I have long believed that there are many different types of thinkers. Isaiah Berlin famously identified just two: the hedgehog and the fox. The hedgehog sees the world through one lens, a single-defining idea, while the foxes draw on a much wider variety of experiences. While there is a great deal of truth to this, I feel as if it does not go far enough. For example, Gaetano Mosca seems a fox by nature, his view of history is poly-causal, he always takes into account a wide variety of factors in his analysis. However, he was a monomaniac, which is to say, he had an almost pathological obsession with a single idea, his thesis of The Ruling Class. Vilfredo Pareto, on the other hand, was much more of a hedgehog, a system-builder, but was also a polymath who not only basically invented modern sociology, but also was a world-famous economist who founded his own school. In other words, Mosca had a fox-like approach to the world but focused on just a single thing, while Pareto had a hedgehog-like approach but focused on many different things.
Almost all "right-wing" content from my two decades of being a normie consisted of one thing: pointing at something and saying how ridiculous it was. Never figuring out how to defeat or stop it. Just years and years of shaking your head and saying "total clownworld am I right?" as if Cthulhu swimming left was just as out of our control as the weather or the movements of the planets. They're not. Everything that has happened since Anno Domini MCMXLV (and earlier if Moldbug is to believed, and much much earlier if Evola is to believed) has been purposely created, in whole and/or in part, by an accumulation of actual human beings. They don't want us to realize everything we despise about modernity is caused by people (who have names and addresses) not by pieces of paper, not vague "movements" or "the zeitgeist". As the saying goes: if it can bleed, we can kill it.
Ironically, less than a year after this was posted, the below is exactly what the AA & Parvinisphere had morphed into:
"One thing we do not need, however, are entertainers. I am talking about the Tim Pool character who simply reacts to the news and tells the audience some reflection of what they want to hear or feel....
We need people to make art and culture but we do not need clowns....
Memes serve a utility as efficient and effective propaganda but no one should ever mistake them as the reason to be around these sorts of circles. If you’re ‘in it for the memes’ alone, you’re not a serious person.....
A movement which is primarily political cannot and should not substitute for a friendship group, although I do encourage people to make friends in real life."

The key is in identifying those centers of gravity that, if made to bleed, will collapse the enemy system.
I’m a disciple to AA given the fact that to be any other thinker would require me to read more. Either that or I’m not a thinker at all.
