There are recent polls that indicate that 10% of Americans agree with the political positions of the Alt Right. We can assume that the actual percentage is even greater given the reluctance of many people to be forthright about holding white nationalist political views. This is an extraordinary increase in popularity for a political movement that until just recently had been virtually unknown by the vast majority of Americans.
The Russian collusion narrative has collapsed; the Charlottesville narrative has collapsed; every false narrative that the Cathedral has put forward has collapsed or is on the verge of collapse. The Democrat Party deliberately and openly abandoned the white race and will never be able to regain its trust; as such, the Democrats have become a minority party of the two coasts, consisting of an untenable coalition of rival minority groups that are diminishing in size: the negroes through negro-on-negro violence; the mestizos through deportation; and white liberals through non-reproduction. The Democrat Party is in a bad way financially and is soon to be enmeshed in a major security scandal centered on Debbie Wasserman Schultz and dozens of her fellow Democrat congressmen who outsourced their computer security to a family of Muslims of very questionable loyalty. Now is the time for the Alt-Right to make a major push towards prominence and mainstream acceptability. Here are my suggestions for the next steps that we should take.
(1) Always be on the offensive. Never forget that we are engaged in a death struggle. The Left really wants to destroy us. They want the white race to die off. They openly admit it. We need to destroy the Left intellectually, politically, and physically (in the sense of the Hoppean mantra of physical removal). Our cause is not only just, it is self-evidently moral, and this morality should be forcefully stated every day. There should be no day that goes by when the Left is not confronted with serious and numerous challenges by the Alt-Right. The Left should never be allowed to relax for one minute.
(2) A white civil rights legal defense organization needs to be established as soon as possible. Whenever any political action is taken by any Alt-Right or white nationalist organization, it needs to be accompanied by a phalanx of dedicated lawyers. At Charlottesville, there should have been lawyers on the spot to document, collect evidence, and draw up lawsuits for every illegal action taken by Antifa and the Charlottesville mayor, city council, and police department. There should have been a lawsuit filed immediately against any business that denied service to rally attendees. Many of these lawsuits would have been successful; some would not. But the Left needs to know that it will suffer financially if it violates the civil rights of white people. Even an unsuccessful lawsuit will be a financial burden on the Left and a financial boon to our movement. Every public university that denies permission for Alt-Right and white nationalists to appear needs to be sued immediately.
(3) A white nationalist lobbying organization needs to be established that will represent the specific interests of the white race in Washington, DC and the various state capitals. We need to remind politicians that if they refuse to represent the interests of the white race they will suffer at the ballot box. Furthermore, we need to normalize the idea that white people have their own specific interests and that these interests are entirely legitimate.
(4) We need to establish the White Nationalist equivalent of the SPLC. We need an organization that is a clearinghouse for information about organizations and individuals that are opposed to the interests of the white race. These groups and individuals need to be identified and shamed, and campaigns need to be initiated to defund and bankrupt anyone who opposes white interests and white civil rights. An important part of this organization’s work should be dedicated to exposing the intellectual corruption and anti-white animus that is endemic to the American educational establishment. We can do great damage to the Cathedral by exposing the corruption in higher education. Already the University of Missouri and Evergreen College are experiencing extreme financial hardship as their corruption becomes public. Corrupt professors need to be exposed to the point that their employment becomes untenable. For example, one professor in the English faculty of Ole Miss uses her Shakespeare “scholarship” to promote and normalize bestiality (or as she terms it, “inter-species eroticism”) One can’t imagine that the taxpayers of Mississippi approve of state funds to support bestiality proselytizing. There are hundreds of examples of this in higher education that can be used to red pill normies and defund the Left.
(5) There need to be greater coordination and regular consultation among the various organizations of the White Nationalist community. We do have limited resources and they need to used wisely. We can also work more effectively if the leaders of the various groups are kept abreast of each other’s activities.
(6) Donald Trump made an excellent point during the presidential campaign when he criticized Obama’s habit of publicly revealing military strategy and tactics. The element of surprise is essential in both war and politics. If we’re going to have a rally somewhere, Antifa should not know about it until after it has happened.
(7) Enough already with the intergenerational animus. Yes, X-Gens and Millennials think that Boomers are civic nationalist cucks and Boomers think that X-Gens and Millennials are lazy, entitled snowflakes, but these stereotypes do not obtain among our ranks. Each generation has much to offer in our struggle. X-Gens and Millennials have energy, spirit, and an innate understanding of modern technology that is extremely important. We Boomers have experience, historical perspective, and money. We also have the advantage of having won the Cold War, a 45-year struggle that was every bit as much of an existential crisis as the one we are currently experiencing. Sure, there are self-absorbed Boomers, but most of my generation are extremely worried about the world we are leaving behind for our children and grand-children, and frankly, we are not going to tolerate having won the Cold War just to have that victory pissed away in a multicultural nightmare.
(8) Never accept the premises of the other side’s argument. Make the Left accept our terms of argumentation.
(9) Many people in our community are uncomfortable with the tactics of Andrew Anglin and Christopher Cantwell. Nevertheless, their civil rights are being violated not because they are vulgar, but because they are white. The typical poster on The Daily Kos says things a hundred times more vulgar than anything that appears on The Daily Stormer or Radical Agenda, but vulgar leftists are not subject to doxxing, deplatforming, and unconstitutional denial of bail. Anglin and Cantwell’s cases are of vital importance to us. They are the vanguard of a white civil rights revolution whose ultimate goal should be the overturning of all affirmative action legislation and a restoration of the constitutional right of free association.
(10) It goes without saying that developing alternative online payment systems, cryptocurrencies, social media, and a non-mediated internet infrastructure is of vital and immediate importance. Fortunately, there appears to be a lot of work going on in this area that will soon come to fruition. In the meantime, checks and money orders work just fine. White people defeated the greatest empire the world has known to create this country; white engineers designed the Apollo rockets using slide rules; certainly white Americans of 2017 have enough agency to fill out a check, put a stamp on an envelope, and mail it.

We are profoundly grateful for the outpouring of generosity from a large number of readers. But we need to hear from all of you. Especially from our monthly donors. Please renew today.
Winter is coming for white advocacy. We must be industrious ants, building up capital and bracing ourselves for further attacks and deplatforming. We can no longer be happy-go-lucky grasshoppers, depending on the kindness and fair play of capitalists. Fear not, we will never quit. But we need to build new institutions, an integrated electronic ethnostate offering everything from domain registration to webhosting to DDOS protection to mailing list management — all controlled by our movement. This is a huge task, and we obviously should have started building it years ago. But when you donate, you are helping us build it today.
Thank you for your loyal readership and generosity.

This is a very positive list of suggestions. Morality, in a superior, non-religious meaning of this term, is an important point, not only to attract people who are actually worthy, but to be able to command respect from the enemies who will always be cautious about a foe which has a firm moral standing and is as such perceived as incorruptible and inexorable.
Obviously, not everyone within the movement possesses capacity for such morality, and hence, this should be the task and duty of more sturdy characters
“Enough already with the intergenerational animus. Yes, X-Gens and Millennials think that Boomers are civic nationalist cucks and Boomers think that X-Gens and Millennials are lazy, entitled snowflakes, but these stereotypes do not obtain among our ranks.”
This.
His gutsy humor and incisive wit notwithstanding, Andrew Anglin’s constant boomer bashing comes to mind. One of his recent articles incited such a frenzy of rabid anti-boomer vitriol among his young commenters that even boomers who were loyal readers and financial contributors felt they would be ill advised to attend a Daily Stormer book club meeting. Readers were told repeatedly that boomers were more loathsome than Jews, should be barred from active or visible roles in the WN movement (other than to contribute money), and deserve to be shot on sight when the time comes.
For the record I hope AA can keep his site alive on the deeper net, but I no longer enjoy his site.
All very sensible suggestions in a somewhat sane society. But I fear you underestimate the Left’s insanity.
Their tolerance for dissent and adversity is so low that, as soon as we begin implementing these measures with any success (especially point 2, White civil rights), they will start attacking us physically, with a frequency and intensity that would make any peaceful strategy untenable for us.
Once de-platforming is no longer possible, does anyone have any doubt they will start with Clinton style assassinations? So point 11) should be “prepare for this cold civil war to grow hot, fast.”
“The Russian collusion narrative has collapsed; the Charlottesville narrative has collapsed”
No. I think even among fairly liberal leaning normies “Russia” was beginning to be silently regarded as a conspiracy theory. To believe in the Russia-theory of Trump is either to have truly drank the kool-aid or to believe is its tactical usefulness as propaganda. Cville is another thing entirely. It has really yet to really dawn on the alt-right just how much of a blunder they committed at Cville. Because things haven’t gone 100% against them, they declare victory and learn nothing. Because Trump essentially bailed them out, not something they could do under their own steam. Trump did so at considerable cost to himself and anyone who says they don’t have any stake in Trump is just revealing just much *more* delusional they are. They have managed to put their counter message out to a tiny minority regarding Cville, so “the narrative is collapsing”. This sort of “we are winning” talk is fine for comment section skirmishers, but let’s get real here. The public perception of Cville has been nothing short of a disaster for the alt-right. These people actually feel that they have been vindicated because the mean old police and media lied to or about them. Which should have surprised exactly no one. The phrase that rings in my head was the line that Mike Enoch repeated over and over again in the wake of salutegate: “This was always going to happen.”
I agree with your assessment of Charlottesville, Aaron. I should be very interested to see any support at all for the claim that the “narrative has collapsed”; in all of the mainstream articles I have glimpsed, the “narrative” is very much alive and well.
Your point to my mind is dead on: nothing can be gained from Charlottesville by now except an education on how never to repeat the same mistakes as were made at Charlottesville. But we will lack even the incentive to learn from those mistakes if we refuse to acknowledge that they were mistakes.
Well obviously the media isn’t going to admit their narrative has collapsed and therefore their slaves still believe. But Heather Heyer died of a heart attack. And the girl sliding down the hood of Field’s car was another fat girl. In other words, when the media talked about Heyer and showed that image, it was a lie. It will come out in court and Fields is going to get off light if Justice prevails.
So the Narrative has collapsed among the intelligent and the well informed.
“So the Narrative has collapsed among the intelligent and the well informed.”
Which to my eyes means it has not collapsed at all. If the media is not made to acknowledge the errors of its “narrative,” or at least to change that “narrative” appreciably in its public presentation, then it remains precisely—the narrative.
This is a good piece. Many of the things I’ve been thinking about since CV are addressed in this article.
We all swim in the same current.
Recognizing that any future ethno state will consist of a variety of Whites from all regions, religions and all walks of life is step one. If you are explicitly a White Nationalist, we swim in the current of resistance. We don’t need to agree on everything.
The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in combat.
I would like to see a proper tactical assessment of what happened in CV, from our side. I wasn’t there. I wanted to be – I planned to be – but I had an accident which sidelined me with a severely broken leg about a week before UTR. So, I’ve only read or heard individual accounts and viewed posted videos. I was watching live streams during the event and followed events as they unfolded – as much as I could. While there are all kinds of radio programs about aspects of U.T.R. there isn’t anything concrete.
I would like to suggest the next U.T.R. be held somewhere where there is no potential for Antifa style disruption allowing everyone to learn and work together. The shield-bearers are heroes and from what I could see they need to be brought together for a day, maybe a weekend, and drilled so even an assembled column of riot police cannot disperse the group into danger. Even ranks, 40 inches apart, no stragglers, no selfie sticks – no I phones. Close, solid ranks are impressive and would have made Antfia and WVSP and CPD think twice about trying to disperse the formation.
Group defense strategy. Protect OUR people first.
Force protection is ALWAYS paramount. You never put anyone in harm’s way without a solid plan to protect everyone, not just the folks in your specific group. Obviously, these separate groups worked together well enough to ensure we had no fatalities, the opposition did…it’s a win…but we were lucky.
We need to recognize that our human material is our most important asset. We need to remember that quality is more important than quantity. True Cadre cannot be mass produced. They are carefully developed over years. Since Cadre cannot be created on demand waiting for an emergency before they are developed is foolhardy and short-sighted.
“Pack for Murphy.”
I had a First Sergeant once who drilled one thing into us over and over: “men, you might as well leave one pouch in your rucks empty for Mr. Murphy so he’s comfortable because he’s coming with you whether you leave room for him or not.” And, “Every good Infantryman has a contingency plan.” Both sayings were my First Sergeant’s way of teaching us about Clausewitz’s concept of “Friction.”
In Book 1 Chapter 7 of On War Clausewitz describes “Friction in War.”
“…enormous friction, which is not concentrated, as in mechanics, at a few points, is therefore everywhere brought into contact with chance, and thus facts take place upon which it was impossible to calculate, their chief origin being chance…”
In other words, Friction is universal. It can be macro; weather slows down the advancing army delaying them so they arrive at the field of battle late. Friction can also be micro; an individual soldier’s blister can slow down his platoon causing them to arrive late to the battle. Weather, sickness, dumb lieutenants… Antifa, Virginia State Police you name it. The only way you can minimize or possibly counter friction is through experience and constant training.
“Two jars.”
I like adventures so I like adventurers. Especially when they press the envelope. There’s a B.A.S.E. jumper/wingsuit guru named Jeb Corliss who I like a lot. Every time he does his “job” there’s a real chance he’ll be killed. In B.A.S.E. jumping they call this “going in.” Jeb says we all start everything thing with two jars. One is our experience jar, the other is our luck jar.
When we begin a new endeavor our experience jar is empty, we know it’s empty because it’s clear, we can see in it. As we grow and learn this experience jar fills up with chips. Our luck jar is not clear. We can’t see inside of it and have no idea how many chips are in it. We can reach into the luck jar when we need to but at some point – our luck will run out. When we are lucky enough to have a chip in the luck jar we pull it out and then drop it in the experience jar. The idea is to pull from your experience jar, not your luck jar. In other words; make lady luck your friend, not your partner.
In Charlottesville “we” pulled one from the luck jar. Before anymore large scale public demonstrations are held the key individuals and group leaders need to schedule a weekend somewhere secluded and protected to train, network and plan.
The reference to the praise-worthy “shield-bearers” at CV reminded me of the “hypaspists” (translated as “shield-bearers”) who were the elite Macedonian infantry unit of Philip and Alexander the Great. Their shield emblem was the Macedonian Sunburst, also called the Vergina Sun or the Argead Sun, which usually had eight or sixteen rays. It was a very popular symbol in the Greek world circa 600-200 B.C., partially replacing the more archaic and angular, and less esthetically pleasing, swastika as a sun symbol. Apollo, as the sun-god, was frequently portrayed with a halo-like sunburst crown, as was Louis XIV, the “sun-king,” 2,000 years later.
The symbol has been resurrected to some extent in modern Greece, and even more so in Macedonia, adding some modern political baggage to its original symbolism of the sun and, some say, of eternal life, but its resurrection as a shield emblem is worth considering.
And perhaps train in using the shield as a weapon since the Police may well be more stringent in enforcing a no weapons policy against us than the Antifa.
And holding them up can in a shield wall can be exhausting. What kind of exercise builds that kind of endurance? I suppose just practice holding it up to build that kind of muscle.
