I think we all wonder the same thing

This is what I was saying the other day. The alt-right needs a policy platform and a clear identity if it wants to be anything other than Dark-Enlightenment Land/Evola worshippers

and it needs to take a page out of the leftist and neo-con book and organize on a local level

coopting disruptive tech is the way it should do that

>coopting disruptive tech
mind elaborating ?

@comcast consider the way various chans have borrowed meme culture and image board culture to promulgate rightist cultural ideas in an attractive, modern, and palatable way. Far right must expand that idea beyond aesthetics and ideas (while of course maintaining that front of the battle) to the challenge of political organization through the use of now-common techs like apps, push notifications, networked social proofs, etc.

I pitched this idea to someone the other day, maybe exilarch, but i think there's a need for an Election Encylopedia type app that will take your location inputs and give you a list of upcoming elections you can vote in, dossiers on each candidate, links to news stories concerning those candidates, forums for discussion and encouragement, etc.

It would send you notifications to remind you or allow countdown widgets / achievements for elections voted in or whatever

Obviously if I were making the app, I would look for some way to exclude leftists

I wonder when a medium such as this will replace hitting the booths to vote. Just Channels of Political Doctrines and you vote for your area

Exilarch I think also had an interesting idea that used census data to make information about racial breakdowns of neighborhoods public via checking the app

so you check the app and know the spot you are is 85% black or whatever, search by ZIP

which I think is particularly clever because it would rope in normies to become race conscious

Where our government is a computerized Overlord and changes the political operating system

Love the idea of the app. Seems like you could only exclude leftists through marketing/branding of the app.

@comcast well for any election that runs on a primary system it would be easy enough to just not include the leftist candidates, making the app far less useful

Right, no info at all about the opposition

right

and then yes, internal branding and culture would be powerfully exclusionary too

especially if it did something like inform you if the candidate was jewish or something

like a little yellow star icon

Apple wouldn't carry that lmao

They would not

politics is arcane

if the alt-right wants to shift the american right's trajectory, it needs to seize the right's structure, which is basically the state party organizations

so an app aimed at alt-rightists that provided insight into local party structure and procedure in a digestible and actionable way would be very disruptive

more importantly, it would encourage some subset of users who have the right skillset to not just show up for votes, but join and involve themselves and carry their alt-rightist views into the party structure.

that part requires a certain cohesive ideological / policy platform though, which is the foundational political work that I'm not really sure is being done at this point. Arguably Land and Moldbug and Jared Taylor, then some random outliers like Pat Buchanan

There's also the old school dudes like Mencken and Spengler and Gentile and etc but those just have to be influences, they can't be the source of policy for a modern party

What the alt-right needs is people who have like public policy doctorates, econ phds, legal, military, or governmental experience to start a think-tank and publish some policy papers that provide data-driven policy proposals for alt-right positions such as immigration or corporate personhood or import tariffs on the federal level, and regulatory stuff on the state level. Legislatures and lobbyists rely on these proposals and studies to introduce bills and argue for their new laws.

That tactic, in turn, depends on a philosophical/theoretical unification or at least general clustering of the alt-right as a cohesive platform. Like, how do we think a state should run? What should it pay for and what should it not pay for? Do the anarcho/libertarian elements of the alt-right impede our ability to use the state to encourage certain cultural pursuits and discourage others?

what is the appropriate balance between state and federal power? Fascists might disagree with Libertarians or Trad types.

Having determined that federalism question, what changes need to be made? Does the supreme court need to quit using the Commerce Clause to expand federal power?

there's no well-resolved picture of what a government would look like from us yet.

At least, not within the current constitutional framework. Certainly some people would argue we should institute nazi germany or the monarchy or an anarchist non-state and just ignore the constitution.

One option. But i think not a very likely one in the next few decades

@UOC I AM NOT SURE THAT POLICY PAPERS WILL WORK, GIVEN THE LOW TRUST IN INSTITUTIONS

BUT IT IS AN INTERESTING IDEA

I think it's just something that needs to be there. It's not the motivating force or the main driver or anything. But at some point somebody is going to have to pass a law with specific policy positions.

unless there's a real revolution obviously
