AA's secret is he describes things as they are. To whatever extent he has organized others, given a total lack of institutional controls, it has been through making it impossible to ignore reality. Yet people still try their darnedest to remain in captive dreams.
For me, it's been nearly 15 years of trying different ideologies on for size and visiting various echo chambers all the while learning their dogmas.
There are not a lot of new ideas coming from those camps.
2019-2020 really shattered most of my own preconceptions and it's really been a journey of discarding the 20th century as the culmination of many destructive movements that can almost always be traced back to one source.
Really "our side/guys" are not necessarily coming up with new ideas, but more working on novel applications for recovered timeless truth.
Thanks Pete for being instrumental in this reclamation.
It is funny though that they try to use their different labels as spells that they cast against opponents who probably understand their worldview better than they do.
What's funny is that I feel like AA has had influence on power.
He has been a huge organizing force in the past for Our Guys and Our Ideas.
But when you say, "power does what power does", I think of him.
