@Wood-Ape - OK/MN it knows best because it's constitutes if well-adjusted people, a very special thing
Very few orgs seem to be this way
@Matthias I guess next time someone throws up red flags I'll bring it up to leadership faster. I spoke with that guy just last evening. Kind of crazy how quickly it all happened.
We had an eye out but I think Ian had it when he posted that interview. Rightly so.
wewlad that was interesting to read through
couldn't figure out why his name was white until I kept reading
then i figured out why
Yeah he posted something by right-wing wingnat Ben Shapiro
next think you know he'll be posting gerbils quotes by famed extremist jack posobeic
dude that guy is way too radical. The things he’s done both in and out of Minecraft... sheesh
doesn't hold a candle to that stephen crowder natsee tho
*shudders*
@Matthias you saw the one they did in Austria? Had a GI canopy / info booth set up also
does our merch include an IE jacket again yet?
>winter is coming dot meme
Patches to brand your own
@Wood-Ape - OK/MN I totally get what you said about spergs. A lot of them aren't malicious people, they just feel hopeless.
Talking to them can be kind of scary. There's a lot of memes about them that are funny from a distance, but hearing people say genuinely extreme stuff with a straight face is a bit of a creepy feeling.
I don't mean that in an SJW sense of "his opinion triggered me", I mean the kinds of tactics some people advocate for.
I’d love some sort of IE jacket for banner drops
tbh it would look pretty cool at a banner drop to have a bunch of dudes wearing an official IE jacket/hoodie
ooh patches would be great. Maybe velcro patches for ball caps?
We’d look more organized immediately. Not suggesting that we are not
Patches are available. Buy them up so we can get more merch
agreed, I'm trying to walk the line of avoiding the white polo/khaki uniform look lol
@Valaska thanks! will check out
@Jacob I think a "help WigNats productively channel energy and look better" project could be beneficial to IE indirectly. It could prevent tragic events. And eventually after a period of betterment and reflection a few of they could apply.
Martin casually strolls in lol
That’s sort of what <#497878998949429249> is meant to be @Wood-Ape - OK/MN
@Matthias I mean for the general "alt right" audience. Not members.
@Wood-Ape - OK/MN I had a similar idea a while ago.
"Hope Not Hate", but to turn them into identitarians rather than liberals
I see
Think of it as a community service
Haha
I have no idea what alt skull has been up to lately, sucks that he's apparently gone wignat. back when I was still on twitter he was a really good follow. the alt skull that i knew back then was great for IE, idk what happened. he'd be a good target for what wood ape is talking about
“hi EthnoGroyper1488, we’re with IE and we’re concerned about you. Why don’t you have a seat?”
There are effective arguments to make to them, about cargo-culting, and how all movements need to live in its current context.
we have to make the point to them that *our* approach gets us closer to *their* ideal world more effectively
@Alex Kolchak - NY exactly!
having a major news station (accidentally) give you favorable coverage in front of a million viewers is more “radical” than running around in a stallhelm
how do people not get this
