Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History

I started this website when I was 28 and I am now 33. As more than 50% of the site’s readers are under 18, I’ve progressively moved into dad-mode.
The political agenda is what is important, of course, but in order for the political agenda to be possible, we need to have healthy men involved in it. So I have started to feel as though my primary responsibility is to help young men, who have been deprived of any form of proper masculine instruction, develop into healthy, powerful men.
I think I am going to write an “advice for teenagers” book.
There isn’t really anything good on this topic available, other than Jordan Peterson, and he’s obviously got his obvious failings.
But I’ve got something important today that I just wanted to throw out there: you can never have too many friends.
You have no idea where your life is going to take you. And there will be people you meet early in life who will be able to help you out later in life.
As such, you want to make as many friends as possible. To do that, you have to be a friend, and help people out when they ask you to. You also have to be the kind of man that other men want to be friends with.
If you spend a night hanging out with a competent individual, make a connection with them and exchange contacts, that person could end up helping you in the future, or you could end up helping them. If you help them, they are then even more eager to help you. Also, if they help you do something, they are more inclined to help you again.
That is one thing I will always remember from Benjamin Franklin’s Autobiography: a person who has helped you with something is more likely to feel positively towards you. He suggests that if you have someone you need to get along with who is at odds with you, you should request a small favor from them which they can’t reasonably refuse. He describes a rich/powerful man who was opposed to him for whatever reason in Philadelphia, and he asked him to borrow some books. The man was then much more friendly with them and they became friends.
When you’ve made contacts with people who are competent, and could be helpful to you, make sure to keep the contact. Call or write people every once and a while to catch-up and see how they are doing. Obviously, don’t be annoying. But be aware of what is going on with them, and if you see some way in which you could help them, offer to help them.
This goes far beyond politics. Absolutely, do not limit yourself to being friends with people who share your politics. Politics are not relevant to person-to-person relationships, unless you make them relevant to that. I have people that I know who hate my politics but still view me as a friend because I’ve made a personal connection with them. I know people who work in companies and governments across the planet that I can call up if I need to.
Think of this as forming a web to hold yourself up in life. Each time you help or are helped by another person, you strengthen that strand of the web.
As an adult, you want to have an entire list of contacts that you can call on for favors when you need them. You want to be known as the type of guy who repays debts and helps people. Not as a pushover, obviously. But you shouldn’t be connected to people who are the type to push people over, as they’re not ever going to help you when you need them.
Some people are bloodsuckers and time-wasters, and you need to learn how to identify these people and avoid them. This is a separate topic, which will have a separate chapter in my book. But basically, if you are successful, there will be a lot of lesser people trying to leech off of you, and leeches always drain energy. Your life is not a charity program and you shouldn’t be giving to people who have no ability to give anything back to you.
The inverse of making as many friends as possible is making as few enemies as possible. Enemies can become obsessed with taking revenge on you, if you brutally defeat them. So if you have the ability to brutally crush a person, you may wish to not do that in order to not make a lifelong enemy.
Conversely, completely crushing a person who goes against you can serve as a means to ensure that others do not go against you. It is a balance you have to strike.
As a rule of thumb, always have 20 good friends for every enemy.
And remember: the importance of looking healthy and dressing well cannot be overstated. Learning how to keep fit and understanding how to present yourself is among the very most important things you will learn in life, and it is a very good one to learn early as it will make every other aspect of your personal development easier. If I ever do write this book, health and fitness is going to be the first chapter and style is going to be the second. Third will be about why you shouldn’t do drugs. The topics above will not be until the middle of the book.
