Yes @ExternalPepsi

@Jacob I agree that the demographics are important. I don’t recall Chris saying we should disregard them entirely, more so we need to think beyond them.

His second book

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN That's not what @DeusVolk's saying. He said it's gonna get real, as in, really bad things are going to happen. Unfortunately, though, no small amount of that is already baked into the cake.

I do at least, know many skills as a guide. I am broke as a joke because I picked my career when I was an anti-racist nihilist who didn't care about anything beyond the next trail, and I am unmarried because I believed the feminist lie that women don't care about a man's money... but at least I can live innawoods with the best of them.

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN More of our members should be that way tbh

Now just working on losing the belly

@Bjorn - MD
Agreed.

We're in this for the long haul.

As members of IE, we should be prepared as leaders of our communities and families if things get "bumpy"

Yeah effectively whatever "bad stuff" we can allude to here in the chat is baked into the cake. Vox Day (no laff plz) is pretty spot on when he says that there have been no movements of peoples that haven't been accompanied by conflict at some point or another.

The ~200K Visigoths sacked Rome 40 years after being admitted as refugees, but the Arabs occupied all of Spain except Astoria to the north for 700 years until they were expelled.

I think we need an IDEAL. Maybe like “HONORING OUR ANCESTORS ”.... our history. Our blood and soil.

So we on that 40-700 year timeline famalam

Blut und ehre

Patrick's current model is probably the best way to go tbh. Advocate against demographic change, but also build social capital that we can use when the time comes.

Lol @Smitty83

Balance in all things, gents.

@SuperTomPerry -RI 💪

Scientology is an interesting example of how powerful social capital can be. They're universally hated, yet still untouchable.

Lol

I like Slack !

😦

Boo rocky

Slack is kool too, I like both

Slack is professional

@Jacob is right. We need to become Scientologists

@Jacob yes scientologists are an eexample of a tiny minority that works well

There's, of course, some unsavory stuff about Scientology that shouldn't be emulated, but in some ways they're effective

These guys control entire local governments

Yeah the amazing thing is how they still exist comfortably even after the Snow White thing

Surely they have to have MAJOR financial backers

So will we 😉

it would be better if it was 100%

nothing

Ismailis (Shia muslims who follow the Aga Khan) are a pretty tight knit group too

Did someone say Jobs ?

If we do a good job building social capital we could actually make it *profitable* to be part of IE

hahah @V.Balboa - PA Was that your comment?

Imagine have employment networks, lawyers, etc

Nope lol
