## **Phase 2: Quiet Expansion and Mutual Support**
### **4. Initiate New Members Gradually**
* Don’t advertise. Use **invitation only** and initiate men **individually** with solemnity and purpose.
* Make it meaningful: shared hardship, a vow, a test of trust.
* Keep group sizes small (<12 per cell) to prevent disruption and encourage real brotherhood.
### **5. Create a Private Mutual Aid Network**
* Share resources: jobs, legal help, emergency aid, health skills, tools, shelter.
* This builds a **functional dependency network** that strengthens loyalty and detaches from hostile systems.
### **6. Encourage Physical and Psychological Resilience**
* Strength training, martial arts, fasting, hiking, cold exposure, discipline routines.
* Mental training: stoicism, traditional ethics, propaganda immunity.
* Members should become harder to intimidate or demoralize.

## **Phase 3: Federation and Cultural Production**
### **7. Build Parallel Culture**
* Start producing internal content:
* Write essays, manifestos, poems, initiation rites
* Record audio/podcast materials for internal morale and education
* Design basic symbols, colors, or regalia (low-profile but meaningful)
* This builds **cultural memory** and internal gravity.
### **8. Federate Cells into a Loosely-Connected Network**
* Each group governs itself but follows **shared principles** and cooperates for larger action.
* Communication through encrypted platforms (Matrix, Session, ProtonMail), avoiding mainstream apps.
