In a conversation about White Americans, particularly boomers, and their attitudes towards race relations, Mike postulates that they don't absorb liberal or progressive assumptions unless they're bought in libtards because they instinctively know those people hate them for being White. Mike relates the FBI's ads on highway billboards soliciting tips related to anyone who went to the Capitol building on January 6th, 2021. For him, the presence of those billboards signifies that even the least informed non-libtarded White guy would be firmly aware that his interests are cause for government surveillance because they are not in line with the progressive elites' values.
The course of this discussion prompts Warren to relate an anecdote about Commander Rockwell showing up in Cicero, IL (suburb of Chicago) to counterprotest MLK's marches for integration and Civil Rights. For Warren, Rockwell's presence caused a sensation which resonated with and energized the White locals to take up the fight against MLK. Warren does admit that he initially had reservations on Commander Rockwell as he first found the military leader's crude and open racism alienating and counterproductive along with a perceived misapprehension of National Socialism ideologically. Warren believes that Commander Rockwell's parading around in mock Nazi uniforms effective for the time of total media control as the way to play the media was to first grab their attention, and going around in proper suits and ties was simply being ignored. Warren's opinions mirror Dr. Pierce's assessment of Commander Rockwell, and he too found Commander's ability to command media attention productive. Ultimately, Warren feels that Rockwell understood that White people instinctively oppose Civil Rights, miscegenation and integration but needed a strong leader to reflect those values and lead the fight.
Completely unconvinced of Warren's take, Mike counters that he found the Commander's tactics of parading around in mock Nazi uniforms very exhibitionist and ultimately undermined his credibility. Mike believes the fight against the Civil Rights movement would have been far more effective if they made their case directly in front of White Americans without any of the theatrics. Make your presence known at every Civil Rights demonstration. Trying to work through the media was never going to work because that apparatus is built against you. Simply tell Joe Q. Public that proponents of Civil Rights were going to integrate every space possible and not just the schools. Mike is particularly confident that he and the National Justice Party could make the case to the American people of that time far more effectively than Commander Rockwell could. Mike does agree with Warren that Rockwell was taken out because he was becoming ungovernable, but his challenge to Warren is that, if the Commander's tactics were successful, the NJP should emulate them exactly. Mike ultimately thinks Commander Rockwell's "success" is owed to the fact that Americans could openly talk about race candidly at that time rather than anything the American Nazi Party did on the streets. Warren responds by stating the internet renders the ANP's tactics irrelevant, but Mike is unconvinced. Mike then says that he came dangerously close to going down the same path Commander Rockwell did, and he finds the demand by internet Nazis to emulate the ANP's tactics to be counterproductive and those who aggressively demand others engage in it to be acting in bad faith. The coup de grâce comes when Mike compares this tendency in internet Nazi discourse to a comic where a man is being egged on the jump off a cliff to his own peril but refuses. After being berated by others as a "cliff cuck" who's "seething," he ignores his instincts, gives into peer pressure and then leaps off to this demise. To Mike, Warren's defense of Commander Rockwell is a giant post-hoc rationalization, and his career is ultimately a case of lost potential.
With regards to Dr. Pierce who Mike calls "an alienating sperg," he thinks the National Alliance's leader's strategy of building a vanguard movement to be a retreat from engaging in popular politics and failing ultimately to bring the message to the masses. It reflects on a total lack of confidence in your views and opinions, and perhaps, it is also a tacit admission you are aware your ideas make you an outcast. In terms of Pierce's books, Mike finds the fundamental flaw in both stories' narratives to be that the settings have competent and functioning pro-White organizations in place when, in reality, no such groups exist. It is difficult to take the story seriously when such a group has never been made real. He also finds Hunter's premise of Federal Agents genuinely interested in advancing pro-White causes to be downright laughable at its face especially when the story's protagonist is a cold-blooded murderer of interracial couples.
