The Kanye thing was a big deal. A direct line can be drawn from Kanye/Chappel to Dan/Von/Tate. Normie anti-semitism is a thing and has millions of followers. It's incredibly popular. You can go on Twitter and see normie guys with 10's of thousands of likes on their posts from former normie people.
Think of it in the Alex Jones context. Alex Jones is huge. He has a huge following, he's well known, he's the normie 'far right' guy. He's getting phased out. People don't care about Nazi breakaway civilizations as much anymore. It's not the core of the new discourse. The new Alex Jones is Nick Fuentes, and that's a good thing.
>but he's degen, did this stuff, has bad people, etc.
So did Jones, it never stopped normies.
If you think of normies as a race and not an idea you can see how the shift is happening. It doesn't matter how disgusted you are with them, "they're dumb, brown, etc" whatever. That's populism right there. That's what an idea centered on the middle of the bellcurve looks like in its expression.
People said Kanye was dumb, but Kanye knows what people like better than you do. The gimp mask didn't turn off the middle of the bellcurve. 120IQ and up people may not have liked it, but that's what websites like Counter Currents and Amren are for. That's who Scott Greer is for.
Middle of the bellcurve anti-semitism is good and it was inevitable if we are going to win anyway. Eric Streicher, the guy who ran Der Sturmer, had an IQ of 98.
Normies are a race, that race likes certain things, you probably don't like certain things, but Kanye, Tate, Dan, and Theo von all know what normies like. You not liking it is more autists/high IQ people being disgusted by normies/low IQ people than it is a concrete ideological difference. Candace Owens being dumb and brown is not disqualifying to her audience.
Personally, I think it's good that anti-semitism has expanded its geneology. There are more people following this line of thought than people who talk to each other. It's not on a couple forums or imageboards or social media circles or irl orgs, it's branched out.
That's a good thing ultimately. I'd rather have one of the new people be the far right guy than Alex Jones. And that's a definite evolution from the past and it's in a good direction. It makes life easier for the rest of us. Your brand of high-IQ anti-semitism benefits from this new environment.
As good as elite theory is, populist theory still has a lot of ground and great importance on shaping the culture and the discourse. If Trump does things which benefit us, one of the prerequs will be tens of millions of people believing what they do, and they will do it in their own way. And if tens of millions of people believe what we do and think in the ways we do, when Trump's gone things will actually be better, because Trump is a boomer, and a real leader can emerge from the people who can rally millions or tens of millions of Americans to listen to them.
You may not like the guy who eventually becomes America's Hitler. But it will have good results.
