Apolitical Ascent

Quiet Commitment > Loud Rhetoric

India has over 1,200 universities, many offering liberal arts courses predictably filled with liberals teaching them. However, the core issue goes beyond this surface presence - it's the silent capture of academia by liberal elites and Marxists.

In the loud randirona filled environment like twitter, where many of our people often get carried away with anger and outrage at the actions of our "enemies", people fail to recognize one of the most impactful avenues for bringing actual change - setting aside partisan posturing and focusing intently on honing your craft. 

It is a strategy the left has long employed to great effect, quietly yet methodically colonizing the ivory towers of academia through sheer dedication and productivity. They didn't merely install ideological loyalists; they worked relentlessly as foot soldiers motivated by ideology rather than fleeting emotions.

They dedicated themselves to the arduous tasks of writing papers, books, and studies that allowed their ideas, although often biased and backed with malintent, to permeate the scholarly mainstream - some legitimate, some dubious. With methodical purpose, they populated universities and thought-shaping institutions like News publishers and book publishing houses.

Their success stems from an understanding of a core truth: major change arises not from outrage, but from years of individual skills-honing and meticulous insemination into institutions that shape minds.

Rather than raging on social media, a more effective approach is to follow the left's lead - pursue academic rigor and research prolifically to seed your ideology into the scholarly mainstream over time. Build a corpus of works that cannot be ignored before seeking to shift academia's balance.

 In the entertainment industry, whether in Hollywood or Bollywood, the left has secured influential positions by prioritizing self-improvement and professional excellence. Rather than overtly promoting their political agenda, they focused on becoming the best in their respective fields—whether as writers, musicians, or filmmakers. They silently occupied seats of power and then used it to subtly promote their agenda.

Their success is a testament to the power of single-minded focus, in stark contrast to the right's more collective mentality.

  Conservatives often adopt a collective approach and fall into the trap of mistaking volume for valor. We express our anger through the outrage amplifiers of social media, thinking the loudness of our voices alone can move mountains. Without meaningful actions and strong support, such attempts are like the annoying sound of nails scratching a chalkboard - they create a lot of noise and irritate people but mean very little.

  Reflecting on my own life, A few years ago, I completely distanced myself from political discourse and instead focused on my hobbies and passions. I muted political keywords, unfollowed political figures, and blocked friends who talked politics on social media. I was done with it; stepping back allowed me to make significant personal and professional progress & I was able to achieve a higher level of mastery, which helped me further my career goals and gain a tiny amount of influence in my field.

  This experience taught me that true excellence requires undivided attention. You cannot excel simultaneously as a political writer and a musician, a painter and a YouTuber, or a software engineer and an author. Focus on one thing and perfect it.

  The Left's incrementalist model, for all its flaws, grasps a core truth: major change arises not from factional rage-tweets and twitter beefs but from years of individual skills-honing and meticulous institutional insemination.

  I see tremendous potential within our community. Many of you possess intelligence and talent, yet distractions such as social media debates can impede your progress. We should realize, the ephemeral nature of platforms like Twitter pales in comparison to the enduring value of developed skills.

  For instance, if your goal is to establish a Hindu media company just as influential and credible as New York Times, WaPo or ThePrint , that champions conservative values, you must first excel as a journalist. Building a strong personal brand and gaining credibility takes years of commitment and hard work. Real, impactful work is accomplished not through fleeting online interactions but through sustained efforts to refine your skills and collaborate with like-minded individuals.

  An aspiring Hindu filmmaker, for instance, who wants to make films dedicated to shedding light on glory of the Indic civilization & celebrate our cultural heritage cannot simply wish a major studio will greenlight a pet project on faith - she must first begin by mastering the art of scriptwriting. Write multiple scripts, seek feedback, and refine her work. Attend film festivals, pitch her ideas to producers, and collaborate with other talented individuals who share the vision. Success in the film industry is rarely instant; it requires years of perseverance and dedication. By focusing on producing high-quality content, you will eventually garner the attention and support necessary to make films that resonate with audiences and promote your values. Only then do elite gatekeepers take notice.

  The people behind the legendary Japanese anime film "Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama" that we all love and cherish weren't Kattar Hindutva wadis that wanted to fight the Islamists and "expose hypocritical libtards" , they were just artists that were exceptional at what they did.

  Their impact on Hindu culture has been higher than someone like squint neon who is very smart and capable, but wastes his energy creating ephemeral content that people will love , but forget in 12 hours.

  Two of the most valuable word-cellers on our side, J Sai Deepak and Anand Ranganathan didn't spend their youth fighting strangers online.

  They worked. They honed their word-celling abilities, and hence, today, they can punch people with words without moving a finger.

  This isn't a glamorous path. It means turning inward before expanding outward; becoming so elite in one's field that excellence is impossible to ignore before seeking footholds of influence. It means writers must write, artists must art - honing their voices through solitary struggle rather than throwing tantrum online, and you have to do it keeping in mind why you started and what triggered you, you should have clarity in what the goal is, and that is annihilating the Marxists and driving people away from them.

Achieving lasting political transformation takes multiple generations of unglamorous hard work. It requires a grinding persistence that our modern instant-gratification society can't stomach. 

  Those truly bent on shaking up the system must ignore the noise peddlers who confuse whining with winning. Tuning out that static, you simply have to put your head down and grind - honing your craft to elite levels over decades. 

  Only then, with undeniable excellence forcing the gate-keepers' hands, can you start reshaping the gates themselves. It's just focused work, not a series of rallying cries on twitter about libtards or muzzies.
