You guys are different from the average

Normie meme is important because it's true

¿You think people are born dissidents?

Honestly the worst thing that happened to this movement imo was the lexicon and inside jokes that created such a strong bubble of fringe edge culture that effectively killed our ability to expand.

Yes

Most people will come around, but that's when we gain power

I am a born dissident

Our ideas are accessible, defensible and normal.

We need to stop envisioning ourselves as radicals. If we want to win, we need to become radically normal - if you aren't there, get there.

Like you realize most of us in here qualify as “normies” right? We have house wives, regular working men with families who might not meet your standard for dissident

Reminder “white shariah” started as a meme and then Half the movement became staunch defenders of it

No dude you have to be on 4chan to own the normies

normie is basically a synonym for npc

G r o s s

I think part of the issue is how the term “normie” is defined

Doing the same thing with terms like normie and npc is just as bad

I think IE branding as aggressively normal is a good move. But wider dissident movement needs to keep the edge

Je suis normie

I’m not sure we’re all using the same definition

What is a normie

I play both roles depending on audience

TRS lingo is just a bad idea in general

its dumb

just talk like a normal person

Wasn’t there a recent article about balancing inside culture of a political group with the ability to appeal to the mainstream??

This reminds me of that comic where every person in the panel is thinking “wow I bet these people aren’t even aware of anything”

Yeah, political identity paradox

If you become too subcultural you lose

^

That’s the civil way to say it yeah

we're becoming too subcultural

I suppose I could have taken that route

My bad fellas

I always thought normie was a term for people with mainstream political opinion, culture, and likes/dislikes. A girl is a normie if she likes starbucks for example. With this definition it's clear we're not "normies" in the sense that we dont abide to mainstream ideology, but we ARE normal people in the sense that we live normal lifestyles

But you become too mainstream then who cares

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
