You must be busy as

Yeah, it's good...and bad.

Who is Taylor Michael Wilson?

^

never heard of this guy

Where did media say this guy's associated with us??

Country singer?

hes got the name

jesus

Every article I've seen says he's NSM.

this is what I said about selling merch to the public

Apparently he was photographed while ("briefly") holding an IE flag

Sounds like a lunatic, maybe we shouldn't be selling merch with the IE logo on it to the public

Emily Gorcenski is claiming he has ties to IE, has no evidence whatsoever, grasping at straws

This happened in January, he was just sentenced.

HuffPo article this week. With the usual pilpull and taqiyya

Everybody take a look at Shild En Vrienden’s store. It’s almost all stickers, gear that doesn’t have their logo on it

unless we're like dependent on the income from merch, it would seem to be a potentially good call to prevent the public from buying the merch

Even without this situation, somebody from antifa could buy IE merchandise, do something and then blame it on us.

But false flags and such are easily brushed aside due to the fact that we do sell some of this stuff. What if a member of IE mistakenly gave his flag to Wilson, and we weren’t selling the flag?

I am sure they and the feds already have some. But public sales should be ceased to mitigate future damage

I've already articulated this before, I figures people valued the income channel over the risk

There's always the possibility that it could be a false flag, but this isn't the first such case, and I doubt it'll be the last, and assuming that it is what they claim it is, the more the pressure builds, the greater the potential for the more troubled of our people (Whites, not IE members) to break down and lash out violently. This is why we have to continue to make clear that ours is the path 👌

@NateDahl76 Maybe, but from what I understand we are forbidden from associating with groups like the NSM, and for good reason.

My point applies retroactively

Anyone that looks at the Heimbach case and TWP's implosion and says "recruit for leadership!" clearly isn't without subversion (or lead poisoning)

@NateDahl76 I see your point, but there would be a much smaller chance of something happening, if we stopped selling merch to the public

Tbh they would try to link us anyways if he didn’t hold the flag

Probably true. Both positions are reasonable and valid. The current attacks against IE are very low energy, grasping at straws.

Yeah lol they tried to claim he was standing next to Eli Mosley when it was really just some random dude with a beard. 90% of these “connections” Gorcenski is making revolve around him literally just standing next to people at rallies lmao

Congrats @Deleted User <:deye:359010025223618570>

To worry about the public sales thing, we’d then also have to worry about our fliers and stickers. Anyone can peel those off and place elsewhere for nefarious purposes to defame us...as has already been done. It’s simply a calculable risk mitigated by our provable, true actions.

Oh good, we have mentally ill people writing hit pieces now...

@Asatru Artist - MD Interesting. I have a pal who went to RPI. He did not like the ghetto of greater Albany.

@Virgil Gen ID sells plenty of merch to people and in fact it's a pretty substantial source of income for them. Lots of organizations with controversial views sell merch with little issue, including Gen ID and stateside, groups such as the NRA. What do you think would happen if a card carrying, hat wearing NRA member was involved in a deadly confrontation, ultimately nothing. They have always been an organization where the only barrier to a hat or shirt is a working credit card.

Obviously we want to be more selective in membership, but we want our merch in as many people's hands as possible (assuming we get a payment processor)

Selling merch to the public is a very normal thing that normal organizations do to promote themselves and raise funds- while we will always have *some* member exclusive merch, I do not ever see us having a "no merch sold to the public" policy.

On the upside it is funny when tribal levantines fall for their own meme warfare (transsexualism)

But we are much more targeted with fewer resources than the NRA

The NRA is flush with cash and can afford lawfare
