What is the best thing we can do about it? Once we're awake to the concept, what are concrete steps we can take to protect ourselves or fix our local situation?
I can answer this, here is my trivial answer, off of the top of my head: Define the problem, chop up the problem into ever smaller pieces, solve.
MISSION
The survival of our people and western civilization.
TACTICAL OVERVIEW
a) Evaluation of current situation: we are ONLY playing defense.
b) Expectation of future situation: we must start to play offense, politically and economically while shoring up our defenses and improving the living standards for everyone.
KEY TACTICAL CATEGORIZATIONS:
a) DISTRIBUTED
Distributed financial system - crypto, need to grow ecosystem..
Distributed information system - .WIN, Gab, need to grow ecosystem.
Distributed leadership - Drive responsibility into the crowd.
Distributed decision making - Drive policy proposals and evaluation to the crowd.
Distributed education - Drive education down into the crowd.
Distributed entertainment - LBRY/Odyssey, a few others, need to grow the ecosystem.
Distributed financial system - Drive transactions into the crowd.
... etc.
b) TRADITIONAL
Financial Systems - We must continue to force through our economic power access to the financial systems.
Information Systems - We must continue to carve out as much territory on all of the social media and related platforms and hold for as long as we can.
Media and Entertainment - We must continue to penetrate existing media and entertainment organizations as well as setup our own.
Law - We must continue the push politics out of the law system.
Politics - We must replace the right wing in all of the western world and we must enter the political economy.
Economics - We must continue to create a parallel economy.
... etc.
BIG BANG IDEAS
Let me share with you a few out of sequence ideas to shake the box, this is a bit of a nonsequitur:
a) The PINK ELEPHANT PROBLEM
People often wonder how media is able to convince everyone of their lies. It is a combination of all of them being ideologically aligned (important!) and the pink elephant problem.
Becuase they are ideologically alligned everyone hears the same lies all the time. Because of the pink elephant cognitive blind spot that we all have, those lies eventually take hold.
The pink elephant cognitive blind spot has two features:
i) Every time I say pink elephant you see a pink elephant in your head - I can force ideas into your head whether you like it or not. You have no choice about it, the control is 100% mine.
ii) Everyone knows the above. What most don't talk about is that when I force a pink elephant image into your head, I also do the inverse: I force your brain to forget other ideas. In a way, I can pink elephant other ideas OUT of your head at the same time.
With enough time, I can get you to see the pink elephant all the time and push out ideas about the purple monster eating your daughter or the yellow clown raping your wife.
What I am getting at here is this: everything is propaganda all the time and all human communication is propaganda. If you control ALL OF THE MEDIA, you get to control the ideological allignment and the pink elephant at the same time and you get to control people.
When people talk about that the tribe control media, they aren't really saying there is cabal or a conspiracy. They are simply noticing the curious political alignment + the pink elephant problem.
Or to say the same thing another way: things that seem incomprehensibly complicated and unmovable are usually fairly trivial to understand and once you understand it you can start to calculate how much effort / energy / resources it will take to address the problem.
b) The power problem.
If you read all of OUR, so called (there is no right or left wing, this is a lie told to us for specific tactical purposes) right wing media, you will notice that everyone is using defensive rather than pro-active language.
There are two reasons for that:
i) We no longer have leadership.
ii) We believe we are alone.
Here is the reality of the American political situation: there are at minimum 63 million of us, potentially over 80 million or more.
THE WHOLE POLITICAL SITUATION can be resolved by the entirety of the 80 million on our side going on a strike and shutting the whole country down. Everything. Police, military, law, EVERYTHING.
We have the power to shut everything down within a week. Want to see EVERYTHING change on a dime? Get our people to put EVERYTHING on the line at once.
And watch. Just watch what happens.
We have far far far more power in the west than we realize. But, because of the media control + pink elephant problem + well, to be fair we are fucking lazy we just want to be left alone, we have allowed the enemy to get access to all of our cultural microphones and drown us out.
We feel alone when we are the majority.
So, you asked what can we do about it. Based on the above, I could easily inteview you, review your capabilities assign you a set of options and get the ball moving.
We can do this for all of us.
However, in the information age, we don't even have to do that. All that we need to do is build the infrastructure and let our people organize them selves. Our institutions are too big and too centralized because we have not fully harnessed the power of distributed systems and network effects yet. Not all institutions will benefit from decentralization (military) but most can.
Very good info, thanks for that. Using Steve Bannons neighborhood committeman (Barack Obama called them precinct captains) strategy, I'm going to get into the GOP as a precinct captain so I can influence local GOP candidates and vote for the hardest right I can reasonably get elected.
In addition, my red area is low tech savvy, so I can probably throw together some scare videos for Facebook about specific teachers in the school system. Finding the social media posts of local BLM teachers and outing them as a scare tactic to promote a hard right conservative school board.
Right here, with this post, you have done MORE than most of the american right. Bannon is correct.
The left is a minority. The people stealing those elections are a minority of that minority voraciously working on their cause day in and day out. I mention that it doesn't take much to be effective, I just want to inspire you to think what would hapen if just 10% or republicans did what you did. How about 50%?
Let me leave you with two ideas, if you don't mind:
Don't carry the world on your shoulder. You cannot fix the world. Do what you can, do what really fills your heart.
As part of that, gently talk to fellow republicans and see if you can get others to join. Instead of pressuring anyone, treat the conversation as if you wanting to add a friend to the group.
You do one thing and manage to bring a person along into the movement? You have now done 200% more than the average republica.
THIS IS THE REAL MESSAGE THAT I WANT YOU TO TAKE HERE: Our job is NOT politics, it isn't some high ideal and morality. Those are tools.
Watch any video from Bald and Bankrupt on his travels throughout the soviet union. Watch what they have done to the ENTIRE slavic people. Look at all the burned out buildings, dead factories and dead economies.
This is a war against communists who in their zealous chase for utopia will destroy everyone and everything.
And get away with it. You see how they get away with everything on the west coast? Same in the Soviet Unioin. They stole what they could, destroyed everyone and everything and no one got blamed or punished. Because by the time everything was in ruins there was no one to blame.

OUR GOAL IS SURVIVAL. WE MUST FOREVER DESTROY COMMUNISTS BECAUSE IF WE DON'T THEY WILL TURN OUR COUNTRIES INTO THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bNzjBJF_G0
