What if traditional conservatives and far-right wingers used the “John Galt” strategy from Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand to oppose liberalism?

Not that I’m a fan of Ayn Rand or anything but perhaps this is the most brilliant stragegy that the far-right blogopshere could use. Create our own communities, grow in resistance, more numbers and influence while seceding and exiting from liberal society. Go homeschooling. Refuse to buy or fund anything that is a huge supporter of liberalism. Reject films, books and music with liberal messages (of course a person can watch a secular work of art that possesses little messages that blasphemes Christianity and promotes liberalism). And so many other things.
Why not create our own parallel underground society? We’ve already committed thought-crime and hate-speech in the eyes of liberals. It’s no use to negotiate with them. We’re already deep down the rabbit hole.

It might work. There is a lot of fear, though, with people revealing their real names and locations. Liberalism persecutes heretics too.

I won’t go to see any of the products of modern Hollywood because the all-pervasive political correctness just annoys too much. I think you have to avoid most of modern popular culture just to retain your sanity. Things like homeschooling are a good idea because they mean you can opt out of liberal society while at the same time providing an alternative.
