| Zman: Letter To The CivNats |
| 2018-10-04 |
| One of the strange aspects of the last century of American politics is that the defining arguments have all happened on the losing side. The winners have always been sure about what they want and what they are willing to do to get it. It is the losers who have always been squabbling with one another about the proper response or the meaning of the latest failure. National Review types always used to argue that all the interesting debates were on their side, rather than on the side of their alleged adversaries. They were not wrong about that, even though they were deluded about who they were really fighting. For at least forty years and maybe longer, all of the arguments have been on the Right. That’s the thing though, they were always fighting the people to their right, the people now forming the new opposition. It is easy to get down about what is happening in our time, but the one thing we can point to is that there is an authentic alternative forming up now. The veil has been lifted for more of us now than any time in the past. Of course, we remain a tiny minority, even within the white population. George Hawley, the left-wing college professor from the University of Alabama, estimates that the dissident population is in the 6% range, which would be about ten percent of the white population, give or take. Greg Hood, the main writer at American Renaissance, is bit more optimistic, as he thinks the data says there are many more “leaners” in the population, but his number is still small. You can read Greg’s review of Hawley’s numbers here. |

| #4 The people putting him through that ordeal don’t look like you. With the exception of Cory Booker, Kamala Harris and Ted Lieu, the senators giving Kavanaugh a hard time seem pretty lily-white. That includes Flake, Collins, Murkowski and, for a while, Corker. The problem is white people, Democrats and Republicans alike, who step over each other in the rush be holier-than-thou on race. It is long past time that Republican politicians started demonizing companies and individuals who persecute whites for their political beliefs. The Democrats started this war. Without reciprocity, the GOP cannot win. |

| #1 About 25% of whites identify as Progressive, so that leaves about 65% in the civic nationalist, dissident right and indifferent buckets. This is what the alt-right learned the hard way two summers ago. They held a rally and 500 people showed up, but 2,000 opponents showed up. Many of those protesting the alt-right were MAGA hat wearing CivNats. Even more crucial, s solid plurality of white people blamed both sides for the violence." I thought the last couple times we discussed this shit in depth that we found the whole shebang was organized by agent provocateurs, especially the head organizer, who was with one of Obama's front groups as recently as four years ago. |
