I’m going to start this article by making a counter-intuitive point: I believe in a universal common humanity that binds all people. I have met people from all over the world. I have laughed and joked with them, and broken bread. When you meet people of different backgrounds you come to see what is the same in all of us. And this is true not just geographically and culturally but also historically. How else can someone like me make sense of the writings of a twelfth-century monk? (If you’re wondering: Otto of Freising.) How else can a modern Japanese man understand and enjoy a play written by a bloke from Stratford-upon-Avon circa 1603? Aristotle wrote of anger over 2320 years ago:
Master Turnipseed's recent video on confederacies speaks to how this would look organizationally.
For those who consider building parallel institutions a waste of time: Who do you think we are building them for? That's right, ourselves...our own people.
Forget about the existing institutions, don't try to 'take over' existing institution, don't even try to create 'parallel institutions'. Its way to early for that.
Just start organizing yourself, your family and a circle of like minded individuals at the local level -in person!.
When you get that done, chances are people will come to you for advice.
We are all equal in dignity before God. Simple as. We should desire that all groups can thrive and strive for virtue and the transcendent. How people think that means you should let your family, tribe and nation be oppressed by another is beyond me.
Based ‘stack, I have but one miscarriage of mind to offer you. You are reading translated works, even if it is in Persian, and I know for a fact that you can speak some of it and maybe even read the ancient texts, the original language possesses its own ebbs and bends that are only comprehensible to a particular reader, to the inhabitant of that particular area and time. When I translate things from Italian or English to my Russian dad, I find myself being unable to pass on some evasive meanings that cradle every word. When I translate Russian to English or Italian, I have to change or expand certain passages considerably. Simple things that resonate brightly in a Russian or Sicilian mind, are rendered dim in an Anglo’s norf sized head if translated literally. Doesn’t Spengler’s Big Book of Based History accentuate that point, giving it almost half of its “runtime”?
Very interesting AA. Lots of food for thought and questions there for anyone wishing to become active in any way. The first questions before taking any step should , in all seriousness be put to ones self. What do I think I have to offer that would be of any use; what do I really think we are , or, would be up against? To paraphrase a Peterson line; it's no joke man. And no, It really isn't a joke. Well , that's as far as I've got right now.
I kind-of cringe out when I hear "become active in any way".
While in itself unspecific, it does remind me of political activism, which -imo- is precisely what we should NOT do.
You do not have to think of "who we are", or "what can I offer". The questions will answer them self if you create a self-sustaining life first.
As long as we personally depend on the functioning system of our opponents we will never ever get any where. First we have to detach from the system -on the personal level- as best as we can.

I totally support this conclusion.
Forget about the existing institutions, don't try to 'take over' existing institution, don't even try to create 'parallel institutions'. Its way to early for that.

Wasn't it Tolkien who said that language transmits culture?
He also said that is why Esperanto will fail. It has no history, stories, songs.

JMHO.
Alex Jones had been leaning into elite theory frameworks lately. His network is becoming fertile ground for expanding the counter-elite message.
