PA, you seem relatively sanguine about the alt right purges. It’s not just fringe sites like daily stormer, NPI is gone and others like Amren are on the chopping block. Why haven’t you commented on this?

It’s a good question. I wouldn’t say I’m sanguine about it, but there is an “Is that all you’ve got?” in the back of my mind. But I don’t have anything original to say about the deplatforming of dissident bloggers. Plenty of others are covering the subject. I publish a post when I have a perspective on something that other bloggers aren’t already providing. For example, my entry about Kid Rock’s “Po-Dunk” video. I learned of the song and video at Vox Day’s, then I read his analysis and the 375 comments, many of which were insightful.

So what else could I say about “Po-Dunk” that you can’t already read there? I wrote about it because I immediately recognized Kid Rock’s video as an homage to Hank Williams, Jr.’s “Country Boys Can Survive,” and then I connected its truculent acting-out with the anger that Michael Moore — coincidentally, another Michiganer — caricatured in his famous pre-election “Biggest Fuck You ever recorded.”

Nobody else, to my knowledge, had made those two connections. And I don’t have a similarly original take on the Alt-Right purges. I don’t even know whether this is the system’s first phase of bigger repressions, or its death-throes. (I do have a gut feeling as to which one it is, but a hunch is all it is at the moment).

Any practical takeaways from the purges, if you blog? A few you’ll also hear elsewhere: have your material backed up, even if merely as PDF files on your portable hard drive and hardcopy. Have your archives on a different platform ready to switch on. Be on Gab.ai to let people know of your new blog address.

But beyond that, recognize that online, you are not indispensable.

A couple of SJW-converged tech monopolies running interference for a sclerotic permanent government bureaucracy that has China and Russia eyeballing it for fissures are no sooner going to stop the omni-nationalist worldwide Alt-Right revolution than any organization could have hoped to stop the Industrial Revolution.

No one blogger is indispensable, even as a number of them are giants. Much of what needed to be said — the red pilling truth — has already been said. If one blogger is shut down, three new ones — younger, smarter, more energetic, more zero-fucks-given — will fill that gap.

There is blogging, and there is what you do in real life. Away from the internet, you are a leader by the mere fact of being Red-Pilled and wide awake. Whether you know it or not… better yet — whether they know if or not, the people in your life look to you for answers and for a good personal example. Subconsciously, they feel that you know something they don’t. They are unsettled by the surreal turn of politics, and they sense that you aren’t.

Your biggest responsibility — mine, yours — is to the people we are connected with in real life. Whether in a role of father, uncle, friend, you are a leader. Does one of your otherwise-solid friends say stupid things like “One day we’ll all be caramel-colored and there will finally be peace”? Use what you have learned on blogs to feed him tiny doses of the Red Pill. (Pro-tip: Brownian motion doesn’t drive human events.)

If you are a father, raise your children right. Take them and their friends out regularly. If you aren’t, you can still throw the football with a single mom’s son. Tell him to put the pinkie of his throwing hand in the middle of the seam, and when catching the ball, let it land in the bread basket. Teach your nephew to play guitar or change the car’s engine oil. Drop him a Game nugget of wisdom: “With girls, if you act hungry, you’ll never get fed.”

If you live in a shitty diverse area, invite your White neighbors over to your place for a get-together. Formally, with invitation cards. Pay for your niece’s private school tuition. Cultivate a reputation as a man of integrity. If you have the doggedness in you, run for local office.

A carefree world generates its own ennui. Thankfully, we don’t have that to worry about. Instead, we have so many ways in which we can make a meaningful sacrifice in this one short life we’re given. I pray nightly. This is what I close with:

Thank you God for the miracle that is life.

A young blogger I read regularly, who has been telling people to get out into real life and engage, has just laid out his reasons for retiring from public writing:

When I wrote “Driving Through Dying Blue Towns” last year … I visited home and saw it again. We can sit by and watch it happen or show some agency. I’m tired of seeing my friends die [of drug addiction] and just providing commentary.

I suspect that public life is something he is just getting started with. The man I am talking about goes by Ryan Landry. I’ve mentioned this before, but he inspired me to start this blog through an off-the-cuff remark that he writes because he wants his children, one day, to know what he was thinking. He closes on a note that rings familiar to anyone who has been reading him:

The storm is growing. Be a lighthouse.

Godspeed, Ryan and thank you for your writing.
