@AltRightMick Is a good guy 👏🏻

Well done @AltRightMick !

All future members of the month will be Irish, in case there was any confusion.

Coup NOW

I have a question. At some point in our movement, should we create businesses that are associated with the brand IE?

if those things do not already exist

Possibly. What did you have in mind?

Let's say brands of soft/hard drinks, clothing items that are sold to the general public, restaurants, etc..

The issue is that the overwhelming majority of business endeavors would only suffer from public association with IE.

general merchandise

Indeed.

@Reinhard Wolff At what point could we do that?

Yeah, we definitely want to expand the amount of merchandise we have to sell.

I could help set up various media outlets.

🤔

Media outlets aren't profitable though

@Reinhard Wolff I'm planning on creating a podcast.

Not around these parts at least

Virtually no one can get and keep a payment processor

@Asatru Artist - MD That would be very nice to have.

I think the best way to benefit the organization/cause financially is to become wealthy on your own and donate.

@Reinhard Wolff I'm learning how to code. How difficult would it be to make a payment processor?

I'm guessing it would be incredibly challenging

The issue there has more to do with banks and credit card companies, I believe.

and a catalog that lists /ourguys/

But someday, someone will find a solution.

Yeah. That's the problem. We would need our own cryptocurrency.

So it's certainly a worthwhile undertaking.

Ffs we effectively have to make a "dark web" just to exist as a marketable brand.

@Reinhard Wolff *The Identitarian* could sell ad placement.

for these brands

@Reinhard Wolff Do you know how many people work in IT who are apart of IE?

or who have some kind of background in programming?

@Reinhard Wolff If not, then that's something to look into. We need a large number of individuals who can provide technical support.

IT and creating a payment processor from scratch are *vastly* different. The capital needed to create such things would be yuge.

We can't use ads

We do have developers in IE, yes.

Almost all ads are ran through google iirc

@Rabbidsith one of the places you can network with developers is in the #tech channel on the Skills server

@Asatru Artist - MD Getting investors should be a priority then. Damn. It's effectively a game of building a name first.
