1. Even before UTR/Charlottesville there was tendency among the non-mainstream right to move away from a big tent approach towards ideological lithmus tests and cannibalizing each other.
The subsequent "Optics Wars" were ultimately won by people who merely substituted one brand of potentially life ruining activism with another.
BAP is actually one of the few people who were pricipled in their opposition to this.
2. Even if Fuentes and his associates weren't extremely suspicious he would still attack BAP.
Fuentes is highly narcissistic and vindictive towards people who "wronged" him, with this behaviour going back years too (James Allsup, Lauren Rose, recent Groyper General departures etc) and after BAP warned people about the Groyper Leadership Summit he predictably became the target of his narc rage.
3. Functionally AF looks much more like a fucking cult than a political group.
"Regime is not noted for its ability to plan for long-term viability"
The exact opposite of this is true. Long term planning is not within the purview of the common man but it falls in the wheelhouse of the power elite and their centuries long formation of mass society. We are in this position now because plans and strategies have been followed patiently for decades. One small example is the CFR /RIIA which was formed over a century ago. Real power plans for generations so do not confuse what appears to be mid-level incompetence ( which is often on purpose) for weakness in the leviathan. Fuentes style obfuscation and utility are just narrative building tools. The real manchurians are leading pro-liberty rallies and opening up presidential campaigns.. you know the position that has been reduced to that of a public notary for the elite..
No because this is an example of surrendering to the enemy FRAME.
You never allow your enemy to set the parameters of the debate. Humans are animals. Debates are symbolically important. Emotions are more persuasive than facts.
If someone falsely accuses you of a crime, and you deny it, even if you are innocent, you appear weak and defensive.
Brilliant job, bro.
Beautiful explanation, extremely readable and well-written. Elegant structure paired with simple, forceful, and efficient prose.
Thank you for this!

Nice thread.
Got me to read bronze age mindset.
Not really following the drama with BAP that you write about. But you write well. Hopefully you write more!

Never allow the enemy to choose topics.
