A practical thing that could be done is demanding they live up to their own “rainbow constitution”.

Expand civil rights legislation to include political ideology etc.

The “Rodney King we’re all gonna fuckin’ get along Act”. Make it illegal to debank, deplatform etc. all of the “racists”.

This forced association would make it intolerable for the regime. (Imagine J.P. Morgan Chase being forced to do business with KMac for example.) This would make them receptive to separation.

That’s really the name of the game when you get down to it. Make their lives as miserable as they make ours. This is why I rarely if ever countersignal MAGAtards or even Q-tards. That’s why I’ll ride for Big Orange 🍊 for life. They all drive the people we want nothing to do with up the wall. That’s why January 6th was a win. That’s why the Trucker Protests were a win.

A large part of ultimate victory will be when the “rainbow constitution” respecters start demanding a divorce from us, rather than the one sided scenario we’re currently in.

This winter the media are actually going to run the Chernobyl 2.0 and nuclear war is no biggie narrative alongside the new scary omicron get your 12th booster narrative.

We must maintain the status quo, said the revolutionary. What about the pensioners?

(Arily) Russia naturally has many different ethnic groups because it's so big. (Seriously) But Ukraine's borders must be revised because it contains different ethnic groups.

During the Greg Johnson vs Mark Collett debate, Mark says Russia's invasion of Ukraine was a defensive move because NATO was going to place nuclear weapons on Russia's border.

The Baltic states are literally on Russia's border, and closer to St. Petersburg for sure and maybe Moscow as well than Ukraine is.

Did NATO place nuclear weapons in these countries? No. So how could Russia's invasion of Ukraine be a defensive war because NATO would place nuclear weapons in Ukraine, if NATO has not even placed nuclear weapons in the Baltics, despite the Baltics being full fledged NATO members for almost 19 years now?

When Greg brought up how pro-White organizations are banned in Russia to a far greater extent than in the West, Mark attempted to justify this by claiming that these were skinhead gangs who recorded themselves beating up and murdering non-Whites, and how they would be banned in any country, including National Socialist Germany.

He is no doubt referring to Tesak and the militant community he created, which he did by staging fake murder videos and the like. When people make this claim, ask them why Tesak was never charged with a violent crime, whereas he was charged with hate speech related crimes several times? Read this post of mine as well as this one to learn more about Tesak.

However, the claim that the only organizations banned in Russia are National Socialist is not true.

Slavic Union was a Russian National Socialist organization which was banned. However, at the same time that Slavic Union (SS) was in operation, there was another loosely connected organizations named The Union Against Illegal Immigration (DPNI). All the real NS in Russia at the time were in or connected to SS, with some participating with DPNI. SS were explicitly NS, whereas DPNI was simply opposed to non-Whites causing trouble in the streets of St. Petersburg and Moscow. DPNI was formed in the wake of several attacks on White Russians by non-White immigrants to Russia.

Both were banned. DPNI was not an explicitly National Socialist organization, DPNI did not make videos of themselves attacking non-Whites, the most that could be said was that DPNI "members" (it was more of a network than an organization with dues, membership lists, rules, hierarchy etc.) got into physical disputes with non-Whites. DPNI insisted its members follow the law. To claim that DPNI deserved to be banned is essentially to justify the American persecution of the Rise Above Movement. Both got into fights at political events, both got persecuted by the system. Will2Rise can exist in America quite openly, DPNI was banned and persecuted.

Eric Striker can get on stage in America and say that evil jews run the American government with the intention of destroying the White race, and that White people must awake. If he tried that in Russia, he would be lucky to just get expelled or jailed, he could potentially wind up like Tesak if he got too famous.

Here are some good articles on this topic, if you are interested in this then I also recommend reading my post "A brief history of Putin's persecution of White Nationalists", where far more articles and sources are included, including the role Dugin himself specifically played in destroying the Russian Ethno-Nationalist community.

Every time a celebrity draws attention to something, such as Kanye has done recently, I always see nationalists complaining that this person isn't "our guy", and because of that, they won't share it or talk about it. While I think it's wise to let people know why they shouldn't put all their faith in a celebrity, there's absolutely nothing wrong with publicising certain quotes or celebrating small wins or using certain people/events to our advantage.

Do I think we need permission from black people to speak positively about our race? No.

Is it frustrating that some people will listen to a celebrity but they won't listen to us? Yes.

But if people are listening, then it's stupid to throw an opportunity like that away. Times like this are the equivalent of us being handed a 'get out of jail free card'. Use it, enjoy it, and then let's get back to work.
