Came across this and found it spot on point, well stated, and positive.

One of the problems with a largely online “movement” is that “leaders” are often determined by whoever can grab the mic and shout the loudest and the longest. This means that “leaders” become nearly synonymous with “content creators” or “e-celebs” or whatever the current lingo is.
As such, the ability to be successful in the real world becomes less and less a factor in whom people decide to listen to. It’s no longer required or expected that one elevated to a leadership position show any aptitude for strategy or diplomacy, or even that they are just relatively successful in their own personal lives, like being able to hold down a job or have a good reputation within their community. Even the most bare minimum requirements have been abandoned, to our overall detriment.
Instead, the natural human tendency is to gravitate to whomever or whatever stimulates their dopamine receptors. And similar to housewives hooked on daytime soaps, much of the dissident right is hooked on those who can produce a reliable and steady stream of drama or gossip. It's not activism; it's entertainment. Let's not kid ourselves on that.
There’s a certain “idiocracy” that seems to be taking hold. And I don’t mean that in the sense that any of the guilty parties are unintelligent, but that there is an increasing taste for low culture and plebeian vice within the DR, which is being encouraged by those “leaders” who reap some sort of profit from it- not necessarily financial, but also things as simple as basic ego aggrandisement. In any case, there is SOME kind of payoff for all involved.
There is probably no real solution to this, since human nature is what it is, and so it will always be something that is around. But individually, we can certainly all choose whose voices we allow into our mental space.
How you determine that is up to you. I personally tend to avoid two types of people
1) those who are frequently engaged in public disputes with others (especially if they are typically the one in the role of provocateur, which in many cases will be the person who spergs out on purity spiralling and needs to "call out" what they believe are "bad ideas") and
2) those who often find themselves at the centre of drama, claiming victim status (whether legitimate or manufactured- both are equally concerning for different reasons).
I don't look for nor expect perfect people (I'm certainly not one myself!) but I do look for people who, more often than not, are striving for unity rather than division, whose primary focus is on doing their own work well rather than criticising others' ideas and projects. Those are my two basic qualifications in assessing someone's leadership qualities. I like people who are positive stewards of their ideas and who embody qualities I wish I had in myself.
From a Traditional perspective, leadership is a regal thing and is associated with the immovable and immutable quality of the sun. He shines out his solar light regardless of what happens around him. The leader is not a rabble-rouser or a drama queen, nor does he pander to the mob- not for clicks, not for money, not for praise. His principles are what they are, take it or leave it.
None of this is intended to make anyone feel called out, but merely to provide points for reflection for everyone, whether true leader, self-appointed leader, leader-wannabe, or dutiful follower.

Make no mistake: in each generation, there is a great and awful battle that is always occurring.
In some generations, the banks of this ongoing struggle will burst, and it will erupt into the physical conflict that men call “war.”
In others, this conflict will be hidden in plain sight - a bitter engagement against sinister forces that would destroy not only our bodies, but erode, degenerate and ultimately erase our culture completely.
There are some who wish to have been born in another time, or who see this fight as “lesser.”
They are wrong.
Our battle is even more critical, and must be fought with a valiance that they will seek to grind down daily through sheer attrition.
The artillery and armaments they use are baleful - poisons that infect the mind and soul and turn allies against each other, and offer the narcosis of pleasure at every turn.
And yet, ours are stronger still - they are the sword of truth and the radiant armor of loyalty.
Never give up.
We will win in the end.

I have close to a dozen of these books, and they remain my most prized possessions.
Not simple journals, but a living chronicle of more than two decades of studies into the esoteric, specifically runework, sigils, and exercises/concepts of personal transformation.
They feel like old friends for me, trusted advisors I’ve returned to for advice and to set me correctly on my course again when I’ve lost my bearings.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be scanning some of them, updating other parts and editing, and preparing a printed public offering of some parts of them for you to use, explore, and interact with.
These will be less in the style of my usual explanatory work (although some sections, by nature of them being notation of specific subject or topic will still offer exposition), and act more as an immersive and highly visual experience to inspire and perhaps inspire your own work and studies.
This will be a grimoire in a very real sense of the word, there for you to mine, alter, and build onto.

Those interested in a more instructive dive into the runes can utilize my VITAL ELEMENTS video course.
It covers nearly 5 hours of material, and walks through the mythos surrounding the runes, their world, and their functional uses.

Our position on this has never changed.
Our detractors are welcome to hold up yet another rotting carcass held up by the ligatures of controlled opposition, lies, and the people’s own victimized weeping and gnashing for a savior…
We will continue to reject any solution presented by modern politics or any modern political system.
Look to yourselves and each other, and not “above.”
Between the cracks in their world, ours is thriving, and the growth of a tiny sapling can shatter the asphalt and become a forest.

This week marks my 38th year on Earth, and the following one marks 10 years of Werewolf.
To celebrate, I’ll be announcing a new initiative that goes back to the roots of the Operation, and will act as a massive catalyst for positive change in those who are serious enough to undertake it.
The first official Operation Werewolf event of 2023 will be held the weekend of March 18th.
Mark your calendars and standby for further information.

When I began the program, as recorded in these early journals, I was in desperate need of Lebensreform: a complete shift of lifestyle, perspective…a spiritual change spearheaded by a physical one.
I still do.
When we say “the Operation is ongoing,” it is because we never cross the finish line of Lebensreform.
We only make progress which leads us to new vistas, as yet unconquered.
What has always worked for me, time and again, when I needed shaking up, sharpening up, a shock to the system to promote new growth past stagnation has never changed.
It is always a reinvigorated and stripped down approach to my:
Physical regimen
Mental regimen
Spiritual regimen
Specifically, the discipline and spartan mindset applied to these things in order to break through plateaus or claw through periods of inertia.
I’d like to invite all of you to join me on the 1st of December as I begin a new cycle of my own Operation Werewolf -
A holistic framework of daily, weekly and monthly training attacking all fronts.
From December 1 to OPWW’s traditional “Midnight Mass” on the 31st, I’ll be leading a charge - running a program of physical, mental and spiritual fitness that you can partake in alongside me, free of charge.
In January, those desirous of continuing an even more in depth and challenging structure will have the opportunity to do so.
Those who wish to take part in the December charge should do so wholeheartedly, looking at it as an opportunity to set the tone for the coming year in advance.
I hope many of you will make the charge with me.
Official info///entry will be made available in short order.
Iron and Blood!
