I’ve heard tell that some Pickup Artists aren’t actually misogynistic pieces of shit. Unfortunately, I keep running across guys like Firepower here, whose blog I discovered only yesterday, and purely by accident (though evidently I’ve quoted him off the Spearhead a couple of times before)
Here he is doing some wonderful PR work for his fellow PUAs, defending them (and himself) against accusations that they treat women like “disposable blow-up dolls.” Not so, says Firepower:
The only women puas treat as “disposable blow up dolls”
Are the actual real-life disposable blow up dolls.
That might seem like a pretty revealing confession on his part. But it turns out that by “actual real-life disposable blow up dolls” he doesn’t actually mean “actual real-life disposable blow up dolls.” He means, you know, sluts.
The barsluts and bimbos. The inveterate Jersey Housewives fan. The JWOWW’s of the world. Not female author types: The barslut dolls should be (and once were) the obvious natural enemy of good females. Barsluts = BAD females. Bad females are a Fuck & Chuck.
Not to be confused with Chuck & Buck.
Also, aren’t PUAs the very definition of barsluts themselves? Don’t they spend most of of their time in bars trying to have sex with every “hot” woman who will talk to them?
Never mind, because Firepower is off and running again, offering his fascinating opinions on how feminism is to blame for all the barsluts he runs across out there while he is barslutting gaming women.
Feminism was the worst Western Decline Symptom to happen to males vis-à-vis male courtship roles; it created entitled tattooed sluts with foul mouths and so many sex-partners that any decent man would cringe at the number. What True Man would marry a girl with a 300+ penis score – a proud whore who’s actually LOUD about it? It’s why roosh fled america. Good women are low notch women.
Somehow I’m guessing the real reason Roosh fled America was because too many American women were calling him on his bullshit.
Feminism is only beneficial in the now facile, guilt-free, post-sex disengagement ritual freeing males from traditional chivalry via the implicit easy-exit Feminism unwittingly unleashed.
Was that even a sentence?
Dude, I think you might need to put down your copy of Day Bang and pick up Strunk and White.
Today, males get to naturally spread their seed and – as a true bonus – get a guilt-free conscience and total pass from a Feminist Society. Who feels guilty about dumping a drunken Sloppopotamus with a foul mouth – who bragged to you at the bar she slept with fifty other males?
You know, this, uh, “Sloppopotamus,” is probably not interested in having a long-term relationship with you either. I mean, come on, who the fuck would want to spend more than a few minutes in your presence?
Abuse the bad ones; treat them like condoms. Cherish the good ones.
Somehow I suspect that being “cherished” by Firepower would be the even worse fate here.
And protip: Hawaii and Alaska are 90000 zip codes, too.
This did not happen ex nihilo, a certain political moment of police accountability came to an end a few years ago (and not for nothing is it tied to Bratton, and a similar process of the ending of police accountability in NYC) and this was the foreseeable fallout.
Ugh, Euorsabra. I’m sorry he’s sleazing up y’alls general area.
Eurosabra, shut the fuck up and go away. No one cares what you think about anything.
It was meant as a reply to blitzgal, an explanation of why community pressure on the LAPD is hamstrung, mainly because the mayor’s and DA’s offices see it as belonging to a political moment which is now over, even if extensive abuses remain.
In the 1990s, I did some support work on anti-police abuse stuff, mostly fundraising. (Working with this guy.) Bothers me to see someone who (a) knows nothing, and (b) is a creepy PUA spouting about something decent people are still working hard on.
Creepy PUA dude, don’t try to “explain” something you know nothing about.
Did he really? Oi…
blitzgal: I didn’t even want to go into the problems with how he’s dealing with it. Not least; even if we were to accept, arguendo, that deadly force was needed to purge the LAPD, he shot at least two non-LAPD cops.
I’m not one who is, categorically against violence (I was, after all, a soldier), but if one needs to do what he says he needs to do, it has to be tailored, and targeted. His isn’t.
As a rule, barring a gov’t/PD actually engaging in systematic repression (of a nature much more severe than the stop and frisk, or the casual institutional racism of the LAPD; both of which I condemn, and anathematise) shooting them isn’t going to fix a thing.
In fact enraging the LAPD is probably the worst possible way to reduce police brutality (both since they’re using indiscriminate violence in the manhunt, and since it will probably increase unit cohesion and their sense of moral imperative).
More on the shooting of the unarmed women. The women received “no commands, no instructions and no opportunity to surrender.” Also, it wasn’t the only shooting that morning:
It’s like they think it’s the TRUCKS they have to find and kill.
Talk about pissing off the LAPD. The man I worked with (linked above — Michael Zinzun) did this for years WITHOUT SHOOTING ANYBODY, and had the injuries to prove it. It’s actually kind of amazing that he died a peaceful death in his own bed. He had some terrifying stories to tell about his encounters with the LAPD over the years.
This reminds me yet again about how MRAs are such fragile little flowers. Can you imagine someone like JohntheOtter going through even half of what activists against police brutality went through?
BTW, the truck has been found, so the good news is that blue truck drivers are probably safe from getting randomly fired on.
The bad news is that now the cops don’t know what/if he’s driving, so they might just open fire on anybody.
Minor comment, but the only police this tourist has ever been nervous of seeing around were the LAPD.
Kittehs’ that just shows your good judgment. Watch how they treated a totally peaceful march:
I’d heard enough about them to be nervous, partly through the news here but mostly through my bff, who’s a WoC living in LA. We never saw any cops close up, but seeing a car when we were driving somewhere was unnerving. I have never felt that way about cops in Melbourne. They’re not exactly squeaky-clean (what police force is?) but I’ve never for a moment thought there could be any danger from them. That may be partly white privilege, but the contrast with how I felt knowing the LAPD’s reputation … holy hell.
Fuck the LAPD. Not only are they racist and horrible in general, but my friend’s abusive ex is LAPD, and there’s a man who deserves every bad thing that ever comes his way. A certain mentality is found in abusers and cops.
All of Calif (an area the size of GB, or Iraq) is in the 90000 series. I think so too are Oregon and Wash. So we can add that to eurosabra’s failure in critical thinking (along with his willingness to lie to people and, “mildly” gaslight them; just to get what he wants).
Jesus. Do you guys think I’ll be safe from the cops riding the MTA in the San Fernando Valley? I still have to get home from work…
Yeah, Seattle’s in the 90000 zip code series.
I’ve never felt excessively nervous about the LAPD. It may be that I’ve been in/around LA for most of my life. They make me more nervous than SFPD, less than the cops in Irvine (that’s a scary town. I know white people who have been pulled over for walking). NYPD (and to a lesser extent Jersey City, and Port Authority) make me more nervous.
That’s because both are far more willing to arrest one than the LAPD. They also have a more formalised (and so legal) policy of harassment. Getting caught without state issued ID in NY pretty much means getting arrested. I had a customer tell me he won’t take his trash to the curb, or get his paper, without making sure he has his wallet.
He’s white.
Seattle PD was relatively benign, but the cops here in Austin are a bunch of authority humping peckerwoods. They’re everywhere and they’re assholes. Don’t even get me started on the braindead pack of guys who couldn’t get mall cops gigs known as the “Downtown Rangers.”
It’s not that I trust cops… I don’t. It’s more likely I understand the LAPD in a more complete way.
Cloudiah, what has been a success in police reform since the May Day protests? What actual outside monitoring since the consent decree was lifted?
Shut up, Eurosabra.
I’m not interested in getting into a discussion with a creepy PUA.
I’ve been scared of the LAPD ever since they nearly shot a friend of mine in high school for the crime of riding in a car with a white girl. (He’s African American.)
