Odds and Ends, 1/24/20

Various issues.  In all cases, emphasis added.

Very cognitive, very elite.

He is the intelligent man of action, the taciturn, unflappable Nordic explorer.

Yes, you know, like Magellan.  Note that Johnson originally wrote that for the Jew HBD Unz site.  Once again, the ethnonationalist-HBD-Nordicist alliance is on display.  Sallis: Always right.

So if White Nationalists aren’t quite ready for politics, how do we prepare ourselves?

Assuming the conclusion. Nothing stops "White nationalists" getting involved right now in politics in a variety of ways - running for office in the right contexts, getting involved in the political campaigns of right-wing populists, etc.

We must identify the necessary conditions for becoming a political force. Then we must assemble those conditions, to the best of our ability. We must begin with things that we can do right now, and we must prepare ourselves to do harder things in the future.

Give dem "D'Nations."  "Trevor Lynch" needs to go to the movies. Tickets are expensive.

Let’s begin with the obvious. If White Nationalism is going to be a political force, we need more White Nationalists.

That's the type of sterling political analysis that justifies you guys funding Counter-Currents to the tune of $100,000 in the past year.

To change people’s minds, we need to know their minds. We need to understand the ideas and values of people who are already White Nationalists, and the ideas and values of people who might be converted to White Nationalism. Then we need to map out how to bring the latter into our camp. We also need to understand the ideas and values of our enemies, if we are to decrease their opposition to us. Armed with such knowledge, we could launch educational campaigns that would move us closer to our goals.

I've been saying for years that we need information, we need empiricism, and have advocated opinion polling and serious analysis to understand why people join, why others do not, and how we can retain the former and recruit the latter.  None of this is going to happen if large amounts of "D'Nations" money is being funneled to useless tragicomic Quota Queen affirmative action "leadership" losers.

One could argue, of course, that we have been doing a pretty good job without such knowledge. 

Only a grifting fraud would argue that.

Based simply on introspection and personal experience, a lot of us have become quite skilled at converting people. Furthermore, the rising traffic of various movement websites can be taken as testament to this success.

Absolute nonsense. Where are all these new recruits?  Does this "leader" actually "think" that "rising traffic" actually translates into actual followers?

But how much of this rising traffic is due to our outreach, and how much of it is due simply to the problems endemic to multiculturalism and globalization?

Most likely: Former - none, latter - all.  Let's do the polling and find out.

How much is rising white ethnocentrism due to our persuasive pull, as opposed to the system’s dystopian push? 

Most likely: Former - none, latter - all.  Let's do the polling and find out.

That is another question that we really need to answer if we are to become serious contenders for power.

How about opinion polling, instead of this?  It's a zero sum game for the available money in Der Movement. Use it in a manner analogous to an intelligent investment, or waste it on "happy penguins."  Your choice.

To do a serious study of the public mind, we need to create an institution, staff it with people with the necessary skills, and fund their studies.

To do such things, we need serious leadership, not a bunch of incompetent affirmative action grifters.

We also need some sort of institute to craft White Nationalist positions on public policy issues.

Hey!  I thought we had the NPI!  The Charles Martel Society!  What happened?

No matter what the outcome of the election..

Hey!  I thought that Greg thinks that “Trump is toast no matter what” and then the “race war” will kick in.

…we can emerge as the champions of the more than sixty million mostly white people who voted for Trump in 2016 and may show up again in 2020. Thus we should comport ourselves accordingly.

Thus: Scream "Kek!" while chugging gallons of milk.

It is fortunate that the 2020 election is a golden opportunity for presenting our ideas, since it is all we really can do at present. If we want our votes to matter someday, we need to start building the institutions necessary to turn truth into power.

Sure!  How to begin - dump the current "leadership" and elevate people to leadership based on their merit, ideas, abilities, and accomplishments, instead of them being of Anglo/Germanic/Scandinavian ancestry.

Yes, indeed, he is – a neurotic nitwit.
