... Let's be honest here though. If we can convince them to raise friction, we can use that to our advantage. It'll take the kikes longer to send their messages, while ours can still be short and simple in the form of the modern meme. It would hamstring them while providing us with unobstructed avenues of access. This would be in our favor.

But what if they selectively add friction? Ie: to free-speech alternative platforms and imageboards?

That'd be pretty difficult to do since a shitload of traffic is encrypted at this point. I mean, a significant portion of the 'right-wing' population now runs with a VPN for safety reasons. That's encrypted traffic for the most part out of major server hubs. Hell, we're creating out own friction by doing so.
... and I think ISPs acting that way could easily be legislated against. Hopefully it won't need to come to that, but I wouldn't be surprised.
