RISING RACE

"A time will come when no thought will exist outside the realm of discipline. When this age dawns, men of iron will rise as masters of the earth." — Nietzsche

Once again, we're asking those of you who support W2R and are happy with what we're doing to help spread the word. Word of mouth goes a long way for us, especially when reaching new people. We're also looking to partner with platforms, pages, podcasts, and channels to purchase ad space and explore collaborations. If you have a sizable platform or channel and would be interested in working with W2R, reach out to support@shopw2r.com.

"A healthy and vigorous little boy will look up sarcastically if he be asked: 'Wilt thou become virtuous?'-but he immediately becomes eager if he be asked: 'Wilt thou become stronger than thy comrades?'" — Nietzsche

I would like to make it clear that while we celebrate what he did as an incredible act of defiance, Richard Russell needed someone that day - and probably many other days before then. He didn’t choose to live, he chose to die that day. It’s incredibly saddening for me to think about the pain he must’ve been feeling to do what he did. He sounded very cool and calm on the mic, but that was the confidence of someone who had already given up - a thinly veiled nihilism. Do NOT give up, ever. We only need one king, I don’t want to shed more tears for fallen comrades. I think we all wish we could’ve just been his buddy and there for him instead of having to remember him for what he did.

Umm, Dear Mr. Mussolini, I saw that your “blackshirts” started using a stylized fasces design, and umm - I’m actually just really disappointed that you don’t give me credit for designing that when you make your speeches. And like, you sell those right? *taps nails on table* - where’s my cut tho?

We got guys out here that go out into hostile cities and paint massive murals and do real world activism, just for them to get painted over by BLM, NGO’s, and Leftists - and she’s out here bitching that she didn’t get her cut & due attention on a rash guard they designed, marketed, and sold … because it used some stupid art that she let float free on the internet commons for anyone to grab, without a watermark, that they inspired anyways. The hypocrisy of it is just astounding.

I guess I just want to say, Will 2 Rise did nothing wrong And to the French Foid Artist - if she *actually* cared about muh fellow nationalists, she wouldn’t be kvetch’ing about being oppressed and not getting her cut, and not having the spotlight shined on her, and threatening to harm the reputation … of the people who liked her image enough to put it on a rash guard - actually stfu you dumb hoe. All you had to say is “hey, I’m the original artist, very cool you incorporated the design into your clothes - would it be cool if you shared my website/page etc … maybe I could make something else for you, I’d love to start a partnership”. Instead we have to listen to a bitch, moaning and groaning about the men not being considerate and our “shared values” as Europeans in “solidarity”. They even acquiesced to the moaning, issued an apology, took the clothes down - and explained why they didn’t attribute it …. wasn’t enough, she needed to nag just once more. Please keep your based and redpilled wives off the internet, and just generally - let’s remember that the mannerbund is not the Boy Scouts, there’s no girls allowed.

^ the artist sperging after the apology

It's not the fact that you used one of my drawings that bothers me. On the contrary, I would actually have been honored. The problem is that you never asked for my permission to use it, nor did you credit the original artist (I heard it from someone else). And on top of that, you're making money off the work of another nationalist. By doing so, you're presenting someone else's work as your own, which is misleading to your community. It may have been an oversight on your part, but judging by your reaction, it's all the more disappointing. I genuinely appreciate your energy and what you're doing. That's precisely why I expected at least a little consideration for a fellow creator who shares your values. I thought you would show more goodwill and solidarity toward fellow Europeans who, as you often point out, already face repression on a daily basis. I hope this incident doesn't happen again because your reputation is at stake, too.

The image in question

It was recently brought to our attention that one of the designs we found on Telegram belongs to an artist in France, who is apparently very unhappy that we used it. The overwhelming majority of our designs are created by our own in-house artists. This was one of the rare exceptions where we used a design that had been circulating on Telegram. Because it appeared to be a piece that had become part of the broader 3.0/Active Club aesthetic, and because Will2Rise has played a role in developing and inspiring that scene, we didn't think using it would be an issue. Over the years, Will2Rise has had our own projects, designs, slogans, and ideas copied by numerous organizations without so much as a mention, and we've never made a issue. We simply accepted that once things are put out into the world, people will sometimes borrow from them which is not great but happens. That said, we recognize that not everyone shares that view. If the artist feels strongly about it, we respect that and won't be using the design going forward. In the future, we'll be keeping our designs strictly in-house to avoid situations like this altogether. We'd also suggest that artists watermark the design incase they get shared on telegram. Consider the matter closed. Our apologies and the design will be not used.

Also, I suppose I know myself well enough to know - that if I had my choice, I would choose to be born at the end of this world. Hermann Hesse once wrote something beautiful, that resonated with me so deeply. Every age, every culture, every custom and tradition has its own character, its own weakness and its own strength, its beauties and ugliness; accepts certain sufferings as matters of course, puts up patiently with certain evils. Human life is reduced to real suffering, real hell, only when two ages, two cultures and religions overlap. A man of the Classical Age who had to live in medieval times would suffocate miserably just as a savage does in the midst of our civilization. Now there are times when a whole generation is caught in this way between two ages, two modes of life, with the consequence that it loses all power to understand itself and has no standard, no security, no simple acquiescence. Naturally, everyone does not feel this equally strongly. A nature such as Nietzsche’s had to suffer our present ills more than a generation in advance. What he had to go through alone and misunderstood, thousands suffer today.
