In light of our new third place I just want to offer a theory.
First we raided, caused some controversy in 4pol and pissed them off, that caused a whole load of negative traffic here, BUT once that settled evidently we had changed some minds cos the numbers remained up.
Then we got hit with this reddit bs. Again, some negative coverage but overall our numbers will probably be slightly higher after they drop again.
This is how it works, this how Trump did it. You say or do something outrageous, back it up boldly, and then let the controversy itself let the idea stick in a few minds. The people you do not convince were not convinced in the first place. You have literally nothing to lose by being controversial. Particularly in the meme age.
I suggest we use the boards rising stature to organise and disseminate.
You all know I have written a manifesto, and that within that I suggest the creation of situationist cells. The very idea of these cells is to cause controversy, to create public events that essentially lead to large amounts of shitposting.
I want to viralize the radical left just like what happened to right.
We need to stir things up. We need to rock the boat instead of just saying we should change rudder or captain.
At this stage I'm just looking for people to give me an email address so we can discuss things further.
I already have interested parties and I would really like to try and get as many people from all over interested.
Obviously nothing can happen right now, but the idea is that I am going to keep posting threads like this and gradually gather contacts until I have something that resembles a group and we can decide which step to take form their as a group.
I do however have a fairly good idea of what I would like to take place, I merely aim to convince you of that.
I have seen so many people here posting about how they would get involved in activism but it seems stale or ineffective or idpol and such.
Why don't we start afresh, with a new program for a new left, one that offers a coherent set of goals to achieve, without immediately upsetting the prevailing order, but very definitely transforming it.
Now is the perfect time for the far left. We have to ride on the reaction against Trump and the betrayal of his own supporters. We have to capitalise on the disillusionment with the centre left.
We have to do something. We have to do something now.
