His ability to just flip flop on diametrically opposed positions based on which *type* of manipulation he has to employ to avoid personal responsibility + agency is astounding.
I agree, it's a toxic subject. People need to understand in politics you need allies, not friends. You have a common foe, you need to push it back. It is okay to otherwise hate each other. Just hate the barbarians at the gate more.
My cold take is that the only pro-White thing to do is oppose the war entirely.
This isn't all that accurate either - if you look into it, the nazis effectively designed their ideology to be appealing to people. You can see this in the name - People like Germany and being German, so they were a 'National German' party. At that time, socialist ideas were gathering steam, so they also were a 'Socialist Worker' party. Merge them together, and there you have the party.
Alt-Right discussions circa 2015-2016 agreed on this, then Trump turned out to be a disappointment. From that point on, everyone who disagreed was always a shill, a fed, a jew, or a CIA psyop derailing the 'moovment'.
I'm pretty sure most of this happened because of not airing things in public. The problem is, that when sven/trs/etc. do address anything publicly, it is always too little too late, and it always is shrouded in resentment, so it's impossible to figure out what parts are spiteful exxagerations. Imagine how much easier of a time they could have had getting rid of the problematic elements of the central committee if they had acted in a way that gave people reasons to trust them. No, they coasted on being "the smartest guys with the best takes, the only serious group for Whites" for way too long and far too many people let that happen.
Norm was able to get several Jews to play along on camera like Adam Egret, Gilbert Gottfried, and Andy Samberg.The most anyone else can do is have the general population exposed to the information, couch in jokes or w/e and just let it cook.
I remember Mike saying that pretending to be Nazis in the current year would be like Nazis wearing tricornered hats. America has a distinct identity and culture that is very different from Germany or Europe in general. Even back in the 1930s when there was a high number of first- and second-generation German immigrants, the American Bund had maybe a few thousand followers to where Hitler himself brushed them aside as irrelevant. You had more Americans who were neutral or thought there were some good ideas with fascism or national socialism but very few took it beyond “Well, Mussolini keeps the trains running on time.”
Isn't the logo basically a pilfered version of the NPD?
Well, nobody wanted to admit that they are wrong, so little by little they destroyed their base and built up capital. Something something, one stick of spaghetti breaks easily, a lot of them bounded together breaks harder.
Amerikaner managed to incorporate blue into their logo and it looks great and Patriotic.
He made it clear, this is just a job for him. The problem is that he seems to be a shitty co-worker here. Sure, your friendship has ended with Mike years ago. Okay, but preserving illusion of the chemistry is essential for the podcasts and the fans. All this feminine gossip shit he is doing is very unprofessional.
Weird that Warren is a charity case to Sven, but not Alex, the only guy he's not mad at.
For the last several years, they’ve bickered constantly on TDS. They hate each other and they hate that they’re limited to podcasting with each other even more. Jesse has never wanted to do anything resembling activism. Jesse rubbing Mike’s nose in his own shit happened before: after Unite the Right. After Unite the Right, they made a bunch of changes to TRS and hearing it back then on TDS and the 504um, it was entirely due to Sven taking a victory lap and pressing a bunch of demands on Mike, who complied. It’s basically when TRS started walling itself off. I don’t think Jesse ever gave a shit about white nationalism, this is something he just wanted to do for fun but after getting doxed, is stuck with podcasting if he wants a middle class or better standard of living. If back in 2014 they’d have the option of being racist podcasters for a living for the rest of their lives or walk away, every single one of them would’ve walked away.
It is strange. McNabb is just as degenerate as Striker and McKevitt and contributes nothing besides being an r/iam14andthisisdeep troll. Maybe that's why Sven likes him.
Jesse and Alex go way back together, over ten years, even before he knew Mike. Warren is Striker’s guy, as he got introduced into the TRS milieu by being a frequent guest on Striker’s show, The People’s Square. Jesse has no real connection to him.
It shows on the product that nobody wants to show up anymore. TDS was not fun for years now. I don't even remember which was the last one I listened to in full. Stuff simply was low energy and let's be real, you cannot make lighthearted and fun content in the doom and gloom of the post-Election era. TDS worked best in the early days when it seemed like there was a proper pushback against the excesses of the Obama era.
If you guys can find some of this older stuff and post it, I'd be thankful, curious to listen to what they had to say. I mostly ignored them in that era, my only contact with American WN back then was with some bloodsports happened, fights around race etc.
I agree. Six years ago there was something good to listen to on TRS every day. When Strike and Mike got canceled, there was nothing left worth listening to. I was a paypig when the paywall got introduced in 2018 but TRS declined so rapidly that I had no urge to renew. I admit I thought Warren was going to be a good kick in the ass to the spiraling network but he turned out to be a midwit.
The 504um went down without it being archived so a lot of discussion about Sven’s demands are gone. Basically Mike admitted that he was not in a position to challenge Jesse and acquiesced. In terms of TDS episodes, there are several but the standout one about this issue was where they covered the cuckbox breaking. Mike was in favor of working with the TWP and Jesse was not. This episode was a big victory lap for Sven.
