The internet provides a really massive market for attention. Officially the market is servers, bandwidth, and shareholder investment, but underneath that people are making careers by getting enough followers and clicks to become micro-celebrities.
However, with this, we encounter The Metallica Problem: anything distinctive will eventually conform to the demands of its audience, not its internal direction which is why people found it insightful, refreshing, or informative in the first place.
This syndrome gets its name from a heavy metal band that broke free from the conventions of its time to discover a sound of its own, but as its audience increased, it became clear that the audience could get even bigger if it wrapped the same old stuff in that new sound.
Over time, it completely gave up on the new sound entirely and focused on its own recombination of older sounds that was distinctive enough to brand, familiar enough to get mega-popular, and artistically uncontroversial enough that it escaped censorship and outrage.
Everything gets beaten down into the same old thing because the audience demands it.
Similarly, in politics, “nothing ever happens” because the voters demand avoiding risk. Thus you get compromises that retain none of their original direction but still purport to have that direction, leading to the same old thing in a new costume.
Internet politics feature people who want to be strong and independent with edgy viewpoints that somehow avoid shocking their audience. They stay to the edge of the Overton Window but never go further, and as a result, they are always playing catch-up to events from decades ago.
Right now, the far-Right is in disarray because it has been lapped. This delights the micro-celebrities because now they can pounce on the issue of the week with an idiosyncratic opinion and those clicks and follows keep rolling in from the clueless.
Their original audience, who gave them a name by seeking something other than the same old, have since moved on, but that audience is tiny, where the wider herd of people looking for easy answers and comfortable compromises is huge.
Right-wingers on the internet thus perform an elaborate dance around the obvious, afraid to state it because it will shift them outside the Overton Window, while hinting at riskier subjects in order to reap those rebel points from the angry audience.
We can fix the West right now by one-upping the mainstream politicians who are now talking about deporting illegals.
We need to demand an end to diversity. Any diversity erases our culture, creates constant conflict as groups vie for power, and eventually genetically erases us through admixture. Even minor admixture like in Rome after the Fall resulted in a population with far fewer abilities.
When White people stand up and demand mono-ethnic nations, the political system will unravel.
Right now it is delighting in the fact that the conservative audience is incoherent. There are ten thousand viewpoints that conflict with each other, so we can discuss things endlessly and get nowhere.
Let us instead unite on a simple goal: we want zero diversity. Use the one drop rule. We want no one here but our founding ethnic group, the Anglo-Saxons. Everyone else goes back to their ethnic homelands, whether illegal or not, or good guys or not.
Diversity threatens to destroy us. This fight is not about the other groups being bad or good, but about our desire to preserve our group. We do that at this point by repeating endlessly the demand for mono-ethnic nations.
You will notice that none of the micro-celebrities will touch this. They would rather just keep being edgy with minimal risk. However, we are going to have to face risk and adversity to get what we need, which is the end of diversity, and we get it by demanding mono-ethnic nations.
