Well, now you’ve gone and done it, you evil feminists: you’ve turned 0bvious_Atheist into a Nazi!
We first met the Men’s Rights subreddit regular the other day, when in a fit of ingenuity he blamed the Newtown school shootings on, er, Title IX. Well, his strange political journey has continued, and on his blog, on Boxing Day, the Canadian MRA officially announced his conversion to neo-Nazism. Literally. Let’s let him explain:
I have grown impatient
I have lost my desire for conventional activism. We live in an era where men like Warren Farrell are run off campus by mobs of Femistasi, men like Keenan Midgley get maligned for trying to start Men’s Centres, JohnTheOther gets harassed in the streets and others like him get assaulted, Mr. Heimbach a white students advocate in the United States, is constantly maligned by the media and the intellectual establishment, and Jared Taylor, a meek and mild Yale graduate, is harassed at every turn by the establishment.
Huh. I have to admit I’m not completely up-to-date on all the examples of anti-white, anti-male oppression he lists here, but I would like to point out that Warren Farrell did not, in fact, get run off the University of Toronto campus. A number of students protested his visit, some of them quite rudely, but the police interceded on his behalf, clearing away protesters so he could go ahead and make his speech.
I also looked up that vague reference to “Mr. Heinbach,” and discovered that Matthew Heimbach is a student at Maryland’s Towson University who wants to start a White Student Union there. As part of his campaign for tolerance on behalf of America’s beleaguered white majority, he recently posed in front of Martin Luther King Jr.’s church in Montgomery holding a Confederate flag.
Gosh, how terribly unfair it is that some people might have criticized him for this.
Mr. Atheist continues:
I’m a young man. I don’t have the patience to go around asking for permission to exercise my inalienable, natural right to freedom of association. As Harold Covington said, Whites feel they need a permission slip from quote “the Jews” unquote to advocate for them. I feel the same thing can be said of Men’s Rights Activism. We feel that we need permission from Feminists, the intellectual establishment, and the state to self-advocate. Our entire movement has become a quest for permission from the left to self-advocate.
I’m pretty sure that not even a single molecule of that is even remotely true. What color is the sky in Imaginary Backwards Land?
We want a Men’s Ministry in the government. We want Men’s organizations on campus. We want White student unions. All of those things are politically toxic to the establishment and out of reach, and furthermore, if you look at what the “Men’s Ministries” in the Northern European welfare states have done you will remain unimpressed, and perhaps even alarmed, at how little they have mitigated the total alienation of young men from the respective societies of those countries.
Of course, the young men who are most alienated from society in the Northern (and Southern) European welfare states today are the immigrants who are so despised by Mr. Atheist and his fellow White “Nationalist” racist assholes. And these young male immigrants aren’t feeling alienated because of a lack of White Student Unions or the unimpressive actions of Men’s Ministries; they’re feeling alienated because of racism and a lack of jobs.
With this in mind we must recognize that productive organizations simply are not going to become a reality. If you doubt me, you can go look at what they did to Dr Warren Farrell when he tried to speak at the University of Toronto. I have absolutely no desire to be screamed at, spit on, expelled, fired, ostracized, and made into a pariah for simply asking to exercise my right to freedom of association.
So the fact that a couple of dozen students protested against a speaker on a college campus, delaying his talk for half an hour or so, means that normal political activity on behalf of your ass-backwards faux “civil rights movement” is impossible? Mr. Atheist, do you have any fucking idea what real civil rights advocates went through in order to get the same basic rights as everyone else, like the right to fucking vote? Do you think that feminists weren’t ever “screamed at, spit on, expelled, fired, ostracized, and made into … pariah(s)?”
What sort of strange entitled bubble do you live in that you think political activism should be painless? Or that your political opponents should simply roll over once you express your opinions?
Congratulations intellectual establishment. After around 14 years of politically correct education at politically correct institutions run by politically correct professors you have alienated me, first as a White, and secondly as a male. I have got absolutely no patience for your goddamn processes, your forms, your organizational quotas and quorums required to get approval from the UVSS. I’m fed up, and I’m going elsewhere else to self-advocate.
If you’re really serious about going “elsewhere else,” might I suggest another planet?
As market Anarchists and Libertarians constantly must remind you crypto-Marxists, if you ban something the buyer will go elsewhere in the market to get it. That’s exactly what I plan to do. Rather than grovelling at the feet of professors, academics, pseudo-intellectual social justice warriors, and Femistasi, I’m just going to go join the Western Front, a quasi-Neo-Nazi, semi-illegal White Nationalist political organization that accepts me for what I am and understands my problems. You have driven a relatively well off, intelligent, middle class, White male, who used to vote NDP, into the arms of the very people you taught me to despise for the totality of my formative years.
Great. I guess the one upside of all this is that Mr. Atheist won’t be calling feminists “feminazis” from now on. Not that “femistasi” is much of an improvement.
Oh, and in case anyone needs visual evidence of how much of a racist fuck 0bvious_Atheist really is — not that there’s much doubt — here’s a link to a cartoon he stuck onto the end of one of his recent YouTube videos. But first, a TRIGGER WARNING for really really racist rape imagery. Link.
(Note: There doesn’t seem to be any information online about a neo-Nazi group called Western Front, at least not in Canada. There was evidently one by that name in Los Angeles at one point. Does this group, like the anti-white-male oppression he talks about, exist only in 0bvious_Atheist’s head? EDITED TO ADD: There is a group called Northwest Front; presumably that’s what he meant.)
I love how he makes this declaration as if anyone beyond himself gives a shit.
I don’t know who Obvious_Atheist is, but given this crap, it seems to me like we’d be better off without him, anyways.
Good riddance.
What a coincidence! I’m just finishing up “Manhood in America; a cultural history” by Michael Kimmel….white, angry men…terrific…
“Femistasi”
I want that stenciled on a tank top.
Let me guess, Obvious Fuckwit is also one of that breed of internet douchebags who think being atheist proves they’re smarter than anyone who isn’t, all the while demonstrating their own stupidity.
What. A. Loser.
Holy shit, don’t click on the link to the cartoon, just take David’s word for it that it’s horrible.
Also, I wonder which Obvious Feminist Overlord English Teacher taught Mr. Atheist to capitalize “white” when using it as a descriptor. It isn’t derived from a proper noun, and it shouldn’t be capitalized unless at the beginning of a sentence or quotation.
::gasp::
You mean he went to school with Steele?
Somehow I think he wanted to be a neo-Nazi all along, but didn’t have the stones. This is his excuse. I love how it’s always someone else’s fault with MRAs. They always frame themselves as such passive actors.
Of course it’s toxic. It’s fucking racist, sexist garbage. Duh.
… Jesus pants.
*needs brain bleach*
Seconding.
My all time favorite MRA meme:
We tried being reasonable!
Uh… when, exactly?
I don’t believe he’s flounced off in a huff into the neo-Nazis so much as found where his leanings have been all along. His neo-Nazism was up his sleeve/in his pocket/under the false bottom in the hat all along. He’ll never make a good magician, he was no good at misdirection.
Brain bleach: this is how to overthrow feminism (warning: involves kittehs) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAfpq6EPKck
“We thought about organizing politically, but it turns out that this takes work, and also, pretty much everyone hates us. So we’ll just, uh, overthrow the government instead?”
Don’t tell me, let me guess. He is one of the “nice guys” from OKcupid, right?
I’m always rather relieved when they openly admit their racism, since it usually lurks just below the surface in talk about “thugs” and such. I will not click on that cartoon, since I can all too easily imagine…
Another thing not to click on is the recent AVfM post about India — the comments especially. Again, you can probably all too easily imagine what they’re saying. (For that matter, the comments on recent FtB posts about India have their fair share of fail too, but at least the bloggers and commenters treat the asshats as they deserve.)
White supremacists like to capitalize “white,” I guess ’cause it makes just them just that more special.
And here we have yet another “I’m leaving, for reals this time!” manifesto from yet another MRA. Yes, you’re so fucking oppressed. If you promise to really leave, we promise to miss you, okay? Now fuck off, that’s a good boy.
Holy…
That “cartoon” is really one of the most horrible things I’ve ever seen illustrated. And just why does Obvious Atheist believe that it’s perfectly fine to be not only sexist, but also racist and antisemitic?
I’m always so confused as to where the heck people learn that it’s acceptable to go around hating others like that…?
First an MRA and now a Neo-Nazi, eh? So I guess he’ll be spending the rest of his sorry existence wanking off intellectually on stormfront. Yup, he’s a real winner, that guy.
So raise your hand is you’re surprised that an MRA feels aligned with Nazis.
*crickets*
Also, why do so many MRAs believe that civil rights for those of us who are NOT white and/or male were so easily won? Did they just not pay attention in any history class from 7th grade forward?
Or do they truly feel that the documentations of women and racial minorities are works of fiction created solely to make them feel bad?
I think they are convinced that people are abusing the White Man civil rights by exercising their not White Man civil rights.
Thirding.
“Or do they truly feel that the documentations of women and racial minorities are works of fiction created solely to make them feel bad?”
In NWOs case, yes.
[cheese]
Boy, this guy really puts the ZERO in Zerobvious!
[/cheese]
But yeah, count me as among those not surprised that the privilege blind chucklefuck turns to fucking Nazis when the world doesn’t immediately bow to his demands. Hitler Baby in a nutshell.
These MRAs are giving us atheists a bad name.
White middle class reactionary afraid of losing privilege (i.e. of being declasse and joining the working class) decides to join fascist parties. Surprise! (Not really, that’s like the classic fascist demographic.)
