His "bottom line" is pretty close to what I've been preaching forever now - act locally. The only way to stop, or at least slow, the rot is to prevent it from taking effect locally, or minimize and eliminate it if it already has. A suppurating wound will not heal until it is cleaned. It will go to gangrene if left to rot.
Andrew Torba over at Gab has taken up another component - sort of. He's been hammering on about building "parallel institutions" for a couple of years now. Unfortunately, he pushes his religion too heavily along with that, and that's not very capitalist of him. Capitalists don't care where their money comes from, and will happily part even Marxist from their money. I'm not sure what progress he's made in his effort because I can't wade all the way through his e-mails about it. Too much alien religion being shoved down your throat can choke you to death, so I can't make it all the way through his tirades. He might have a good idea, and he might be successful with it, but I won't know because I can't listen to him for very long. His Christianity is alien to me - it's not my Christianity.
All I can add to that is that folks need to organize an underground locally, and do it now if they haven't already. You're more likely to need it than not, because for all the "tolerance" the Authoritarian Left preaches, they don't practice much of it. They are only "tolerant" towards the like-minded, and because of that I expect they will try to outlaw most of the measures we can take to mitigate their damage. Hence, an underground is needed. Not only an underground politically, but also economically. When they control the money, folks need an alternate means of exchange to live through it. I suggest a barter economy, because they cannot control money you are not using. Economies naturally develop from barter systems as the system shakes out just what it finds to be most valuable to most people. In that way, a generally accepted medium of exchange is developed.
One of the main things is to not involve yourself in the institutions they create. Don't let them hold that kind of power over your head. They can't control your money if you don't use theirs. they can't poison your mind if you keep it away from their "educational" establishments. They can't surreptitiously "condition" you if you are not partaking of the "entertainments" they are using to do the conditioning. If they are over-riding your vote by stuffing ballot boxes, where is the profit in participating in their (s)elections?
Just as they said during the 60's when they were laying the groundwork, the only viable option to combat them is to "tune in, turn on, and drop out". Separate yourselves into a parallel society, and make sure that parallel society is what controls your locality - whether it has to do it above ground or underground.
It's like joining an individualist commune, writ large.
