For more proof that bigotries flock together, let’s take a look at some tweets the always despicable Matt Forney made today after learning of the death of Nelson Mandela:
My Christmas wish came true! Nelson Mandela is dead! I BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS! #burninhell #communistshitstain

I'm going to start posting statistical evidence of how Nelson Mandela destroyed South Africa. Any neoreactionary Tweeps wanna join in?

His “statistical evidence” of an alleged “white genocide” in South Africa? A page that links to a curious document full of unsourced claims and hysterical language, and which refers to South Africa’s former apartheid system as “so-called apartheid.” (It’s a pdf; TRIGGER WARNING for gruesome pictures of murder victims.)
Here’s a piece from Africa Check debunking similar claims of a “white genocide” in South Africa.
Forney’s “statistical evidence” that life was better for everyone under apartheid comes from a publication called “The New Observer.” To get an idea of what sort of publication this is, here are some of the top stories on the site at the moment:
- Liberals Aghast as US’s “25 Most Dangerous Neighborhoods” All Happen to be Black
- The Extermination of Whites in Europe: “We Are the Last 3 German Children in Our School.”
- If White Americans Don’t Start Having Babies Now, the US Will Vanish by 2100
Here’s another Africa Check piece that takes on widely disseminated Facebook post that also claims things were better under apartheid.
Forney’s “statistical evidence” that “[u]nder Nelson Mandela and his successors, South Africa became the rape capital of the world” is a link to an article in World Net Daily about a single serial rapist in South Africa. There are no statistics in it.
While it’s a bit ironic to see Forney — an admitted girlfriend-abuser who once wrote that “[w]omen should be terrorized by their men [because] it’s the only thing that makes them behave better than chimps” — grandstanding about violence against women, it’s actually rather hard to track down reliable statistics about rape in South Africa, much less statistics about rape during apartheid, because back then the white authorities didn’t exactly give a shit about black victims of rape.
Many of those who’ve studied the culture of rape in South Africa argue that the country’s history of apartheid made the problem far, far worse, engendering “an exaggerated culture of aggression and male dominance, among both black and white,” as one researcher has argued.
My favorite tweet of the bunch, though, is this one:
Fact: Nelson Mandela had almost nothing to do with ending apartheid, because he was in jail. He stole the credit from Tutu and de Klerk.

Yeah. Screw Anne Frank, too. All she did was sit around in that dumb attic.
Here’s “Free Nelson Mandela,” by the Special AKA. When it came out, I never believed it would ever come true.
RIP.
EDITED TO ADD: Thanks to @HamSushi on Twitter for pointing me to Forney’s lovely tweets!

All I can say is: good riddance.
That particular mall is a site of PUA pilgrimage, for there Owen “TylerDurden” Cooke honed his art in ancient times. The late 90s to Project Hollywood of 2003.
moldybred: I the only person who hears ‘Chicago’ and immediately thinks of the song in the movie Victor/Victoria?
I know the song, but I don’t think of it. On my list of things to do is see the original film Victor/Victoria was made from (A german film, from 1934).
Oh look who’s back. And trying to sound smart. Run along now Eurosabra.
Eurosabra’s still here? I thought he buggered off for clubs unknown ages ago.
Go the fuck away, Eurosabra.
The idea of PUAs conducting a pilgrimage to a mall is appropriately pathetic, though.
As the resident newbie, who is Eurosabra?
Alice, he’s a PUA who thinks “mild gaslighting” in order to get his dick web is a morally acceptable thing.
Sad bastard who turns up whenever we talk about anything PUA-related.
Ahhh.
Also, WTF, how is gaslighting acceptable, like ever? Abuse is not cool.
You should read that thread if someone can find it. It was a great guide to all the reasons why PUA gurus are despicable people.
Dick web is a wonderful typo. I’m thinking cobwebs from lack of use.
::snicker::
How does one get a dick web, anyways? Do you stick it in a spinneret, which just so happens to be a woman’s vagina? Do you fuck spiders (owww)? Do you bang on top of a coffin in a really old and abandoned tomb with hundreds of skulls staring at you? What?
I was thinking that Dick Web would be a good name for the part of the internet dedicated to porn.
Oops. Accidentally appropriate typos. XD
It could give a whole new meaning to that Dr Who story The Web of Fear.
Maybe it will revert back to it’s original name of Turtle Island?
Can’t help the image dudebros skittering back and forth to touch a female mannequin, in lieu of a Monolith.
That’s probably as close as any of ’em gets to touching a woman who doesn’t immediately back away or throw a drink in their faces.
So touching the computer screen displaying the image of a hot female doesn’t count? DAMN IT!
i hung out with a bunch a guys like this in my early twenties. they tried very very hard to be offensive and it got old fast.
