😰

2017-12-19 20:12:20 UTC  

The right-wing needs to get better at organizing. This is downright embarrassing. What can we do? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDamXKl05e0

2017-12-19 20:14:02 UTC  

I wouldn't say computing forever is right wing though.

2017-12-19 20:14:56 UTC  

It was held by people who had no experience in organizing events and bit off more than they could chew.

2017-12-19 20:16:53 UTC  

CF isn't explicitly right-wing, but free-speech is a meta right-wing issue at the moment, and I think he's sympathetic to us. It would've been a good event that could've brought people on the fence to our side. 2018 should be a year where we try be more active against the globalists. Trump is not gonna save us.

2017-12-19 20:18:13 UTC  

So any thoughts on what to do? I like that there's a lot of younger guys and gals doing trolling and organizing discords, but what else is needed? Maybe more funding of content creators? I try to give through Patreon. What else can we do?

2017-12-19 20:18:44 UTC  

You don't think it was arrogance and ignorance that caused it to fail?

2017-12-19 20:20:24 UTC  

I've done some event planning at my previous job and it is a huge pain in the keester. I wish some of these big content creators would put out the call to help if they need it. Something about being in this sphere means you have to be like an ubermensch and do everything yourself. Just ask for help!

2017-12-19 20:21:46 UTC  

I agree. that's why it went to shit. It became so petty.

2017-12-19 20:24:37 UTC  

They took off all the guest from their website. That's a good sign! https://www.kilroyevent.com/featuredSpeakers.php

2017-12-19 20:26:12 UTC  

The reputation is already destroyed. They can still get ballpits though.

2017-12-19 20:26:33 UTC  

The good quality ones.

2017-12-19 20:26:40 UTC  

lmao. It's gonna be like the Fyre Festival.

2017-12-19 20:26:43 UTC  

An some jumpers.

2017-12-19 20:27:12 UTC  

OMG. Perfect. You hit it right in the nail. Lol

Refugee camps. So right wingers can cosplay as a Muslim immigrant for a day.

2017-12-19 20:31:08 UTC  

The worst part is, not only are the usual suspects going to draw dashcon, etc parallels. But this disaster is going to be touted as proof of the left's superiority (they can organize) and that our ideas about freedom of speech are impossible to put into practice.

2017-12-19 20:31:44 UTC  

Yup, and it's true, the left is better at organizing. We need to step up our game.

2017-12-19 20:32:40 UTC  

The only thing the right can organize that is large-scale is some cringey Turning Point USA conference where it's a bunch of bowties complaining about the capital gains tax.

2017-12-19 20:32:51 UTC  

I've seen how that works, even on a small scale. People not being able to check their ego is a big part of the problem. That and being stupid teenagers sometimes.

2017-12-19 20:33:18 UTC  

Maybe reaching out to small businesses can help?

2017-12-19 20:33:48 UTC  

My fam runs 2 small businesses. Someone ask me for help.

2017-12-19 20:34:10 UTC  

Unfortunatly, we can't mirror the left's organizational form for many reasons. Not the least of which is use of the progressive stack, and individualism being super important.

2017-12-19 20:34:32 UTC  

Not saying it's gonna be easy, and you're right.

2017-12-19 20:34:47 UTC  

When I went to union meetings there are actually seperate organizations that do nothing but organize. Basically, it's this big pre internet social network.

2017-12-19 20:35:20 UTC  

I think the right is getting much better at organizing online, but some IRL stuff is important too.

2017-12-19 20:36:09 UTC  

This sounds like an under dog story.

2017-12-19 20:36:31 UTC  

Lets say you have a hundered scojus groups in an area with 4-50 active members each. Every time any group has a beef they call into this central group, and that group calls all one hundred of those affiliated groups.

2017-12-19 20:37:01 UTC  

Yeah, I like the idea of small groups.

2017-12-19 20:37:16 UTC  

Right Wing Dog Squads, so to speak

2017-12-19 20:37:38 UTC  

Now not every group is going to have someone show for an event, but if only a third of fifty groups can send out one to three people on a given say that is still in excess of 50 people. Enough to be intimidating.

2017-12-19 20:38:07 UTC  

But the thing is most those people don't really know or care about what is going on. They just want to "fight the man"

2017-12-19 20:39:20 UTC  

That model "works" but it is also ultimately exploitative because it uses people for political points and then discards them when they aren't of use anymore. I know this because it is what happened to me.

2017-12-19 20:41:27 UTC  

Also because of the progressive stack the collective cares more about small victories for a few of the group members (say, transgender bathrooms) than big wins for big groups (say large wage and benefit increases for a large unionized workplace).

2017-12-19 20:41:59 UTC  

This sounds like a full time thing. How are you going to motivate people to do this?

2017-12-19 20:42:12 UTC  

I'm not.

2017-12-19 20:42:48 UTC  

I'm just talking about a funcional leftist organizational model and it's flaws. Also the reasons why a more right leaning group can't use it.

2017-12-19 20:43:28 UTC  

This is something we shouldn't/can't do on the path to greater organization. but there may be some tidbits worth cribbing here and there.

2017-12-19 20:43:55 UTC  

I'm old enough to understand that I am no leader and that people don't generally listen to me.

2017-12-19 20:44:44 UTC  

You could hypothetically support in other ways if you're not leadership inclined, don't you think? (money, technical assistance, etc.)
