Ten things I wish I had know when I left the Democratic Party after I took the red pill.
1) The right is not better. I know they may SEEM better by comparison, but I promise you, they are not better. If they find out you left the left, they will love bomb you. Don’t fall for it.
2) Most people just want to listen to someone else speak their favorite talking point. They don’t care about you, they care about the validation. They are just junkies looking for their fix.
3) It’s ok to not join a different political tribe. But if you do, it will be much easier for you to understand when bullshit is afoot. You already saw your first tribe change before your very eyes - you know what it looks like. Do not expects others to catch on. They can’t see.
4) The left is far worse than you think it is, and you will spend years trying to reverse engineer everything you know about the world to figure out what is true and what is not true.
Fact check EVERYTHING and look at primary source documents whenever possible.
5) What the left IS NOT wrong about is this: The moral majority evangelical Christians own the political right. You will hear from a lot of people saying that’s not true. They are either wrong or they are lying. We’re in a new satanic panic that the influencers are profiting from
6) Do not believe a word that comes out of people’s mouths. Watch their behaviors. Their behaviors will always tell you what they really believe and what their values are.
Most of the people you meet will lie to you to get what they want from you.
7) Don’t believe anyone who tells you there will be a civil war. The conservative right is FAR too lazy for that.
In fact, don’t expect them to do much of anything. But they will whine. A lot.
8) You’ll probably fall in love with certain influencers because they helped you to wake up and were your first connection to the truth.
They will inevitably disappoint you as they reveal their true colors.
They almost all do, eventually.
9) Do not trust any organization that makes money on you defecting, like #WalkAway and #BLEXIT.
I promise you they are not the only places to find community. In fact, they are some of the worst places because all your relationships will depend on your adherence to the tribe
10) We’re probably going to lose. I’m really sorry. We’re just too late and the left is way too far ahead and no one on the right really cares.
Your life will be far easier if you do nothing.
But you may not be able to look yourself in the mirror once you see how it all works.

Want to know why Zohran Mamdani won the NYC Mayor's Democratic Primary?
I recorded a private meeting of the NYC Democratic Socialists of America.
They supported a massive voter registration and turnout effort.
Let's walk through their data. Charts below 🔻

Zohran Mamdani won by 12% of the vote, completely blowing out Andrew Cuomo. You can see all the precincts he won in yellow.
This win is the result of a massive voter registration and voter turnout effort by the NYC DSA, specifically targeting new voters.
On these charts, the orange graph on the left was Zohran support, while the green and purple chart on the right is turnout.
There is a very high correlation between voter turnout and Zohran support, indicating the results were directly because of the get out of the DSA's work.
I'm about to take you inside of Antifa's manual on how to occupy a building.
I got this directly from Antifa in person at a far left event in Boston last month.
It will teach you how to do illegal things. Don't do them.
The zine was originally published in 2012, but was updated in 2024 in response to the student encampment at Columbia.
"To fight for single issues without addressing the state and capitalism in its entirety will not be able to make the transformations we wish to see possible."
The zine teaches people how to scout properties for occupation, find entry points, and disable alarm systems:
"Finding the location of local alarms and being prepared for their removal are important steps in the initial scouting of a building."
One of the zines I picked up at the Queer Marxist gathering in Boston a few weeks ago was a guide for trans people (specifically young people) to do-it-yourself hormorones.
I went online and found digital copies of the transfer and transmasc versions.
We'll cover both versions in this thread. Here are the digital covers.
I'm an independent journalist and analyst who has been doing deep dives and undercover work to expose the far left for four years.
You've probably never heard of me. Because in that time, James Lindsay (@ConceptualJames) has made countless personal attacks on me to try to discredit my work and prevent people from seeing it.
Why? Because the primary source evidence completely disrupts his narrative.
I watched your invention with James with great interest, particularly the parts where you emphasized open intellectual dialogue with anyone acting in good faith.
I would like to talk to you about my work and show you the things James Lindsay has tried to prevent so many people from seeing.
I can explain everything you experienced at Evergreen using the left's own trainings and documents, things I've archived painstakingly over the course of years by going directly into their conferences, trainings, and events and recording them.
And unlike James's work, my work is predictive. I'm able to tell you what the left will do next, weeks, months or even years ahead of time.
I believe this information is important. I also believe it's been massively covered up as a result of relentless personal attacks from James Lindsay and his friends. The evidence speaks for itself.
I hope you will be intellectually honest, and consider looking.
I've provided evidence for the claims I've made about James in the first reply below, and am happy to answer any questions.
My DMs are open.
Receipts and additional documentation can be found here @BretWeinstein, and I'm happy to provide more if need be:
This is one of the pieces of propaganda I got from Antifa in Boston, a guide to how to "stay safe and dangerous in the streets" when they engage in direct action.
I'll walk you through the full guide in this thread.
Goal #1: Find Your Crew
When you're engaging in direct action with Antifa, you have to make sure you have people who have your back. This is called an affinity group.
Make sure you have the same level of arrestability.
Goal #2: Strategy and Tactics
What are your goals? Is it to attack a business? Loot stores? Block a road? Or punch a Nazi?
