Average people don't want to join something like IE until it's socially acceptable to do so. You're all different from the norm because whether you like it or not, were not socially acceptable by the status quo. THATS ALL IM SAYING PEOPLE.
I'm gonna get off now
Like it or not, a very large percentage of people are unwilling and/or incapable of differing from the majority, comfortable opinion. Those people are "normies."
Yeah we gotta remember what we are. We’re not some leet hacker meme group, we’re literally just white people trying to peacefully exist as white people lmao
That's just the reality of humanity.
the ohioan is right
*ranch dressing intensifies*
Yeah, maybe they outwardly express popular opinion, but again, we don’t know what’s going on through people’s heads
I was a complete shit lib with nationalist thoughts for years
I'm a normie at work.
IE should brand as normies but stay plugged into broader dissident meme culture that keeps the normie distinction. Like how socialists accomplished all the goals of communism while using communism as proof they were normal.
I believe the correct denomyn of Ohioans is "Buckeyes"
Muh corn and buckeyes
Since identity online is non unitary you can literally have it both ways if you have the headspace for it.
Pepsi is correct insofar as the "average" person might not feel comfortable joining a taboo group. The danger here -- and I'm not accusing him of this -- is creating an in-group (people with our views) vs. out-group (people without our views) distinction, and then saying "there's no use appealing to normies." People use that as an excuse to be careless and remain fringe.

I'm a normie in the streets, and a normie at home too
A similar issue is defining "the movement" as us and every other taboo right-wing group in society.
"The movement is IE, TWP, and Patrick Little!" is still how some people think.
I consider us an identitarian wing of the broader populist movement in America.
I think our views are pretty normal. If you really pry into the head of any middle class white person they’re thinking this
More emphasis on the identitarian definition.
The moment you find out you are a normie is the moment you cease to be a normie.
Rather than an identitarian wing of 1.0.
Normies must be programmed not convinced.
lmao wat
bro
Like, most the people viciously against us are childless goblin creatures
*w a t*
Lol
Calm down @Gibson
@Zilna Jestov but I like being a normie
deprogrammed not programmed hwat
He's right to some extent -- a large portion of the population will accept whatever the ruling class promulgates (with some exceptions).

The moment you think you don't have <:avtism:359037377919844352> is the moment you become a normie.
We don't need to convince *everyone*. And if/when we gain power, and manage to hold onto it, after decades people will just go along with it.
Its the only solution, "The Beginning Problem"
welcome @total_moot !
@Perihelion - CA Lol YES.
But again, the danger therein lies with saying "well if we don't need to win over everyone may as well not worry about optics" etc.
