Understandably, this might be a provocative title and subject, and of course, there are many organizers within the broader Dissident Right movement who are outstanding people. However, there is also a highly influential wing of the Dissident Right that continues to do more harm than good, and that only serves to drag all of us into the gutter. Unfortunately, these people often get the most publicity.
As an American from the North and living in the South, I’ve never been a fan of the swastika, SS runes, and slogans like “Sieg Heil” and “14/88.” Given how individualistic Americans are, a defunct Nordicist movement from the 1920s-40s is not optimal for a White America created from multitudes of European ethnicities. Additionally, America (North, South, and the rest of the country) already has a rich and important history and culture. And, much of Heritage America views iconography of the Third Reich with contempt.
It is also important to establish that – yes, optics are hugely important. Not for our opponents’ sake, but to encourage our people to join the movement.
I’ll never knock anyone for showing their face and participating in real life activism, it takes a great deal of bravery and guts. However, I recall browsing Telegram and seeing an Australian activist getting into a fistfight with a black security guard outside of a news station. Whatever the reason may have been, is that where our movement should find itself? A street brawl next to the trash cans, recorded on camera with a comment section filled with White Power slogans?
There’s an activist that Dissident Right folks probably know about in Florida. He distributes fliers that contain information about Jewish people in the media and government. The activity of this Florida-based organization has generated massive amounts of controversy, leading to Governor Ron DeSantis signing legislation that many have interpreted as an attack on the First Amendment.
How are the two related?
The Florida-based activist regularly live streams himself peppering neighborhoods with flyers and hanging provocative banners on freeway overpasses. When confronted by residents or local police, this activist and his crew become excessively hostile. A recent video shows the man berating and personally insulting local police for over thirty minutes while livestreaming himself giving Roman salutes.
Is this where our movement is now? Street fights and ethnically ambiguous attention addicts livestreaming themselves abusing members of their community for online donations? Where in the annals of Western civilization have any of its great thinkers, explorers, or revolutionaries brought themselves this low? Saving Western civilization shouldn’t feel like watching Jackass or Fight Club.
The real issue is that much of the more provocative elements of our movement ride a fine line between being genuine and theatrics. Waving Totenkopf flags and shouting “Destroy Pedo Freaks” may make us seem intimidating (and maybe it personally gives someone a sense of power) but no one in the general White community understands this behavior – you just look like a comic book villain. Our people know the West is faltering and something is terribly wrong; the theatrics and slogan shouting does not give us any advantage in recruiting.
George Lincoln Rockwell wasn’t able to recruit Middle America in the 1960s and they still remain unconvinced today. This behavior doesn’t just scare off the average White person, it makes them laugh at us. We are in a fight for the very survival of our way of life and our enemies will use our worst mistakes against us. Any kind of legislation pertaining to speech that is signed in Israel doesn’t bode well for us, either. Getting short term laughs and gratification from watching someone beat up a black security guard or scream at synagogue worshipers with a bull horn is a long-term defeat in our struggle. Obsessing over 1930s Germany or transgressive, unhinged rightwing activities is not the best use of our time.
Fight smart, fight with your brain, use your intellect like a weapon. No more mistakes.

O I’m a good old rebel, now that’s just what I am. For this “fair land of freedom” I do not care at all. I’m glad I fit against it, I only wish we’d won, And I don’t want no pardon for anything I done.
I agree with you sir. What bothers me is how this guy HT targeted Jewish neighborhoods with his information and started this media blitz and law fare in Florida. I believe he’s a plant and certainly destructive to our cause at times.
Ive read his goyimtv and there is no moderation of content and a lot of it is Jewish propaganda.
JJR, Just Joe Radio interviewed that man in Australia who was forced to fight the black security guard who ushered the men out of the MSM building and attacked his camera man a block away from the building, if I remember correctly. It wouldn’t be hard to find the interview on odyssey.
Good article.
I’m going to have to agree with the author. The public behavior of so many proWhites is quite embarrassing and quite detrimental.
The only problem is we are powerless to stop them. We have to come up with some way to protect ourselves from such “friends” and other than keeping a safe distance I really don’t know how. Any suggestions?
We need to explicitly push these people away from us and make it known we don’t appreciate them or their antics.
Only by creating an ever widening gulf between us and them can we hope to show our people that they aren’t stuck with a binary choice between doing “nothing” or being a cartoon villain neonazi.
In my humble opinion the entire wn/1488 movement is a psyop created to do just this, to create a public perception that there are only two possible choices people can make. This prevents them from considering our collective ethnic interests because absolutely none of our people who have morals and ideals want to associate with bogeymen. Only defectives willingly do this. Its a self Reenforcing cycle.
Anyone who’s a dissident may be above reproach in his words or actions, and still have his words twisted and his character smeared by those who control the media and manipulate the popular mind. For every Richard Spencer there’s also a David Irving, an Ernst Zundel, an Ursula Haverbeck fighting the good fight. Let’s all be discerning, but not fall into the trap of our enemies by thinking historical truth is negotiable, or we can offer them any concessions that will cause them to ‘leave us alone’. The South made that mistake once and now they’re being demonized just like post WW2 Germans.
We need to do a better job policing who gets into our organizations. Background checks are vital as are criminal checks and social media posts. I would go so far as to require polygraph tests. Ask yourself would I trust these people around my wife and children if I wasn’t there or would I hire them as employees if I owned a business? If the answer is no, then why would you let them into your organization? Print up a code of conduct every member must follow and have them signs it with the understand violations will result in expulsion.
