We're making White guys rich

Update on the Tortuga Society's progress, plans, and leadership

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 Theon Ultima and Sesped 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 BlackBeardII 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 Rajeev Ram, 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, Theon Ultima :

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, Sesped :

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 BlackBeardII :

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 Rajeev Ram :

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!
