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.)
What did I do wrong?
What did I do right? Argh!
“I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve been through rape. I can’t even imagine that it’s like.”
Thank you, but honestly? The part where no one wants to just accept that without questioning all the damned details is almost worse. Combine that with bipolar depression and you get a lovely mix of self blame. Which, logically enough, means not pressing charges (actually, none of the aforementioned four have faced charges, for various reasons)
@ The Omega Woman
If you can get over the initial jitters I promise that commenting here will make you feel like you deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, in comparison to some of the charmers who visit to grace us with their wisdom.
I’m also sorry to hear that Argenti =(
*hug*
Brooklyn G, the second time you type it you need a / before the word blockquote. And it isn’t blockquotes, the S will break the HTML. But really, better to get the broken blockquote out of the way, it happens o us all (Cassandra had an epic broken blockquote earlier 🙂 )
@ Omega Women
You have succeeded where many fail =D
AAAAARGH that’s the third one today! Blockquotes, why you hate me?
Hey, you mean the one that was about a page long? That wasn’t mine!
Not that I haven’t suffered from blockquote fail in the past.
Thanks Brooklyn G.
The Omega Woman — Cassandra’s right, I view the trolls here as proof that I’m better than someone, low bar to be sure, but that prevents disappointment.
I did commit the sin of the double period above, though. MRA punctuation is infectious.
Please tell me we’re not all going to start writing like Steele.
Not actually a serial killer? Congratulations, you’re a better person than Slavey.
Diogenes is disappointing: so much ambition, so little entertainment value. Unless you take him to the top of a hill and tip his barrel over.
“Hey, you mean the one that was about a page long? That wasn’t mine!”
I do, yes, sorry to blame you for it then.
Kitteh — es ergo oderunt (you are, therefore they hate [you])
I apparently remember more Latin than I’d have guessed!
I dunno, the new thing where he keeps accusing hellkell of being a troll is vaguely entertaining. None of our petulant young men will ever top “stupid fartworld” in the hilariously ineffective insults category, though.
“stupid fartworld”
*dies*
I’m so calling my brother that now.
But wtf do you mean with “Not actually a serial killer? Congratulations, you’re a better person than Slavey.”
Hey, even Dave has done the double period thing. It gave away his secret that he IS Paul Elam, JohntheOtter, Slavey, all of them. He is the entire MRM.
Actually I suspect he’s really Basement Cat.
OMGS I just did stupid HTML. I typed <em>actually</a>
*goes to the corner of shame*
Me, me! I wanna!
*dies*
While this would get vyle pretty quickly, I think that Write, Indeed, Like And Similarly To Steele Day would be consyderably more fun than Talk Like A Cornish Yokel Pirate Stereotype Day.
Every time I try to write like Steele I just can’t make myself go through with it. The urge to go back and fix things takes over, and my inner editor wants to cry.
@ Argenti
I was just trying to think of people more horrible than Slavey and “serial killer” was the only thing that was coming to mind. I think it’s the pedophilia that really pushes him over the edge into “there’s something seriously wrong with this guy” territory. Even other MRAs seem to think he’s lost the plot.
Cassandra, ok, as long as “he’s really killed people” didn’t get revealed while I was on hiatus. Because yeah, that’d be only mildly surprising.
@Argenti: that’s the classic misHTML though. It’s almost certainly considered “vintage” by now.
Despite my feelings on cats, I went ahead and got a catvatar! =D
