20 Rules for Rightist Frens - A Guide to Online Discourse
These rules provide guidance for online interactions among dissident rightists. They are intended to allow for coalition building between groups (eg. Christians and Pagans). Please note that this is me editing opinions of others. I'm not sure how much I agree with all 20 rules, but they do seem worth considering.
- “A Fren believes in humanity and a higher power.”
- There is no such thing as value-neutral politics.
- Rightists value human survival and thriving.
- Rightists honor goodness, truth, and beauty (aka God).
- We may find common cause with some deists, agnostics and atheists. We have no common cause with nihilists. Nihilists cannot be trusted.
- “Frens reconize liberal moderity's threat to human thriving and desire a new direction to ensure humanity's survival.”
- Rightists oppose the current global order of government-managed technocracy.
- This system sacrifices long-term human thriving for short-term solvency and power, pushing out older life-giving traditions.
- The problems with this system go all the way back to its founding.
- There is no way back to the 1990s, 1950s, or any other decade you imagine was better.
- Radical change is required to break from the system.
- “Frens understand that boundaries foster independence and health.”
- Independence from the system is necessary for human survival.
- Rightists seek seperation from the system morally, geographically, and politically.
- We all value independent association for reasons of conscience as well as for survival.
- All dissident groups share a common enemy in the global managerial class.
- The managerial class seeks humanity's deconstruction and homogenization to lock in their power.
- “Frens make and keep promises, give and receive loyalty.”
- The left is antinomian and entropic.
- Rightists build real trust and real relationships by keeping our word.
- Politics as an entertainment product maximizes parasocial relationships, a left domain.
- “Frens make their moral commitments explicit.”
- Clear lines must be drawn to have meaningful boundaries.
- Rightists must be clear about their beliefs and allegiances to earn respect.
- 'Pure critique' is no excuse to maliciously deconstruct genuine beliefs without a positive vision.
- “Frens make an effort to understand other Frens’ core loyalties.”
- Ask questions, assume conflicts between allies are down to misunderstanding, and intellectualize disagreements where we can.
- Do not escalate!
- “Frens respect other Frens’ boundaries, even if that means excluding one’s self.”
- Discrimination and exclusion are core necessities for all non-egalitarians.
- Sometimes that means you butt out of some other group's internal interests.
- Rightists respect boundaries of religion and ethnicity.
- “Frens attempt to de-escalate drama and dissolve disagreements.”
- Rightists seek to build order and life, and therefore reject chaos.
- Politics and personal drama are two common forms of chaos rejected by rightists.
- Men solve their disagreements in person, not over the internet.
- Avoid escalation, seek to dissolve aimless disputes, and focus always on productivity and expansion.
- “Frens refrain from insulting core loyalties of other Frens.”
- Remember the notion of fighting words and respect verbal boundaries.
- We all have loyalties to dieties, religion, words describing God, families, men's integrity or women's virtue.
- The internet has made it too easy to violate these boundaries without consequence, as opposed to IRL violations which may meet instant reprisal.
- “Frens maintain care around secondary loyalties.”
- Being those which may not be direct core loyalties, but which still require some amount of respect.
- Casual racism can be fun when both parties are racists, but don't create friction unnecessarily.
- Don't risk transgression against fellow rightists by carelessly testing them, especially in public.
- “Frens never punch right.”
- No moral denouncements! We already get enough crap from ConInc.
- The left's divide and conquer is a slow ratchet which relies on conservatives providing outreach to their left and gatekeeping to their right, thus expanding the left's reach while guarding its flank.
- Moralize: All political differences are moral failings.
- Smear: Magic words magnify the panic.
- Collectivize: Guilt by association triggers mass denouncements.
- Arrest the process by not punching right.
- De-escalate: Remove emotion and explicit attack on the honor of the allied individuals and their communities.
- Intellectualize: Clearly state the disagreement in agreeable terms, and develop a common list of what each side needs as well as the lines they cannot cross.
- Separate: Develop a space for each moral system to operate and rules to prevent escelation, seeking arbitraion from higher authority when necessary.
- Rightists still need moral boundaries and intellectual discussion, but not the sensationalized versions one gets from 'mainstream' political fare.
- Political division can still be allowed, but purity spiraling must be suppressed to prevent subversion.
- “Frens avoid counter-signaling.”
- No jumping on Cathedral bandwagons or cancelling campaigns.
- Normie-cons accept the left's language, and become enforcers of the left's morality.
- The left uses magical words which have emotional and political consequences for those so labeled.
- Think of words like misogynist, racist, nazi, or anything-phobe.
- Avoid using the left's magical words, even in jest.
- Rightists cannot make any assumptions about the definition of the day for any leftist magical word.
- Example: It is necessary for rightists to speak of race, but never racism, because the latter only applies to Whites and a few non-Whites who oppose leftist power for their own reasons.
- “Frens make themselves strong enough to hold the line, or make room for those who can.”
- The left exploits fear in cancellation attacks.
- Stand up, speak up and take risks, and be responsible when doing so.
- Don't throw other rightists under the bus or pretend to be "the good one".
- Don't betray the trust of Frens!
- If you can't take the heat, step back and let someone else take your place!
- “Frens always stay building.”
- Rightists want an ordered society and just hierarchy, none of which exists today.
- Therefore, it is up to today's rightists to build an ordered society and just hierarchy.
- The building process takes long, sustained effort, but pays off handsomely in the long term.
- Many of us, myself included, will not live long enough to see what is built.
- It was always our responsibility as rightists to leave a better world to future generations.
- Until now we have failed liviing up to that responsibility, but let's help where we can.
- "A victory is anything that makes future victories easier or more likely." ― C.Yarvin
- You can't blame kikes for abanoning your obligations to future generations!
- If the words of a kike are enough to make you surrender, then maybe you're not one of us.
- Always ask whether a choice improves our standing today or makes future improvements easier.
- Stay focused on the task of building an ordered society under a just hierarchy.

- Rightists don't attack non-combatants.
- Rightists are agents of order, where order is both our end and our means.
- We need to win normies to our cause.

- This current war is one of belief!
- Rightists want to end the war, not spread it.
- Christians should remember the idea of just war (pic8.co).

- “Frens give and receive constructive criticism.”
- Rightists accept just criticism offered in good conscience with humility, even when painful.
- The relationships you develop with rightists of other groups matter.
- Sometimes you get to speak, most times you get to listen, other times you ought to obey.
- If you don't get this then maybe you're not a rightist.
- We honor just authority.
- “Frens forgive mistakes when asked.”
- The ability to extend/accept forgiveness is a sign of strength/goodness, where its absence is a sign of weakness/evil.
- Leftists never offer forgiveness, and progressives have progressed towards the same temperament.
- Malicious actors can only be held accountable via a genuine pursuit of righteousness (aka just authority).
- Rightists accept accountability for participating in the mess we live in.
- We're all part of the problem we've allowed to become manifest.
