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.
@BitterSweet – That’s perfect. lol
So I guess he missed out on Singapore and its ferocious litter laws and trash cans of misandry during his world travels.
Well, to be fair, the government there has dipped its toe into matchmaking, which would make at least one MRA happy.
What a weirdly boring afterlife.
Ahhh Singapore. Lovely place, but the whole time I was there I just felt this really oppressive nature about it’s perfection. And that was when I was a teen, before I knew anything about the country.
Kiwi girl, great to see you posting again! How’ve you been?
Annabanana, welcome! Here’s your Official Manboobz Welcome Package, all bundled together for your convenience by cloudiah.
I can’t answer your question about whether WordPress is particularly MRA infested. My guess would be that mentioning feminism is enough to get trolls looking, but that’s all it is, a guess. I’ve never had haters on my blog, but they probably wouldn’t bother with it, because of the subject matter (and miniscule readership).
Do you have your comments set to go through moderation before posting? That’s about all I can think of at present. You can put the hater’s email address into the filter so at least it’ll be caught.
I’m not entirely sure this guy knows what “lip service” means. Or much at all.
My time there was a strange experience. I was working helping to set up a manufacturing line, so I spent a large portion of my time in a run-downish factory with people getting paid very little. And when the day was done it was back to a swank hotel and miles of underground shopping malls. It was disconcerting; this shiny, distracting gloss overlaying a darker reality. Spooky, but not nearly as disturbing as manufacturing in China. Now that was bad. Shudder…
I missed that, but yeah, that’s an … interesting … meaning he gives to lip service.
It’s probably a good thing he does only go out at night. Fewer people have to put up with him that way. (Can anyone see Mr Ninja Numpty Hero ever going to therapy? That would imply there’s something wrong with him or his ideas! Therapy is part of the gynocracy’s undermining of manly menz and manly bacteria!)
Matriarchy controls the dirt and the germs and the animals. This is obviously a metaphor, but for what I haven’t the foggiest.
@ Shadow
Seconded. It’s a weird, uncanny valley place. First time there I was maybe 10 or 11 and even then I was all, there’s something not quite right about this place. It’s like walking around in a Philip K Dick story, especially if you know what a majority-Chinese city should normally feel like.
Does the matriarchy control the clouds? Because I want to complain to someone if it does, it hasn’t been working properly for ages and I signed my membership papers all good and proper, in triplicate!
Was it a feeling of being watched, in Singapore – almost like Big Brother really was watching you?
@kittehserf
Damn, I missed nwoslave on fluoride. Did he find our about our chemtrail plots too?
The truth is that I feel Minty’s pain. He has to shield himself from constant hordes of sexy women trying to marry him behind his back. It must be alienating. (I don’t want to blame the victim, but all that efficient walking is lady catnip). I think we a should start a “keep Minty unmarried” charity to show our support (I might still have that furry fedora to donate for the cause).
Have you ever been to an ideal home exhibition? It’s kind of like that, crossed with a shopping mall with way too many security guards. On the surface very pretty, very wealthy, but this abiding sense that it’s not quite real. It feels like a sci-fi dystopia.
The whole time my Dad was working there he kept running off to Vietnam and Thailand every chance he got just to escape the weirdness.
Maude – I think a Keep Minty Unmarried charity is an excellent idea. Perhaps one of those, what are they, kickstarters? But no bitcoins.
“(I don’t want to blame the victim, but all that efficient walking is lady catnip).”
Memo to self: remind Sir to be very careful about when he chooses to walk efficiently.
Second memo to self: find out what efficient walking actually is.
Or, for anyone who’s been to Dubai – like that but even weirder, and you’re scared that if you accidentally step out of line you might be whisked off to a reeducation camp for people who litter.
It sounds like the robot theme park (like Westworld) set in a display home. Or a shiny-clean sunny tropics version of Blade Runner, if that isn’t too oxymoronic.
Probably the least sinister/dramatic way to describe it would be to imagine a whole city that feels like a shopping mall. Dubai at least has bits where you can step away from the fakey glitz (or it used to), but Singapore is just weird, especially once you realize all the exploited migrant labor that’s holding the whole thing afloat (so again, like Dubai).
The one positive thing I can say is that the food is great, so if you can switch off your brain it’s a good foodie destination.
That’s pretty much how I’d think of both places, actually – too much like huge shopping malls. They’re certainly not places I’d want to visit. Too much heat to go outside, for one thing!
But yeah, the less meta point is that if Minty thinks Asia is a giant sex playground where there are no rules? Try dropping a chewing gum wrapper in Singapore, see what happens. Or just take your trash out on the wrong day in Tokyo (failure to follow trash protocol is serious business).
If I was as evil as he thinks feminists are I’d try to sell him on the money making opportunities inherent in smuggling drugs in or out of Thailand.
CassandraSays – Hee. I explained my time in Singapore to a friend of mine as a daily exercise in not becoming an urban legend. On the plane over it was never-ending horror stories about draconian punishments and chewing gum bans, which we all brushed off… Until you realized everything was bright and shiny and regimented. We got much more hyper-vigilant about slips of paper and crossing the street.
It’s the shininess that bothers me, I think. I always end up walking around going “no real city looks like this”. It makes me WANT to litter, or commit some sort of minor act of anti-social behavior, just to break the feeling of artificial perfection – brings out my inner teenager big-time.
The affair of that boy who got caned for vandalizing cars in Singapore was a big disincentive to me to ever go there, not because vandalizing cars is a pastime for me, but because it seemed draconian, cruel and unusual.
But I guess I’m a soft Yankee who’d only have to face fines and a bit of prison time if I went tagging.
Also? Wikipedia says the strokes-for-graffiti law was passed in an effort to quell political graffiti. WAY BAD MAN.
At least they don’t go crazy once a year.
God, imagine how racist that would be, to replace all those white actors with Asians? Jesus.
