I write this letter openly and in address to the large number of competent and capable individuals who have spent a great deal of time and energy campaigning on social media for the wider cause. It has enabled the movement as a whole to reach a larger audience than it otherwise would have, and has been instrumental over the last generation in raising awareness of issues that would otherwise have been ignored.

 

The situation we face now is one in which, despite a combined reach of millions of people, who all share their opposition to the current trajectory of the Old Parties of Westminster, there is no serious challenge to the authority of the Westminster establishment. The aftermath of the Southport riots, in which despite the objections of millions of people, thousands were inevitably arrested, charged and prosecuted is a perfect example. Or the aftermath of rallies in London attracting tens of thousands of people, after which leading figures inevitably left the country for fear of arrest, restricting themselves to simply posting their objections on social media.

 

In other words, the reach of millions of people that the social media sphere of the Nationalist Movement has, is politically impotent and has no legitimate, real-world authority.

 

This is a problem which is more than capable of being solved, and which any of you can be instrumental in doing.

 

What it requires that a significant portion of effort being expended on reaching the biggest audience, be diverted into trying to organise that audience. To do this, requires the adoption and promotion of a coherent set of solutions to the most discussed issues. It also requires the willpower to make the short-term sacrifice of narrowing focus onto specific towns, cities and areas in which our voices can be physically heard in person, not just online.

 

In real terms, this means being prepared to shift from being online propagators, to physical organisers. Those with the ability and resolve to put their names and faces into the public sphere, to audiences of thousands, also have the resolve to organise physical groups of people in real life. And I ask them to do it because it must be done. The alternative is that we continue in with a situation in which our people continue to get an increasingly large voice on social media and online spaces, but at the same time become increasingly helpless and powerless in the one sphere that actually matters – the physical world.

 

Our enemies understand perfectly that social media and online influence means nothing unless it has the physical organisation and infrastructure to actually mobilise it. This is why they largely ignore the fact that online discourse goes against them – because they know it doesn’t matter. Our enemies are pathologically evil, but they are not stupid, and they make the moves they make, because they understand what they are doing.

 

The reality remains: If every person currently engaged in social media and influencing, switched their energy to organising even 10% of their audience, in real life, for political and electoral campaigns, you would already have a movement larger than even people like Farage could create (and with significantly more long-term viability).

 

Therefore, my appeal to those leading figures in the Nationalist Movement whose focus is social media, influencing and online content, is to trade that for real-world organising, just as last year I traded protesting for serious political organising. I did this because I recognised that no amount of protesting like a supplicant would lead to change, and that I needed to actually offer an alternative to the system, not just voice my objection to it. And so, I spearheaded the creation of the National Rebirth Party and its Agenda of Twenty Demands. Now I ask that others recognise the same as I did, and take the same step.

 

 Naturally, the choice is yours to make, but I can only articulate the problem honestly, because ultimately, I would rather see the movement succeed in its objectives than fail.
