MGTOWers, a little late to the party, try their hand at a Downfall parody video

How to make a hilarious “Downfall” parody, in two steps.

Step One: Make one like this.

Step Two: Don’t make one like this.

Naturally, the second video here went over like gangbusters on the Men’s Rights subreddit.  One critic declared:

Another had this suggestion:

I dunno. “Your_Fun_Counselor” doesn’t really strike me as being very much fun at all.

Free range, grass eating? Sounds like an excellent pasture raised steak is on the grill…

Jesus, Joe, make sure you drink plenty of water before you go to bed.

No, Joe, don’t drink the water, that’s how they control your mind, man.

I wish someone would teach mra’s how to quote things so that shit is legible.

I googled ‘Man Tax’. I got something about Bioncle, a Manchester based taxi company, some stuff about taxes on the Isle of Man, and link to mises.org, which I presume is the one he’s on about. Since I make a point of never clicking on mises.org (blood pressure, you know) I guess I’ll never learn about this totally real threat

Joe: No prob, I’ll link you to one.

As you can see, in my location (Los Angeles), it’s almost 6:00 and therefore I would have been off work for most of an hour, except that I’m home sick. For our central and midwestern posters it’s 7:00-8:00. And for those on the east coast, of whom there are many, it’s about 9:00.

Most of our posters are from the continental US, so you can see that they are all off work already if they work standard hours. We also have some British posters, for whom it’s about 2 AM. Bit late to be up, perhaps, but still not work hours for most.

Our Australian posters (of whom we have one or two) should go to work, though, as well as any in Asia or Alaska/Hawaii.

Wait, is Joe the MU5LIMS one, or was that a different troll without a cogent argument?

Hey, I’m an Australian poster; I work part time because I’m a Uni student, and I don’t have any classes until this afternoon.

The man-tax or bachelor tax is one of those ideas that just keeps on turning up. It just won’t lie down and die…

It dates back to Rome:
“…in 18 B.C. Julius Caesar introduced his own “bachelor tax” in an attempt to get Rome’s hedonistic aristocracy off the couch and into the bedroom…”

The USSR had a childlessness tax 1941 – 1990, and there’s talk of reviving it:
http://rt.com/politics/russia-demographics-bachelor-tax/

Feminists in Sweden wanted a man-tax:
http://www.theagitator.com/2005/10/24/bad-europe-swedens-proposed-man-tax/

It’s a recurring thing:
“BACHELOR TAX
A favorite strategy of governments to encourage population growth and raise money at the same time. Julius Caesar tried it in 18 B.C. The English imposed it in 1695. The Russians under Peter the Great used it in 1702, as did the Missouri legislature in 1820. The Spartans of ancient Greece didn’t care about the money—they preferred public humiliation. Bachelors in Sparta were required to march around the public market in wintertime stark naked, while singing a song making fun of their unmarried status. ….”

Apologies to posters in non-English-speaking countries, of course; that was a rather Anglocentric explanation of time zones.

Oh right. Isn’t that part of NOW’s legislative agenda for next year?

@Sir Wotsit – look I have saved you from Googlefail.

@Katz – guess what? There are shitloads of people who work outside office hours all over the globe! I know, I know you want a citation for that right? Ahahahahahaha!!

And, for that matter, to Canadian posters. I know we have a bunch of those.

But srsly, we have students, we have stay-at-home parents, we have people working part-time, we have people out on disability, and we have people who just freakin’ can’t find jobs.

I don’t know about the UK but in the US, at least, single people pay at a higher tax rate, IIRC. It’s one of the reasons queer folks would like to get married- we can pay taxes at the partnered rate instead of filing them singly.

That’s interesting; in Australia it’s the opposite; a household of two people making 40 000 each will pay more tax than one in which one partner makes 80 000 and the other doesn’t do paid work.

@Linds – ^Well, then you already have a single-person tax! That’s sort of true in the UK if one partner doesn’t work, because sharing of tax-free allowances.

Don’t be surprised if some bright spark proposes a penis tax on top of that though.

It seems a childlessness tax would affect both sexes, but don’t let common sense stand in your way.

The man tax “keeps turning up,” but he can only list four instances in two thousand years. Bwahahahahaha…..also, men implemented each one of them, so what exactly do feminists have to do with it?

Blitzgal: in reality, nothing. But in MRA fantasyland, we control the legislatures of everywhere, making the man tax a viable option.

“An instant MRA classic.”

Exactly.

@ blitzgal – I thought much the same thing. But,by pretending it’s a possibility in modern Britain, it means the fact that he can’t get a girlfriend makes him a libertarian hero.
