I think most in the failed alt-right and indeed a few in our circles would rather fail as an esoteric, unapproachable in-group than put in the effort and personal development necessary to have mainstream appeal.

0 means success typically so... Got em

Oof @ gayfreiheit

Well only 10 people know what you're talking about...so no.

Hey I took intro to matlab twice so I definitely know what’s going on

In all seriousness appealing to normies is important but part of that is teasing them with something fun and new

I was talking in binary...so I win.

See pewds master long play for how this can be done

Reveal your power level at the bank.

...or the library.

Pewdiepie attracts people because he is incredibly normal, successful, handsome and has his life together overall.

Well also weird and memelord and edgy

^

Engaged to a babe.

“Death to all Jews” on a poster board held up by dancing Africans for 5 bucks through a website is not what I’d call normal in today’s society at all. He’s definitely edgy.

Edgy...I wouldn't even call him partially serrated.

You can't win just being just boring conservative guy. Youth culture requires some weirdness

He plays on the edge

This is what subversives did to us in 60s. Hardcore commies larping as hippies and rockstars

Except now it's memes and video games

And liberals are the moral puritans

people are attracted to solidity of personhood and character - if he weren't successful, wealthy, powerful and grounded he would have flopped and ruined his life just as much as an obese racist podcast host.

I agree he is great at playing the edge

He's a savant, really.

Cart before the horse. He became successful because of his personality being a shy weird gamer.

Obviously we can't all be YouTube personas but the point is inside jokes and memes are fun and fun is powerful.

So long as it doesn't become stuffy and self absorbed as you do well to warn us about

If one of your friends from highschool wouldn't be able to digest a line of rhetoric without further explanation - it's simply myopic and ineffective.

and weird.

Wanting to be on the inside of a joke is powerful appeal to curiosity

It's a great tool if used well

The alt-right tried that for over 3 years

how did that work out for them?

With great success I'd argue

The alt right is an utter failure 🤣

The fact they didn't have control over court system doesn't matter

their ideas are far more mainstream than before

This was always a marathon

that is their one success.
