There's always compromise and signal loss when you turn political ideas into reality. If you start with strong ideas you can at least move the discussion in your direction, as a prelude to moving real politics.

The signal loss problem is why the Overton Window works. The side making the biggest stink, the most demands, and making the most extreme arguments will drag the middle in their direction if the other side tries to keep it polite and moderate.

That sums up Jew political tactics and conservative tactics respectively.
The other side controls the loudspeakers.

Our side is continually beset by false fronts, to sop up the newly awakened.

It's worth it to point this out.

Or, it would be worth it if people took ideas seriously enough to reject those who didn't accept the right principles. But on our side, they generally don't. That's one reason why we have no real side.

The alt-right shit has absolutely nothing to do with our cause, it merely sucks potential supporters away from it.

Overton window is wrong. It's a zero-sum game. Limited time, brainpower, money. They go to conservatives, or they go to white nationalists. With media control, any idea can be sold, even something nasty and disgusting like 'gayness' or 'gay marriage' or 'diversity' - these are the mostly radically destructive extremisms possible.

It all comes down to mass media control. That doesn't mean internet. That means tv. If you have that, you can pretty much sell anything. Since WN don't have that and won't in near future, they need to be extremely consistent in their principles and their aggressiveness. Conservatives prefer personalities to principlse, aand they're dyed in the wool passives and reflectives, unsuited to aggression, no matter they like to style themselves as radicals.
