How the Dissident Right Can Thrive Despite Adversity Andrew Torba, August 22, 2024 Share this: The dissident right, a faction of the political right that is dissatisfied with the trajectory of the Republican party and its leadership, faces significant obstacles in terms of financial support and patronage. The current political and economic establishment, which greatly benefits from maintaining the postwar neoliberal consensus shared by both the Republican and Democrat machines, controls most of the serious capital. This makes it difficult for alternative voices, businesses, and movements to gain traction and sustain their efforts. However, there are several massive wealth transfer events on the horizon that will change this dynamic, providing the dissident right with unprecedented opportunities for growth and influence. Generational Wealth Transfer The impending generational wealth transfer from Baby Boomers to Millennials and Gen X over the next decade or so will provide an influx of resources to the dissident right. As this wealth changes hands, there will be more opportunities for individuals and organizations aligned with the dissident right to secure funding and support. This transfer of wealth will likely lead to a shift in political and cultural priorities, as younger generations tend to have different values and beliefs than their predecessors. The dissident right certainly has a fair number of boomer supporters for which we are tremendously grateful, but by in large the majority of this generation is very committed to protecting the existing uniparty regime over dissident ideals. Bitcoin’s Potential “Moon” Event The potential for Bitcoin to experience a significant price increase, or “going to the moon,” will create a new class of wealthy individuals who are sympathetic to the dissident right’s cause. Many Bitcoin holders are already aligned with the dissident right’s views, and a substantial increase in the cryptocurrency’s value will provide them with the financial means to support the movement more robustly. This influx of capital will enable the dissident right to expand its reach, fund new initiatives, and challenge the dominant political and cultural narratives. The Rise of AI as a Net Benefit for the Dissident Right As my friend Nate Fischer pointed out: the emergence of advanced AI technologies is poised to bring about significant changes in the workforce, with far-reaching implications for the dissident right and the broader political landscape. As AI begins to replace tasks traditionally performed by political opponents, such as professional managerial class (PMC) functionaries, it is likely to shift the balance of power and influence in favor of those who lean right. One of the key advantages that the dissident right may gain from the rise of AI is an increase in the relative income of individuals engaged in executive agency, problem-solving, and skilled physical world work. These types of work tend to be more aligned with right-leaning values and are less susceptible to automation and replacement by AI. As the demand for these skills grows, so too will the earning potential and economic clout of those who possess them. This shift in the workforce will have profound implications for the dissident right, as it will enable individuals and organizations to invest more resources into building alternative institutions and supporting the broader movement. With greater financial security and stability, the dissident right will be better positioned to challenge the dominant cultural and political narratives and push for real change in our society. Moreover, the rise of AI may also lead to a decrease in the influence of left-leaning institutions, such as universities and mainstream media outlets, as their traditional functions are increasingly automated and replaced by more efficient and cost-effective technologies. This could create new opportunities for the dissident right to fill the void left by these declining institutions and establish a stronger foothold in the cultural and intellectual landscape. What Do We Do In The Meantime? The dissident right must rely on its own resources and the support of like-minded individuals to continue its efforts. While this may be challenging, it is a necessary step until the landscape shifts in our favor. We are like the pilgrims landing in America with nothing but the clothes on our backs and the support of one another. I can’t stress this enough: we need to support one another. We are all we have right now, but a time is fast approaching where we will have an extraordinary amount of wealth to fund our movement, organizations, and voices to rebuild our nations. By fostering a strong sense of community and mutual support, the dissident right can weather the current challenges and emerge stronger and more resilient than ever before. Gab is a prime example of how the dissident right can thrive despite facing significant financial and institutional challenges. For the past eight years, Gab has existed without the support of institutional capital, relying instead on the generosity and dedication of its community of users. This grassroots funding model has enabled Gab to remain true to its core values of free speech and individual liberty, without bowing to the pressures and influences of mainstream backers. The success of Gab is a testament to the power of community support and the importance of investing in platforms and organizations that align with our values. Without the financial contributions of its users, Gab would not be the thriving platform it is today. This urgent dependence on the support of the people is what sets Gab apart from other social media companies and underscores the importance of building a strong, resilient community. To ensure the continued growth and success of Gab, it is crucial that users actively support the platform by donating, upgrading to GabPRO, and purchasing merchandise from the Gab Shop. These contributions not only help to keep the lights on but also send a powerful message that there is a strong and dedicated community of individuals who believe in the importance of free speech and the power of alternative media. As we look to the future, it is essential that we remain focused on our goals and values, even in the face of adversity. The coming wealth transfer events will provide us with the resources we need to effect real change, but it is up to us to ensure that we use these resources wisely and in accordance with our principles. By working together and supporting one another, we can build a brighter future for ourselves and for generations to come.
