There's a few things dickie did right.
1. He and his fellow alt right were able to get white racial issues talked about in the open, people who did all they could to avoid a fair discussion on these topics were being forced to engage with them, the debates with sargon of akkad and kraut and tea were the high point of this.
2. It got people who were pro white put and together, forming connections, making a real cultural impact that pushed the Overton window in a good direction, that focus on in real life activism and events was giving our cause a great momentum that we should have stuck with rather than retreating back behind the keyboards in our mothers basement where we returned to being ineffective from being monstrously effective at shifting the cultural landscape.
3. He was good at building communities and a common identity, one that was brand new and stood distinct from everything that came before it, whatever you can say about him in other areas, in this, he gave us something precious, the ability to define ourselves in our own terms and meaning rather than passively allowing our enemies to lie about who we are and what we stand for.
4. Other good points, he changed our image in the public eye significantly in a positive direction, while transforming the public image of our enemies I'm a negative one. We came out looking strong, rebellious, honest, passionate, and courageous, the enemy came out looking the opposite of all.those things, a far cry from the portrayals in popular fiction that was so different that it caused significant cognitive dissonance in (Hello, I just arrived from Cuckchan, please bully me)s who began to question the narrative that they used to understand the world.
Made a lot of good changes for the movement, but I still stand by the other post I made ITT, in that he did a lot of harm to us as well.
