Who cares if they are going to reflexively call you Nazis or KKK, that’s a specious argument. If you are actively policing your ranks and “counter signalling” bad apples in the run up, you immunize yourself with fair minded people.
When you take a see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil stance, you become culpable for anything that happens in your ranks: violence, murder, “white sharia now” etc.
It would be incredible “optics” if, say, at NPI 2016 Spencer chastised the seig-heilers from the podium, or some other notable ripped down some plant or buffoon’s Nazi flag.
Torches, body armor, shields, etc are HORRIFIC optics. It’s not about what pleases you, if torches do, but what will affect the change in the world we want. If what you say is true, and this is a war of annihilation, none of us has the right to do stupid, counter-productive things again and again and again! Stand on solid ground – Civic Nationalism and Trump – and try to consolidate the ground we captured in 2016. Overreach is killing us in this annus horribilis! If we can accomplish some things under Civic Nationalism, we can go on the offensive later from a much stronger position. This is a multi-generational struggle!
The best video about Charlottesville:

Here is something which would be useful: have a website which gives the status of various Alt Right websites which have been shut down (and why), and URLS to which they have relocated.
For example, SBPDL seems to be offline. Was this denial of service, or just a reorganization of their format?
Given the current chaos, such a website would be invaluable.
“What will happen when city leaders are put on oath?”
They’ll blame their decision on faulty intel like the W Bush adminstration.
Get them taped bragging about this set up.
What I’d start to do is try to record these fucking arseholes gloating about the stitch up. What they did had to take serious planning. Color revolution stuff. Send in a honeypot sting etc etc.
In regard to Yockey and Schmitt, the latter had Imperium in his library, so one might assume the two were in contact. That Schmitt is not mentioned by name in Imperium is, i think, because he was, like Heidegger et al still being subjected to ‘denazification’ and any such references would not have done him any favours. Yockey cites many influences on his thinking and it does not seem plausible that plagiarism would be a motive for not mentioning Schmitt by name.
Circa 2004 When the Wellington branch of the NZ National Front was very active , flash demos were being held about once a week, without any Leftist ability to react – an NF national rally having previous been subjected to a similar scenario as Charlottesville. In fact, after the Left had been boasting of ‘chasing the NF out of Wellington, ‘ the Wellington branch were back in the same place the following weekend. The drawback is that these dozens of events over a short period were blacked out by the media – one senior journalist, Jonathan Milne – commenting to me at the time that unless there was violence, the media would not be interested. But now with alternative media in the hands of the Right, there is a good measure of self-reliance.
Augustus Invictus needs to talk about Thelema and our European religious traditions more, and politics less.
Everyone and his uncle has an opinion on politics, but not everyone has the experience of the OTO initatory structure and occultism / paganism that ASI does.
