The biggest indicator is that conservatives are actually starting to use our talking points. I think too many people look at the alt-right as an abject failure, but that's too myopic, the ideas just needed time to trickle down. And now people are getting acclimated to it.
I do think censorship has been a huge stick in the spokes though.

Great read. The momentum is on our side, but as you pointed out Trump winning the primary could cause Dems to hold the White House or perhaps if he succeeds in regaining the White House his incompetence could again translate our momentum into small victories rather than the big ones that could occur if we had a more competent prez at the helm like a Ron DeSantis.
Anecdote...one of my best friends, who I have argued with over politics for years, has taken a sharp turn right. I credit my incessant badgering and him becoming a father, but I give most of the credit to YouTube shorts. Libtards on tik tok and shorts are finally exposed to better ideas and antics of their own side which are off-putting. Ever since woke nutjobs went mask off, capturing then and exposing them on shorts and tik tok has been a godsend. Mix in some short rants from the usual suspects (Tate, Peterson, Walsh, etc) and you got a radicalizing machine. Thanks YouTube!
>I credit my incessant badgering and him becoming a father, but I give most of the credit to YouTube shorts
Think about it. One short that gets 5,000,000 views from 14-17 year olds could "redpill" (for lack of any other word), dozens, maybe hundreds—about major historical topics and current political events. We can save society, in part, by propagandizing it with TikTok and YouTube shorts.
Scott Adam's algo fed him videos of blacks beating up and killing whites everyday, he didn't come to that conclusion out of nowhere.
That's true, but it's all for naught if they awakened have nowhere to go. There has to be political unity and will too, for that awakening to engage as some sort of engine of change - e.g. the NJP or Patriotic Alternative and their equivalents in other countries. They don't necessarily need to be full Nohtzee, but they do need to be non-compromising types of nationalist political orgs. I think that was the mistake last time: the power radicals discovered on the internet sort of stayed in the online space, so once Trump proved useless, all that energy dissipated in infighting, etc. Hopfully it will be different this time, as we've been hardened by being out in the wilderness and having to fend for ourselves all these years.
Overall, I agree with your assessment; the short answer is ‘yes’.
But. People are hurting financially. As an Australian, I’ve never seen so many social media posts from friends and acquaintances asking about how to defer bill payments, or get dental work on the cheap, etc.
The cost of living is spiralling, housing prices are obscene, real wages are flatlined or going backwards.
So, while the cultural agenda of the New Left is confronting, people are increasingly distracted from it because they’re focused on immediate bread and butter problems.
And there are still many elements of the Right that simply won’t put the boot into capitalism. Or will even defend it. Much of the alt-Right is different - that’s true - but it doesn’t have the history or depth of the Left when it comes to critiques of the capitalist economy.
The economic system is the source of the financial hardship we’re feeling.
Meanwhile, some older-school elements of the Left are very happy to point out capitalism’s shortcomings - and to posit solutions that they’ve been thinking about for decades.
So, *some* radicalisation will head Left.. probably to groups that prioritise economic change over bourgeois liberal cultural fads.
The pity is that the root causes of *both* the economic hardships and the cultural malaise of countries like Australia is the same. Global capitalism drove the decline of the Western working classes, and the rise of the New Left and its corrosive social agenda.
To quote Alain de Benoist; Left? Right? That’s over.
One can only hope that further radicalisation takes us away from these outdated political frameworks - and towards a politics which emphasises collectivist economics AND traditional cultures.
I honestly don't know who our next Trump figure would be. The Groypers all say it's Ye, but if we're being honest, he has no chance of winning in 2024. The GOP probably won't even let him on the debate stage. I don't think America, at least the current order in place in America, is going to make it to 2028, but maybe it's for the best to try to build from the ground up rather than infiltrate an existing system. Time will tell though. Also glad to see you on Substack, it seems like a great medium for you.
Yeah Kanye wouldn't stand a chance of winning, but just running can force ideas onto the mainstream. Ross Perot, Pat Buchanan, Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders are perfect examples of this.
By censoring people on the Right, it has forced them into a sort-of "parallel online space". Will it ever spill into the mainstream again, like with Trump?
I think the left’s banality will be its primary undoing. Nobody wants to read “How hard it is to be a gay minority” book #379, its old hat. Without the smoke screen of being “cool” or “rebellious”, they are exposed for what they truly are, namely grotesque and very surface level. Things like war edits and self-improvement have grown exponentially within the last few years, propagated and consumed by either the right or those friendly to its message/optics. The left’s grand challenge will be how to counter a right with an image of both masculine strength and resistance to the Machine, things which are fundamentally alluring, especially to young people. Nobody likes being finger-wagged and moralized to by English teachers and fat women.
I wonder what schools of Islamic thought Tate and Sneako will follow (for the short time either of them will remain "muslim"). I put it in quotes because I don't believe their "conversions" were completely sincere. But for the few years they dabble in it, I wonder which sub-branch they will attach themselves to.
I support KeefStack! Let's go!
Excited to have you on the platform!
Thank you!
The way I consume content is by the written word, so glad to hear you're on Substack! You write well too. Do carry on.
Appreciate it.

>Are We Heading for a New Wave of Radicalisation?
The US Army put out a recruitment video and every single comment mentioned Israel.
So, probably, yes (and here's why that's a good thing).
And don't forget to click my name to read my blog!
I will shamelessly self promote Keef.
