You know what the stereotype of the racial-thinking white person is. They say, oh, they're just making up for some personal inadequacy, maybe a punk teenager who got beat up makes himself feel strong by thinking tough about stormtroopers, or somebody who lost in business blames it on a jew, etc etc. they portray white nationalists as losers essentially.

like most propaganda-- like most stereotypes-- there's a grain of truth in it.

first off, naturally, people who are not sharing in the inducements of the current system, will tend to be more critical of it. they will see some things that the average joe does not want to see.

secondly sure, a socially unfashionable way of thinking, will tend to draw a sample of adherents that are more comfortable being socially disfavored.

neither of these two things is an argument about the truth of the content of WN as a social or poltical idea. just a sort of ad hominem, which even if the stereotype is true, it may be that the premises and conclusions of WN are true as well.

all that said, any "movement" to be successful it must police its own kind, with standards of acceptable conduct, first and foremost amongst themselves. but vis a vis outsiders too, there have to be some standards.

you have to look like you can take out your own garbage. people who would be potential adherents will simply not join if they think we can't take our own garbage. they say if they cant take out their own garbage how will they do it for the nation as a whole?

it gets down to organizational competence. if you dont show it, you wont be able to recruit.
