Yes,it’s an immediately effective meme, for the reasons White&Normal and Ice Knight have stated, but I disagree that we should hop on it. It has plenty of action from other folk who far outnumber us, and we should employ our own small numbers in spreading our own memes, which are memes for the long term.

As Bob said, when things get too easy, be wary, so let’s compare “It’s okay to be white” with its stronger cousin, our own “White self-hatred is SICK!!!”

“It’s okay to be white” has the advantage that “anyone who objects can SO EASILY be labeled anti-white,” whereas “White self-hatred is SICK!!!” can, like ALL of our memes, strike an audience as overstating the case. Our memes, all of them, are long-term memes that require long periods of being normalized before they don’t sound over the top to most of our white audience. “White Genocide” is still too over the top for most pro-Whites to get behind. It hasn’t yet sunken into their bones that White Genocide is real, and it hasn’t yet sunk into their bones that White self-hatred is SICK, and if I’m wrong and it has sunk it, then they still can’t tolerate being laughed at while they hammer those statements long enough that they sink into the white audience.

Imagine if the Black movement of the 1960s had begun with “It’s okay to be Black.” Even with today’s overlay of irony to almost everything that’s said by younger pro-whites, there is something sniveling about that statement. Are pro-whites at demos going to chant, “It’s okay…to be…White”? Well, possibly I’m not sufficiently in touch with the irony of it all, but that seems absurd to me.

Things that work in the short run can unfortunately take root and be serious impediments in the long run. Twenty years from now we don’t want whites shuffling around saying “It’s okay to be white.”

My two cents, and even if I’m wrong, let’s stick to our own material, since it’s all delayed-fuse dynamite and there are so few of us!

I should have researched what was going on before I commented, and then thought longer and commented shorter. Apologies.

I see “ItsOkayToBeWhite” is doing great work activating people, and it can also be used by us. Like Trump’s momentum.

If I haven’t already destroyed the thread, can we brainstorm? (Or has the moment already passed for this meme?)

Here’s my suggestions for tweets:

#Imagine if #ItsOkayToBeWhite were true. #Whitepeople wouldn’t be chased down by #diversity.

#Imagine if #ItsOkayToBeWhite were true. #Therapists wouldn’t need to tell their #white patients, “White self-hatred is SICK!!!”

Wuntz, yes I agree our own memes should remain our primary focus, as we’ve already demonstrated their massive long term potential. However, anywhere large numbers of eyeballs are pointing is always a good place to piggyback and spread our memes.

I think it was Horus that pointed it out, but I also very much agree. One his main criticisms of the wider alt-Right is their desire to continually create new memes, but then a lack of discipline in making sure they penetrate the wider population before moving on to the next flavor of the month.

BUGS was built on strict discipline and thousands of hours of work repeating a very small number of highly refined memes. Lack that discipline and they will lack any real effectiveness.
