I don’t think the issue is that binary.

There is room for us, especially those of like mind, to entrench ourselves into academia.

Those institutions are arguably even more valuable than government in terms of social change. Hyper focusing on STEM or encouraging white youth to avoid college altogether doesn’t solve anything.

I don't know if I could have handled 3 extra years at UW

I ended up transferring for reasons unrelated to politics

@DeusVolk I think there's truth to that, but I've also read studies that less Americans are going to college and instead choosing trade schools. If people start giving up on college altogether, it could weaken its power on social dogma

but if I stayed, it would have sucked

I want to be a college history teacher for the reason of teaching people stuff that isn't garbage

if you have the temper to go through the system, definitely go for it

@Lawrence - TX Of course, the only good history teacher I ever had was an extremely patriotic white American. Big surprise there lol

@DeusVolk You'd be right if I honestly believed a straight white man could get social science Tenure anymore. It is (and has always been) a personal and factional process.

If someone has the honest drive to be an academic and can hide their power level, I say go for it. Otherwise, why waste the time when more secure and profitable paths exist?

Reflecting upon history should be a hobby for men who also create it.

Not totally (but somewhat) our girl Aydin Paladin on youTube has great videos on social science from a right wing perspective

She got doxxed as a professor. Rough.

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN I agree the situation as it is does not look optimistic for us, but that assumes this position will remain static. I can see a future where there is a void that only highly educated, articulate white men can fill with regard to education. I’d rather not cede that ground.

what is "not totally our girl"?

that sounds like a pretty big spectrum

They are relishing our demise.

@Jacob Bisexual, has dated blacks, perhaps half Jewish(citation needed on that last one)? But in the AntiGlobalist Trump Wing Patrick is telling us to affiliate with

uhhhhhh

eh idk

@DeusVolk Destruction of the occupied universities' monopoly on credentialism would help white men with alternative but even mlre useful training rise to the challenge.

@Jacob You don't know what?

I mean, sure, I agree with Patrick that we should be associating with moderates. We shouldn't be shunning people who are useful to us.

I am not approving of Aydin's past, just saying she is pro free speech, anti-immigration and globalism, pro-2A, woke to Race Realism and the JQ. That's enough for "kind of but not really"

She is engaged to a white guy now apparently.

okay well once you put it that way she doesn't sound that bad

Her channel is legit good. She was my stop in between Styx and Red Ice on the red pill train

oh I had more of a red pill rocket so I can't really relate

I was actually just thinking about this today. My transition makes me feel really optimistic about younger people. Occasionally I hear them say something disappointing, but I have to remind myself that when I was their age, I literally thought Black Lives Matter was good.

I think our people should pursue whatever they’re best at, almost any career can be used to advance our movement

@Jacob I voted for Clinton November 2016, read Jack Donovan (yeah gay I know) January 2017, and April 2017 lived in a little house alone for a month while working on a farm, engaging with increasingly identity-adjacent ideas nightly. By August I was making the "very fine people" argument to my friends.

fact: fewer men are going to college and are instead going to trade schools.
we will hit a point and when next generation of champagne socialists are broke with no power, while white working-class men are making good money but being taxed into poverty

meanwhile, establishment figures on the left and right will chapion big corps with free labor.
we need a revival

Multi-faceted approaches. Some people in the support network make as much money as possible, some pursue cultural influence, some go near Amish/Orania-tier of withdrawal from the system as lifeboat. All connected and helping eachother.

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN Wow, you're story is pretty crazy ha ha. I didn't get "red-pilled" that quickly, but it's good to have you in IE

Play to win it all, but Cultural Independence of Amish with the education and nepotism level of Jews is a Plan B

Sometimes I discuss politics with my friends' younger siblings and they've been making progress. Not to long ago they all thought cheeto blumpf was stoopid and now they're saying that the wall should be built. I wish they'd go full on identitarian, but they're waaaay better than I was at that age.

@Nico The Great - CA I was a guest on the IE podcast a while back as the "look at this danged Bernie Bro"
