The problem with this strategy is that it is logically inconsistent with victory.
The US military has gotten its “tooth to tail” ratio down to 4:1, which means there are 4 support personnel needed for each active fighter to be able to do their job.
If you want a coherent, strong movement, than you need at least 4 times as many passive contributors, informants and collaborators as you need active zealots, proselytizers and fighters.
This is why Islam is so successful. For every one boot on the ground jihadist beating down opposition, you have a handful of “normal people” feeding them, hiding them, misdirecting their enemy and saying “Islam is the religion of peace, but maybe you shouldn’t piss it off 😇”.
We need a similar focus, a message that attracts the masses of supporters while also keeping the front line engaged.

The Christian’s are all support and no teeth, and every European nationalist movement has been all teeth and no support.
No movement has adequately married the two.
