After carefully reading Michael Bell’s new article at TOQ Online, I fail to see why it has provoked so much controversy [at Occidental Dissent]. It appears that some here had a knee jerk reaction to the phrase “spitting game” and associated Michael with Roissy and his followers.
The thrust of the essay is that White Nationalists should exploit common sense (look her dead in the eye, be confident, be funny, don’t be a nice guy, etc.) to secure mates and racialize young females. The long term goal advocated is reproductive success (sex tied to reproduction), not sexual intercourse for its own sake. Michael could have stated this more clearly and used less provocative language to get his point across.
But nowhere in his article does Michael idolize dissolute males. He does not say that men should psychologically manipulate females to “score” as many one night stands as possible. His object seems to be to coax the more cerebral White Nationalists (he cites me as an example) out of their misogyny and into the “sexual marketplace.” I don’t agree with this characterization, as I am neither celibate or a misogynist, but that’s not the issue here.
I’ve elaborated my view of the Roissysphere before. There is a lot of truth in what they have to say, so I won’t criticize their science of the pick up artist, but I think the degeneration of sexual mores that followed in the wake of feminism is one of the strongest arguments against modern liberal society. It is something the White Nationalist movement should aim to reverse. At the same time, I have also said that retreating into monastic celibacy like Lawrence Auster is hopelessly impractical.
For the most part, I agree with Michael Bell. White Nationalists have to navigate the choppy waters of gender relations in a degenerate liberal age. In pursuit of the reproductive goal, I see nothing morally objectionable about making intelligent use of basic insights into female psychology. There probably isn’t a man in the world who doesn’t do this on some level. The only real point of difference between us is the stress he puts upon game.
White Nationalists are still a tiny minority of White Americans. There are still plenty of decent, respectable young women out there in a shrinking pool of potential mates. In fact, we’re outnumbered by them. If you are willing to look hard enough, you can find a mate of this sort. You also have a better chance of forming a lasting relationship with such a woman than using game to convert the common run of brainwashed female to racialism.
Unlike some people here, I am not going to condemn the emerging men’s issues movement, as it is clear there is some common ground between us. If you think about it, White men are being dispossessed in several ways: as a race, as a religion, and as men. The men’s issues movement is another angle on the dispossession story. It involves many of the same actors. “Game” is one emergent response to this. White Nationalism and Christian Nationalism are two others.
I don’t think anyone has looked at all three movements with the same critical perspective. We should mine this subject further.

So perfectly said.
Remember men, and remember well, what NR says–Health and Physical Fitness is super important–one of the most important things that every man needs to incorporate into his lifestyle.
See y’all at the gym.
In addition to acquiring ‘game,’ it’s important, too, for white nationalist men to make themselves attractive to white women. Leave your PC alone for a minute, turn off the television, stop eating junk food, throw away the drugs, and stop drinking!!
Instead…
Hit the gym…!!
Join a Crossfit training centre…
Start lifting weights…
Take up boxing or martial arts…
Climb mountains like a mountaineer…
Sign up for an indoor rowing class…
Form a “free combat” or kick-boxing club for nationalists…
Start cycling…
Not only will these activities make white men more physically attractive to the opposite sex, but they will instill confidence, self-discipline, and purpose in the lives of white nationalists.
I had the impression, from the article in question, that the author was promoting sexual promiscuity, hence this digression. Although I do not believe that this is what the writer wished to convey…
Cleary, the sexual libertinism in today’s Western world is characteristic of this decadent era. Those of us who know better shouldn’t contribute to this modern cultural norm in any shape or form. Why? Because the reduction of the sacred act ( aka “scoring”, “gaming” and such) to the plain of the physical with a few shots of dopamine to boot, debases and makes ignoble this beautiful act that words struggle to express.
Further, a future High Culture spawned from the remnants of the West would be best based on a more ennobling perception of copulation, courting and union with the opposite sex, than the debauchery that exists today. Hold up the templates of chivalry and continence as guideposts on this path — “Be ye lamps unto yourselves. Be your own reliance. Hold to the truth within yourselves as to the only lamp.” Set an example of your idea and highest hope, yes even if you have a hard time “scoring.”
Be it as it may, on attracting woman, men should be encouraged to focus first and foremost on self-cultivation. To continually progress to higher states of mental, physical and spiritual fitness – to be successful and cultivated in this life. Find YOUR odyssey! Forget chasing woman! Use this unique opportunity of being single to overcome yourself and create a more powerful and dependable you. The right kind of woman will be drawn to you by default. If the Goddesses of Fate choose otherwise, all is not totally lost. Know that you will join countless sexually continent childless giants of the past that had transmuted their sexual energies and substances for a higher calling — whose offspring on the spiritual-cultural-political plain affects us to this very day and tomorrow. Need I mention Newton, Beethoven, Thoreau, Nietzsche, Telsa, Plato, Spengler, Evola, Yockey, Spencer, Michelangelo, Leonard Di Vinci, Blake, etc?
Not to get too much off topic. To all those folks who want to breed, breed, breed – wake up! If we were a bunch of Zionist Jews in “Israel” where the whole system reinforces in-group solidarity and expansion (the settlements) at the expense of their natural rivals, you would have a good strategic argument. The fact is we have the extreme opposite environment here. Your children are quite likely to rebel and follow with their peer-group wonderland of cheap manufactured mass cultural muck. What we need more than anything now is brilliant pioneers that can create new cultural, lexical, and political pathways to rout out those forces that are destroying us and MAKE US STRONGER….
Manliness and White Nationalism go hand-in-hand.
A white nation is not the only measure of our racial victory. Raising our statues as men to be feared and respected by our racial advesaries and our women [Nietzsche's blond beast and Roissy's alpha-ness] is another healthy, instinctual habit we have to assert if a future nation for out posterity can ever come into being.
In fact, the blond beast and alpha-ness mindsets are essential ingredients in enabling our men to fully engulf themselves in the warrior spirit required to take back our nations and our women.
Great article. I’m glad that there is another White Nationalist out there who gets it.
‘Game’ is ultimately just a set of mindsets and behaviors designed to maximize your chances with the opposite sex in the Kali Yuga. Men who can’t lead women will not lead nations.
