Today I’m feeling lazy, so I’m just going to pass along some thoughts from Mark Minter, a fellow best known, insofar as he is known, for leaving melodramatic manospherian manifestos – look, three “m’s” in a row! — in other people’s comments sections. I’ve written about him before — twice! — and he’s recently returned to his old habit of leaving his droppings in the comments here.
This little masterpiece of purplish prose, however, was left in the comments section of Roosh V’s Return of Kings blog (and brought to my attention by a commenter here), where he gets a much friendlier reception than he gets in these parts. His topic: Returning to the United States after spending time abroad. (I’ve cut out big chunks of his comments, as Minty is a tad long-winded.)
I have been back 3 years and I do not seek to engage America in any way. I stay home, on the internet. I shop in the middle of the night for food. When I must be out in the day, I move quickly, efficiently. I interact little with this society that I am no longer a part of. Some of that is age but a lot of is that I have killed my American self and I feel no affection for it, no loyalty to it, and I shall discard it forever, soon. The only connection is feel to it is you, you band of renegade rebels to whom I feel a kindred spirit.
We few, we happy few, we band of douchebags!
Despite the claims of feminists, America is the Matriarchy, the land owned and dominated by women and their mangina menservants, their guards, their infrastructure that so caters to them, their laws.
Yes, it’s true. Along with its mangina manservants — hi, everybody! — America has a Matriarchal Infrastructure. For example, this power plant, located just outside Dacron, Ohio, is devoted entirely to providing electricity for women’s Hitachi Magic Wands.
Anyway, back to Mark’s riveting ruminations:
You see it when upon landing in America. In other places, immigration is almost a “lip service”, a gang of sorts to get money from you when you arrive and when you leave. The security you must pass, when entering. is almost a joke compared to what you encounter when you arrive in America. And it is far greater when you leave, those airlines and airport security forces have a procedure that is not so much that the idea of the country you are leaving, but rather the dictates of America, and its women.
Clearly, only women want border security. If it were up to men, anyone could just waltz in no questions asked, carrying bombs, heroin, large snakes, strange insects, bootleg t.A.T.u. CDs, what have you.
And here you are not a man, but a functionary, a manservant, a slave to women. You see it when you arrive, you feel it, you know it, that stripping of your masculine dignity that begins the moment you leave the plane and enter an American terminal, that herding, that loss of the you that is you. And you see it as you come out on these clean, lit streets, this great giant boring shopping mall, all designed for women, all policed for women, all at the behest of women and those manginas that have bought in … .
Damn you, America and your good lighting! Fuck you and your infernal lack of litter!
It is more than merely cultural, more than social, it is even biological. This matriarchy has dominated even nature here, controlled every last aspect, even the dirt, even the germs, all of the animals, and certainly, all of the men.
It’s true. ALL OF THE ANIMALS. Even my cats are women. Spoiled, pampered women who expect everything handed to them on a silver platter!
Well, not so much a silver platter as little paper plates. Also, I make them poop in a box. But you get the idea.
If you stay, you will remain in angst, a slave to women.
When I close my eyes the image I see is elsewhere.
Weird. I see the completely unilluminated inside of my eyelids, which is not a terribly interesting view.
And when I die, the fact I got to live elsewhere for a time, will dwarf what I feel about here. It is the basis of my rants about marriage and this American life as a married man being insipid, stupid, and a waste of the life of man. Because it ties you to here, it chains you, it removes your option, your hope, that you might leave, and seals your fate as a slave.
So, I guess … don’t get married then? Problem solved!
I don’t think the women of Matriarchal America are going to miss out greatly from you removing yourself from the marriage market. So, seriously, go right ahead.
NOTE: There is no Dacron, Ohio.
That would be brilliant! Total counterpoint to all their whining.
@kitteh serf
okay, somehow my brain misread that to “he has been divorced for 10 years” not “we”
I still do not like the resorting to ableism
I’m pretty sure it really is Mark Minter’s ex; her info checks out.
If you’re still reading, S. Minter, no one here ever believed a word he said about anything.
Seconding this!
S. Minter — to clarify Fade’s complaint about the ableism, I’m sure he’s a bitter selfish asshole, but some of us around here are actually mentally I’ll and not bitter selfish assholes. And nobody wants to be lumped in with him!
Don’t remember where I heard it now, but if you want to know someone, ask their divorced spouse. Thanks for the reality check on yours!
hellkell — how serious a relationship? Because if we include every one night stand a PUA failed at…that’d be literally epic. As in, as long as a classical epic. All 17 years lost at sea and everything *is referencing the Odyssey if that wasn’t clear*
Or an Icelandic saga, set in the frozen wastes of a PUA’s heart!
Yes, I really am his ex wife. Thank you for your replies. I am sure this will make it’s way around the web.
I am sad for my children when they day comes and they do a Google search on ther father whom they have not seen in several years, and start reading.
And BTW, my son and I get along great, plus he and his step brother get along great. Despite Mark’s bullshit claims, I NEVER pushed my kids out of the way for a “new man”. We, like millions of other families, just try to make the new blended family work.
s minter: wow, all the sympathies for dealing with that toolbag.
How do we really know S. Minter is his ex? Like are we sure she isn’t a troll? (She doesn’t seem at all like one IMO, but we still should be sure).
S. Minter, given that you’re not, I’m sorry you have to deal with such a scumbag. I wonder how his sister puts up with him.
Auggie–did you read David’s comment above?
What was the info? Did he mean that there’s nothing that contradicts the fact that she’s his ex, or that there is proof of it?
I don’t want to out her (though her comment makes her sounds like she doesn’t worry too much about that), but she wasn’t hard to find on various social media sites. If we’re really concerned about it, someone could shoot her a message on FB or whatever to confirm it’s here.
I’m willing to take her at her word, but that might be mainly because her story conforms so closely to what I expect to be the real story for most of these dudes.
“to confirm it’s her.” Oops.
Yeah same here, I just wanted to make sure, since there are a few trolls who might do that for shits and giggles.
This is my last post on this because something tells me it will do. I am from oyster bay, Long Island if you look at my FB page. I read one of mark’s rants naming me by name and location. That is what pushed me over the edge.
I met mark in 1982 at UT Austin. We got married in 1987. We moved to boulder in 1992 Our kids were born in 1994 and 1998 and we split up shortly thereafter in 1999. Mark moved around between Atlanta, boulder and South America after that. He came back to the states about 6 yrs ago and got laid off from his last job. About 4.5 yrs ago he moved back to Austin to live with his sister as he ran out of money. Given his charming, sociable personality, you might understand how it has been difficult for him to recover in the new economy.
The web is wide and I am sure that anyone can do the slightest bit of digging to confirm these facts. I need to protect my kids so this is more than enough information.
Plus, seriously, who the hell would lay claim to this disaster if it were not true?
As I read some of his rantings I was seriously saddened. Mark is brilliant, one of the most academic and intellectual people I have ever known. His writing style can be amazing and it is such a waste that the content is such crap. He is lost and alone and has no interaction with the “real” world anymore. He has found a voice and audience on the web that he could never interact with in person. I am sad that this is the message he chose to broadcast and sorry for my children.
That’s it. Thanks.
Dave, please check the user name on this again after I post it. TY
@S Minter
The funny thing is, that’s how a lot of MRAs and PUAs are. Their writing is fancy but their messages are appalling.
In spite of your typical expected high school girl like rant, everything he said was right.He might as well beat his head against a wall though, as you will never understand what he’s saying (like describing the color purple to some who’s colorblind), and if you could understand, you would use every bit of will power you have to deny it.
Thank you for that thoughtful, incisive comment, J. Unfortunately, the hivemind has considered your comment, and rejected it. If you return to necro this thread, we will absorb you into the borg.
OH HAI!
@J, There was literally nothing important, clever, or new in that comment. Just some cliche stuff you hear from 15 year olds.
Mark Minter is getting married to a commentator named Kate he met on the Manosphere. It’s on the Chateau Heartiste website today.
Here is the link to the engagement news:
http://heartiste.wordpress.com/2013/07/26/did-commenter-kate-meet-her-fiance-at-chateau-heartiste/.
Sunshine Mary is claiming she helped set them up on her blog today.
Physically impossible – Mark lives in his sister’s spare bedroom and has not worked in 5 years. I hope it is true – if some crazy person is willing to marry him the IRS will take him down. I cant get child support but he owes the IRS tens of thousands in back taxes and interest.
Why can’t you get the child support
THIS IS FASCINATING
