Information Revolt:About

Summary

Information Revolt is a resource for National Socialists. It is a central location for storing and retrieving information.

Information Revolt is intended to be one part encyclopedia, one part toolbox, and one part handbook.

It is an open resource available to all; however, it is managed and revised by a select group of editors.

As the National Socialist Encyclopedia

Information revolt may be used to communicate broad points or to document vast amounts of data. The site is designed to facilitate both and to link the two as seamlessly as possible without either function losing its integrity. The more links you click into a thread, the more detailed and specific the information becomes. If the site is a tree, the major points are made on the higher branches, and detail is added on the lower branches.

As an encyclopedia, the site is supposed to aid high-level researchers. It is partially designed to be a Wikipedia but for National Socialists. Information Revolt can just be a starting point for research or be much more. Unlike Wikipedia, Information Revolt is designed to be integrated into research projects, allowing researchers to conduct their work directly on the site, collect and analyze information in their own section, or even collaborate with other academics.

As a Toolbox

The initial intention for this site was to provide a quick and easy resource for people to use in their daily lives. It can help us remember crucial information that can be used to persuade others effectively. In short, it is primarily a toolbox for National Socialist activists. Hopefully, the tools will help reduce the awkward moments when we recall hearing a piece of information years ago but can't remember the source or actual statistics. As dissidents, we are frequently challenged to provide proof for our views, and we must be able to do so at a moment's notice. Inspired by the Holocaust Encyclopedia, Information Revolt is designed to be a portable and practical resource that we can carry in our pockets and use anytime, anywhere.

Part of what being a toolbox means for a site like this is functioning as a hub to other resources. Editors on this site strive to avoid duplicating information that can be easily accessed elsewhere. They avoid writing essays that have already been written. To make progress as a movement, we must stop retreading the same ground over and over again and start building upon the work of our predecessors and contemporaries. Information Revolt aims to show us where the shoulders of the giants are so that we can stand upon them.

As a "Handbook" for Beginners

When people become National Socialists, they are left stranded. They often stumble across the ideology by accident and don't know how to proceed. They were educated as American neo-liberals and have few cultural reference points. New National Socialists need to know what to read to further their education. What authors can they trust? Which podcasts are done in good faith? What media can they engage with to embrace their heritage? Most of us go through these processes mostly alone, like newly hatched turtles making a mad dash for the ocean, and many of us don't make it. It's a waste of time for each of us to reinvent the wheel and rediscover all the information and resources through trial and error. Information Revolt can serve as a kind of handbook or brochure for newly convinced National Socialists and those who still wish to learn more before making a decision. "So you want to be a National Socialist? Here's what you need to know."

Policies

Since site revision isn't open to the public, it is unnecessary to go into much depth about site policy. However, it's useful for readers to know the basic standards, so they know what to expect. Transparency increases confidence in the information. The editorial standards of this site follow these basic guidelines:

1. Academic Excellence.
   1. This site chooses its editors. It seeks out the best people and provides them with a platform to utilize, if they wish. This is unlike most sites, where quantity is prioritized over quality, and where any editor can appear and express their views without restraint. The editors are selected for their intelligence, knowledge, academic credentials, organizational skills, heroic spirit, integrity, and creativity.
   2. The expectation is that every claim will be cited with a reliable source, that writing will be according to the conventions of proper grammar, and that the arguments will follow clear lines of evidence, with the premises entailing the conclusions. The editors wouldn't have it any other way.
2. Professional Etiquette.
   1. Information Revolt isn't a site for parody, profanity, jokes, crude statements, slurs, epithets, polemics, or hysterics.
   2. Anything that wouldn't be fit for an academic journal or collegiate essay is unfit for this site. This is simply to maintain a professional space where high-level research and analysis occur. Information Revolt is intended to be a clean space, akin to a public park or the bridge of a starship, where everyone can gather and utilize the facilities. Few of the site's editors are prudes or puritans, and many create bawdy and inflammatory content elsewhere.
   3. Information Revolt is not a site for memes. Editors refrain from using unserious meme-like images and especially from using symbols like the swastika that will get users in European countries into legal trouble. This guideline aims to keep this site accessible to as many comrades as possible and to protect them to the greatest extent possible. This site originally featured a swastika in its logo and would still do so if not for legal considerations. Therefore, the reader can rest assured that the admin is not "squeamish" or lacking in National Socialist conviction.
   4. Information Revolt acknowledges free speech arguments and the importance of oppressed peoples learning to use taboo words that they have been forbidden to use by their oppressors. Therefore, an editor would not be banned for using an off-limits word, but for breaking site etiquette. Additionally, there is the legal aspect to consider. Some users in their countries may face jail time for participating in a site that allows certain words to be used.
   5. The procedure if site etiquette is broken:
      1. The number of warnings an editor receives for breaking site etiquette depends on their value as a contributor.
      2. The editor may simply receive a friendly reminder, depending on the severity of the violation.
      3. The editor will receive at least one warning unless the violation is particularly egregious. It is unlikely they will receive more than two warnings.
      4. The admin finds it unlikely that site violations will occur, given the high quality of the editors.
   6. The editorial standards are slightly loosened for reference works, which are more akin to individual projects than public ones, but the same general standards apply.
3. No Promoting Pet Theories or Personal Opinions
   1. Information Revolt is for sharing information, not for promoting one's personal worldview. This is also true, to some extent, for the National Socialist ideology. An editor is not permitted to simply write about why they like National Socialism or think it is good; rather, they are expected to document and prove that it is so.
   2. Of necessity, it is impossible to present information or do research without expressing one's opinion, and an editor is not expected to do so. The editor is asked to stay within the broad bounds of this site's subject matter and to keep speculation to a minimum, instead letting the facts speak for themselves.
   3. If an editor has a niche or unrelated theory about a subject that falls outside this site's broad subject matter, then this is wonderful, and they are wished the best. Hopefully, they have marvelous success in their own space, developing and promoting their theory, which is surely fascinating.
   4. Reference works are a partial exception. It may be appropriate to include essays with the reference works, which develop the ideas further or connect them to National Socialism. Such essays may include a certain amount of speculation and deviation from subject matter, within reason.
4. No Conspiracy Theories.
   1. This isn't a place to promote discrediting kookery like the Flat Earth or Lizard People conspiracy theories. What counts as legitimate research topics and what constitutes conspiracy theories is generally based on common sense, following the WarStrike example and adopting Striker and Warren's own standards. A reader may believe that the lost kingdom of Tartaria is central to white interests and should be included, but this is probably why the reader is a reader and not an editor. Such a reader is cordially invited to use the information on this site as they find useful and create their own site about shapeshifting canines and nefarious car air fresheners.
   2. Information Revolt is officially agnostic on the vaccine question, not condemning it as a conspiracy theory or endorsing it as subject matter. This is the last word on the subject.
   3. "That's not fair because who gets to decide what is true and what isn't" type libertarian arguments have no place here. The site administration makes the decisions in close coordination with the editors. This is a centrally planned National Socialist site, not a mob-rule libertarian one.
5. No Promoting Ideologies Contrary to National Socialism
   1. The editors of this site are not required to be National Socialists, but they are not permitted to promote worldviews contrary to National Socialism on this site.
   2. If there is disagreement about what National Socialism entails, then three solutions may be applied depending on the circumstances.
      1. Both perspectives are given equal platform.
      2. Neither perspective is allowed, with Information Revolt being blankly agnostic on the question.
      3. The admin will referee, giving a platform to the correct viewpoint. The admin will be reluctant to take sides and will do so only if absolutely necessary.
         1. For example, suppose one editor thinks that National Socialism means abusing children of another race, or something equally monstrous or absurd. In that case, their wrong opinion will be removed, and the editor will be banned.
