Ultimately, people will be happy under whatever system can provide a sense of legitimacy. Most people do not care about democracy- they don't even know what that's supposed to mean, they want something that, to them, feels legitimate.

"Why don't the Chinese revolt against the CCP" because your average Chinese guy is able to, for the most part, live out what he understands to be a comfortable life. Talk to average people at your job; common consensus will be practically verbatim: "as long as I can put food on the table and gas doesn't cost too much."
That's the motivator for people. This is, ultimately, why fringe politics (whatever those end up looking like, because that is necessarily a relative term) *always* attract fringe people. If most people (i.e, not on the fringes) feel comfortable enough with the status quo, something radical is just not necessary for them.

You got to fringe politics "early" because you are a person on the fringes. Your concerns are niche and generally not shared by the rest of the population. People have this delusion that when normies "wake up" (lmao) they'll start throwing romans and goose stepping- which is laughable, because the circumstances that "normalize" radical positions will be different than when you got into them. You have to understand that the average person *does not care* about some autistic breakdown of wooden doors and gas chambers. They *do not care* about reading esoteric tomes of radical (in the most contemporary meaning of the term) philosophers. You cannot make them, and you *shouldn't*. You should instead focus on offering something *legitimate*, because that is what they will care about.

People like to ignore that issue because it's an uncomfortable one that is a lot harder to solve than performative protesting or "raising awareness" on social media

"White Nationalism" in particular has always struggled with this problem. A common critique I've seen floated around, and I tend to agree with, is that it's never focused on building a "positive" case for something- which in essence, is true. You can look at pretty much every group that has sprung up for the better part of the last century, and they're generally more focused on just airing grievances, being contrarian against a system they feel has slighted them, or just getting caught up in the worship of a "stalhelm and hugo boss aesthetic", or some combination of the above. If you want to win, you stop sitting around pointing at jews and blacks and crying about how much they suck and how unfair it is- start building something you can point to that fills in where the current structures of power fall short- where they are not legitimate.

@doctorsex we have to start with families and friends first. If your average zoomer haven't been able to make a single friend in his life or even converting internet friends into IRL friends how do you expext them to become disciplined and dedicated party members?
Kids these days have no sense of honor or loyalty, you kinda have to fix and provide that before even thinking about political movements. Yes, things are just that bad.
