Yep, I’m panhandling again. Bandwidth isn’t free, and my original donation estimates were predicated on me having to pay the bare minimum (or close to it) for my private servers most of the year.
Still, I feel more justified asking for money now because I’ve realized that In Mala Fide gives far more value for your dollar, loonie, pound or Euro than any other website in the alt-right blogosphere. Richard Spencer has struggled to raise $25,000 for Alternative Right for the past few months. Counterpunch shakes its web readers down to the tune of $70,000 a year. Justin Raimondo has to throw up increasingly creative splash screens guilting his readers into chipping in the $150,000 he needs to keep AntiWar.com online every quarter. Peter Brimelow actually yanks VDARE offline every time he needs a dime, none of which can apparently be spared to update the site’s late 90′s baby puke design.
Not to disparage any of those websites – they all do a fine job (or I think they do, since AltRight is the only one I read regularly). But there’s no other blog out there that can offer what In Mala Fide offers. On what other site can you find exposes on the world Satanist pedophile conspiracy, takedowns of anti-tobacco propaganda, analysis of America’s burgeoning sex ratio problem, the unvarnished truth about 4chan and Anonymous, and information on the most awesome ways to get your corpse buried? And on top of that, a convenient weekly listing of like-minded blog posts and articles that DON’T happen to suck? I didn’t even mention the satellite blogs running off of this site’s WordPress installation, with more slated to come online in the coming weeks.
Like a tentacle monster ensnaring a Japanese schoolgirl, In Mala Fide has become integral to this part of the blogosphere. And this tentacle monster of blogs can be kept going for the low, low price of $750 – $1,000. $750 is the bare minimum I need, but if I can get $1,000 by April 10, I will remove the last Project Wonderful ad from the blog – the one in the upper left sidebar. This means less unsighly clutter and faster page loading for you.
At a price that low, how can you say no? You can’t. So ensure the future of In Mala Fide by donating today:

Alt-Righters need to band together, get over their differences, and launch a blog that gets 10,000 people a day so the ads can pay for this stuff.
I liked the tobacco article rather a lot, and pretty much everything you and JDurden write, even when I disagree, but a lot of the new content is crap, or better presented (if at all) by “links to interesting stuff.” For example, while I like Alte and Sophia’s stuff, they already have blogs. And I already know AD prefers human blow up dolls to seducing women by reading your helpful links to the more interesting chit on his blog. I’m not sure what to do with information like that; personally, the thrill of the chase and the self improvement required to sleep with a desirable woman is about 90% of the point for me. Hookers are just masturbation with a rent-a-friend. And I already knew there were people stupid enough to think their particular mass media heroes are somehow a superior “choice” to the garbage polluting Western Civilization, and that there are secret illuminati perverts who ruin everything: I can get that kind of crap from any ding dong who has his bong on rapid dial.
Richard and Peter need the money to pay starving talented writers like Kieth Preston and Steve Sailer for useful and highly innovative and necessary content and they have a strong editorial policy that sticks to some kind of point. You ain’t doing that. Wordpress is already free for goofballs to post useless craziness.
Not tryin’ to be a dick here, your content is great, but a lot of this new shit is unnecessary and detracts from your overall Ferdi-perfection.
To add to that, since Brett posted and is generally awesome and on point; a feed aggregator including guys like Brett + some original content like yours and the occasional select guest would make In Mala Fide my one stop Alt Right home on the interbutts. You’re already doing the work. Spread them weekly linkfests of awesomeness out during the week, and presto: you’re the Instapundit of the Alternative Right.
If you’re hosting charges are $1000 / year, you’re probably getting ripped off. My website costs $60 / year to host and if I were to switch to virtual private server, then it won’t cost me more than $100-200 / year. Your website is not getting insane # of hits to go full dedicated server.
i would, but i’m insanely in debt to the point where i’m actually considering having a subway token budget. fuck my life.
I’m not paying for more of that Maxwell shit where he rambles incoherently. Sorry, dude, just can’t do it.
Besides, if you cut down on huuuuuuuuuuuge articles like his you’ll save shitpiles of bandwidth.
Just sayin’.
@ Lupo: thanks for the kind words. I think your suggestion is a good one. An Alt-Right supersite or superfeed would be a powerful thing.
@ Sean: this ain’t the late 1990s anymore. Bandwidth? That’s cheap. Processor, RAM and preferential service? Oh, those cost you a bit. Probably more like $50-$100 per month if you do it right.
@ sofia: More articles on how higher IQ men have huge penises, please!
Brett:
Not happening, not in this lifetime. It’s like the Chinese parable about the army with too many generals and not enough soldiers. The alt-right has a surplus of shepherds and a deficit of sheep. Too many egos are riding on the line to allow anyone to submit to any single person or site’s authority. (I don’t exclude myself from this judgement, BTW.)
Lupo:
That’s the point. Yeah, I have my limits as to what I’ll tolerate, but every other group blog out there is too safe, too timid. Not that I blame them – Spencer et al. need to eat. IMF is supposed to be the black sheep of the alt-rightsphere – the blog that goes where places like AltRight and The Spearhead don’t dare tread.
I’ve thought about that, but in order to make it work properly, I’d need more free time during the day. Right now, my job restricts my computer access during work hours. I’m working on fixing that, but weekly is the most I can do at the moment.
Zobby:
What Brett said. DreamHost also provides me with some nice services I can’t get anywhere else, and they’re remarkably lax about content (they used to host Encyclopedia Dramatica, for instance).
Donations will also help cover occasional blog-related software purchases. For example, I used the previous donation drive to buy licenses for the Mint analytics software and the Thesis theme.
@Ferd:
I dunno man, those guys (VDare and AltRight) get pretty far out there: much farther out than I’m always completely cool with. As far as I can tell, nobody who posts under their real name will ever be able to get a straight day job, unless they already have tenure. But there’s a difference between being daring and relevant and just being incoherent and nuts. Your content doesn’t matter if some of it can’t be taken seriously.
As for the blog aggregator idea -you don’t have to be timely and notice everything as it comes out; not even Glen Reynolds, who is fulltime and has helpers does that. Do the linkapalooza work on Sunday as you usually do, and divvy it out over the week. It would make my Sunday afternoons more productive, and my week more pleasant. I’m sure other fans feel the same way.
I hadn’t kept up with inmalafide in the past because I was focused on solely men’s rights blogs, but I’ve been pretty amazed by some of the articles here lately. As such, not only will I need to catch up on my inmalafide reading, but I am also compelled to donate.
My 2 cents: Inmalafide has become to centred around entertainment. It seeks to amuse the reader rather then inform or inspire.
Step up the quality, cut the junk (cough cough, Max).
And get some Martin Regnen up in this bitch!
Got a donation headed your way Ferd.
@ Tommy
Yes, What happend to Martin? I didn’t always agree with him. But to read something from him now would give me a pleasant nostalgia trip.
I’m broke as shit, but I’ll be sending a few bucks your way eventually.
Donation sent. Happy to help.
brett,
i am all for blogging about dick. if it didn’t discourage people from visiting my blog at work my wordpress banner would be a big veiny sweaty throbby (animated GIF!) cock.
Wordpress.com has been read-only all afternoon again. I’d be interested in hearing from Leonidas about his experiences with the satellite blog format.
Just do quarterly pledge drives like my local NPR station. :-)
There was a time, not so long ago, that anyone asking for money in the Manosphere was universally shunned.
Lately, it seems every twit with a fucking blog wants a couple grand. People who wrote for free were respected because of their unsaid moral fortitude.
Sorry, I can get all the content I want for free.
Dear inmalafide administrators:
May I warn you: advertising for sites with very low reputation, with high reputation for spam, can cost you dearly at google. It will cause serious down-grade of your site. I would re-consider the advertising policy:
The advertising for Canada Drug Center might cost you goodwill at google. Google downgrades you severely for linking to “low quality neighborhoods”.
http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/canadadrugcenter.com
In case you don’t know, all these so called legit sites sell meds that are not legal in the US or Canada. If it were only that, it would be bad enough. But usually they use spam for advertising. As you can see above, the reputation is not great.
Is this per month (pretty high) or per year (pretty low)? Most people are not aware that fully managed servers are not cheap. I just got my human-stupidity blog shut down when I got a spike of 10 000 visitors in a few hours.
Please note my comment about advertising for sites of bad repute getting you serious downgrades at google.
humanstupidity:
Per year, but it’s only going to go up as my traffic goes up. Donations also cover other blog related expenses, like software.
