some notes I collected:
- Corporate jobs can teach valuable skills (work speed, file handling, business processes), even if the work is unpleasant.
- Thereâs a difference between âtoilâ (soul-crushing labor) and work that provides experience or value.
- If your job is pure toil and provides nothing, you should leave; but if youâre learning, itâs worth sticking with for a while.
- Having a mentor in your 20s is extremely valuableâfind someone experienced who can teach you.
- Donât waste time endlessly deliberating between options; when faced with a fork in the road, just pick one and move forward.
- Money is a form of âmeta-energyâ that you trade your time, effort, and life forârespect its importance.
- Avoid lifestyle inflation: when you start earning more, donât immediately upgrade your lifestyle (e.g., buying luxury cars).
- Donât spend more than 5% of your net worth on a car or luxury item.
- Expensive cars and luxury goods are rarely worth it; the difference in experience is often negligible.
- If youâre unhappy, focus on being functional and disciplined rather than chasing happiness.
- Set goals, find something worth fighting for, and dedicate yourself to it for fulfillment.
- Discipline problems often stem from not having clear goals.
- It can take years to figure out what people will pay you forâexpect a long search for monetizable skills.
- If you find something that works, pursue it with intensity (âhammer itâ).
- If your job is painful but pays well, at least save the moneyâdonât waste it on short-term relief.
- Avoid addiction and destructive habits; they will sabotage your progress.
- Success often comes from being present, likable, and open to opportunities, not just from targeted effort.
- Most people donât regret not âenjoying their 20sââthey regret not building something meaningful.
- Donât get fixated on material status symbols; focus on building real value and skills.
Corporate Job Experience
Sam Hyde learned valuable business processes and work habits from his corporate job, despite disliking it.
In the video, Sam Hyde describes his experience working at a sports marketing company that did signage for stadiums. Although he found the job unpleasant and realized he wasnât suited for corporate 9-to-5 work, he highlights a few key things he learned: ⢠He picked up useful skills like work speed and file handling procedures. ⢠He observed how a medium-sized corporate business manages every element of its operations. ⢠This exposure gave him insight into professional business processes, which he found valuable later on.
Hereâs how he puts it:
âI had a job doing Sports Marketing which very much sucked ass but I got my work speed and my file handling procedure from that place. I got to see how a corporate 9 to 5 medium-sized business handles their⌠so I was picking stuff up.â
So, even though the job was not enjoyable, it provided him with practical skills and an understanding of how businesses operate, which he considers useful experience.
Ideology and Controversies
His ideology, often obscured by irony, includes:
Alt-Right Association: Linked to alt-right ideology, appealing to anti-progressive, pro-white audiences. Uses dog whistlesâsubtle racist, misogynistic, or antisemitic referencesâpopular on 4chan/8chan. Critiques âfeminizationâ and political correctness, framing comedy as cultural pushback.
Transgressive Humor: Comedy thrives on outrage, trolling with offensive content (e.g., 2013 TEDx talk, homophobic stand-up). Blurs satire and genuine belief, leading to hate speech accusations.
Far-Right Support: Donated $5,000 to Andrew Anglinâs (The Daily Stormer) legal defense, associated with Richard Spencer, and spread Sandy Hook conspiracy theories.
Anti-Establishment/Media: Opposes mainstream media and progressive norms, alleging censorship. Claims World Peace was canceled by Adult Swim due to Trump support and external pressure.
Post-Irony/Ambiguity: Defenders argue his work is performative trolling to expose societal absurdities. Critics, including academics, say irony normalizes extremist views, as fans take content literally.
Deplatformed from YouTube, Twitter, and Reddit for hate speech violations, Hyde operates on private platforms. His ideology, whether sincere or performative, challenges liberal norms through provocative humor, often amplifying far-right sentiments under satireâs guise.
Controversial Views / Reddit Post

Just speaking for myself (Sam)â
Iâll always have anarchic/outsider sympathies/tendencies but⌠the SJW stuff and the diversity stuff have gone too far, past the point of no return. And Iâm a super tolerant guy, Iâm perfectly happy to have people screaming in my face and insulting me if thatâs what it takes to have prosperity and a stable and fair society. But if you read enough of this shit you realize thatâs not the endgame planâthe plan is to have anything white/masculine/traditional totally eliminated or suppressed.
A year or two back, I mightâve said the most important issues were⌠surveillance, ending the war on drugs, campaign finance reform, military adventurismâsomething like that. But Iâve grown weary of having all this feminist nihilist shit plopped on my lap, and Iâm tired of people telling me that Iâve got some original sin and the only way to cleanse myself is by acting like Tim Wise. Gamergate was eye-opening, BlackLivesMatter was eye-opening, but what really drove the point home and crystalized this perspective was reading about things like RotherhamâŚ
Europe is in a dire situation: culture is being destroyed, some neighborhoods are being turned into trash dumps, and a lot of these places might not ever be the same. I donât think thatâs a good thing, or a healthy thing, to take people who build statues and create wealth and invent science and replace them with people who use alleyways as bathrooms and are 10-20x more likely to rape. Iâm sorry I just donât think thatâs good, I know itâs insensitive as hell, but itâs too late now to tiptoe around it or use a bunch of mumbo-jumbo to explain it differently. This is just the way it is, Europe is in a dire situation: culture is being destroyed, some neighborhoods are being turned into trash dumps, and a lot of these places might not ever be the same.

Iâm sorry I just donât think thatâs good, I know itâs insensitive as hell, but itâs too late now to tiptoe around it or use a bunch of mumbo-jumbo to explain it differently. This is just the way it is, Europe is being invaded and weâd better fucking wake up if we have any chance of preventing that from happening here.
Itâs possible to feel this way and at the same time be compassionate. Send them money, let them use the technology we invented, give them whatever they need to pull themselves out of poverty, quit starting wars for oil and for Israelâall that stuff is well and good, but by keeping borders open weâre taking the most productive, inventive, civilized, free countries and dumping them into the incinerator. Of course we have problems, of course the NSA is bad, of course it would be nice if we could all have $15 an hour for whatever, but would you rather live here, or in Malaysia or China or Saudi Arabia? Do you really think the best way to make our society more Utopian is by importing displacement levels of Malays, Chinese, or Saudis?
Whether you think the problem is genetic or cultural, it doesnât matter when you import immigrants in large numbers, because they form communities that donât integrate. They bring their language and their religion with them, and they vote for socialist policies. This will continue until white people have been sucked dry, and then there wonât be any voting anymore, thereâll be Sharia law instead. Weâre putting Western Civ on the alter as a sacrifice to white guilt because weâre worried some frizzy-haired Afro transsexual will wag his finger at us.
We didnât build all this shit and invent all this shit, our ancestors didâitâs only ours to safeguard, not to flush down the toilet. You didnât get burned at the stake for saying something heretical, your ancestors did, so itâs pretty fucking shameful if youâre ready to give up your guard post for intellectual freedom and separation of church and state because some snarky tattooed dyke is hissing at you. These fuckers have shifted everything so far out of wack and to not fight back now is the same thing as being on their side.
Comedy shouldnât be âpoliticalâ⌠Sensitive WASPy types donât like when things get publicly political. Sam Hyde is funny I just wish he wouldnât be âpoliticalâ⌠First of all, nobody even BATS A FUCKING EYE when Zach Galifianakis or Jim Carrey dips into some political issue that they know nothing about (because their views fall safely in the bubble of insanity that is societally accepted as âOKâ). Secondly⌠THIS ISNâT EVEN POLITICAL! The slow smothering death of Western Civilization is not a political issue, itâs a historical issue, as in we are toying with the fruits of 2000 years of bloody labor as if theyâre just piNata prizes.
I donât want to shove politics in everyoneâs face all the time. I happen to think that free-market capitalism kicks socialismâs ass and that spying and war are bad. I voted for Gary Johnson in 2012. If you think that a universal basic income is a good idea, or that weed should remain illegal, or think whatever about gay marriage, I donât care about those things enough to alienate viewers and Iâm trying to shove my opinions in your face as little as possible. Even if you think that people are born boys and turn into girls, whatever, I think Bruce Jenner is really funny but I donât care enough to go beyond making jokes about ropes. But this isnât about politics, itâs about having an identity and a home and not losing these beautiful civilizations that took so long to create.
The future is headed towards Cormac McCarthyâs The Road and talking/thinking about it gives you an uh-oh boo-boo feeling in your tummy because someone might call you waycis? A lot of people have been hitting me up recently to ask about this, and everybody comes to the same conclusion, they agree and can see whatâs happening, but addressing it head-on gives them a no-no feeling, like a bad. They feel a bad, and they worry that people will think theyâre bad racers, shame no-no.
This doesnât mean you have to start hating black people or using racial slurs or deliberately making yourself unpopular at parties, but whites need to regain some sort of cohesive tribal self-interest and identity right now just like everybody else has or in fifty years this country is going to be like Brazil (the bad parts, not the sexy babes and beaches and rich dudes in white linen suits). Itâs possible to have compassion for Third-Worlders, goodwill towards all mankind, respectful conversations with and attitudes towards people who donât look like you, and at the same time not want your own country to become a cesspit :) Sorry for getting all âpoliticalâ, Iâll go make some funny faces now!
