By the way, when I called the IDW a bunch of "cranky individualists" in an earlier tweet in this thread I meant it as a high complement.

I think the IDW has tremendous value as far as knowledge-synthesis, but lacks the capacity for power-projection. We need both if we are going to win the fight against the new racial orthodoxy. In the next year, I hope to organize a forum for the IDW and conservatives to unite.

Power projection generally comes from existing structures. Most of the IDW is very skeptical of the tendency to abuse that power, as so many have when power becomes the end goal. We need our own checks to make sure we do not succumb to this finite mindset of power games as well.
