“which is why concerns about demographics and things like the Wall and other means of preventing the Left from importing more voters for itself are so acutely important”
And that, my friends, is EXACTLY why our southern border was opened when Biden/Obama took over.....
Combating social persecution would be much easier if we had societies of our own, nested w/in broader society aka "secret societies" if you will.
Such societies provide employment, aid, and alternatives to life under the main society. But such organizations also are very grave, for they are truly long-term incipient societies which in time must burst-forth alien-like to replace the current one.
The strength abt such groups is that they are not short-term "activist" orgs subject to political events, but long-term self-help groups.
One major complication: secret societies necessarily lead to liberalism etc. because skulking around is inherently weak and weakness is the essence of what is called liberalism. This is why a rightist secret org cannot be in principle secret though in practice it'd be different. Specifically our secret orgs must be paired with public orgs, -founded by secret orgs -which can help guard and focus us away from decadence, and having a presidential relation to the then primarily ministerial functions of our hypothetical secret groups.
That is, our secret groups must be paired with public ones, operating in virtuous dyads and triads.
There is both threat and moral pressure. There are many feel good center leftists who declared their towns to be sanctuary cities and whatnot in order to not be a meany-poo. Making them pay the price for their sanctimony as DeSantis did when flying invaders to Martha's Vineyard was one approach.
The other approach is to provide moral permission for closing the borders. Prove that open borders lead inevitably to empire, and that *foreigners* get killed as a result of leaky borders. Shutting down the borders and turning the U.S. into a good example for the world to follow becomes Effective Altruism.
The most effective right maneuver to date was Bud Light. People stopped drinking it. One very effective en masse strategy would be for employers to stop hiring Ivies. You want to pay $80gs a year for Harvard? Go for it. And for that you get to work for an NGO at $45,000 a year because Wall Street doesn’t want you. Consumer boycotts will work eventually. Part of the delay is the shareholders, who own the company, aren’t the decision makers. Woke fools make the decisions. So, one en masse strategy would be to identify woke companies and have everyone sell their shares. And agree to buy back when the company abandons woke.
A well-written, well-thought argument. The line, "their ultimate goal is to synchronise the informal capacity to inflict social prosecution with the formal ability to inflict actual prosecution" is particularly chilling.
The verbage used by some of the other social media platform reminds me of a line of communist doctrine. This was issued to all schools, during the early days of Bela Kun's red terror: "All utterances and actions in school or outside it directed against Society as a whole (human rights, existing regulations etc.) or revealing a lack of faith, lack of will-power, or a deficient sense of socialistic self-discipline, solidarity, and collaboration will be punished."
Agreed with this analysis, however I think most of the examples you give of positive anti-left action also fall under the headings of the right “lashing out”, “striking back”, and “activism” -- which is what you suggest doesn’t work. It may be most clear to consider what constitutes effective and ineffective anti-left activism

I would submit that the Left has taken ‘social prosecution’ up a notch with the use of Lawfare to punish their enemies.
