Passed an Indian woman teacher with her class on the way out who was telling them how unfair it was that non-citizens couldn’t chose their MPs
For all Spencer's mistakes that one moment "You're not British, I can tell you that because my name is Richard Spencer" was almost worth it all
Went out and glared at the Thames for a while
Still butthurt
Are the ads as bad as they say
Seeing video of London now and photos/video from the 50s/60s is pretty depressing (and redpilling).
To be British or anything is something more than signing a piece of paper and having a passport.
Yes, if you aren't white, you aren't British. It's really that simple.
@Koba he’s so media and business savvy he’s done this for years whether it’s planned or not he’s had a lot of practice
My ancestry is 87% UK, so I have stake in that fight.
Richards primary policy mistake was that he indulged the media without enough resources or proper publicity to counter them. He completely burned himself out & created way too many issues in doing so. Overall, he was definitely a net positive in terms of racialist publicity acceleration, but he seems to have wiped out all of his personnel resources in doing so.
And Greg's resources.
Just about everyone I know that was around him has left him due to the heat he took in the process of indulging the media
I don't think media optics are the only reason people have left him...
@Koba I'm not sure he was a net positive. Driving rn, can respond later
well yes he does have some severe personality flaws
I think he was a positive in the sense he got the conversation started.
but provided those are actively repressed, his publicity campaign, if it had been carried out correctly, would have really rocketed him into a substantial position.
I listened to Spencer early on a lot, so he had his place.
I liked Spencer
He also had very coastal elite tier takes on everything & alienated many americans he could have won if he had not followed those takes & instead taken a more folk driven position
I even openly defended him during "HeilGate" on Faceberg.
I was starting out with everything during haillgate, was still spergy and didn't see the big deal lmao
Oh, Spencer is basically a right wing "rootless cosmopolitan" for sure.
Spencer and Taylor were what I needed to come over. I needed to see you could espouse concern for your people and still be somewhat respectable (as I saw Spencer at the time.)
Spencer always came off to me as an elitist dousche (Greg too), but Uncle Jared never did for some reason.
The Klan and the LARPabteilung were a massive turn off for me for a long time.
Taylor just sounds like a well-bred old southerner.
@Asatru Artist - MD yes, very much so. Egotism & elitism were large flaws he was never able to move past.
Not much of that accent left anymore. Very sad.
@Koba You coming down to meet uncle Taylor on the 17th?
I was too shy to meet him at NPI 2016
Saw him though
I met him
His constant feeding of the media was a byproduct of his egotism. In the end it cost him & all the rest of us big time, but in producing so much heat the dead leaves, so to speak, were shaken off the tree of american racialism
Shook MW's hand which was the main thing
oh man, I'll walk right up to him. Just to thank him for what he has done and for sticking to it for so long for our people.
And talked about Sargon lol
@NateDahl76 wouldnt miss it for the world lol
