Earlier in 2024, Counter-Currents conducted the first ever internal poll of the movement with 540 respondents. This is the first in a series of reports detailing the findings, some of which will be published, others which will be reserved only for select movement leaders. The purpose of this report is to identify what types of people are most open to our ideas, how our ideas spread, what tactics work best on different types of people, and what are the most common barriers which need to be surmounted. Ideally, these results will facilitate the radicalization of specific individuals, as red-pillers will be able tailor their approach to match the characteristics of their targets.
It is likely that we will expand this poll to other mailing lists which may yield different results.
Key takeaways are summarized at the end of this report.
- Red Pill Trends
To study how people learn about our ideas, or become “red pilled” in internet language, we divided respondents into three general categories based on how long it took them to become red pilled: Immediately, Months, and Years. Respondents were divided almost evenly into thirds.
| 61a. From your first serious consideration of pro-white ideas, how much time did it take for you to fully accept pro-white ideas? | ||
| ALL | % | |
| Immediately | 181 | 33.5% |
| Months | 167 | 30.9% |
| Years | 192 | 35.6% |
| Total | 540 | |
A. Economics
Fewer respondents were upper middle class while growing up (for their childhood, they were allowed to select multiple options between poor, lower middle class, upper middle class, and wealthy due to how one’s socio-economic status can change over 18 years).
| 3. Parents’ income/economic class while you were a child | ||
| Total % | Immediate | |
| Poor | 11.9% | 11.6% |
| Lower Middle Class | 58.3% | 62.4% |
| Upper Middle Class | 39.3% | 32.0% |
| Wealthy | 1.9% | 2.8% |
For current economic class, slightly more respondents in the Years category are upper middle class at 49.2% compared to an average of 44.6% (for current economic class they were allowed to select only one option which best reflects their status at this time).
| 61a. From your first serious consideration of pro-white ideas, how much time did it take for you to fully accept pro-white ideas? | |||||
| % All | Poor | Lower Middle Class | Upper Middle Class | Wealthy | |
| Immediately | 33.5% | 35.0% | 34.5% | 31.3% | 50.0% |
| Months | 30.9% | 28.3% | 33.2% | 29.6% | 27.8% |
| Years | 35.6% | 36.7% | 32.3% | 39.2% | 22.2% |
This suggests that being upper middle class correlates with lower radicalization, but only slightly.
Interestingly, out of the 18 respondents who identified as being currently wealthy, half were red pilled immediately at 50%, while only 22.2% were red pilled over a matter of years. While these findings have less predictive value due to the small sample size of only 18 respondents, they are suggestive that the wealthy are good targets for radicalization.
B. Miscellaneous Characteristics
Currently living in a rural area correlated with a slight increase in immediately becoming red pilled while a suburban environment correlated with a slight increase in taking years to become red pilled compared to the poll baseline. It should be noted that a substantially higher number of respondents currently live in a rural area compared to the national average.
| 15. Would you describe your surroundings as: | |||||
| % US as of 2016 (all races) | Poll % | Immediate | Months | Years | |
| Urban | 31% | 26.6% | 27.1% | 25.3% | 27.2% |
| Suburban | 55% | 50.4% | 45.9% | 51.2% | 53.9% |
| Rural | 14% | 23.0% | 27.1% | 23.5% | 18.8% |
Most respondents were Nordic or Celtic. Celtic and Central European respondents had a moderate tendency to be red pilled within months rather than years or immediately, while Mediterranean respondents had a strong tendency to be red pilled immediately rather than in months or years. However, the smaller number of Central European and Mediterranean respondents lowers the predictive value of their respective findings.
| 22. How would you describe your subracial identity? | ||||
| % Poll | Immediate | Months | Years | |
| Nordic | 39.5% | 42.0% | 37.1% | 39.1% |
| Celtic | 25.8% | 25.4% | 30.2% | 22.6% |
| Mediterranean | 9.3% | 13.0% | 6.9% | 7.5% |
| Slavic | 4.7% | 3.6% | 2.6% | 7.5% |
| Baltic | 1.8% | 1.4% | 1.7% | 2.3% |
| Central European | 9.6% | 7.2% | 12.9% | 9.0% |
| Other | 9.3% | 7.2% | 8.6% | 12.0% |
82.6% of our respondents experienced a two-parent household while growing up. For comparison, 71% of all Americans had a two-parent household, not accounting for race.[1] [2]
| 27. Your family growing up (check all that apply): | ||||
| % Total | Immediate | Months | Years | |
| Two parent household | 82.6% | 79.4% | 90.2% | 79.6% |
| Single parent | 8.0% | 9.4% | 7.3% | 7.3% |
| Divorced parents | 18.1% | 17.2% | 15.2% | 21.5% |
| Foster home | 0.4% | 0.0% | 0.6% | 0.5% |
| Adoptive parents | 1.3% | 1.7% | 1.2% | 1.0% |
Growing up in a two-parent household correlated with a stronger chance of being red pilled within months, while having divorced parents correlated with taking years to become red pilled.
No other major socio-economic deviations were found.
C. Previous Political Identification
The following are respondent’s previous political identifications, broken down by how quickly they were red pilled, age, and socio-economic status:

| % All | Poor | Lower Mid Class | Upper Mid Class | Wealthy | |

Among zoomers, fewer are coming to our politics from mainstream conservatism, slightly more are already “far right,” and there has been a surprising uptick in those coming from communism and socialism but with a precipitous drop off in former generic liberals. Libertarianism remains a common previous political identification. This challenges the assumption that the old “libertarian to Alt Right” pipeline has completely dried up. While we only had 31 zoomer respondents, there results are still suggestive.
Surprisingly few wealthy respondents were formerly libertarian and none were formerly “far right” while many were formerly Alt Right or White Nationalist. Poor respondents were slightly more likely to be former anarchists or NRx, though they were still few in number. Poor respondents were also slightly less likely to have been mainstream conservative, and much less likely to have been paleo-conservative. The upper middle class had the highest number of former mainstream conservatives, paleo-conservatives, and libertarians.
D. Intelligence and Personality
We also categorized respondents by IQ if they had taken an IQ test, or by an analogous test score using percentiles if they had taken a test which correlates with intelligence. We broke respondents into several categories: Average (IQ 100-114), Above Average (115-129), Moderately Gifted (130-144) and Highly Gifted (145 plus). For reference, the average IQ of our test takers was 130, which is two standard deviations above the average of 100.
| 61a. From your first serious consideration of pro-white ideas, how much time did it take for you to fully accept pro-white ideas? | |||||
| IQ | |||||
| % All | Average | Above Average | Moderately Gifted | Highly Gifted | |
| Immediately | 33.5% | 51.6% | 27.2% | 27.5% | 37.3% |
| Months | 30.9% | 22.6% | 35.2% | 34.9% | 17.6% |
| Years | 35.6% | 25.8% | 37.6% | 37.6% | 45.1% |
Those with average intelligence were much more likely to be red pilled immediately. Those who were above average or moderately gifted were slightly less likely to be red-pilled immediately but with most of that drop being explained by a slight rise in the number who were red pilled over months. Those who were highly gifted were significantly more likely to be red pilled over years and significantly less over months with a slight increase in the immediately category. However, only 31 of our respondents were of average intelligence, and only 51 were highly gifted so their results have less predictive value.
A major gap in our poll findings are the characteristics of individuals with IQs under 100. This is a problem because a significant slice of the general public is in the 85-100 IQ range.
The OCEAN or “Big Five” test measures Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. The average US score for each category is 50. The average score of all poll respondents for Openness was 80.9, 62.8 for Conscientiousness, 44.3 for Extraversion, 52.5 for Agreeableness, and 49.5 for Neuroticism.
This strongly suggests that people who are highly open to experience as defined by “a general appreciation for art, emotion, adventure, unusual ideas, imagination, curiosity, and variety of experience” should be targeted.[2] [3]
Additionally, those who were red pilled immediately had a slightly lower-than-average neurotic score of 46.7, compared to a slightly higher score of 53.7 for those who took years. This implies that low neuroticism slightly correlates with learning about our ideas.
On the Myers-Briggs test, disproportionately more respondents had (T) Thinking combined with Intuitive (N) traits versus (F) Feeling and Observant (S) traits. INTJs, INTPs, and ENTJs were vastly over-represented compared to the general population, and ENTPs were over twice as common among our respondents than the general population.
| 71. What is your Myers-Briggs personality type? | |||
| % Poll | % General Population | ||
| INTJ | Architect | 46.3% | 2.1% |
| INTP | Logician | 18.5% | 3.3% |
| ENTJ | Commander | 10.7% | 1.8% |
| ENTP | Debater | 6.7% | 3.2% |
| INFJ | Advocate | 0.0% | 1.5% |
| INFP | Mediator | 3.0% | 4.4% |
| ENFJ | Protagonist | 1.7% | 2.5% |
| ENFP | Campaigner | 0.9% | 8.1% |
| ISTJ | Logistician | 0.0% | 11.6% |
| ISFJ | Defender | 1.5% | 13.8% |
| ESTJ | Executive | 2.0% | 8.7% |
| ESFJ | Consul | 0.9% | 12.3% |
| ISTP | Virtuoso | 5.4% | 5.4% |
| ISFP | Adventurer | 0.7% | 8.8% |
| ESTP | Entrepreneur | 1.5% | 4.3% |
| ESFP | Entertainer | 0.2% | 8.5% |
People whose personalities combine thinking over feeling combined with intuition over observation are prime targets for radicalization.[3] [4] These types tend to be highly competent people, and especially the INTJs. However, this strength is also a weakness because the fact that our personality rates are so different from the general populace may hinder effective outreach. One possible solution to this shortcoming is focus groups.
There was surprisingly little variation in Myers-Briggs personality type distribution across the different data sets which were analyzed.
Respondents who have seriously doubted or discarded pro-white ideas were significantly more likely to have taken years to become red pilled.
| 61a. From your first serious consideration of pro-white ideas, how much time did it take for you to fully accept pro-white ideas? | ||
| 67. Once you became pro-white, did you ever seriously doubt or discard pro-white ideas? | ||
| % All | Yes to Question 67 | |
| Immediately | 33.5% | 18.0% |
| Months | 30.9% | 26.0% |
| Years | 35.6% | 56.0% |
This emphasizes the need to focus on people who can be red pilled immediately or relatively soon rather than years, because those who take a long time are prone to reverting to their previous positions anyways.
Those who had seriously doubted our ideas had an average score of 55.5 out of 100 on the Conscientiousness part of the OCEAN personality test. While this was above the national US average of 50, it was also below the poll average of 62.8.
E. Religion
79.1% of our respondents had a Christian upbringing with hardly any variation across the red pill categories of Immediately, Months, and Years. However, only 41.4% currently identify as Christian. For comparison, 63-65% of US citizens are Christian.
9.7% of respondents had a religious primary education and this number dipped to 3.6% of those who were red pilled over a matter of months (a 62.9% decrease). Despite a small sample size, this suggests that formal Christian religiosity correlates with either being very open to or very resistant to our ideas with less of a middle ground. Thus, people with a more formal religious upbringing should be targeted for radicalization but attempts to red pill them should be abandoned if progress is not forthcoming.
| 18a. What are your current religious beliefs?: | ||||
| ALL | Immediate | Months | Years | |
| Atheist/agnostic | 32.3% | 30.6% | 34.8% | 31.9% |
| Christian | 41.4% | 41.1% | 39.0% | 44.0% |
| Traditionalist/perennialist | 10.4% | 10.6% | 11.0% | 9.9% |
| Jewish | 0.2% | 0.6% | 0.0% | 0.0% |
| Muslim (Sunni) | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% |
| Muslim (Shia) | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% |
| New Age | 1.3% | 1.1% | 2.4% | 0.5% |
| Hindu | 1.5% | 0.6% | 1.8% | 2.1% |
| Buddhist | 3.5% | 2.8% | 3.7% | 4.2% |
| Thelemite | 0.7% | 0.0% | 1.2% | 1.0% |
| Pagan (Asatru) | 12.5% | 13.9% | 14.0% | 9.9% |
| Pagan (Greco-Roman) | 3.9% | 5.6% | 2.4% | 3.7% |
| Pagan (other) | 7.1% | 8.9% | 9.1% | 3.7% |
| Wiccan | 0.2% | 0.0% | 0.6% | 0.0% |
| Other | 16.4% | 17.8% | 15.9% | 15.7% |
Respondents who are currently some form of pagan were more likely to be red pilled immediately or within months, and less likely to take years to red pill. However, this did not hold true for traditionalists/perennialists, who had very little variation in their red pill times.
Different Christian denominations had different red pill trends:
| Current Denomination | ALL Christians | Immediate | Months | Years |
| Catholic | 32.4% | 35.1% | 21.9% | 38.1% |
| Orthodox | 10.4% | 8.1% | 14.1% | 9.5% |
| Lutheran | 6.3% | 8.1% | 6.3% | 4.8% |
| Anglican/Episcopalian | 9.5% | 9.5% | 7.8% | 10.7% |
| Presbyterian/Reformed | 6.8% | 4.1% | 12.5% | 4.8% |
| Methodist | 1.8% | 0.0% | 4.7% | 1.2% |
| Baptist | 7.2% | 6.8% | 6.3% | 8.3% |
| Non-denominational | 14.0% | 16.2% | 14.1% | 11.9% |
| Mormon | 1.8% | 0.0% | 1.6% | 3.6% |
| Anabaptist | 0.9% | 2.7% | 0.0% | 0.0% |
| Swedenborgian | 0.9% | 2.7% | 0.0% | 0.0% |
| Christian Science | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% |
| Pentecostal | 0.5% | 1.4% | 0.0% | 0.0% |
| Unitarian | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% |
| Congregationalist | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% |
| Church of Christ | 0.5% | 1.4% | 0.0% | 0.0% |
| Disciples of Christ | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% |
| Nazarene | 0.5% | 0.0% | 1.6% | 0.0% |
| Seventh Day Adventist | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% |
| Jehovah’s Witness | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% |
| Quaker | 0.5% | 0.0% | 1.6% | 0.0% |
| Other | 10.8% | 13.5% | 12.5% | 7.1% |
Catholics (who were the most numerous at 32.4% of Christian respondents) tended to have become red pilled either immediately or within years. A similar but less pronounced trend was seen among Anglicans/Episcopalians. The opposite was true for Orthodox, Presbytrian/Reformed, and Methodist respondents who were more likely to have been red pilled within months rather than immediately or within years. Non-denominational respondents tended slightly towards being red pilled immediately or within months versus years.
Interestingly, 38.5% of Zoomers identified as Catholic and 30.8% as Orthodox. While zoomer respondents were few in number, this is suggestive of a shift towards Catholicism and Orthodoxy among the youth in our ranks.
Unlike whether respondents had a formal religious schooling, the intensity of respondents’ current religious beliefs had only a minimal correlation with how long it took them to become red pilled. Intense religious beliefs correlated with a tiny increase in taking years to red pill, while weak religious beliefs correlated with a tiny increase in being red pilled immediately. That this difference was so slight should dispel the notion that Christianity is incompatible with ethno-nationalism, at least in practice.
| 19. How would you rate the intensity of your religious beliefs or disbelief? | ||||
| Total % | Immediate | Months | Years | |
| Weak | 18.6% | 20.4% | 17.5% | 17.8% |
| Moderate | 48.5% | 45.3% | 50.6% | 49.7% |
| Intense | 26.4% | 24.3% | 25.9% | 28.8% |
| Don’t know | 6.5% | 9.9% | 6.0% | 3.7% |
F. Exposure to Diversity
We asked respondents how much diversity they were exposed to growing up. They could answer none, a little, some, or a lot:
| 42. Were you exposed to substantial racial diversity growing up? | ||||
| % All | Immediately | Months | Years | |
| None | 18.6% | 18.8% | 21.0% | 16.4% |
| A little | 36.5% | 29.3% | 41.3% | 39.2% |
| Some | 22.3% | 26.5% | 16.2% | 23.8% |
| A lot | 22.5% | 25.4% | 21.6% | 20.6% |
| 61a. From your first serious consideration of pro-white ideas, how much time did it take for you to fully accept pro-white ideas? | |||||
| Racial Diversity Growing Up | |||||
| % All | None | A Little | Some | A Lot | |
| Immediately | 33.5% | 34.0% | 27.0% | 40.0% | 38.0% |
| Months | 30.9% | 35.0% | 35.2% | 22.5% | 29.8% |
| Years | 35.6% | 31.0% | 37.8% | 37.5% | 32.2% |
Significantly more people who were exposed to “a little” diversity took months or years to red pill rather than immediately, and significantly more people who were exposed to “some” diversity were red pilled immediately rather than over the course of months or years. However, while those who were exposed to “a lot” of diversity were more likely to be red pilled immediately rather than months or years, that disparity was less pronounced than the “some” category.
This suggests that while reality can certainly radicalize people there are diminishing returns, and at some point, even a reversal. While vast amounts of diversity can certainly radicalize some whites, others may become hopeless, or even assimilate into and identify with non-white culture (the rapper Eminem comes to mind). This undermines the accelerationist standpoint that we can win through losing because worsening conditions will radicalize people for us.
- Red Pill Paths
A. Spokesmen, Platforms, and Media
The most common pro-white spokesman respondents encountered was Jared Taylor at about 20% (note: this does not account for alternate spellings, titles, etc. Future polls will direct respondents to use first name plus last name whenever applicable). The second most common was David Duke at 8.9%.
Jared Taylor was the spokesman most respondents said was the most influential pro-white spokesman they had encountered at 29.5%. The second was Greg Johnson at 14% (it should be emphasized that future polls of other mailing lists may yield different results).
24.1% of respondents reported that American Renaissance (combined with “AmRen”) was the first pro-white platform they had encountered. 9.3% said Counter-Currents, 8.8% Stormfront, and 4.7% VDare.
17.1% rated American Renaissance as the most influential pro-white platform they had encountered, as did 32.6% for Counter-Currents.
When we asked respondents to rate who they thought was the single first, second, and third most influential movement spokesman, they overwhelmingly selected Jared Taylor. 36.1% said that Jared Taylor was the most effective, 16.7% second most effective, and 8.2% third most effective. The respective numbers for Greg Johnson were 14.2%, 18.3%, and 8.9%.
These facts show the importance of unbanning Jared Taylor on X, formerly known as Twitter, and a campaign to pressure Elon Musk to unban him ought to be organized.
We also explored through what channels people became red pilled:
| 59a. Where did you first hear about pro-white ideas? | ||||
| % All | Immediately | Months | Years | |

A quarter of all respondents first heard about our ideas directly from our sources. However, there was a precipitous drop off in young people first hearing about our ideas through our sources with 20.5% of older Millennials, 15.8% of young Millennials, and only 3.2% of Zoomers selecting this option. This strongly suggests that we have both mastered spreading our ideas through other vectors and that we need to keep those vectors open.
Fewer people who were red pilled immediately at 8.3% heard about our ideas through YouTube and other video platforms, compared to more people who were red pilled over months at 20.4%. For comparison, the poll average for YouTube, etc. was 13.7%. Significantly more people who were red pilled immediately first heard about our ideas through the “Other” category at 23.8% (books, history, music, propaganda, and old school figures were common answers in the “Other” category).
Age cohorts had the greatest variation in answers. Youth correlated strongly with hearing about our ideas through YouTube and other video sharing platforms with 21.8% of Young Millennials and 32.3% of Zoomers selecting this answer, compared to a poll average of 13.7%. There was also a large spike in Young Millennials first hearing about our ideas via online discussion forums at 24.8%.
Almost twice as many Zoomers first heard about our ideas through Mainstream Leftist sources at 9.7%, almost double the poll average of 5.6%. This suggests that there may be some truth to the notion that there is no such thing as bad publicity, and that the media has tarnished their credibility through constant lying.
Over a quarter of Zoomers at 25.8% first heard about our ideas through friends and family, versus a poll average of 14.6%. This shows that red pilling people in real life is an effective form of activism. That this large spike among Zoomers followed a dip among young Millennials at 8.9% suggests that the movement was an extremely online phenomenon when young Millennials dominated it during the Alt Right era, and that it is now becoming more real life. This should also challenge the assumption that Zoomers are “terminally online.”
Additionally, 33.3% of wealthy respondents first heard about our ideas through friends and family. When combined with how 50% of wealthy respondents became red pilled immediately, this means that the movement should focus on networking with wealthy individuals so that they can be courted through in real life interactions.
- Barriers and Resistance
We asked respondents what were their major reservations and objections to our ideas and they could select multiple options. Top results were fear of social disapproval/ostracism at 31.6%, not all non-whites are like that (frequently abbreviated as NAXALT in online discourse) at 28.2%, and toxic/unappealing people at 24.5%. Respondents on average had 3.6 objections.

Zoomers had an average of 3.2 objections, young millennials 4.8, and old millennials 4.0.
Over a third of young millennials at 34% answered “too mean” which was over twice the poll average of 15.9%. However, only 9.7% of zoomers selected this option. This might be explained in part by either the toxicity of the previous Alt Right era, or that people have become desensitized to such concerns due to polarization and the left trading the velvet glove for a mailed fist. There was a similar trend with the option of “too extreme” “values and culture are more important than a common race” “toxic/unappealing people” and “too weird/cultish/antisocial.”
Only 3.2% of zoomers listed the Holocaust versus 10.1% of all respondents. This corroborates other findings that the Holocaust is losing its potency as a guilt trip, and especially among the youth.
More zoomers listed fear of social disapproval/ostracism at 38.7% compared to the poll average of 31.6%. Additionally, 6.5% of zoomers listed “too late” which is about half the poll average of 12.7%, most likely because they have no choice but to face the future. In a stark contrast, only 6.6% of all respondents and 3.3% of older millennials said “too hard to admit one is wrong” but this spiked to 12.4% of young millennials and 19.4% of zoomers.
Poor respondents had on average 3.9 objections, lower middle class 3.5, upper middle class 3.7, and wealthy respondents 3.1.

The top objection for the wealthy was toxic/unappealing people at 37.5%, which was much higher than the poll average of 24.5%. 25% of wealthy respondents also selected “won’t work/not practical.” Thus, to attract rogue elites we should focus on proposing concrete, workable solutions—which just so happens to be the focus of The Homeland Institute [5]. The movement has also made great strides in curtailing toxic people and behaviors, and should continue to do so.
For the upper middle class, the top objection was social disapproval/ostracism at 38.2% versus a poll average of 31.6%, and among the lower middle class the top reason was NAXALT at 28.7%. The top reason for poor respondents was toxic/unappealing people at 29.1%, closely followed by association with violence and totalitarianism at 27.3% which was significantly higher than the poll average of 18.7%.
In regard to exposure to diversity growing up, those who had none had 2.8 objections on average, a little 3.9, some 3.6, and a lot 3.8. This further buttresses the aforementioned-findings that too much exposure to diversity has diminishing returns and even a slight reversal past a certain point.

For those who had no diversity growing up the top objection was NAXALT at 25% followed closely by fear of social disapproval and “I am an individualist. I don’t see groups” at 21.7%. For those with a little diversity, the top objection was social disapproval at 36.1%. For those with some diversity, the top objection was NAXALT at 34.6%. For those with a lot, the top objection was toxic/unappealing people at 31.6% which was closely followed by fear of social disapproval at 29.9%.
Regarding IQ, those of average intelligence had 4 objections on average, above average 3.7, moderately gifted 3.6, and highly gifted 4. There is an interesting paradox in despite having more objections on average, respondents with average intelligence were significantly more likely to be red pilled immediately.

The top objection for those of average intelligence was NAXALT at a staggering 50%, compared to a poll average of 28.2%, followed by “I am an individualist. I don’t see groups” and fear of social disapproval, each at 39.3%.
For respondents of above average IQ the top objection was NAXALT at 30.4%, and for the moderately gifted, social disapproval at 38.7%.
For the highly gifted, the top objection was toxic/unappealing people at 35.4%, followed by fear of social disapproval at 31.3%, NAXALT at 29.2%, and too weird/cultish/antisocial at 29.2%. Interestingly, 25% of the highly gifted answered “too late” which was almost twice the poll rate of 12.7%.
Christians and atheists/agnostics both had an average number of 3.6 objections. However, there was some difference in their type of objections:

For those who were red pilled immediately, fear of social disapproval remained high as the top objection at 28.6%, only slightly less than the poll average. Social disapproval was also the top objection for those who took months at 28.6%, closely followed by NAXALT at 25.8%. Among those who took years, NAXALT was the highest at 37.6%, followed by social disapproval at 36.5%.
- Conclusion
Key takeaways:
- Half of wealthy respondents became red pilled immediately, and a third of them first heard about pro-white ideas through friends and family. Wealthy people are more likely to object to pro-white ideas on the grounds that they are impractical.
- Zoomers are more likely to have first contact with our ideas through video sharing platforms or through friends and family. Zoomers are much less likely to first hear about our ideas directly from our sources.
- Mediterranean respondents were the most likely to be red pilled immediately.
- As of now, among zoomers the number of former libertarians is not significantly lower. This may challenge the assumption that the old “libertarian to Alt Right” pipeline has completely dried up. There were fewer former mainstream conservatives and generic liberals among zoomers, however.
- Slightly over half of respondents of average intelligence (IQ 100-114) were red pilled immediately despite having more objections on average. That NAXALT (not all non-whites are like that) was the top objection among respondents of average intelligence suggests that countering NAXALT would yield the best results in radicalizing the general public.
- On the Myers-Briggs test, disproportionately more respondents had (T) Thinking combined with Intuitive (N) traits versus (F) Feeling and Observant (S) traits.
- On the OCEAN test, respondents were significantly more Open, somewhat more Conscientious, and slightly more Introverted than the general population.
- Jared Taylor and American Renaissance were highly rated as both respondents’ first exposure to pro-white ideas and as the most effective in spreading those ideas. Thus, a campaign to restore Jared Taylor’s X/Twitter account should be a priority.
- Christianity does not interfere with people becoming red pilled. However, there are different red pill trends across Christian denominations, and Christians tend to have different objections than Atheists/agnostics.
- Exposure to diversity while growing up tends to correlate with radicalization, but past a certain point there are diminishing returns and even a slight reversal.
- The top three barriers to our ideas overall were fear of social disapproval/ostracism, NAXALT, and toxic/unappealing people.
