Brazilians! Portuguese! I have fantastic news! Fidelbogen is now available in Portuguese!
Yes, our old frenemy Fidelbogen, the self-described Counter-Feminist Agent of Change (CFAC), and the would-be philosopher king of the manosphere, has managed to find someone who is, for some perverse reason, willing to translate snippets from Mr. F’s blogs into Portuguese.
This is a bit ironic, in that Fidelbogen’s writing, in its original English, reads a lot like a bad translation from the German. He’s a writer of almost pathological verbosity; rarely has any writer said so little with so many words. Not that, at the root, he has much to say; underneath all the verbiage, his ideas are trite and simplistic. And yet he seems convinced that he’s a genius. He’s one of those terrible writers who thinks he’s great. The manosphere is full of them.
And so I thought I’d use the opportunity to present some examples of Fidelbogen’s magisterial prose.
These examples are all from Mr. F’s new blog, CounterSnippets, which he evidently sees as a sort of “Dummies” version of his regular blog, The Counter-Feminist, a place where he can put forth pithy counter-feminist slogans for the masses. As he describes it:
This blog is a meme-dispersion apparatus. It is called “counter-snippets” because it features snippets of counter-feminist philosophy — sometimes one or two sentences, but typically a short paragraph. Each snippet is designed to be memorable and to stick in the reader’s mind. Having done so, it may take root and grow like a seed
As you’ll see from the examples below, Mr. F has not quite mastered the fine art of pithiness just yet.
Each of these quotes is from a separate post.
The complete phenomenology of female supremacism outdistances what any given feminist would openly acknowledge to be feminism, and the word feminism itself operates as a misdirection of attention. (Source)
In the end, the non-feminist revolution is not an identifiable human target group but a cloud of forces manifesting through human actions which can sometimes be politically linked to each other, but other times not. (Source)
In the end, the feminist left gets the bulk of its blood supply from the feminist right. And that blood supply is nothing less than old-school gynocentrism itself. (Source)
Feminism has driven you fifty miles out into the country and left you there to fend for yourselves. Yes, it is unwise to take rides from strangers. Now you’ve got some walking to do, but hopefully the exercise will prove beneficial. I am the messenger. (Source)
We would understand feminism as a gynonormative project, while acknowledging that it could not have come into operation without a preexisting base of gynocentricity in the traditional culture.
Gynonormativization is integral to the establishment of female supremacy. (Source)
Counter-feminist analysis concludes that feminism and female supremacism are interchangeable terms, and we assert that no other analysis will generate effective political traction.
You may agree, or not, that feminism equals female supremacism — yet female supremacism as a datum is not to be doubted. (Source)
We of the non-feminist sector claim the status of an autonomous power with respect to the feminist power on earth, and we demand the full measure of diplomatic courtesy due to such a status. (Source)
Feminism as a whole needs both the academic and the pop cohorts. The academic cohort is needful so that feminism will have an intellectual vanguard — so that the snake will have a head, in other words. The pop cohort is needful so that the vanguard ideology will be demographically incarnated in numbers — so that the snake will have a body, in other words. (Source)
Remember that ALL feminism is packed into a system of interwoven karma. ALL feminism contributes to an evolutionary trajectory which points toward a radical feminist future. (Source)
Your message will take root and grow only if you make the herd disintegrate. Do that, and their power to dismiss your message will disintegrate in tandem. And when people get to this point, they will instinctively cast about in search of a new herd they can join. You know how joiners are. So it is a good idea to prepare something they can cling to, that they will be more readily persuaded to make the jump. (Source)
If we translate all of his posts from Fidelbogenese to plain old English, the message of his blog seems to be pretty simple:
1) We non-feminists should be the ones to define what feminism is.
2) Not all feminists are radical feminists but somehow they really all are, because of … karma?
3) Once we defeat feminism, it should be easy enought to herd the former feminists into our flock if we set forth some nifty little memes for them to “cling to.”
It’s hard to imagine a philosophy that’s much more condescending and cynical than this. No wonder Fidelbogen tries to disguise his philosophy in giant gasous clouds of verbiage.
Dvarg, sorry to hear about your medication. It sucks when something that worked before is suddenly no good.
Am I the only one who’s getting the sense that I should keep an eye peeled for anything I mention about my stories suddenly showing up in DLColvin’s stuff? Because the simplest explanation for why she thinks we’re going to steal her identity is “it takes one to know one.”
If our awesome shared shark-and-octopus-and-gold-fixtures underwater fantasy gets the barely literate DL treatment I’m going to be pissed.
Oh sweet lollipops! Who the hell would want her identity? And why?
Pillow: That’s the best part: the Russian mafia!

Who wants her identity????!
Bwahahahahahaha!*gasp*hahahahahahahahaha!
Gold fixtures, octopus, sharks and barracuda! (Frankly, if the fixtures are still shiny, they’re going to be around, they like shiny)
Did some one say sweet lollipops though? I’ll take one please 🙂 Actually, I have a whole bunch of dum-dum pops if anyone wants one.
And for Pierre fans: Look who followed me home!
D’AWW, isn’t he precious? Wtf does it count as if I just realized like yesterday that it’s been nearly a year since sexytimes occurred (goddamned schedules and moving back to CT) …and that I only care because I miss the not-an-ex.
Also, I’m currently on the floor in the hallway so I can corral the cat whenever she comes out from under my brother’s bed. I’m not getting paid nearly enough for this ^.^
Argenti, here’s your virtual lollipop! I like the really big Swirly ones. Or maple syrup lollies. Those are good too.
Katz, you’ve got to be kidding me. People calling the cops because they can’t get dates? By the way, pierre is awesome and full of win!
katz, it took me a second to look in the comments. But wow!
Oh. And I have Beloveds entire Dr Who collection at my place. I have deprived him of his one true television joy. And it will be a while until I watch them all.
Now, if only I could find a way to liberate his beer…
Might I suggest an absinthe lollipop?
Ok wow, I’d never read his blog before — your strip fails to capture just how violently scary (and incestuous) this guy is. I much prefer the pillow fort version.
Also, the cat’s been wrangled.
Mmm, lollipops!
Yeah, ggg is either a) an extremely dangerous, disturbed criminal who really, really should not be on the streets right now or b) a Poe. His latest post, where he reveals that he demanded that his mother have sex with him and that he attacked and injured his parents and was arrested for it, suggests (to me) the latter. He’s been gradually adding more and more extreme details, in Poe fashion, and he always sticks with his story, unlike “real” MRAs, who usually backpedal (even from the apparent truth of their lives) when something makes them look bad.
But if he’s real, he’s not funny at all!
“It has been eight years since I’ve been aware of my attraction to women…”

He’s 24 apparently, this is wtf the belief that women are washed up at 25 gets us — young men threatening their parents if they can’t get laid at 24.
Someone please stage an intervention, I must stop reading his drivel, it’s both stupid and scary.
Oh hey, he wrote about us!

“I am also convinced that more incel men than raped women will commit suicide. I cannot prove that, but neither is he able to prove his which he holds on with religious fervour.”
And then he rants suicidal. Dude needs way more help than a girlfriend would provide.
Are we absolutely sure this isn’t our most persistent troll again?
Oh here’s a gem from his “I’m not a budding abuser” rant — “That bitch deserved it.”
I’m going to need a pillow fort after this!
Pecunium, you’re apparently scum in GGG’s eyes. Which is an improvement over how I see him, he’s like a tapeworm or something, with absolutely none of the “harmless food stuff for small life forms” that pond scum has going for it.
Tapeworm…there we go…dangerous, not remotely cute, damn near literally blood sucking…
Cassandra — idk, he does spend a strangely large percentage of that post on your comments. However, he makes the occasional error that suggests he isn’t a native English speaker, and, afaik, Mr. Whiny Pants is a native speaker.
Also, a basic, but functional, pillow fort — http://dad.blogs.giggle.com/files/2009/11/Couch-Fort.jpg
Every time we get a troll who just won’t leave, and who’s clearly obsessing about this place, my brain goes “him again?”. This may be a subconscious attempt to protect myself from the knowledge that young men like that are fairly common.
Yeah I’d love it if they were all him and Pell, but no, they seem to be a dime a dozen.
If it makes you feel better, I read some of GGG’s drivel to my 24 year old brother while wrangling the cat — “sounds like his problem”. So there’s at least one young man out there who knows better (mind you, his favorite jokes still enough bathroom humor, and taking one step by me, farting, and claiming he’d already passed me when he farted…younger siblings *shakes head*)
Oh, I know most young men are quite reasonable people. It’s just that it only takes a few like that to piss in the pool and make it less fun for everyone else to swim in.
Conaidering these guys act like small children, that analogy is altogether too apt.
Also, I think I’m building a pillow fort once I nuke my coffee, because I can 🙂
katz – even if GGG is a Poe, he’s not remotely funny, he’s disgusting. Argenti’s right, tapeworm is a good description.
pillow in hell – that was my response to DL Clodninny too. Who the hell would want her identity? She’s not a patch on any of the regulars here, who not only have identities, but wait for it … personalities.
Oh, and who can write.
