Racism is officially in! Everyone online is now falling over themselves to prove how edgy they are by saying the n-word, quoting crime statistics, and ranting about how much the government is destroying the white middle class and traditional values. And while this definitely a victory for those who have been trying to catalyze an awakening to the harsh realities of Human Biodiversity and the Destruction of Western Civilization, just like an Only Fans girl publicly converting to Christianity, many of these new converts are nothing but scene chasers and takesellers. They have not changed their first principles, but are simply looking to adopt the ideas that are gaining popularity so they can continue to remain relevant and farm engagement.
This shift is already creating some serious problems around gatekeeping, prevalence of rage bait porn, and the ability for people to find a productive path forward. However, it also presents an opportunity to highlight what is happening and use it to identify good and bad actors as well as reestablish what the positive and necessary path for anons should be.
Defining Terms
Before we dive in, there are a few terms and ideas that need to be defined as I will be referencing them throughout this article and they are fundamental to understanding my broader points.
Naturalism and Journey to The Parallel Movement
When I first joined the online conversation, it was easy to understand the Dissident Right was largely unified by its opposition to the unnatural values of the mainstream delusion, but lacked clearly defined positive goals, an approach for achieving them, and a language to talk about them. To that end, I wrote two articles, one on Naturalism, my suggestion for an ideology that branded the core ideas of truth, natural law, and flourishing in a way that was clear and broadly palatable to the mainstream, and one on The Parallel Movement, the idea that our goal should be to build alternative systems that will preserve and lay the foundation for a healthy civilization after this one. I also laid out The Journey and the five steps all anons must take to break from the mainstream delusion and become part of the parallel movement.
When I think of what should be advocated for in this space, this is my standard, and while some might advocate for different approaches, most will agree that self improvement grounded in natural values with the aim of building parallel systems broadly defines the most healthy and effective path forward.
Human Biodiversity and The Destruction of Western Civilization (HBD and DoWC)
When I talk about human biodiversity and the destruction of western civilization, I am talking about the two fundamental lies of the mainstream delusion: that all races are equal and that western civilization must be destroyed to create the progressive utopia. If you are reading this, you in fact know that not only are these ideas false, but are indeed completely inverted from the truth. Races are inherently very different and Western Civilization is the most healthy and positive form of civilization ever. Breaking normies of these delusions often proves a monumental task, but once done, this opens the door to further truth and the possibility of actually addressing the most fundamental issues standing in the way of a positive human future.
Believers, Take Sellers, and Scene Chasers
Believers are simply people whose motivation is the positive human future. They might have different ways of getting there, but they are not driven by the material benefits of the space, but the spiritual battle that is playing out.
Take Sellers is a term coined by Basil (@Neobactrian) to describe figures in the space who optimize their content not on first principle values, but on what position they believe will gather the most followers. They are motivated by the material and therefore will act in their own best interest and not that of their followers. In this case, there are two types of take sellers, those who are external to the DR and are grifting in, and those who cultivated a follow in the DR and are selling out DR values to adopt a position more palatable to those coming in.
Scene Chasers are those who are not attracted to idea spaces for the ideas, but the popularity and notoriety that membership in these spaces convey. I am mostly going to use this term to describe the new converts to HBD and DoWC ideas who are still fundamentally harboring progressive values and are materially motivated.
How The Culture War Was Won
Marketing Truth Before it was Cool
When the ideas of Human Biodiversity and the Destruction of Western Civilization (HBD and DoWC) were first being discussed on the internet, the Believers who did so were risking serious repercussions. These ideas were so unpopular in the mainstream that one could expect to be fired and find future employment very difficult if their conversations were made known to their employers, let alone their friends, family, and communities.
On top of the risk, discussing these ideas on the internet provided little immediate benefit outside of the ability to find others who understood the lies of the mainstream delusion and not feel so alone in such a crazy world. There was always the elusive and ethereal hope that discussion could spark ideas and even actions that could slowly wake up others to the realities of HBD and DoWC, but these benefits were only of value to those who really believed in these ideas and so there was little need to gatekeep the space beyond the willingness to be associated with these ideas.
To convert more aware individuals, facts and logic were far from the best tools. If you want people to pay attention and adopt harsh truths, your content needs to be funny and cool. Memes, jokes, mogging were all necessary parts of getting the message out in a way that people would be receptive to. It was also not uncommon to harness rage bait content around these ideas as inflammatory content is very effective at going viral and farming engagement.
It is important to note that since awakening the mainstream to HBD and DoWC ideas seemed like such an insurmountable task, there was little thought given to what would come after. The meme war was the necessary focus, but many were blind as the tide started to shift in our favor.
The Inflection Point
We are now past the inflection point. HBD and DoWC ideas are now going viral in the mainstream spheres of social media and starting to solidify as a kind of “mainstream counter culture”. The momentum of the ideas of HBD and DoWC are unstoppable and this shift can be visualized in the movement of takesellers across the social media landscape as well as the hordes of scene chasers pouring in.
In January of 2024 I wrote a thread I titled “The Inflection Point” where I point to the increasing number of egirls in the space and how this heralded the popularity of Dissident Right ideas. This cycle of counter culture becoming popular and no longer attracting new members on merit of the ideas, but the popularity of the scene is not a new phenomenon. I warned that this shift would come with a whole new set of problems for anons and the space did not seem ready, let alone aware of how to deal with it.
Suffering from Success
Before I dive into the problems with this shift, I want to make very clear that the mainstreaming of HBD and DoWC ideas was a necessary and positive step on the path of success towards the great goals of Naturism and The Journey to The Parallel Movement. I am happy that this is happening and the reason I am talking about it is because we need to know how to navigate this shift so we can channel as much positive momentum towards the next set of goals around actually building.
I also believe that we still need anons and influencers talking about HDB and DoWC ideas as there will always be new people in the space and people who need reminding. I do not fault those who have chosen to keep HBD and DoWC talking points their main focus. What is important to me is that they point out the next steps that need to be taken once people understand these problems.
The Dangers of Being Popular
Gatekeeping Update Necessary
The most obvious new problem with the rise in popularity of HBD and DoWC ideas is that the methods of gatekeeping need to change and change quickly. It used to be that the risks outweigh the benefits of openly supporting HBD and DoWC talking points, but now if you get canceled you can use this to slingshot to stardom, landing coverage from the media, and even free legal help from billionaires to sue your ex employer.
The old gatekeeping standard of risking cancellation is no longer enough to ensure that you are keeping out people with ulterior motives. We will see many out takesellers who are chasing this new and growing audience shift their talking points accordingly, but this does not mean they can be trusted in either the short or long term. We will also see inside takesellers reveal themselves and make it clear they should not be trusted.
The Dangers of Scene Chaser Acceptance
I have had many people ask “why does it matter? If our ideas are becoming popular, why shouldn’t we welcome these new converts with open arms?” There are three major issues with letting in these scene chasers.
Scene Chasers Retain Progressive Ideas
As HBD and DoWC talking points become increasingly cool to associate with, scene chasers are going to continue to flood into the space, but since they are materially motivated and have not converted at the level of first principles they will retain much of their progressive ideology. If you want to know what to look out for, you will see many example of outside takesellers and clout chasers still massaging in the following talking points:
Transhumanism - Any type of departure from what is naturally human including the trans agenda or technological augmentation. Basically breaking from reality as defined by lindy values into a subjective framework
Rejection of Natural Law - The pushing of ideas such as gender equality, acceptance of homosexuality, and a rejection of healthy hierarchy
Materialism - Any ideological framework completely limited to the material aspect of reality and seeing the material experience as the ends. This might even go so far as to reject the existence of any spiritual element to reality.
Degeneracy - Promotion of degeneracy over virtue. This might come in the form of promiscuity, lack of morality, or abdication of responsibility.
Effectively, Scene Chasers want to abdicate responsibility to solve these problems through virtue and hard work. They just want to be part of the cool scene and enjoy the material benefits. They will gravitate towards the takeseller that enable them and so takesellers will gravitate towards positions that give them a justification for these selfish material desires.
Scene Chasers Are a Flight Risk
If a scene chaser is primarily motivated by what is cool, what is to stop them from abandoning HBD and DoWC values as soon as they are no longer what is cool? This is exactly like that meme that points out it is only high T alpha males and hierarchical sigma males who can pursue truth because everyone else must assess their beliefs, not by what is true, but what those around them think. We cannot see any scene chaser as dependable to the fundamental values as given enough pressure, they will happily shift to the next big thing.
Scene Chasers Are Consumers Not Workers
When we think about who we wish to include in our networks, building parallel systems, dependability is an essential trait. If you bring someone in to fulfill a function in your network, having them shirk or delay tasks is often much worse than if they never occupied that position to begin with. Scene Chasers are not here because they believe in what must be done, but because they want to be part of something cool. These people are fundamentally not motivated workers and mistaking them as such will be disastrous for any projects.
Takeseller Audience Capture
As I have been working on this article, one of the key questions that I kept coming back to is how HBD and DoWC becoming cool has resulted in legacy DR figures suddenly being suspiciously tolerable of progressives and their ideas and sometimes even going as far as to knowingly platforming them. Once you understand that these figures are not fundamentally believers in their original messages or the naturalist ideals, but takesellers who are trying to optimize for audience capture, it makes perfect sense.
Up until this point, the vast majority of the audience around HBD and DoWC talking points have been generally either libertarians or conservatives. With this new influx of racist progressives, for existing DR figures to capture the most audience, they need to either be silent on progressive ideas or tacitly support them. Seeing who shifts and who holds will be a clear indicator of who is here to sell their takes and who are true believers in their ideas.
Rage Bait Porn
The growth of HBD and DoWC talking points is not in and of itself bad, as these ideas are in fact necessary for individual awareness, but they are only a step on the path. Understanding the problem is necessary to solving it, but if you don’t continue that momentum and actually take steps towards the solution, you are simply getting stuck in a lower negative vibrational wavelength of rage and despair.
It is not uncommon for takesellers to lean into rage bait porn as this is what reliably generates engagement, and with more takesellers grifting in from progressive circles, more and more takesellers will be competing with each other for the most inflammatory takes. The HBD and DoWC content will quickly turn into a black hole of rage bait porn, sucking people in. These takesellers do not actually want people to move forward in their journey as this would mean losing followers.
This will be another opportunity to reveal who is simply farming engagement and who really believes in solving problems. Takesellers will never sell solutions, only farm rage bait porn engagement as they don’t want to lose followers, even if it is in those followers’ best interest. Accounts who want the best for their followers will encourage self actualization through personal improvement and seeking ways to contribute to the parallel movement.
What Comes Next
Enjoy The Show
While I have definitely attracted some haters and skeptics pointing these issues out, the beautiful thing is that the culture shift and the downstream effects of takesellers and clout chasers repositioning in the space is inevitable. Many internal takesellers believe they can adopt softer positions to appeal to progressive scene chasers without burning too many existing followers, netting out a bigger following. External takesellers know HBD and DoWC are getting popular and they need to adopt these ideas to stay relevant. If you don’t believe me now, just watch.
An Opportunity for Believers
If you are someone who is here because you believe in the fundamental values of naturalism and the journey to the parallel movement, the good news is that all this shifting will make it easier to identify who is also genuinely trying to build. Being virtuous and putting in work is not easy and it is certainly not what is popular. Real action is going to be the new gatekeeping metric.
The difficulty is going to be how do you showcase this without compromising opsec? Personally, I believe we are shifting into an era of group chats and real world networking. If you want to be saved, you have to be willing to put in the work to save yourself or at least be someone worth saving. And just saying “the right things” is not enough, you have to take action.

Great essay, thank you.
Main thing that came to mind while reading is that even true believers will be tempted to reduce the quality of their art. As we've seen with progressive thinkers, once almost anything that agrees with the Current Thing gets heaps of praise, artists have little incentive to push hard. An example would be the garbage Disney is putting out. The DR has had to produce material that's too good to ignore, which gained us victory. As the DR becomes the Current Thing, if it does, we'll face that same temptation to laziness.
Not sure if there's a solution.
