Men’s Rights subreddit regular Demonspawn (remember him?) is back again with some deliberately vague but definitely threatening talk about judges and politicians:
Not a lot of “plausible deniability” here, though I am sure various MRAs will try to excuse this as not being what it obviously is: a threat of violence against judges, politicians and others who work for the government.
He’s done this before; I wrote about it here.
And while we’re on the topic of Demonspawn, here’s a little followup comment of his from the thread we discussed the other day. It’s a giant wall of text, I know, but it contains gems like: “When women mouth off to men and get their faces bashed in, they’ll know equality.” At least this comment of his got as many downvotes as upvotes.
I’m banned from the Men’s Rights subreddit, of course, but Demonspawn, despite repeatedly violating the subreddit’s rules about posting comments advocating violence, continues to post away. See his comment history for more lovely thoughts on, among other things, why women are parasites who don’t deserve the vote.
Sir Bodsworth,
Good sir, if you have any way of getting me an “in” with UNCLE I will do your taxes for life. I have always wanted to be an agent of the United Network Command for Law Enforcement!
Best regards,

@indifferentsky
The numbers are insignificant when compared to the total population, that doesn’t mean I think it’s okay for people to die. I just think the focus on workplace deaths is a smokescreen. The number of people that suffer workplace accidents in total is far higher than the number of people who die as a result.
I am all for safety measures to prevent workplace accidents and proper regulations to ensure that companies actually institute those measures. Plus, Joe is being extremely disingenuous by bringing up workplace accidents when he has stated opposition to parental leave because it’s “not that important”.
@ drst – Mr Waverley will be in touch.

@cloudiah
No, you fool, you have to spell it N5A. You’ve doomed us all!
@Myoo – you’re LYING.
You can’t blockquote me saying that re. leave, because I didn’t say it.
*Snoopy dance*
Ahem. I mean, “I eagerly await contact. I have my pen communicator ready.”
Joe, I forgot to mention that I don’t really care what the government does because I’m the founder, president, and only member of the Illuminati, I control them anyway.
Oh, wow, we’ve got Joe as the turd in this thread’s punchbowl, and the incel whiner in the other. What the fuck is going on tonight?
@aworldanonymous:
Oh, is that what you think? You have no idea how deep the rabbit hole goes, my friend.
I wish I had the imagination to believe that the Soviets, CIA and bankers were part of a feminist conspiracy to rule the world.
On second thought, I don’t actually want my imagination to be like that.
@Joe
That wasn’t a blockquote but whatever, I get what you mean, I shouldn’t have used quote marks, because you didn’t say that exactly. What you said was:
Which to me looks a lot like an indication that you don’t think parental leave is important. The bit in quotation marks was meant to be a paraphrase.
Also, Joe? You’re entire argument re: workplace fatalities seems to rest on a fallacy, namely that people cannot care about more than one thing simultaneously. Which is completely untrue.
I live in West Virginia. I would bet folding money I and my neighbors have thought far more about workplace injuries and deaths than you have.
I also care about the 6 people murdered in Wisconsin today for the crime of being brown and not Christian in America. Btw, most if not all the victims were male, including the police officer who was shot.
I care about women in Arizona who will be forced to carry a dead fetus and possibly die themselves if the new anti-abortion law there goes into effect.
I care about a lot of things. Those are 3 of them. That I give voice to concern about one of them at a given moment is not proof I care only about that issue. Your argument is invalid.
Blast it. “Your” not “you’re”
*sigh*
I can’t believe people kept trying to debate this guy after the first time he mentioned Libertarian Politician/Cult Leader Who Cannot Be Named. That’s the universal Internet sign to disengage.
I vote we all pick Roller Derby names for ourselves instead.

To joe the idiot: We just had a safety stand down today at my job at a mine site. My department has had enough worrisome incidents that my boss and I stopped the entire operation to have a talk with everyone about current safety. I know most big companies have similar policies too. We investigate and report everything including near misses to find out if there is a way to prevent it from happening again. No one (in developed nations that is… Sadly it should be globally) is being treated as being disposable. There are government regulations that protect the lives and well being of workers. There is recourse if you are hurt on the Job… But wait isn’t joe somehow against the government interfering with his freedomz or something… All I know is I can tell this idiot right now we take the safety of our workers exremely seriously and try to eliminate preventable accidents. Yes, some people have more dangerous jobs than others. Typically the guys doing the dangerous things in my line of work do get compensated for it. A fairly new miner/ driller/ equipment operator can typically bring home a larger paycheck than I do and I went to school and I run part of the show. So I really don’t see this men working dangerous jobs for little compensation trope in my experience. Again I refer only to north America because that’s my experience. And I’m pretty sure joe is just speaking about developed nations anyway as I don’t see him as the type to give a frack about the men and women who put their lives on the line daily in courties which lack our stable government and regulations.

Oh no no, I didn’t say it ends at me, there’s governments, then me, then the lizards (who are actually quite nice when you get to know them), then the mole people, then there’s the nameless man, and then The Doctor.
Also my Roller Derby name is The Mysterious Stranger, because I have no capacity for creativity.

Also Curiosity is landing on mars, completely irrelevant but too cool not to share.
Myoo, yes! I get you. It’s Joe that is arguing that people are disrespecting this sacrifice.
The numbers are a decent answer to his griping that men are under appreciated for their sacrifice. I started veering off into Joe land based on a couple of posts, so I clarified.
Also my posts didn’t acknowledge the reality that Bad-dog is talking about here. There is definitely pain staking efforts made to reduce accidents in the Western world. This is due to insurance costs, no doubt. Yes, they are heavily compensated. With the proper insurance coverage the family should be set up for life. And of course, it’s still sad and tragic.
Joe making this a men vs. women dealio is fail.
And men typically do run things. Leave it to an MRA to turn a feminist point on its head and claim that men are heroes for doing so. Women can be “heros” too by this criteria. It’s hard for them to get in the male dominated fields.
@aworldanon
I’m waiting for it to blow up like the last one did over failure to convert figures into metric.
That was a whole lot of money there, -Kaboom!
Curiosity is kind of supercool, because SPACE.
Is that really why the last one blew up? Oof.
I’m kind of hopeful for this one, Every step towards space colonization is a step in a direction I like a lot.
