‘Sleeping Giants’ Is On a SJW Crusade Against Racism

I’m installing the forum now.

In less than 18 hours, we went from Disqus censoring Occidental Dissent to raising the money to put in a new forum. I would like to thank those who contributed to this project. We are going to send a message to the SJWs. We will respond to their attempts to no platform us by doubling down and creating more spaces to cultivate Alt-Right discourse and build networks.

At this time yesterday, I wasn’t planning to move on a forum. It wasn’t on my radar screen. I may have installed a forum down the road, but it wouldn’t have been anytime soon. In the world of social media, forums are still valuable because they can’t be no platformed. A SJW can report you on Facebook or Twitter or destroy your community on Reddit, but he can’t shut down a privately owned forum. We can always use our forums as a backstop to reconnect with our audience.

Apparently, there is a group called ‘Sleeping Giants’ which is on a SJW crusade to pressure businesses to stop running advertisements on nationalist-populist websites:

It is all about fighting ‘racism’.

In reality, Disqus pays its users almost nothing for running their pop up ads. When I installed the Disqus plugin here, the ads were set to run as a default. I didn’t even notice them for several months until Disqus sent me an email in January telling me that they were expanding their ads here. In their crusade against ‘racism’, these SJWs have cost me a grand total of less than $100. It hasn’t occurred to them that we are ideologically motivated and that their efforts to censor populist speech will only intensify the backlash against our elites. What are they so desperate to hide from the public?

These ads which they are so determined to take down aren’t worth a fraction of the networks we are building. How much did Hillary Clinton squander on campaign ads? A billion dollars? She lost the election because millions of President Trump’s supporters 1.) don’t trust the Lügenpresse, 2.) automatically discounted the negative stories and attack ads due to their lack of legitimacy, and 3.) weren’t even plugged into the same information network in the first place.

These ham-handed efforts to silence us are a symptom of an elite in crisis. It is a sign of weakness. The taboos which they are so desperately trying to reinforce are breaking like the leeves on the Mississippi River. The flood of Alt-Right discourse into the “mainstream” is only going to intensify as media become cheaper and the number of platforms expand.

Note: Vox Day is correct that Alt-Tech will be the end of these people. In the early 2000s, the SJWs used to no platform us by going after our hosting accounts. As the internet matured though, the number of free speech hosting providers expanded and it became less and less of a problem. The same will be true of social media. In the long run, the vertically delivered, consolidated mass media of the 20th century will fall to the horizontally delivered, decentralized social media of the 21st century.
