Recently the indefatigable and impressively slender released an intriguing article called How to Get Big on Substack.

This manual contains lots of helpful hints for growing your subscriber count, and if that’s your primary goal here I’ll offer it my full-throated endorsement.

Unfortunately BB’s guide isn’t especially useful if your ultimate goal is to monetize your Substack so you can quit your retarded bug job and establish yourself as a dedicated public intellectual like the good Dr. Hanania.

This makes sense in light of his metrics; currently the precocious lad boasts an impressive 2700 subscribers, but only grosses $10k per annum from Substack.

Meanwhile I have 1900 subs and currently gross over $22k:

And this disparity only grows starker when you consider I’ve been active on the site for a much shorter period—BB joined Substack in early 2022, while I joined this year.

So how did I become so much better than Jews at making money?

Keep reading and you’ll find out.

Step 1 — Find a patron

When you’re still a small fry on Substack it’s absolutely essential that you attach yourself to a successful big chungus eceleb account who’ll promote your stuff and provide useful feedback as to what works and what doesn’t.

If you don’t do this you’ll need to spend many months dutifully reply-guying your way to a few hundred subscribers simply to establish the necessary runway for your good shit to go viral. This is an enormous waste of time.

So who should you choose to cultivate as your patron? And how do you convince them to invest in you? That’s where you’ll need to exercise your own judgment and adjust your tactics to the situation, because it’s vital they’re a good fit for your publication.

For me the choice was obviously Hanania—both because we share a history with the Alt Right and because the entrepreneurial feller lets you pay for a meeting with him.

Thankfully I managed to impress Hanania enough for him to promote me aggressively in my first months on Substack, which in turn got me seen by and led to his viral X post that reestablished me as a public figure basically overnight. But my sessions with Hanania were also indispensable to learning the best ways to drive engagement, how to build a robust paywall, and how to remain *just* within the mainstream Overton Window of Substack dot com. These insights saved me a lot of iteration in my early months on the platform, allowing me to grow very explosively.

Anyway your mileage will obviously vary, but if you run in the same circles as me and want quality feedback on your stuff I can emphatically recommend booking RH.

Alternatively you can feel free to DM me and we’ll work something out.

Step 2 — Start your paywall immediately

Lots of Substackers assume they need to reach some arbitrary milestone—500 subs, 1000 subs, whatever—before they start their paywall.

This attitude is completely understandable and entirely wrongheaded.

You want to start your paywall ASAP, for several reasons:

1. It connotes status and makes your content seem valuable / exclusive / professional

2. It allows you to experiment with different monetization strategies and develop a solid intuition for what people will pay for

3. It establishes a comfy safe space to write about embarrassing shit where you’re generally free from the haters and losers

4. It lets you assemble a cadre of diehard fans who’ll feel special and more invested, and will generally promote your shit a lot more aggressively than Freefriends will thanks to the famous Ben Franklin Effect

5. It lets you start building an exclusive community chat for Paychads that reinforces (4) and serves as an increasingly valuable marketing vector

6. It will earn you an Orange Check much faster, which makes marketing easier in all sorts of ways (people are more likely to come on your podcast etc.)

Step 3 — Balance growth and monetization

Early on in my Substack career I observed the articles that earn me free subscribers and build my reputation as an interesting thinker are never the same articles that compel people to invest in a paid sub. And yet I wouldn’t have any prospective Paychads without that constant influx of new followers!

This means that to make money on Substack you can’t simply focus on monetization; you need to focus on growth and reputation as well. That requires you to consistently produce solid content that inspires people take you seriously as an intellectual.

Thankfully BB’s article already does a great job covering what that looks like, so I won’t dwell on this topic. I’ll simply note that in my opinion the optimal ratio you should aim for is two growth articles for every one monetization article.

So what are the best kinds of monetization articles?

Step 4 — Offer practical advice

Folks will praise you to high heavens for a brilliant treatise on metapolitics.

They open their wallets when you show them how to do something useful.

To that end seduction and making money are always the most obvious candidates, but anything you’re talented at will suffice if you have the literary chops.

The only catch is you need to offer some unique perspective on the topic, which is why adding in a compelling autobiographical narrative is always useful.

It’s also smart to position your ideas as dark esoteric knowledge normies can’t handle.

Which brings me to…

Step 5 — Sex sells!

Perhaps the most hilariously effective monetization tactic is to write something really compelling and then drop a paywall immediately before you get to the salacious or sexually provocative part—refer to this article for a demonstration of this tactic.

We can actually generalize this point into the following step:

Step 6 — Attach your paywall to cliffhangers

Good morning gents.

It’s been just over a month since I organized my right wing job stacking group (hitherto BisBuc; henceforth The Tortuga Society), and the time is ripe for a comprehensive update on our progress and future plans.

For the past few weeks I’ve been hard at work assembling resources, building our community, developing our infrastructure, defining our brand and long term strategy, and championing our cause to the wider world.

I’ve also been cultivating a trustworthy cadre of officers and subject matter experts to whom I can delegate responsibility, and thanks to the fantastic network I’ve built here on Substack this was achieved significantly faster than expected.

Make no mistake, our organization is still in its infancy. But the men I’ve chosen as lieutenants have already demonstrated their ability to produce results, and I’m thrilled to announce we’ve started putting real points on the board.

For instance, my officers and have each secured themselves a promising Job 2, providing crucial inspiration to dozens of other buccaneers currently in the midst of interviewing, upskilling, and polishing their resumes.

Theon also took it upon himself to make this process significantly easier for everyone by building us a central repository of stackable positions sourced from all major listing sites. This resource is now being updated every day by our intrepid Zoomer intern, which means our men are never short of jobs to pursue.

Sesped showed similar initiative. A traditional Catholic with plentiful experience mentoring young men and an exceptional talent for job hunting, he’s been giving useful and targeted advice on resume-building and interviewing to our new recruits, while simultaneously developing an extensive curriculum for securing a highly-compensated remote position as a data analyst.

Meanwhile, our ingenious Tech Lead has built us an automated job application tool that scrapes listings from LinkedIn, leverages AI to create a custom resume for each position, and then automatically submits applications for the user. Currently we’re in the process of beta testing this tool, which stands to be the most advanced of its kind and will offer our members an enormous advantage when job hunting. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for a technical demo showcasing the capabilities of this resource, which we’ve taken to calling Queen Anne’s Revenge.

At this point you may be wondering how we’ve managed to stay organized given the frantic pace at which we’re developing new assets. That’s largely the work of my Brahmin BFF , who comes to the Society with years of experience as a project manager for Google and community organizer for groups like EXIT. Unlike the vast majority of PMs I’ve worked with, Rajeev has deeply impressive hard technical skills that let him run a meeting and allocate resources with confidence, and it’s ultimately his excellence in this role that lets me focus my own energies on developing our strategic vision and representing our organization to the public.

Tying everything together is my longtime friend and mentor Noah Revoy—an international man of mystery with decades of business experience and a peerless understanding of human nature. Noah’s actually the one who convinced me to start this venture, and he’s since gone on to play a central advisory role in our organization. It’s largely thanks to his wisdom and professional insight that I’ve managed to navigate these uncharted waters with confidence from the very beginning.

All in all a superbly impressive group of men working on some fantastically cool things—if this doesn’t constitute Elite Human Capital, I’m not sure what does.

So what’s next for the Tortuga Society?

Our immediate short term goal—currently slated for 9/30/2024—is to advance this project into Beta stage. That means moving our member intake pipeline off Substack and onto a secure external website, where we’ll also house a feature-complete version of Queen Anne’s Revenge plus the extensive curriculum Sesped is developing.

We’ll then dedicate Q4 of 2024 to significantly expanding our educational resources in response to the active demands of Alpha and Beta users, and come New Year our curriculum will cover all aspects of the job application process in painstaking detail.

We’ll also offer unique insights into job stacking, including detailed practical checklists for operational / information security and up-to-date analysis of the lifestyle’s legal and tax situation from credentialed experts.

Once these resources are complete—and our member intake process is secure and scalable—we’ll pivot to expanding the Society both vertically and horizontally.

In 2025 we’ll organize in-person meetups to deepen our fraternal bonds and establish mechanisms through which senior members can shill each other into positions at our current firms. We’ll also fast-track junior members into white collar employment by offering our own bootcamps for data analyst / coding roles while leveraging internal LLCs to fabricate entry-level experience on member resumes.

Most significantly, we’ll start to transform our burgeoning professional network into an independent staffing and consulting arm. I won’t give the game away at this stage, but this is where I intend to leverage my own professional background to really make Corporate America squeal and help dozens of Our Guys stack serious cash.

And that’s when things get really fun, because my long-term objective is to transform the Tortuga Society into nothing less than a robust Network State. This is mostly a topic for another essay, but suffice it to say the first step in this direction will entail using the Society to organize a powerful fundraising network.

We sorely need to cultivate a “Shitlord Gentry Class” of sophisticated midlevel investors who can pool significant resources to provide capital for startups, patronize artists from our community, and fund thinktanks for heterodox scholars.

This approach to fundraising will prove infinitely more effective than asking Musk or Thiel for support (which is too dependent on the individual whims of one man), let alone begging everyone and their mom for $10 (which tends to look trashy and desperate to powerful people and gets you called a grifter).

In five years’ time I aim for the Society to have several hundred members, each of whom is job stacking or contracting through our network and pulling in at least $200k per year (and ideally several times that). It’s not at all unrealistic to imagine such a network could mobilize an eight figure sum in support of our collective goals.

But as it stands this is just a beautiful dream. Right now I’m laser focused on helping my men ransack Corporate America and secure their bag, and to that end I want more guys in the group to beta test QAR and offer feedback on resources.

My terms are the same as before: purchase a founding subscription to this publication and I’ll send you a link to our private Telegram group (following a brief intake call).

Prices will increase once we move into Beta (and especially feature-complete status), so if you’re interested in joining membership is currently the cheapest it will ever be.

I’d like to conclude this piece by giving my able lieutenants the chance to introduce themselves and discuss their goals for the project.

We’ll begin with my First Mate, :

It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.

In the mid-to-late 2010s I participated in an explosion of free expression and dissident thought online—a brief and beautiful spasm that ended with the demise of the “internet wild west” my generation had always taken for granted.

I’m of a strikingly similar age and demeanor as our dear captain, and like Walt I came of age during the wonderfully exciting days of the early Alt Right. In that era I made many friends, learned a great deal, and found myself artistically and intellectually challenged. It was the perfect socio-political ecology for a young, slightly autistic, former New Atheist such as myself.

You all know the story of the Alt Right’s rise and fall, so we’ll cut to the chase: I became politically lost after the movement’s demise. I swam in the shallow waters of what was left, but never found a true home. While I have respect for my traditionalist and religious friends who dominate today’s Dissident Right, this direction never really appealed to my own materialist, Greco-Roman, and futurist sensibilities.

And so my listless ambling persisted… until I came across Walt’s Substack earlier this year. At first I was a bit hesitant and skeptical of him. Was the young guy who made Disney parodies really someone who could revitalize the right? Could he really bring back the artful, convivial, challenging ethos of the prime AR?

I kept reading and soon concluded – yes! But this conclusion didn’t rest squarely on the shoulders of Walt’s genius (I’m not a sycophantic dick sucker, after all) but in large part due to the community he was able to build—the enthusiastic & intelligent young men and women I was meeting and conversing with daily in the Walt Right.

I then read Walt’s first job stacking article and had a eureka moment. I had heard of job stacking in early 2021, but had different priorities at the time and was skeptical of its long-term viability. But now thanks to Walt’s article, I was able to tie the practice with striking against a young White man’s worst enemy in Corporate America.

I knew what I had to do from that moment on. Not only could I strike out against those who hate me—I’d be able to spend that largesse on my family, friends, and girlfriend, support important intellectual and artistic work, and potentially make some spicy dreams a reality (more on that later). Because that’s the beauty of job stacking: rather than making the same lame barbs at our enemies, we now have an avenue to engage in asymmetric warfare—to take from them and give to our own.

It was a no-brainer. I reached out to Walt, and he helped me spruce up the resume, gave me some tips and tricks for navigating the precarious waters of corporate staffing, and advised me how to manage multiple jobs at once. He also commented that I was the prime demographic for this sort of thing: just out of entry-junior level professional experience, STEM degree, and ambitious.

I hit the ground running in my typical obsessive fashion. I spent countless hours at my local library (hey, it’s easier to focus there) applying for business and data analyst positions, practicing my Python and SQL skills, and fielding calls with recruiters.

And per Walt’s guidance, I prioritized roles that are highly stackable—minimal standup calls, no stupid “agile methodology,” and in slow-paced industries like insurance.

I’ll be honest, it was exhausting. But the one hour / three days per week commute to my hybrid role was perfect motivation. Our private Telegram group also provided essential counsel & reassurance from like-minded guys eager to get into the lifestyle.

Frankly, the job market for tech workers like myself isn’t great right now, plus the competition for fully remote roles is fierce, but I soldiered on and got five promising leads. After a month of interviews and technical assessments, I received a great offer in late July for a Data Analyst role with a big insurance titan for $115,000 / year.

I then leveraged this new offer with my current employer and was able to transition my current role to fully remote. I now make a bit over $225,000 (+$5,000 signing bonus) per year total and have no commute. I’m also in the midst of final interviews with two more of those five companies, so that number should increase quite a bit soon.

I’ve already been able to leverage this new largesse: I’ve booked a trip to France with my Boomer parents in October, all expenses paid; bought my wonderful girlfriend some beautiful hair extensions and Louboutin heels (and have started taking care of all her bills); and was able to spoil my adorable niece with a special birthday present.

Job stacking has also enabled me to financially support more creators here on Substack and elsewhere. In the long term I intend to support many more talented individuals who are iconoclastic towards the regime consensus so they can leverage their genius on books and research rather than on worthless normie jobs.

On a spicier note, I’ve also resolved to have a REALLY big family—my goal is to have upwards of six children one day. But since I’ve never vibed well with monogamous relationships, I plan to accomplish that goal by taking multiple wives.

Luckily my girlfriend supports this plan, being of the high-in-openness and bisexual sort, and likes the idea of having some lifelong friends. As I continue to job stack, I’ll eventually be able to financially support three women and their children and liberate them from ever needing to report to some boring job they hate.

And they won’t be old school housewives either—cleaning baby puke, constantly cooking and cleaning, or what have you. Instead I’ll have cheap labor take care of the cleaning and get a good governess or two to help with the children. I want my women to spend time doing what they love, whether that’s crocheting, baking, going on hikes through nature, or spending time with their husband, children, and each other.

But back to business. I’m proud to say I was recently appointed First Mate of Walt’s job stacking crew. In this role I’ve helped our new members get up to speed, have leveraged my recent experience in the job market to give our guys tons of advice, managed our token Zoomette intern in updating our extensive leads sheet & applying to roles on behalf of members, surveyed our crew to collect important demographic data, and helped develop a member intake pipeline for our upcoming website.

We’re building something legit with The Tortuga Society—no more impotent bitching online about our woke overlords. We’re going to strike back, make bank for our guys, support intellectual and artistic movements that speak to our hopes and dreams, and help restore power and prestige to disenfranchised young White men and their allies.

Next we’ll hear from our able Quartermaster, :

I'm Sesped aka Lawncare Disciple. I'm a Catholic family man, but more germane to this discussion I'm an experienced data science educator and mentor, and an exceptional job hunter. After Walt helped me identify the organizations to target and the attributes to look for in a stackable job, I found a perfect match and received an offer that doubled my income in just under a month.

I'm incredibly excited to be working on curriculum and mentorship for The Tortuga Society. The swashbuckling nature of the organization opens up opportunities to overcome many of the roadblocks that I've seen in multiple bootcamp and professional education programs aimed at helping people transition into data roles.

A bit about my background: I've taught hundreds of data science students, and I've directly taken tens of mentees from zero to hired. I've written and reviewed professional resumes and done mock interviews for data and software roles for 5 years. I've also recorded every job hunt I’ve ever had in meticulous detail. 

We’re at an early stage, but I already have a foundational curriculum—complete with all necessary educational resources—for data analyst roles, curated from the best resources from across the web, along with supplemental resources for specific topics. This process is always undergoing refinement.

More importantly, I'm working to bring my material on resume writing, insights into the hiring process, job hunting, and interviewing over to The Tortuga Society. This material has previously only been available for my private mentees.

I look forward to working with y’all.

Next up is our Tech Lead and Boatswain :

The Tortuga Society offers many resources to help with job stacking.

My current objective is to automate the job application process to make the dullest part of our lifestyle orders of magnitude more efficient and less labor-intensive.

In pursuit of this aim, I’ve built a Google Extension called Queen Anne’s Revenge (QAR).

The goal of this extension is to auto-apply to thousands of job listings across multiple job boards. Currently it’s the most advanced of its kind. QAR can create a custom resume for each job listing, tailored to the job description, and can automatically answer pre-screening questions with the highest accuracy possible.

And QAR is only the beginning of our endeavors.

Future projects will liaise with hiring managers, recruiters, and company employees to maximize your chances of getting placed. We’ll also offer AI assistants to help you prepare for interviews (and even assist you during them), and provide sophisticated management tools to help you juggle your responsibilities across multiple roles.

Job stacking is currently an artisanal or boutique practice; the Tortuga Society will bring an industrial scale to the lifestyle that elevates us far above the competition.

Last, but certainly not least, we’ll hear from the Tortuga Society’s project manager—my Second Mate and Brahmin BFF :

As a Late Millennial man born and raised in the desert southwest, I was cradled and carved by the extant religion of the 1990s: high modern liberalism.

These were our last days of genuine multicultural civic nationalism and the start of a mass digitization of "democracy" that would over the next two decades cause my beloved country to succumb to ever-intensifying fits of cultural schizophrenia.

That this republic-turned-empire so rapidly and assuredly descended into drastic and recurring episodes of domestic cyber-despotism, financial de-platforming, vicious corporate anti-meritocracy, and wide-scale bureaucratic malfeasance came as a shock. 

For I was a faithful disciple of this empire's ideology.

I do not regret my time at the University of Chicago, where I studied neuroscience and endocrinology with some of the world’s leading scholars, or at Google, where I worked on one of the most critical SRE teams in charge of distributed computing infrastructure. For these nigh-aristocratic institutions—these walled gardens of unrivaled genius—were where I first began my journey of ambition. Possibly, had I not been situated right inside the Beast's Bosom, I may never have awakened to the crookedness I bathed in.

There comes a time when a fellow must take a good look in the mirror, with no one else present but divinity, and choose to EXIT the confines of a narrative that offers only the illusion of professional prestige, and mostly a desecration of one's sacred interiority. Yet as I have patiently extracted the poisoned remnants of institutional indignity soaking my blood, once again there has emerged a calling to flex my world-class technical, project management, and community-building skills—this time, however, in service of a worthy enterprise.

The universe did a great kindness by placing me in the line of sight of such a man (with whom I share exceedingly many things in common) who now gives me this opportunity. Yes, now we may stand shoulder-to-shoulder and begin a mission of plunder against those same institutions who arrogantly demand we surrender all self-respect for the chance to earn crumbs.

As the Tortuga Society’s resident homosexual curry peddler (a moniker graciously gifted to me by an angry vampire), some might believe I have no place aboard a ship dedicated to making right wing white dudes great again. Don’t my own identitarian commitments place me in intractable conflict with the other buccaneers? Is this just another EEOC project flying under the banner of “elite right-wing human capital”?

Alas, while I retain a stubborn pride in my Dravidian heritage, it’s the American Barstool Right who have always been my closest confidantes and deepest allies. It is they for whom my heart beats, and my allegiance to them is what makes me a boastful and unrepentant American citizen above all other allegiances. Theirs are the arms in which I first found my inner strength, and theirs is the brotherhood that sustains me when the injuries and griefs of life wear me to the bone.

And does this not speak to the spirit of the White race – their magnanimity and virtue? That they roam the Earth and endear themselves to even the most implacable foreigners? That their men, with their wit and charm, invite the valorous of any creed or color into their crew to partake in the pleasures of treasure hunting?

Contrary to the petty moralisms of impotent priests: to seek power, fame, and wealth is to seek Glory. It is only by doing the two-step frolic with the Devil himself, that one comes to know the devil within himself, and may then vanquish him. And not by subjugation, but by ordering such base aggrandizement to be directed toward the highest Good to which man can aspire in his short and brutal existence on this planet.

For is this not what our friend Goethe promises, with Faust as his symbol, as the inheritance of the Western pioneer?

Fill your heart to overflowing,

and when you feel profoundest bliss,

then call it what you will:

Good fortune! Heart! Love! or God!

I have no name for it!

Feeling is all;

the name is sound and smoke,

beclouding Heaven’s glow.

For one man this means giving his wife reprieve from the feral marketplace of liberal modernity and securing for his children the guarantee of enduring prosperity.

For another man it means raising capital to start a business through which he might employ and mentor the boys desperately in need of his leadership.

For some other man it means obtaining the runway to produce the art he craves—freedom to actualize the craftsmanship his soul yearns to express.

For every man, it means confronting those who would put a boot on his neck and claim this is Right; to rise to the challenge, knowing that when he plays the enemy's game, it is they who will affirm their place in the mud after all is done.

For was it not Nietzsche who ultimately prized neither the Great Man of History (prone to fits of narcissistic self-immolation) nor the Last Man of History (prone to worshiping his own debasement), but gave his full weight instead to the might of the Männerbund? Recognizing as he did that the Forces of History are pushed forth by tiny bands of spiritual kin, working under conditions of concealment and subterfuge, loyal foremost to each other through fraternal-bound honor; and that this is the true significance and purpose of friendship?

Of what use, then, is the monumentalistic conception of the past, engagement with the classic and rare of earlier times, to the man of the present? He learns from it that the greatness that once existed was in any event once possible and may thus be possible again; he goes his way with more cheerful step, for the doubt which assailed him in weaker moments, whether he was not perhaps desiring the impossible, has now been banished. Supposing someone believed that it would require no more than a hundred men educated and actively working in a new spirit to do away with the bogus form of culture which has just now become the fashion [], how greatly it would strengthen him to realize that the culture of the Renaissance was raised on the shoulders of just such a band of a hundred men. – Untimely Meditations

The greatest events – they are not noisiest but our stillest hours. The world revolves, not around the inventors of new noises, but around the inventors of new values; it revolves inaudibly. – Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Recall it was this sort of friendship that compelled our Founding Fathers to declare their independence from tyranny—to deftly charge after what they were owed as Gentlemen and secure what they’d long been denied under silence and terror.

Dare I suggest they placed the thrill of this venture above its eventual outcome?

By asserting their right to "pursue happiness", our Founding Fathers recognized what makes one Great: the audacity to place the pursuit above the happiness; to lust for conquest above that which is conquered; to value the hunt more than the prize. 

So, too, the Tortuga Society. May we always act with the same Providential Spirit that delivered our forebears through the darkness and onto the light on the other side!

Join us as you’re called to do so, and take your place among men who’ve decided their destinies belong in their own hands.

– Rajeev

Thanks again to my heroic buccaneers for their many contributions to this project.

Words can’t describe how elated I am to watch Our Guys secure their bag, bring glory and power to our people, and utterly humiliate those who doubted us.

To the rest of you reading this: I have every confidence most of you share my urge to set fire to the Corporate Longhouse, and anticipate that a great number of you will join the Tortuga Society after reading this article. Many others will join once we debut Queen Anne’s Revenge and start to make a real buzz in circles outside Substack. Still others will hesitate for now only to join in the coming months as new testimonials pour in and word of mouth begins to spread.

I’ll be glad to have you in my crew whenever you’re ready. And once that day arrives I won’t just put a few dollars in your pocket—I’ll take you on the adventure of a lifetime.

Forever onward, boys!

This elicited a characteristically schoolmarmish response from our good friend Vaish:

In this article I’ll show that Vaish’s arguments here are embarrassing and wrong and ought to be forcefully rejected by any consistent advocate of vitalist meritocracy.

Objection 1 - Job Stacking is Illegal

We see from the outset Vaish is deeply confused about how the law actually works.

To begin with, job stacking is clearly not “illegal” in the criminal sense of the word; you would never go to prison for something like this.

It is strictly in the civil sense (i.e. breach of contract) where there might be some gray area depending on the precise wording of the agreement you signed before starting.

But even then the legal system is moving in a direction very friendly to the job stacker, and 99% of the time the very worst thing that could happen is they fire you.

That’s because a contractual provision is only as strong as your ability to enforce it, and if you take basic precautions it’s almost impossible for a firm to prove you’re double dipping. And even if they *could* prove it, they’re not about to eat litigation costs and reputational risk to sue you for damages when they could easily just fire your ass and move on. And that’s doubly true if we’re talking about some podunk IC role.

Of course that’s not to say there isn’t *any* risk to job stacking. Obviously to keep fresh opportunities coming you’ll need to manage your reputation effectively, and that requires canny networking strategies alongside a serious investment in opsec and infosec.

That’s why my inner circle is developing bespoke resources for Our Guys to help them build those skills; to achieve my ultimate vision for this thing I’ll need my men to operate a lot more adroitly than the ankle-biting soyjaks on r/overemployed.

Objection 2 - Outsourcing Work is Illegal (?)

This point is honestly really bizarre and I’m not sure why Vaish even included it.

The overwhelming majority of job stackers never outsource their work, as that approach is obviously much more illegal than vanilla job stacking and would significantly increase the risk of getting caught.

It also doesn’t add much value, since the job stacking meta for STEM guys typically involves securing easy IC roles far below one’s skill level at glacial megacorporations where it’s easy to get ignored. In those positions a talented midlevel employee can often get away with working only 3-5 hours per week, which isn’t enough work to profitably delegate given the need for onboarding, training, review, etc.

Now it might make sense if you can secure five positions or more simultaneously, and can also delegate work to someone unusually easy / cheap to onboard and train—think a live-in girlfriend or roommate or teenage kid. Hell, I’ve even proposed that right wing guys find and cultivate Zoomer “apprentices” to form a two-man shop that can eventually be upscaled into a proper consultancy that operates fully transparently.

But any such arrangement would obviously require a lot of trust and special care, and would only make sense for a small fraction of the job stacking community.

On the whole it’s not really relevant to our argument.

Objection 3 - Job Stacking Must Involve Amoral Greed!

Apparently Vaish doesn’t think much of the ideological superstructure to my project.

He feels I should own up to being an amoral mercenary who is “doing it for money.”

The problem is I am indeed doing it for the money—but specifically because I want guys like me to channel that money into hard material power structures that can disempower people like Vaish and contain the influence of his terrible ideas.

That’s why I’ve been so selective with who I let into BisBuc. The explicit purpose is to financially empower right wing white men (plus a few nonwhite / centrist allies like my Brahmin BFF ) by practicing covert ethnic nepotism a la Jews and Indians.

And not as part of some gay oppression narrative either; as I say in Pillage…

I want to inspire my readers (and particularly listless Zoomer guys who feel disempowered / repressed by institutions that openly despise heterosexual white men) to develop a greater sense of agency. That means no more wallowing in faggotty self-pity, and no more weighing yourself down with a low status victim mindset unbecoming of a proud White man. You’re going to stop acting like Rosa Parks and start acting like Hernán Cortés or Vasco da Gama or Francis Drake.

My guys are going to get fabulously rich by employing the same tactics as H-1Bs: taking over departments and filling them up with our own people; flagrantly lying on our CVs with fabricated experience and semi-bogus credentials; outsourcing work to family members and roommates… absolutely nothing is off the table.

At the end of the day I’m not a moralizer by temperament, and even when I was a white nationalist I never resented Jews and Indians for their obvious ingroup bias.

What I *did* resent was other White people not doing the same thing.

If I’ve learned anything in my three decades it’s that trust is by far the most valuable commodity in business, and shared membership in an ingroup is one of the quickest ways to establish such trust. As Whites become a minority in America (and right wing White men in particular are displaced and culturally aggrieved by DEI) it makes perfect sense for us to close ranks and project power through groups like BisBuc.

This isn’t a matter of “morality” so much as taking the necessary measures to ensure we keep our slice of the pie same as everyone else. And you don’t need to care about the Fourteen Words etc. to support this, because when other tribes practice ethnic nepotism a policy of individualism will always you screw you over, even as an individual.

That means some level of ingroup solidarity and outgroup exclusion will be necessary going forward. But unlike Spencer et al I don’t adopt an intransigent line on this, and any institution I control will always make room for allies who are explicitly pro-White.

For instance, there are tons of Jews like my bro who basically see themselves as White or White-aligned in the context of American racial politics. Unlike the Boomer Neocon Jews who fucked over Ron Paul in 2012, these Jews didn’t grow up with neurotic Holocaust Grandmas cultivating an unhealthy paranoia about White ingroup sentiment, so they never really shapeshift or tone police in bad faith. They’re just good at business and rhetoric, which is why excluding them is very dumb.

Similarly, there’s an increasingly large cohort of second generation Indians like Vivek and my good friend Rajeev whose parents came here when our immigration policy was much less retarded. Because of this they are aggressively American in their ideals and sensibilities—something lots of nationalists tragically fail to appreciate, probably because they don’t understand how the relatively syncretic and pluralistic nature of Hinduism makes it unusually amenable to American patriotism / assimilationism.

Guys like Rajeev have vastly more in common with me than they do with H-1Bs and it makes perfect sense for them to join my project. Obviously this will irritate some of my old white nationalist friends who remain committed to racial totalism, but if we’re being completely honest here, the sort of WNs who can’t even work transactionally with Jews and Indians to make money tend to be impotent broke boys or pretentious trust fund babies, and probably couldn’t handle the job stacking lifestyle to begin with.

In the long run my ideas will inevitably win out, simply because fellers like me are much better at accruing resources and building out the kind of scalable institutions people want to join for immense material benefit.

The thing that disgusted me about Vaish’s comment more than anything else was his servile bootlicking—I’ve never seen someone act so grotesquely obsequious to power.

Modern neoliberal capitalism is simply littered with structural asymmetries between workers and capital that make it impossible to negotiate transparently and in good faith. Consider that the company has an HR department that lies to you incessantly on behalf of the firm. Why on earth shouldn’t you lie back, simply to level the playing field and make things remotely equitable?

People like Vaish always forget that we have at-will employment in America. That means the firm owes nothing to you and you owe them absolutely nothing in return.

Recall that if you don’t financially insulate yourself via job stacking your firm has the power to fire you and starve your family whenever they want. Against that kind of asymmetry anything you do is justified if you manage to get away with it.

And when it comes specifically to breaking a non-compete (a repulsively anticapitalist mode of regulatory capture adored by wealthy rent seekers) it’s not just permissible, it’s fucking obligatory. Every agentic and capable man has a duty to the vitality of his civilization to wipe his ass with every non-compete he signs. The courts are backing us up on this and it’s time for young guys to step down hard on the Gen X capitalist’s neck.

None of this is even remotely dishonorable, and none of these entitled corporate faggots need Vaish or anyone else defending their honor. That’s because everything I’m advocating is already priced into the company’s Risk Management framework.

I know that because I literally did this in my days as a financebro Big Four consultant.

Every capably run company explicitly games around the expectation of thoroughgoing employee selfishness, which means every employee has a moral obligation to himself, his family, and his people to behave just as ruthlessly in return.

But of course Vaish sneers at this idea, because he worships power like a woman.

He thinks a massive hegemonic institution like an international megacorporation inherently has some kind of “legitimacy” the little guy should respect because at some point he was muscled into some retarded unenforceable contract.

Ultimately this ideology boils down to Might Makes Right—but only some of the time. Because might is actually wrong, you see, if the little guy ever manages to win.

It’s a low testosterone and unagentic mentality that chafes at the inherent volatility of power structures and will always try to stifle disruption. Vaish abhors the job stacker for the same reason Ottoman and Mughal despots once despised the enterprising Portuguese mariners who undercut their extractive trade monopolies.

The man’s spirit is positively drenched in this pathetic servile bootlicking mindset that always gets civilizations conquered and is the very antithesis of vitalist meritocracy.

This kind of thinking simply has no place in the modern world. It renders men hapless and defanged in an increasingly volatile and asymmetrical economy while leaving the most credulous and principled among us wide open for exploitation.

At the end of the day Vaish belongs to another civilization, so while I certainly don’t like to see him humiliate himself in this way, it’s ultimately none of my business.

But the terms change when the conversation happens within our people, and I will *never* tolerate this sort of attitude from a White man. Our people are not Hobbits, and whenever we start adopting Hobbitish attitudes it needs to be bullied out of us.

Far too many sheltered Cishajnal Whites in the interior of this country think like Vaish, which is why they’re getting displaced and outcompeted by foreigners.

They aren’t adaptable, they aren’t exploratory, and they sure as hell aren’t ruthless. And frankly that’s a sickening betrayal of our race’s history as conquerors and pirates.

What would Hadrian say if he heard you whining that you can’t compete with Jews?

What would Robert Clive or Alexander think if he heard you complaining that the Brahmin tech lead at your firm is replacing everyone with Indians?

To all my white nationalist critics who suspect me of being a mischling or secretly Indian or something: how about you stop whining like an impotent bitch and instead start to build some hard and robust material power structures in the real world?

For a bunch of guys who claim to love Nietzsche I never see any of you exercising your Will to Power in an interesting or impressive way.

Making money, pooling resources, and seizing hard institutional power is ultimately a lot more important than talking philosophy in an echo chamber, and until WNs internalize this fact they’ll always get dominated by the people who already have.

The path I’m offering is a way out of the desert. It worked for me and it’s working for my first wave of buccaneers, who will be publishing their testimonials in the coming weeks alongside a comprehensive report on both the resources currently available and our medium-term plans for the group. Once this is out I expect a lot of Our Guys to get incredibly excited about the long-term possibilities, because establishing a robust and secure professional network would be an absolute game changer for the Right.

Because don’t get me wrong—there’s absolutely nothing wrong with focusing on ideas, and I obviously love deep philosophical discussion as much as anyone. But when Alexander wanted to conquer India he didn’t spend all day in the agora bitching about Porus like today’s white nationalists will bitch about Brahmin tech leads.

He marched his men into the subcontinent and he made Porus his satrap.

Recently I’ve been brooding upon the attempted cancellation of my lovely podcast guest , and I’ve found the more I dwell on it the more conflicted I feel.

On one hand I’m quite relieved to observe that all attempts at marginalizing her have proven laughably ineffectual and if anything suggest that Cancel Culture is long dead. Polarization has created enormous space for heterodox thinkers to find an audience receptive to their ideas, and it’s increasingly difficult to imagine any future where the Left can simply “unperson” someone as they routinely did in 2018-2020.

But on the other hand it’s not like Nina just escaped unscathed from this. These proceedings clearly injured her financially and emotionally, and the community’s mobilization on her behalf did tragically little to prevent her ultimate victimization by a cartoonishly villainous culture of elite lawfare (closely aligned ofc with the tactics deployed against Spencer after Cville by that great sapphic ogre Roberta Kaplan).

And therein lies the eternal problem with carving out free speech zones through polarization: all it encourages is a retreat to greener pastures—a sort of “intellectual white flight.” But such an approach always fails because it relieves pressure on the enemy and enhances the other guy’s morale while doing nothing to cut the libtard off in his eventual pursuit. It also fails to account for basic asymmetries between right and left.

Now, many conservatives will *think* they account for such asymmetries simply by stating them—that is, complaining very loudly to all and sundry that the courts and media and schools have a liberal bias. But how exactly do they aim to rectify this?

Invariably it’s either Project 2025 or the Benedict Option. We can “infiltrate elite institutions” and somehow displace the libtard Deep State (despite the total number of competent right wing civil servants in this country being distressingly low), OR we can reject temporal politics wholesale and simply move to Kansas or some shit.

But obviously these can’t be our only options, because they’re both retarded and bad.

Men of the Right clearly owe it to gentler girls like Nina to protect them from these Stalinist maggots while more generally ensuring our ladies needn’t fight these types of battles anymore. But that will require an entirely different approach—one that very deliberately leverages domains in which our side enjoys the asymmetric advantage!

Over the past few years we’ve heard a lot of talk about “gerontocracy.”

And it’s a serious issue to be sure—so much so that we’re only ever allowed to discuss it in the narrow context of octogenarians with visible dementia, which in the grand scheme of things is an incredibly small part of what’s going on.

The real problem is that medical advances have ensured that far too many leadership positions remain clogged up by greybeards in their sixties and seventies—men who ostensibly retain all rational faculties but have grown soft, out of touch, and (most damningly) far too risk averse to lead a dynamic, vital, and agile civilization.

This is obviously why the government felt entitled to ruin everyone’s life for two years during Covid. All of society give undue weight to the interests of old people and it literally didn’t matter how many young folks lost their jobs or suffered from major depression or gained forty pounds, because it was deemed absolutely essential that we shut down civilization to give grandma a few extra years.

Yet even this pales in comparison to the impact oldsters have as part of the electorate. Because of their insanely high turnout it’s functionally impossible for a politician to propose *any* constructive changes to Medicare or Social Security without the Long Testicle Mafia freaking out and sinking his candidacy, and this in turn makes balancing the budget a pipe dream.

But you know what? I can’t blame Boomers for any of this.

They’re only doing what I’d expect from any interest group—deploying the resources at their disposal in pursuit of what benefits them collectively.

If anyone is to blame here it’s us young guys, who have seemingly failed to intuit a crucial principle about generational turnover and power transfer:

When you covet the old king’s crown you can’t simply wait for him to hand it to you. You must shove your cutlass down his throat and rip it off his head.

One mistake a lot of “trads” make is assuming there used to be some kind of amity between generations. It’s unquestionably true that higher parental age and a more dynamic cultural ecology have made intergenerational tension worse, but there’s also a biological element at play that’s existed since time immemorial and is here to stay.

To put it simply, young guys are always competing with older and more established men over resources, women, and social status / prestige, and this conflict has a political valence completely orthogonal to the left-right divide.

Most old guys have transitioned in life stage from Hunter to Lord, and having carved out a comfy little niche for themselves will typically profess their desire for a stable material ecology with “predictable rules and robust institutions.”

In practice that means lots of gatekeeping mechanisms to facilitate rent seeking and protect their dominion from ambitious young bucks wanting to knock them off their perch. Think regulatory capture, onerous credentialing regimes, non-competes—anything that enables pink-cheeked Chamber of Commerce types to pull up the ladder behind them and draw an enormous sinecure for very little effort while their twenty-something peons do all the bitch work.

Meanwhile, ambitious young men will always prefer a chaotic environment with flexible rules, relatively weak institutions, and lots of room for disruption. They will first lobby the power structure to tear down unreasonable gatekeeping mechanisms, and if their lobbying is ignored (or they’re denied a bag befitting their talents) will instead turn to piratical tactics outside established norms.

This is the natural and eternal dialectic between old and young: the hoary old king erects his castle and digs his moat to protect his dragon’s hoard, but the hungry young bandit is forever circling the periphery and looking for an opening so he can storm the gates, plunder the treasury, and fuck the princess.

And most of the time the bandit gets knocked down on his ass, which is of course the right and proper order of things; you can’t maintain a civilization if the king doesn’t win most of the time. But sometimes the bandit needs to win (or at least come close enough to scare the king into abdicating for a younger heir), otherwise you’ll invariably see decadence, gerontocracy, and an enormous decline in overall agency.

Because once the young bandit grows too timid to storm the gates just watch how fast the king grows complacent and lazy, the peasants stop paying their taxes, and the entire kingdom gradually regresses back into the Dark Ages until some neighboring barbarian horde just swoops in to devour everything.

Looking at modern America, the primary source of our gerontocratic woes is clear: Gen X men have proven tragically inept at seizing real power away from Boomers.

Please understand I’m not shitting on Gen X here. Xer guys are individually the most capable cohort by far, and most of the ones I know have built a stupendously impressive motte and bailey for themselves. Most of America’s greatest entrepreneurs and tech CEOs and cultural critics are Gen X, and I’m proud to call some of them my friends. I’ve also written at length about how the Xer leadership of movements like the Alt Right were fantastic “big brothers” to my cohort of Late Millennial men.

But how many of their gnarly dadrock hillforts could ever project meaningful power against King Boomer? And how many Xers even have the balls to try?

Last year Elon Musk and Ron DeSantis—probably the two most powerful right wing Gen X guys on the planet—made a serious play to seize the mantle from Trump, and their venture proved an embarrassing failure for everyone involved.

Why did they fail? All the reasons we’ve come to expect from men their age. They couldn’t play well with others. They’d grown narcissistic from past success in some narrow domain and failed to anticipate the ways in which such victories might not scale. Their hearts weren’t really in it. They weren’t willing to bet the house and sacrifice everything in pursuit of a big beautiful dream.

And so the Big Orange Boomer simply rubbed his greasy balls all over their latchkey kid faces, just as Sleepy Joe is currently doing to the Democrat Party’s shifty and prevaricating Xer leadership. Of course it remains to be seen whether this latter maneuver will work, but based on all prior experience I’d honestly bet on the Boomer.

Millennial and Zoomer men need to accept that Gen X won’t dismantle gerontocracy. They couldn’t do it if they wanted to, and at this point they honestly don’t want to.

They’ve lost their vital energy and youthful hunger, and the majority of them are simply too far removed from a young man’s experience to meaningfully understand the worst excesses of Corporate America. Most of the really capable ones have long been ensconced in a comfortable bubble, and in most situations will instinctively empathize with your manager or employer instead of you.

Again, you can’t blame them for this—they’re responding to the incentive structure. You can’t count on them to fight for you simply because they are your competitors now.

Elon and Ron DeSantis and all successful men of their cohort will instinctively desire a stable and predictable world that continues to afford them comfort, status, and power—not one that enables a young and talented guy to quickly rise to the top.

If you want a world like that you need to create it yourself.

And to that end it’s crucial to understand that Millennials and Zoomers can never hope to displace the gerontocracy by making a clean run at the castle. Boomer power structures are much too resilient and the Boomer Truth Regime far too robust. When you fight on the Boomer’s terms he always wins, and when you fight on your own terms he will simply unperson you, deplatform you, or freeze you out of polite society.

So to vanquish gerontocracy we’ll instead play the inside game.

We’ll tunnel under King’s Boomer’s walls, burrow into the old man’s wine cellar, and steal off with his crown and jewels and princess in the dead of night.

What specifically does that look like?

Basically we’re looking to identify asymmetries and pressure points in the Boomer power structure that can easily be exploited for exponential return while maneuvering inside Boomer institutions. Just think of all the little inefficiencies / irrationalities that should obviously be done away with by society at large but persist simply because Boomers insist “that’s how things are done” and still control the levers of power.

The example of this I’ve personally found most lucrative is job stacking, or the practice of working several bullshit remote jobs to collect multiple six figure salaries.

I recently organized a group of guys who are building out infrastructure to execute this strategy in concert, and any interested readers can learn more here.

Some people will object to strategies like job stacking on moral or civicminded grounds, and I’ve offered plenty of arguments rebutting those objections.

But any such disagreement is likely pointless and intractable, simply because it exists atop a very straightforward difference in material interests between labor and capital.

Would it make sense for the lord to argue with the peasant about his taxes? Would the highwayman ever argue with the lord about how much he should rob him?

Of course not; both men assert their Will to Power and seize whatever the fuck they can.

Just like the Boomer partners I reported to at a Big Four, who made millions on the consulting engagements I managed by exploiting cheap Indian labor and oh-so-subtly pressuring me to eat hundreds of billable hours for the good of the firm.

Just like the Gen X entrepreneurs who owned the small consultancy I worked for in Nebraska, which brutally underpaid its employees and Stalinistically reproached people for talking to each other about compensation.

Just like the Millennial Jewish dude I briefly partnered with last year, who called non-equity employees “furniture” and exploited me for weeks of sweat equity before flagrantly breaking a handshake agreement while laughing in my face about it (and thereby becoming easily the best business mentor I’ve ever had).

That’s what the modern business world is like—exploitative, deceptive, radically Pareto distributed, and full of insane asymmetries that contain all the real margin.

You can remain an unambitious Hobbit and never get exposed to the really nasty shit, or you can try to swim with the sharks. But if you opt for the latter you’d best not decide later you’re actually a dolphin. And when you’re seriously competing with someone more established then yourself you must never hesitate to rip his fucking guts out.

Obviously none of that means you can’t be the biggest sweetheart in the world after you get your check. At that point it’s great (and to my mind obligatory) to dispense largesse, but you need to constrain that to your ingroup—the people you care about.

And before you get paid you always owe it to yourself, your woman, and your family to embrace the ruthlessly mercenary business ethic of the modern world.

Sometimes that means adopting oblique tactics in the face of Boomer hypocrisy, and this will obviously rub some very honest and civicminded folks the wrong way. But never forget that as we siphon off King’s Boomer’s wealth and metastasize through his decaying power structures we’ll be the ones defining right and wrong.

Because at the end of the day—at least in America—success justifies itself.

In this piece Barb flagrantly mischaracterizes my position as follows:

Walt seems to be of the opinion that Money is Power, and young men should pursue money and women, we should appeal to those things, and tell them how to do so. That, by doing so, we will attract as many bodies, get lots of power, and be able to influence society and the world to our wildest dreams.

Dave and Alex, on the other hand, seem to think there are better, higher things in life. Family, home, a wife and children. The things that men have always looked to for comfort, for meaning, for living.

Where to even begin with this?

I have indeed advocated that young men pursue a lifestyle of “job stacking” (working multiple remote jobs to pull in several six figure salaries at once) to maximize their personal income at a young age, achieve financial freedom, and help them accomplish broader objectives in their own life and for the movement.

Absolutely nowhere have I advocated that men specifically try to “attract as many bodies” as possible, or use their income to pursue an especially licentious lifestyle that’s in any way opposed to acquiring “family, home, a wife and children.”

In fact, if you actually read my article linked above, as well as my original defense of job stacking, you’ll see I very explicitly position the practice as a means by which men can save their wife from office work and allow themselves to have considerably more children than they could otherwise afford.

It is patently dishonest to frame what I am pushing as in any way antithetical to a traditional lifestyle. On the contrary, job stacking very clearly goes hand in hand with pro-natalism / traditionalism, because traditional sex roles are a luxury of wealth.

Even overlooking the obvious factors of kids becoming increasingly expensive and society being geared around two income families these days, your wife can be a lot more dainty / feminine if you can afford domestic help, and she’ll be a lot softer and more beautiful for you if you can send her off to the salon or stylist every other week.

Most importantly, she’s going to be a lot less stressed (and can therefore offer you a lot more in the way of feminine comfort) if she doesn’t have to work, and if her choice to stay at home doesn’t create any financial precarity for your household.1

More money likewise enables you to offer your kids a much better lifestyle growing up: a safer and cleaner neighborhood with more living space; more memorable vacations to cooler and more exotic locales; higher quality schools with fewer diverse youths who’ll at worst constitute a serious physical threat and at best impede their learning by singing rap songs during math class… The list goes on and on!

Ceteris paribus, more money always makes life better. And literally all of the things that Barb advocates young men pursue in the rest of his article—all of which I agree are very lovely—can only be pursued more effectively, more enjoyably, and with greater insulation from the Powers That Be if you also happen to make $450k / year.

The question is always one of tradeoffs—what are you sacrificing to get that money?

That’s the realm in which job stacking is unique: it offers smart and agentic men in particular industries an unprecedented opportunity to have their cake and eat it too.

See, most guys traditionally haven’t optimized around making more money for a very sensible reason: climbing the corporate ladder typically yields sharply diminishing returns. It requires you to work absolutely insane hours that for the vast majority of guys will have a hugely deleterious impact on family life, hobbies, physical health, etc.

That isn’t what job stacking entails.

The goal of job stacking is to only work forty hours per week, and to get as much done during those forty hours as humanly possible. So instead of doing what most people do and stretching ten hours of work into forty hours by working at a positively glacial pace at one email job, you will work very briskly for three or four employers at once.

In doing so you’re not spending any more time away from your family, hobbies, or creative interests than any other fulltime worker, because you’d be on the clock in either case. You are simply more engaged, more conscientious, and more productive—not to mention a vastly more effective provider for your household.

Look, I used to work in middle management at a Big Four consultancy, and back then I’d routinely put in 80 to 90 hour weeks. I wanted to kill myself the entire time, and would never advocate that lifestyle for anyone. Fuck that noise. But if by job stacking I can earn twice as much as I did back then while working half the hours, and this enables me to give my family a vastly better lifestyle, then why the hell wouldn’t I?

More importantly, why the hell wouldn’t you?

I realize this sounds suspiciously like a get rich quick scheme to a lot of guys, and some fellas have called me a grifter. That’s obviously inevitable with something like this, and all I can do in response is eventually post testimonials to prove it’s legit. Luckily some of my guys are already interviewing for Job B, so this won’t take long.

Until then all I’ll say is that my real aspiration is to create a network of a few hundred guys who are relentlessly dedicated to collaboratively looting Corporate America and capturing its resources both for personal benefit and for the good of the movement.

I’d love to cultivate a “job stacking gentry class” of right wing guys each making $500k / year who can easily afford to throw a few grand here and there at various art projects and business ventures. This seems a vastly more effective mechanism for funding interesting ideas than relying on Thielbux or crowdfunding from the general public of ankle-biting broke boys.

If there’s any “grift” at play here it’s that I’m absolutely working on this project with the long-term goal of establishing such a patronage network. I want to get a bunch of guys who think like me as rich as humanly possible so in the near future they can give me heaps of money for the many many cool ideas I have!

Achieving this will obviously require lots of coordination and hard work, but we already have a great little group on Telegram of about thirty guys, and the discussion we’ve seen over the past week has been incredibly promising.

So if any of this sounds cool to you I highly suggest you join Bismarck’s Buccaneers and help your girlfriend quit her job today.

You deserve to have your cake and eat it too.

Several months ago I sat down with my good friend and longtime mentor Noah Revoy to discuss the practice of “job stacking," in which a remote worker maintains several full-time positions at once without any of his employers finding out, enabling him to simultaneously pocket multiple six figure salaries.

During this call Noah and I explored the various ways in which job stacking might be used by guys in the movement as a form of “Prosocial Piracy” to accomplish a wide range of civilizationally useful goals, including but not limited to:

• Allowing your wife to quit her office job and stay at home while maintaining all facets of your cozy and affluent upper middle class lifestyle

• Enabling you to sire a large number of children without any financial stress

• Sending your children to an excellent private school or elite university

• Financially supporting the mass gentrification of inner city neighborhoods, reclaiming our lost territory for fun and profit

• Creating independent banks, insurance companies, and payment platforms that enable our guys to completely detach from anti-white institutions

• Hiring the services of top-shelf private intelligence firms to doxx and expose antifa for criminal activity whenever they harass our guys

• Donating to pro-white / anti-woke politicians and PACs to move the Republican Party in a more nationalist and pro-civilization direction

Later in the call Noah also convinced me to write a comprehensive manual explaining the practical steps required for job stacking, but we ultimately agreed that to fully actualize our vision we’d need something much bigger and bolder.

And today I’m elated to announce we’ve built just that.

Enter The Tortuga Society.

The Tortuga Society is a professional fraternity of relentlessly agentic and chronically disagreeable young men who refuse to play by the stultifying and undignified rules of woke anti-white corporatism. We vigorously reject the notion of submitting to a decadent and corrupt system that openly hates us, and have instead decided to cheat, lie, and ruthlessly job stack our way to outsized money and power.

We are disgusted and appalled by the constant waste, inefficiency, and bureaucratic malaise we see around us literally every day at work. The fact that we’re even able to sustain the job stacking lifestyle in the first place is proof positive that these corporations are horribly run and in dire need of reform.

Half of our coworkers do practically nothing all day because the overwhelming majority of corporate email jobs have become UBIs for a decadent overproduced elite that wastes its money on Funko Pops and marijuana. The modern American corporation is a bloated and maggot-infested corpse that needs to be put out of its misery and replaced by a more virtuous mode of capitalism which isn’t so grotesquely dependent on regulatory capture and government largesse.

The American corporation must be raped and ravaged and brutalized until the capitalist class at last abandons its uncompetitive gerontocratic credentialing schemes and slave labor immigration programs. Such initiatives have been employed for decades by Corporate America to keep ambitious young men down, and meanwhile our clueless Boomer overlords dramatically underpay us while wasting millions on consultants from McKinsey or Deloitte, simply to tap into their lobbying clout within the Beltway.

Enough is enough. The men of Tortuga are done with your consultants and human resources and faggoty scrum masters. We’re done busting our asses for a 5% merit raise when doing *just* enough not to get fired would have earned us 3%. We’re certainly done with your wicked Stalinist RTO policies. And above all, we’re really fucking done with the “adults in the room” who are always talking down to us.

Unlike you perpetually nomadic and eternally unimpressed latchkey kids, the men of my generation are fanatically civicminded and fantastically organized, and under my leadership the Millennial rank and file of Tortuga are going to make the system bleed while we grow rich as kings. We’re going to milk Corporate America like a big fat retarded cow, and none of you MTV slackers will even realize what’s happening.

We’re going to serve as references for each other and repeatedly shill other members into the same companies, all the while constantly pocketing $5k referral bonuses.

We’ll build AI tools to collate professional leads within a central repository for our membership, while also sharing notes on which firms are the easiest to exploit.

Meanwhile, behind the scenes we’ll cannily direct each other to coding bootcamps, certifications, pill-pushers, endocrinologists, professional networking events, and extensive legal manuals detailing how best to take advantage of disability law.

The Tortuga Society is going to transform that famously curious, generous, and civicminded impulse of Millennials into an incredibly formidable weapon. We’ll give our guys every tool they need to ravage Corporate America and stake our claim. We might not end up as the “Hero Generation” that Strauss and Howe so famously predicted we’d be, but we’re sure as fuck going to take back control of our story.

In the Tortuga Society you won’t just get rich; you’ll encounter a space full of fantastically smart and agentic guys culturally defined by relentless and exuberant collaboration in pursuit of an enormously asymmetric return. It’s precisely the same spirit that sailed with Columbus or Vasco da Gama—an obscenely inspirational concoction of manic joy, daring-do, and ferocious competence.

It’s a chance to be part of something that makes you exceptional.

So welcome aboard, my friend. The crew looks forward to meeting you.

This article is several things.

First and foremost it is a jeremiad against the wretchedness of Corporate America. I aim to convince my reader that everything about this system is decadent, grotesque, and civilizationally stultifying, and that stealing from it isn’t just permissible, but morally obligatory. I want to fill you with the same hatred that allowed me to scam my employers with a spotless conscience and clear $450k / year at the age of 28.

It is secondarily an exhortation—I want to inspire my readers (and particularly listless Zoomer guys who feel disempowered / repressed by institutions that openly despise heterosexual white men) to develop a greater sense of agency. That means no more wallowing in faggotty self-pity, and no more weighing yourself down with a low status victim mindset unbecoming of a proud White man. You’re going to stop acting like Rosa Parks and start acting like Hernán Cortés or Vasco da Gama or Francis Drake.

Finally—and most significantly for my reader—this article is a manual for getting rich by juggling several remote “bullshit jobs” (a tactic often called “job stacking” or “overemployment”). I’ll tell you which industries are best for this, how to get started, how not to get caught, and how to spend more money than you know what to do with.

If you’re on Substack, it’s likely that you’re more moral than the average person, or at least more conscientious. You probably pay your taxes on time, check your mail regularly, and avoid raising your voice when arguing with your significant other.

Even if you aren’t more conscientious, you are almost certainly more thoughtful. You probably think a lot about the incentive structures that undergird our civilization, and want to create robust institutions to encourage the right behavior from people.

The problem is we’re no longer living in a world where this is possible on a macro level. Most of the mechanisms that in practice encourage kind / thoughtful behavior require a personal and embodied connection, and this has been made increasingly difficult by forces of scale like urbanization, globalization, and mass communication. We live in an increasingly efficient market, not a quaint tribal village where everyone knows your name. And nowhere is this more obvious than in the modern workplace.

When push comes to shove, your coworkers are not your friends. Your boss certainly isn’t your friend, especially if he holds any equity in the firm that pits your salary against his kid’s college fund (or more realistically, his stripper money). We have at-will employment in the U.S., which means he can fire your ass whenever he wants (especially if you’re a straight white male!), and in this day and age he will suffer no negative social consequences for doing so. That is a terrifying asymmetry, and an indication that our elite class has abandoned any feelings of noblesse oblige.

It’s also what gives you the right to ravage his bank account in preemptive self defense. The modern economy is ultimately ruled by a Stirnerian law of the jungle—if you can’t defend it, you don’t deserve it. The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must. And by that token, if you don’t get caught job stacking, what right has your boss to object? Why shouldn’t your boss be the weak one who suffers what he must? Anything you can pull off in the real world is self-justifying by the businessman’s own ruthlessly amoral Boomer logic.

But I should emphasize that this isn’t just about money for me. It’s about our dignity as human beings and our basic ability to enjoy life. If Marx was right about anything, it was about the incredible alienation inherent in modern labor.

For most of human history, we “worked” by hunting wild game and procuring meat for the tribe, and eventually the game changed to planting and harvesting various cereals. Next we created shoes and swords and shovels through time-consuming artisan techniques, and before long we were operating machinery that made those things for us. And now, after several decades of increasing material abstraction and the proliferation of consumer culture, modern man earns his bread creating slide decks that explain how best to optimize the clickthrough rate of dick pill ads.

Everyone knows how demoralizing this is, but nobody serious ever proposes a way out, which has left the majority of office workers trapped in a dissociated malaise. That’s why Europeans are constantly on vacation and have lost all cultural dynamism, while Americans need to slam Hitler levels of Adderall to get through the day.

The only thing that keeps us going is the fact that it’s all incredibly easy for the amount we get paid—if you put in at least some effort in your early twenties towards getting credentialed in a bug job, it’s generally trivial to coast off a six figure sinecure in middle age. For most people who get through the gate, the system is fairly comfy and tolerable overall, just really fucking boring.

I really despise this state of affairs, and maintain that it is enormously wasteful and civilizationally maladaptive, for three major reasons:

First, a large proportion of jobs are simply unnecessary, and function like UBIs for an overproduced elite. Plenty of people finish all their work by 10am; this is both what made office life hellishly boring in the Before Times and what makes a strategy like job stacking tenable in the age of remote work.

David Graeber wrote about this in Bullshit Jobs—a lot of positions are created only because duties are inefficiently siloed across multiple departments, or exist only for political reasons (i.e. a manager wants more headcount to enhance his prestige), or are the product of waste / fraud / abuse.

Frankly, this is a huge waste of human capital—we are squandering a tremendous amount of intellectual and creative talent on bullshit office jobs that most people perform at a positively glacial pace simply to stretch out the workday. If we’re going to give people UBIs, it should be for creating art and doing philosophy, not for making extraneous workbooks in Microsoft Excel.

The best way to destroy this wasteful system is to apply pressure on the weak points while ensuring as many resources as possible are captured by worthies like ourselves instead of midwit consoomer neckbeards who will spend their sinecure on marijuana and Funko Pops—those guys need to be crowded out of the economy ASAP.

The second reason I hate the modern economy is that it blocks talented and hungry young men from advancing quickly, while allowing lazy and untalented old people to hide behind onerous and time-consuming credentialing schemes that function like seniority mechanisms in a labor union. These old people coast on inflated salaries, doing very little work while massively profiting off the work done by young people.

It wasn’t clear to me just how exaggerated this is until I was promoted to manager at a Big Four and became responsible for maintaining the budget on some of our engagements. Our business model was as follows: We’d pay an offshore Indian consultant pennies on the dollar to do the work, then have some white girl associate straight out of college review it, correct the numerous errors, and collate takeaways in a slide deck, and then we’d have me present ten of these decks to various clients. My boss was a director who would give some minor feedback on the deck before I’d present it, and the director’s boss was a partner who would do jack shit. But in practice the partner made millions from these engagements because they had a profit sharing arrangement, while the rest of us were salary and collected table scraps.

This is a grotesquely inefficient system and not at all meritocratic, but pretty much every consultancy I’ve worked for has used the same basic model. And it only persists because of bullshit credentialing regimes that exist to facilitate rent-seeking.

In a truly free market there would be nothing stopping some kid from breaking off on his own and massively undercutting his past employers while still doubling his annual pay, but this is made very challenging by credentialing regimes and a decadent business culture wherein overpaid executives prefer to hire massively overpriced consultants instead of their more competitive but less established rivals.

If you are a talented and ambitious young guy you should despise this system. It is unfair to you and cockblocks your development to give lazy boomers an unwarranted sinecure. The only way to fight back against this unfair power structure is to cheat.

The third and final reason I hate the modern economy is that it promotes a left wing Corporate Memphis culture—”professional”, polite, undifferentiated, ostensibly egalitarian but informally ultra-hierarchical, and ferociously contemptuous of any desire to create a more formal / explicit hierarchy agreeable to the masculine mind.

These trends mostly emerged because there are too many women in the workplace. Integrating the sexes inevitably results in a formerly masculine culture being castrated to accommodate feminine vulnerability. Women just can’t handle conflict, psychological pressure, or aggressive banter at the same level as men, so if their participation in male society is deemed a necessary political goal, the cultural ecology will naturally give way to feminine communicative norms.

Understand this is not at all their fault—these women don’t even want to be there! But their husbands don’t make enough for them to quit or transition to part time work. And even when the husband does make enough, going one income will usually make you the poorest pair at any country club or dinner party full of power couples and DINKs, and most successful people don’t want that. Typically it’s the man pushing the woman to work for this reason, while the woman resents not getting to stay at home.

Mercifully, this issue has been completely solved by job stacking. If you juggle three bullshit jobs you can easily outearn DINK couples and let your wife have her cake and eat it too. That won’t change the culture overall, but it will absolutely enable you to create your own little aristocratic slice of heaven.

And that’s what this is really about—creating a bubble where you can shield your people from the unpleasantness of the world.

It’s your duty as a man to ensure your wife doesn’t need to work if she doesn’t want to; to ensure you can have as many children together as you want without pinching pennies or sweating over a budget in excel; and to ensure you needn’t choose between a life saving surgery for your dog and a much-needed family vacation.

Then once you’ve surpassed a certain level of abundance for your own family, you can start thinking about applying your resources to a broader civilizational mission. I spoke about this extensively in a recent podcast episode with Noah Revoy—if you got ten really smart guys together and had them pool resources acquired via job stacking, you could easily build a cell that could gentrify entire neighborhoods in just a few years. Make it a thousand guys and you could pay top shelf private intelligence firms to doxx antifa, or even bribe mainstream GOP pols into advancing our objectives.

If you are a dissident right NEET with a 125+ IQ there is no excuse for not doing this.

Job stacking is the 21st century equivalent to being a yeoman farmer and staking out a homestead in the far frontier—you have the opportunity to assert your Will to Power and seize a tremendously asymmetrical return for yourself. And if you’re reading this, you almost certainly have the IQ to job stack, so it isn’t a matter of capability.

You just need to want it.

In this next section I am going to provide a manual for how to job stack effectively.

This manual will not be free, because I have personally grown very tired of stacking boring Excel jobs, and am more interested in building a revenue stream on Substack.

Luckily for you, all you need to pay me to gain access to this intellectual treasure is $5.

Alright boys, let’s talk turkey.

We’ll start with some basic requirements and guidelines:

• Job stacking (and remote work in general) isn’t a great idea at the very beginning of your career. I’d recommend getting at least 2-4 years of experience working in an office before attempting it. The ideal is probably 6-12 years experience, because this enables you to easily obtain a high level individual contributor role. You will also be less micromanaged when you’re older and more experienced.

• Obviously this only works if your industry lets you work remotely. I know guys who’ve successfully stacked hybrid roles, but this is playing with fire and only works if you have a boss that basically ignores you. Meanwhile, you can generally deal with quarterly onsites etc. with sufficient forward planning.

• The biggest barrier to job stacking is almost never workload—it’s pretty easy to find slow-paced firms that give you nothing to do. The major obstacle is overlapping meetings, especially in firms that are into gay shit like “Scrum” or “Agile Methodologies.” A lot of guys have developed techniques for attending two meetings simultaneously and jumping between them, but I have never risked that. My approach is to simply find companies that pride themselves on having very few meetings or a flexible work schedule and then reschedule as necessary. I also am very assertive about blocking off my calendar for “focus time.”

• In my opinion it’s best to start with job stacking two roles for about three months (you typically want to “layer” onto a job you are already very comfortable with), before transitioning into juggling three positions semi-permanently. In my opinion four jobs are almost always too stressful and will burn you out or cause you to mix up people / concepts from one company with those of another, and that’s a huge no-no when job stacking!

• You generally can’t stack managerial roles because they require you to be “on call” to resolve problems and allocate resources as needed. There are of course exceptions, and you can certainly stack individual contributor jobs on top of an existing managerial role, but accepting two manager roles simultaneously is risky.

So what types of roles are best for job stacking?

• The vast majority of job stackers in current online communities are software engineers, and this is one of the highest paying roles that accommodates this lifestyle. The professional culture is also pleasantly amenable to job hopping and it doesn’t require a college degree—a high IQ feller with a GED can do a bootcamp and make six figures very quickly if he is sufficiently agentic.

  • You specifically want to look for roles in QA and data architecture, because these positions are much less likely to get cucked by AI in the coming years.

• Roles like “data analyst” and “business analyst” are very easy and usually don’t require any technical skills beyond Excel, SQL, R, and maybe Tableau / Power BI. Even if you don’t know these things, you should put them all on your resume and then learn everything the day before the interview. These positions typically involve a very slow pace of work, so they are great candidates for your second and third jobs (“Job B” and “Job C”), especially if you have more specialized training in something like finance or actuarial and just want something easy to coast on.

• Really any remote job that doesn’t have a ton of meetings. Sales would probably be hard for obvious reasons, and Marketing also seems like a bad candidate because it’s full of women and gay guys who love to schedule meetings.

What specific industries are the best for job stacking?

• Insurance, insurance, insurance! It attracts a lot of risk averse and unambitious people, and tends to move at a glacial and hyper-conservative pace, which is fantastic for getting lost in the crowd. It is also basically recession-proof.

• Healthcare on the data side—the culture is all about being very precise / cautious, and there are lots of regulatory barriers because of HIPAA that slow shit down in an incredibly useful way.

• Look for companies based out of midwestern states like Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, and Kansas. They are much slower paced than companies based in coastal regions.

• Avoid any kind of consulting gig! They work you to the bone, and you don’t want to get caught falsifying billable hours.

• AVOID PUBLIC SECTOR ROLES AT ALL COSTS! Job stacking on top of a government role is much more legally fraught.

Next we’ll address mindset:

• You can’t go into job stacking optimizing for the same things that you optimize for in a normal job, because this strategy relies on a very particular logic. In a typical knowledge sector job, an individual contributor with decent experience might get paid $120k while his manager is paid $150k. This might seem like a big difference, but in practice anyone who has worked both jobs knows that the manager’s extra responsibilities / stress are worth far more than the extra $30k. He only accepts them because he is “pricing in” the long-term possibility of a cushy job in senior management or some kind of profit sharing in an executive role.

• If no such advancement is on the table then no savvy IC would ever accept a role in middle management. Nor would he shoot for a 5% performance raise instead of a standard 3% raise—the juice isn’t worth the squeeze. The optimal strategy in such a position is to do the bare minimum and work *just* hard enough not to get fired or attract any negative attention. You want to blend in and seem like an unexceptional and unambitious lump—sort of like Milton from Office Space.

• The most common job stacking strategy is to embrace this unambitious lump attitude in most of your roles, but not all of them. You’ll want one “main” job—typically it’s called “Job A”—that takes precedence over the rest, and where you work two clicks harder than is strictly necessary to not get fired. In this job you want to perform at the level of a median employee. When working this job you will always respond very promptly to emails and never miss a meeting.

• Job A will typically be your most “senior” role, and also the one that draws most heavily (if at all) upon any specific credentials you may have (you want to avoid multiple firms checking your credentials in short succession). It will usually be the job with the highest salary and with the best benefits—in the other ones you’ll be opting out of health plans, life insurance, etc. (but not 401ks!).

• With your additional roles—Job B and especially Job C—you need to take a more cavalier attitude. Never show any initiative or proactively solve problems. Throw the ball back into the other guy’s court right away without making a real effort to address the issue. If there is ever a meeting conflict with Job A, say you have stomach issues or your apartment is running a fire drill and you need to reschedule. Most importantly, do not be afraid of getting fired.

• Always be interviewing for new positions to keep your skills sharp and confidence high. My heuristic is to always schedule at least one new interview every week so I always have an offer on hand in case I need to quickly replace a revenue stream on short notice.

Speaking of that, here are some crucial interview tips:

• Proactively filter out companies that have a lot of meetings. Figure out in each interview whether any recurring meetings would jive with your current schedule, and determine whether you’d be expected to be “on call” at all working hours. Make sure to emphasize the importance of “focus time” for getting into “flow” (you can also say you have ADHD once you’re hired and try to insist they give you dedicated focus time—with a lot of bosses this is extremely effective because they’re afraid of getting the company sued for some kind of discrimination lel).

• When applying for a job you’re overqualified for (which you should absolutely do for Jobs B and C), I find it best to sell myself as overworked and wanting to pursue more of a work-life balance / time with my family. You can say you have a parent with early onset Alzheimer’s or something if it’s a more conservative environment, and this has the added benefit of giving you flexibility around rescheduling meetings (can say your mom is having an episode etc.)

• Obviously exaggerate every positive thing in your resume and don’t be afraid to just make shit up. Anything that isn’t a verifiable degree / credential or pertaining to your tenure / position title at a past employer is fair game.

• Always ask for a signing bonus—HR ladies and hiring managers always have more leeway with this than with your salary. I never have gotten less than $10k.

Some advice on managing your newfound spoils:

• You want to get a dedicated accountant ASAP, because your tax situation is about to become a LOT more complicated, and if you fuck up the withholding you will owe a five figure sum to the IRS next year.

• A good heuristic for how to spend your money is “one for me, one for them, one for us”: Spend the first one on indulgences for yourself (Uber Eats, Addy, Walt Bismarck’s Substack); the second on attracting a wife → building a family → saving for your future; and the third on donating to causes you care about (like doxxing antifa or helping Walt Bismarck build a thinktank).

• Don’t tell friends and fam about your job stacking! Your wife can know, but your girlfriend probably shouldn’t. Just tell her you got a big promotion, or let her think you’re in the mafia or something. Don’t tell your kids even—say you’re a consultant and let them think of your different companies as your different “clients”. Remember, loose lips sink ships, and the last thing you want is some asshole jealous brother-in-law or spiteful exgf snitching on you.

• If you’re single, do yourself a favor and start dating on SeekingArrangement instead of Tinder or Hinge. About 20% of girls on there aren’t even interested in a “sugar daddy” per se and just want a rich boyfriend. If you are decent looking and under 40 you will easily be in the top 5% of guys there and can have your pick of beautiful Zoomettes. Once you try it you’ll never go back to normie-style dating.

That’s all the general advice you need to know.

I have some more specialized tactics to offer as well, but a lot of them are more circumstantial and I’d need to give you a personalized consultation.

DM me here on Substack if you’re interested.

But until then—happy plundering, gents!
