By now, the reader is aware of the concerted efforts being made (and unfortunately quite successfully) by the cultural Marxists and “social justice warriors” to force their particular ideology off onto the rest of the country. This effort certainly alarms a good many people in our nation, I tend to think many more than will let on publicly, due to the mau-mauing that is received by any who cross the subverters of our culture and nation. Yet, most people feel powerless to do anything about it. It seems that the cultural Marxists – the radical feminists, the race-baiters, the Gaystapo, and the rest – have complete freedom to harass and destroy whomever they choose in the pursuit of their goals.
However, there are some who are beginning to explore the use of fourth generation warfare (4GW) tactics against the cultural Marxists who almost completely dominate our political system and much of the culture. A brief overview of 4GW by William Lind, one of the primary thinkers who introduced the concept, is found here. As well, Lind’s pseudonymous novel, Victoria, provides some practical examples of how 4GW might be carried out, both before and after the shooting starts. Essentially, 4GW argues that as modern states begin to lose legitimacy (for a variety of reasons), non-state actors will begin to reassert themselves politically and militarily. 4GW further raises a set of propositions about the warfare that will be fulfilled that enable the non-state actors to be successful against larger, more powerful, and better equipped enemies.
There is certainly a political application of 4GW that can be made here, casting liberty lovers and traditionalists in the role of the non-state actors (i.e. the outsiders), and the cultural-political hegemony of the cultural Marxists as the state whose legitimacy can (and in this case, ought) to be questioned.
There have been sporadic moves in this direction, mostly arising demotically and probably not even realizing they were engaging in political 4GW. One of the most successful examples of this was the so-called “Chick-Fil-A appreciation day” which occurred a couple of years ago. If you will recall, Chick-Fil-A’s President, Dan Cathy, had made a statement of support for marriage, over and against the travesty known as gay “marriage.” Because of this, the usual crowd of gay mafia ruffians rose up in arms, attacking him, attacking his faith, attacking his business, and generally trying to punish him severely for his deviation from cultural Marxist norms. However, the move completely backfired on the cultural Marxists and Chick-Fil-A ended up receiving a tremendous amount of support, both moral and financial, from customers who mobbed every Chick-Fil-A restaurant in the country and provided the chain with stratospheric sales. Chick-Fil-A has continued to receive residual kudos and sales from this as a result of their stand.
What made “Chick-Fil-A appreciation day” such a resounding success? I believe we can see in it some successfully applied principles of 4GW.
First, those who were pushing for the appreciation day managed to obtain and then keep the moral high ground, both for their own efforts, and for the image of Chick-Fil-A as a company.
While the homosexualists attempted to demonize Chick-Fil-A and Dan Cathy as “haters,” “homophobes,” and all the rest of the tired old panoply of name-calling, those supporting Chick-Fil-A succeeded in gaining control of the narrative and were able to cast the homosexualists and their allies as the bad guys. The gays were the ones who were attempting to stifle free speech, who were attacking someone for merely voicing his deeply-held personal moral conviction. The homosexualists were robbed of the moral high ground and came off looking like the buffoons and bullies that they really were, while Chick-Fil-A and its defenders were cast as the paladins of individual liberty.
Second, and the reason why this narrative capture took place, is that the efforts to defend Chick-Fil-A were decentralized, instead of being directed by one or a few big-name political organizations. The effort to organize the appreciation day moved quickly–social media was used to great effect in this–and simply ran an end run around the homosexualist effort to organize boycotts and protests via their own well-financed yet sclerotic and centralized “gay rights” organizations. They got beat to the punch in the same way a swarm of hornets would be able to get the jump on and outlast a wolf.
Further, because the appreciation day efforts were so decentralized, there was no single “head” that the homosexualists could strike back against. Granted, a few conservative organizations tried to jump on the bandwagon, but they were Johnny-come-latelies who had almost no effect and received almost no attention. Yet, there was no one that the gays could Alinskyize by “picking a target, freezing it, personalizing it, and polarizing it.” The gays had no target that they could hold up as “the big bad anti-gay hatemonger” behind the organization of opposition to them. They simply could not pin down and personalize a million people on Twitter, Facebook, and email, no matter how hard they tried.
Third, Chick-Fil-A’s supporters were able to successfully apply pressure to and exploit a fracture point. One key to successful 4GW is to find ways to keep groups from supporting each other (divide and conquer) or to keep them from supporting the central government. In this case, the fracture point was between the gays and their allies on the one hand, and the large but nebulous body of apolitical, moderate, and low-information people on the other.
Because the supporters of Chick-Fil-A obtained the moral high ground and were able to cast it as a freedom of speech issue, many of these “mushy middle” types who might otherwise have supported the gays because “I don’t think people should hate other people” (or some variant) suddenly took the position that people shouldn’t be hounded and punished for simply speaking freely. Numerous times in the lead-up to the appreciation day, I would see people on various forums make comments along the line of “Well, I support gay rights, but I don’t think they should be attacking Chick-Fil-A’s freedom of speech, so I’m going to Chick-Fil-A.” Nominal supporters of the gays were successfully turned into firmer supporters of Chick-Fil-A.
Fourth, and lastly, the Chick-Fil-A appreciation day was successfully 4GW because it managed to appeal to the larger body of “civilians” in a way that didn’t harm or inconvenience them. A cardinal rule in 4GW is that you try not to harm civilians and other innocents, thus turning them and their families, friends, and tribes against you. Instead, you gain their support by aiding them and seeking to convince them that you’re on their side.
To illustrate this case here, allow me to first illustrate the opposite principle – which is that boycotts so often fail in their intended purposes. As a case in point, look at the boycott of Disney that the Southern Baptist convention attempted to carry out in response to Disney’s “gay day” promotion of the homosexualist agenda. On paper, this boycott should have been a powerful deterrent. The Southern Baptists are one of the largest denominations in America; they are also one of the most conservative, and Southern Baptists tend to have many more children per family than the typical childless Episcopalian lesbian couple.
Yet, the boycott was a complete and utter flop. Why? Well, while most Southern Baptists probably agreed with the boycott in principle, each family was also thinking, “Yeah, but my kids really want to go to Disney World. It’ll be okay if we go, since everyone else is boycotting.” And everyone was thinking the same thing, so the boycott failed.
Let’s face it – Americans are a soft and pampered people. They don’t like to give things up. To get them to act on something that is seemingly unimportant in the grand scheme of things (compared to, I guess, a government rounding people up and putting them in concentration camps), you have to make it benefit them. That’s what Chick-Fil-A appreciation day did when it BUYcotted, rather than boycotted. People got to go and enjoy the camaraderie of being with like-minded believers. There was a sense of community. People got to treat themselves to tasty chicken sandwiches and waffle fries. People wanted to get caught up in the excitement. In short, it gained support because it was able to positively appeal to the “civilian” population of non-activists who personally gained both tangibly and intangibly from it. Compared to that, hanging out in front of a Chick-Fil-A with the other five sodomites and screeching obscenities at people just didn’t have the same appeal, which is why the homosexualist counter-boycotts failed miserably.
There are many lessons to be learned from analyzing what took place on August 1, 2012. While the homosexualist agenda has advanced largely because of judicial imposition, large numbers of normal Americans took the opportunity to strike back against the gay lobby, and the gays took a huge black eye that day. That, of course, was merely one battle in a long string of them. But, if we systematically began to apply 4GW principles to dealing with the homosexualist lobby when they attempt to browbeat folks and enforce their cultural delusions on the rest of us, we might see more, and more consistent, victories over them, as well as the other cultural Marxists. 
Good Post!
Homosexuality existed from the beginning of time as it is evident in the bible. But if genes predispose a certain behavior but the environment doesn’t support it, then that behaviour won’t manifest. There is a big difference between acceptance and tolerance. We should be a culture that can accept the fact that there are certain individuals that are born with certain predisposition but shouldn’t support it as being normal.
How absolutely Hilarius that you think a FAST FOOD CHAIN
can save Jesus from the meat grinder…you are so doomed…
Facing the Abyss of hot gay post-human cyborg pet sex, the white
Conservative wants to take one step back. A very small faction is
willing to go further, two steps back, maybe three. Conservatives
absolutely despise the post modern condition of the west but cannot come
to terms with the fact that it is entirely the product of the total
historical victory of their civilization: of Whiteness, Liberalism,
Democracy, and Capitalism, over every competitor or alternative. In fact
the Conservative was routed by the Hippy (completely a product of the
west), Jesus was murdered by Walt Disney (completely a product of the
west), the historical community and the family unit were abolished by
corporate capitalism (completely a product of the west), and the
delusional foreign policies of the neoconservatives are entirely a
product of your west as well.
One step back from the Abyss is not an alternative. Any “step back”
position is historically doomed and completely untenable. The culture
war against post modernity has already been lost in the west. The white
baby raised with a smartphone is already a satanic cyborg, they just
haven’t gotten around to the physical modifications yet. The Happy Meal
will be deeply implanted before she can talk. As will be many other
things…
I basically agree but why even accept it? Genetic predisposition is being pushed as a trojan horse for a “gay identity.” Then they rub the “Celibate Gay Christians” thing in our faces just to keep desensitizing us. Genetics = innocence, sympathy, civil rights, game over. I think the first time the bible mentions sodomites is the destruction of Sodom (not a fable). Of course perverted temptations are not sin in themselves, but neither do they imply genetics or identity.
Really enjoyed this one.
Next up on the issues plate – normalising robosexuality?
I’m against it. But then again, I’m not robonormative.
Why even accept it? While I agree with you on the fact that Genetic predisposition is being pushed as a Trojan horse for a “gay identity, you have to remember that genetic makeup cannot be altered, but some lifestyle and environmental modifications can change the outcome. I remember my cousin telling me about twin girls who were in her 7th grade class, one was interested in boys, while her twin sister had crush on girls and was afriad to admit it. This is back in the day when the extent of public acceptance of ‘gays and gay marriages did not exist. There were no environmental factors that played in that matter. At the same time I recently worked with a mother of three children who is now a Lesbian. How can it be explained? One is genetic predisposition while the other is environmental/social factors. I have to be ok with some who can’t help how they feel vs someone who chooses to be a lesbian to feel loved and accepted because she can’t get any men to do the same. What infuriates me is the fact that we live in a society who is racing towards modernity while sacrificing the sanctity of good virtue.
TIM DUNKIN does not appear to advocate a step-back, does not appear to advocate liberalism-light.
He’s using what’s around him, what achieves results in the short-term. This is Sun Zhu not, ah, Karl Rove.
Anyway, I agree with your concern with post-humanism/transhumanism. The march of “progress” leads off a cliff of relativity, by which I mean that the definition of progress will become relative and our future won’t be so bright as we today would judge it.
We’ll need a core, our faith and identity, to unite around to survive and retain sanity within such a sci-fi dystopic future, which hopefully won’t come. I’ve seen Ghost of the Shell too when in college, haha. And I’ve read Brave New World in horror, recoiled at William Pierce’s “cosmotheism”, grown sick reading “right-wing” articles about “progress”, including the apparent fear that Idiocracy will triumph before biotech can gain a footing… Personally I’d prefer idiocracy.
Politics requires multiple fronts. I believe Tim Dunkin is productive here. 4GW I imagine requires us to act as we deem best, not to recommend others to act as we’d like. What I mean is you could put up a website advocating the necessary core and strategies for survival, which is to say I’m recommending how you should act, the opposite of what I just wrote…
As Traditionalists, we need to encourage people to overcome their worldly whims and desires and to become the best versions of themselves. We should not “be okay with it” because homosexuality is a destructive behavior, both to the self and to the tribe. We should be doing everything we can to help those people with their disability.
You have to pick and choose your battle; would you rather pick one that you will fail or the one that has a slight chance of victory?
How realistic is it to help all those people and change them? Or how do you know they are willing to accept your help? But on the other hand, a more realistic approach would be to let them self-destruct; just don’t let them destruct others by tolerating their behaviours and giving them rights like “Marriage”. It might be too late as you know 35 states have legalized same sex marriage. As traditionalist, we need to prevent it from happening to the rest of the country. I prefer to live in a time where homosexuality was considered a sin (along with many other things) in the public sqaure, but the fact is I don’t and I need to deal with it the best way possible. Hoping to live in the past is not going to help anything.

How realistic is it to help all those mothers and change them? Or how do you know they are willing to accept your help? But on the other hand, a more realistic approach would be to let them have therapeutic abortion — just don’t let them destruct others by tolerating elective abortion and giving them rights like “abortion on demand”. It might be too late as you know 35 states have legalized abortion in cases of rape, incest, and threat to the life of the mother.. As traditionalists, we need to prevent abortion from being legalized in the rest of the country. I prefer to live in a time where abortion is considered a sin (along with many other things) in the public square, but the fact is that therapeutic abortion is here to stay and I need to deal with it the best way possible. Hoping to live in the 1950s is not going to help anything.
How absolutely Hilarius that you think a BISHOP OF ROME can save Europe from the meat grinder…you are so doomed…
Facing the might of the USSR and inevitable triumph of the socialist brotherhood of nations embodied in the Warsaw Pact, the Western European wants to take one step back. A very small faction is willing to go further, two steps back, maybe three. Western Europeans absolutely despise the decadent condition of the so-called Alliance nations but cannot come to terms with the fact that NATO is entirely the product of the total historical victory of Marxism: of socialism, Liberalism, People’s Democracy, and anti-imperialism, over every competitor or alternative. In fact the Western European was routed by les Soixante-huit, (completely a product of socialism), Jesus was murdered by Che Guevara (completely a product of socialism), the historical community and the family unit were abolished by people’s collectives (completely a product of socialism), and the delusional foreign policies of the NATO imperialists are entirely a product of socialism as well.
One step back from the total victory of the USSR is not an alternative. Any “step back” position is historically doomed and completely untenable. The culture war against Marxism-Leninism has already been lost in Europe. The Western European baby raised with TV news, John Lennon records, and Jane Fonda movies is already a shock worker of the Revolution, they just haven’t gotten around to joining the Party yet. The Communist Manifesto will be deeply implanted before she can join the workforce. As will be many other things…
How does one employ non-violent 4GW against the judiciary? In the US system they seem to be the schwerpunkt of cultural Marxist hegemony, even more than the federal bureaucracy.
You can always use 4GW in a jury setting with nullification. Now you would never say nullification, but you could add “reasonable doubt” to vote not guilty, on cultural Marxist laws.
