person on Earth, or he is simply trolling all of us.

Zman the retard:

Now, I do like winter, so the gathering darkness and dropping temperatures is not followed by something I think is awful. In fact, winter is my second favorite month of the year, just behind autumn.

Someone needs to tell this idiot that winter and autumn are seasons, not months.  But what else can you expect from Type I Alt Right Beavis-and-Buttheaders?

I’m always amused by hypocrites who wax poetic about the joys of cold weather and winter, yet live in warmer areas of the country. Granted, Baltimore is not that warm, and does receive the ice that Zman complains about* (so, according to his own standards of behavior, we should all assume an attitude of autumnal schadenfreude over his fear of ice), but, still, it isn’t Maine or North Dakota. That’s similar to all the “movement” heroes and “rock stars” who live in diverse blue state coastal regions, but who regale us about how wonderful all those Mid-Western red state Whitopias are. Those areas are so very, very wonderful that these Type Is do all they can to avoid living there.

*Note to retard: Buy and use microspike shoe/boot crampons, and then walking on ice will be reasonably safe.
