It's still ok for PR or advertising purposes, but more critical audiences may be skeptical.

O.K>, I'm not liking the blablameter now! I'm calling bullshit on it.

"Success is the important thing. Propaganda is not a matter for average minds, but rather a matter for practitioners. It is not supposed to be lovely or theoretically correct. I do not care if I give wonderful, aesthetically elegant speeches, or speak so that women cry. The point of a political speech is to persuade people of what we think right. I speak differently in the provinces than I do in Berlin, and when I speak in Bayreuth, I say different things than I say in the Pharus Hall. That is a matter of practice, not of theory. We do not want to be a movement of a few straw brains, but rather a movement that can conquer the broad masses. Propaganda should be popular, not intellectually pleasing. It is not the task of propaganda to discover intellectual truths." ― Joseph Goebbels

"What does Christianity mean today? National Socialism is a religion. All we lack is a religious genius capable of uprooting outmoded religious practices and putting new ones in their place. We lack traditions and ritual. One day soon National Socialism will be the religion of all Germans. My Party is my church, and I believe I serve the Lord best if I do his will, and liberate my oppressed people from the fetters of slavery. That is my gospel." ― Joseph Goebbels

"Natural Aristocracy the reason for why SF is awake but others are not?
After spending a lot of time reading a lot of different people, from Hitler to Buchanan to Hans Hoppe, (viewpoints range from socialist to NS to conservative and paleo-conservative or libertarian), I have more or less decided that Marxism and egalitarianism are the most incorrect things to have ever plagued humankind. There is, in fact, natural inequality. I am not necessarily referring to races of people, but really individuals within races as well. I'm going to pose a question after assuming that:

Could it be possible our woes come from the fact that most of us here on Stormfront are more or less part of a "natural aristocracy" of white people? We're obviously not all gifted with the ability to be millionaires or the best athletes, but perhaps this is why we're "aware" of the situation around us while others are not? Some just need to be awakened out there in the "sheeple" masses, but will others? I doubt it. They will only follow strong leadership in the long run.

Now, don't assume I am for inequality of the law among white people. No one has the "right" to rule over another should one person be punished for a murder more harshly than someone of a lower class that committed the same kind of crime. In a natural aristocracy, people tend to "know" who the leaders are in their towns, counties, parishes, states, national governments etc.. It is only when governments (usually through democracies or dictatorships) eliminates the "best genes" or their way of acquiring power that this system breaks down." -- an anonymous poster at stormfront
