How can you identify as a democrat or republican then? These are both clearly fronts for a uniparty that seeks certain hidden objectives. Also how can you argue so forcefully with dissidents in dissidents spaces like s/debatealtright when you seem to agree on some very important foundational truths?

Unless you are Jewish and someone has offered you a guaranteed spot in a New Zeland bunker don't you think you will be affected by all of this impending chaos? Don't you think it's time to seriously consider that comraderie and cohesion will be essential for dissidents to survive impending food shortage, war, pestilence, etc?

Have you considered that these thinks tanks/secret society might be coordinating a series of population reduction events?

I noted something we agree on. I did not mention one crucial disagreement: that we have to focus on solutions instead of complaints, that we have to note those solutions explicitly here and elsewhere, that we need to focus on ways of empowering voters to use the democratic system to remove corrupt politicians, that the wealthy establishment can only be beaten with a democratic system, that there is no authoritarian saviour, that notions of a kind of French revolution are untenable, that the revolution we should focus on involves the hard work of getting people actively involved in centrist politics, that "dissidents" never discuss methods that will achieve any of the goals I mention above, that "dissidents" are armchair anarchists who will are being manipulated by propaganda pushed by wealthy special interest groups, that "dissidents" are anti-democratic, that "dissidents" aren't organized as an effective group that can empower centrists to democratically defeat the corrupt politicians, that - whereas we agree very much on who the real enemy is - we have different approaches to the potential means of dealing with them. Hope this clarifies my point. I'd rather not disagree with you. You've heard me say this kind of stuff before.

I don't mind you disagreeing with me or anybody else. It's HOW you disagree. Often times you take the other side of an issue just because it seems like you enjoy conflict. You might have more fruitful debates if you simply repeat some of the core ideas we just discussed. We dissidents have so many mindless drones and paid troll farm time wasters attempt to 'debate' us that we often fall into a combative posture. You seem to love triggering that. I do think you've improved though so there's that.

that we have to focus on solutions instead of complaints

The idea that dissidents all want a new holocaust or french revolution of political enemies is false. Dissidents are a broad group with a variety of camps. For example a growing wing of the dissident pie are the small and medium organic farming advocates. These folks simply want distance not conflict. These folks are more concerned with rebuilding high trust white communities and having families. Think Hittites or Mennonites but not as religious and more connected to modern politics and DIY community. You'll find these people in subverses like s/200acres. The reason you see us focusing on so many 'complaints' is that we are attempting to break people away from the mainstream academic and social propaganda that's toxic and dangerous. You can't move to a solution phase until you have a critical mass of people that really understand the problem.

that we need to focus on ways of empowering voters to use the democratic system to remove corrupt politicians, that the wealthy establishment can only be beaten with a democratic system

I think if you look harder you'll see this system is broken beyond repair. That doesn't mean we need to start a civil war but it does mean we need radically different solutions. We need strong but peaceful resistance. Please consider doing a deep dive on the right wing and third position authors and their reasoning for distrusting democracy. I think you'll find some strong evidence against democracy. Start with Uncle Ted, Johnathan Bowden, Guillaume Faye, etc. Chat with /u/nombre27 and look at s/runebooks You might even like some of the eco fascists. If you don't have time to read start with this channel to catch up. I especially like his video on environmentalism vs conservationism.

Just because our movement favors strength and masculinity doesn't mean we treat every problem with hammer nail mentality. That thinking is a residue of your liberal indoctrination. (I don't know about you but mine was extensive and took years to deprogram from).

"dissidents" aren't organized as an effective group that can empower centrists to democratically defeat the corrupt politicians

They could be but most of us think it's a rigged game. Maybe you should look harder at why we think that? Also why do you think 'empowering centrism' gets us out of this mess. That a ridiculous notion to think if you already accept the notion that thinktanks and banking families run the world.

Thanks for this detailed info. I'll have a look. It's true - I really don't now what "dissidents" at DAR (&c) really believe in. I wish they could be more specific about what they want. All I see from them are complaints, and what appear to be calls for revolution and anarchy. This seems to be anti-democratic. They seem to complain about everything. And if there were to be an uprising, I see no evidence of their ability to succeed. That said, I like very much the necessity of protests, and have attended many of them, as have my parents. I think many on Saidit can agree regarding our common enemy, which is in my view is the .01% and their manipulations, brought about by late stage capitalism. But we all have different views about how to address those manipulations, and indeed I see many on Saidit want to believe the propaganda pushed by much of the .01%. Anyhow, I'll check out this interesting information you've provided.
