That being said, there's always *some* risk, so it's up to you what you're comfortable with
Good morning.
cringe
looks like the comments at least aren't that bad though
This made my heart skip a beat.
Yeah apparently that lawyer has a solid chance.
this is probably the best take on optics out there
“Screen out emotionally warped people who thrive on negative energy “
“Attracting anti social freaks...”
So true! 👍
That is 100% correct. Based post! @Alex Kolchak - NY
That’s why everything we do and say must genuinely reflect that.... we can think whatever we want deep down inside... but it’s imperative that we discipline ourselves, our words, our actions, etc...
Discipline and responsibility is the foundation of a good character. IE has tremendous amount of both.
That’s why I get frustrated when in spite of Patrick asking us repeatedly to not use fowl language and derogatory terms on Discord, we still have individuals who disregard that counsel. 🤷♂️
this isn’t about making lefties want to like us

If the claim is that we are in Syria to fight ISIS, being in al Tanaf does nothing for that goal. It's surrounded by government controlled territory. War hawks might change their minds if they ever looked at a map or the conflict
As if war hawks actually want to win something lol they just want the war to continue
@Alex Kolchak - NY Right on point!
@Alex Kolchak - NY Even the term “optics” fails to capture what the issue is actually about. “Good optics” implies that we can just put a new, fresh coat of paint on worn out White Nationalist ideas, and expect to win people over.
With this in mind, it should be no surprise that IE is growing, and optics honestly has little to do with it. We’re crafting our own aesthetic, and our own movement in a disciplined way, with the best people.
Happy Sunday I.E! I hope you all are having a holy day with great lifts 💪
It's about actually believing what you claim to believe, and not just trying to hide extremism.
Stefan is on fire.
His angle though is ultimately not one of separatism and identity but social acknowledgement. I'm sure he wants an immigration moratorium, but I think he ultimately wants racial harmony based on this idea a social revolution is going to sweep in an era of HBD understanding and peace. Such a joke!
He admits coexistence isn't working yet the goal is coexistence. Great work Stefan.
Right. It’s almost as if he remains committed to still find a way to make multiculturalism still work but first by acknowledging the issues that come with it.
He is going quite hard lately, granted. I'm thinking he intentionally grows his audience and every so often he trims it intentionally by going hard on the race question.
I’m sure he would be happy to live in a multicultural nation without feminism and a welfare state
Exactly
I understand and respect his caution. He never touched the alt right, especially during its peak. But I think his audience is asking for more at this point. Just an outside perspective!
Us and he have acknowledged the problem of competing identity politics. He would do away with the politics. We would separate competing identities
Just turn it into a market! 🙃
