The Narcotic of Minor Celebrity<\/a> ), that should be of interest to most of us who are the audience for the right wing blogs and sites.\u00a0 All of these judgements are extremely subjective and it definitely matters whose ox is being gored but there are some good points being raised.\u00a0 It\u2019s the nature of modern web commerce that drama increases web traffic and so we get a lot of drama.\u00a0 But attacking each other turns it into a zero sum game where someone wins and someone loses.\u00a0 That doesn\u2019t build a community.\u00a0 I guess the question comes down to what the right wing web presence will look like in the future.\u00a0 And it\u2019s an important question.\u00a0 Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are shutting down conservative content providers and Google has demonstrated its willingness to selectively hide right wing content.\u00a0 Assuming that nothing changes another method for promoting right wing messages and businesses will be needed.\u00a0 With respect to this I have a little bit of interesting data.\u00a0 I tried out Google AdWords for about a year.\u00a0 I determined that the clicks from that source had an almost 100% bounce rate and almost never returned.\u00a0 So chances are they are click-farm zombie hits.\u00a0 And this highlights the necessity for growing our own stuff and supporting an ecosystem on the right.\u00a0 This will require a certain amount of cooperation and also a reasonable amount of tolerance for people with at least slightly different ideologies.\u00a0 I see the bickering and purity tests as counterproductive.\u00a0 I don\u2019t espouse locking hands and singing kumbaya with the SJWs but I don\u2019t think there is any danger of that anyway.\u00a0 I think that attacking people who are more or less on our side is slowing down the coalescing of a consensus that is occurring on the right.\u00a0 What seems to be missing is a framework that allows all these disparate elements to engage and allow for synergy.\u00a0 I imagine the Republican party should be that framework except it\u2019s not.\u00a0 It\u2019s part of the problem instead.\u00a0 It\u2019s more or less occupied territory.\u00a0 I\u2019d say we need a new party except that\u2019s a recipe for disaster.\u00a0 What\u2019s needed is a cultural\/commercial enterprise to give the right a space to interact.\u00a0 The closest thing I can think of is a right wing version of Amazon.\u00a0 That\u2019s a tall order.\u00a0 Maybe Peter Thiel could get to work on it.\u00a0 In the meantime we all should do our part to support anything that halfway looks like a step in the right direction.\u00a0 But boy it\u2019s hard to find.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The ZMan has a post today ( The Narcotic of Minor Celebrity ), that should be of interest to most of us who are<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,245,237],"tags":[947,250,188,343,14,886],"class_list":["post-2806","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events","category-review-of-article","category-reviews","tag-attacking-to-the-right","tag-right-wing-alternatives","tag-right-wing-media","tag-thezman-com","tag-vox-day","tag-zman"],"yoast_head":"\n
