This is like the abc of white nationalism. Sincere leaders look for the right key to unlock this activism. No one has found it yet. It may not exist. But I don't blame men like Rockwell for trying.

This is true. It behooves us to use the "let a thousand flowers bloom" strategy since we have no idea whatsoever which one will work. Or, worse, which combination of approaches will work. This is why I was pretty cool about the Taylor Memorandum, which was initially, pretty shocking. He's playing one strategy, and we another, and so on.

Given that Thomas' observations of Rockwell are pretty accurate, I still side with Bardamu's evaluation. In science, failed experiments yeild the most valuable data; they are the ones that tell us: don't go down this road.

Rockwell performed two services; in an age of universal degeneracy, he saved a worldview that would evetually resurface with the rise of the Internet. As silly or wrongheaded his approach was, he preserved a great deal of valuable data - much of it, if I am not mistaken, used by William Pierce to construct his very valuable and interesting essays - as well as showing kindness to, and curating the works of, Savitri Dev, until such time as she could reach a larger audience. Surely that is an achievement of some magnitude.

In other words, sometimes the people who preserve knowledge in a Dark Age are pretty disreputable characters. Think of all the lice-ridden buggerers in monasteries who unwittingly preserved the Greco-Roman inheritance.

Finally, Rockwell, along with Duke, is the ultimate argument that "dress up" does not play in Peoria. While I may not completely support Taylor's version of suit 'n tie dress up either (I'm a Casual Friday Racialist), Rockwell's failed experiment affords us an understanding that no amount of what VNN once called "Race Trekkies" could be tolerated. Like the Med-Nord thing, never in public.

And if in private, no pictures!
