A writer from Roosh Valizadeh’s terrible Return of Kings site recently got himself into a bit of trouble at a white power convention in Tennessee.
The problem wasn’t that the writer, one Blair Naso, didn’t fit in with the motley assortment of Hitler-lovers and former National Review writers who attended the 2015 American Renaissance conference, put on by an organization that actually has won itself an official “hate group” designation from the Southern Poverty Law Center for its virulent racism and its obsessive advocacy for a white “homeland.”
No, he fit in fine, ideologically speaking. In a post for Return of Kings, Naso praised the AmRen crowd for “doing a wonderful work,” and “saying the things that others are terrified to say.”
The problem? Well, Mr. Naso got a wee bit drunk and started harassing women at a local bar. As Naso sheepishly admits in his ROK post,
On the first night, I got very drunk. If I were wise, I would have gone to bed after the speakers, but instead I went to a nearby bar with the other guys. I went around asking girls to dance, because I wanted to use the swing lessons I had taken. All of them rejected me, because no girl likes an obnoxious wasted guy.
A few young girls were being especially snarky. I knew they wouldn’t dance with me, but I decided to ruin their night anyway. I go up to them and say, “You’re fat, and I’m balding. Let’s dance.” They kept saying no, and I kept asking them, just to piss them off. One pushed me, and I pushed her back, and then the bouncer literally threw me out of the bar.
Another conference attendee, Matt Parrott of something called the “Traditionalist Youth Network,” tells a similar story of Naso’s misadventures.
Here I was at the bar … when I felt pushed by a nearby scuffle and saw the short, balding, swarthy guy [Naso] being physically thrown, black-and-white Western-style, out of the bar.
Parrott ran outside to try to cool Naso off, sitting beside him on the grass while Naso went on about “how the girl was fat and had no right to reject his advances.”
We kept him off of the property and got him back to the conference safely, then spent the next hour or so effusively apologizing for him, buying the girls drinks right and left, and promising the locals we would avenge their girl in short order.
As Parrott evidently sees it, Naso’s actions don’t necessarily reflect badly on the white race, “since the guy’s (arguably) not exactly white.”
Naso, for his part, insists that despite his “olive complexion” he has a “largely Scottish background.”
White Supremacy sure is complicated, huh?
Parrott was much more impressed with Naso’s traveling companion (and Return of Kings colleague) Matt Forney, who also attended the event. In Parrott’s estimation, Forney was the Gallant to Naso’s Goofus.
Forney thoughtfully argued his anti-feminist and male-empowering positions until he was too drunk to thoughtfully argue. Meanwhile, his fellow attendee boorishly irritated both male and female attendees alike until he was too drunk to contain his frustration about women and pushed one of the local girls at the nearby bar.
It certainly sounds like a glorious moment in the history of the white race.
In any case, Naso’s post on the conference is, he says, his swan song to the Manosphere. In a post on his own blog, he declares that
I’m quitting the Manosphere and will very likely not return, because it’s been exacerbating some personal demons in my life for the last several months, which I won’t go into detail here with a sob story.
It would seem like this is a product of the fiasco at AmRen, but that would be a wrong assumption. AmRen at the very most only moved it up by a few weeks, if even that. This has been coming for a while, and it takes more than a few dorks who live on the internet to make me quit.
Also leading to his decision: his horror at discovering evil feminists like … Lindy West.
I could have gone my whole life without being exposed to Jessica Valenti and Lindy West. We are writing against some truly vile and empty human beings on a very deep level of the soul, regardless of their actions. I think any man or woman who is exposed to mainstream feminism long enough will lose some part of himself, no matter what his reaction.
Poor fella! As Lindy’s Twitter bio asks:
WHY FAT LADY SO MEAN TO BABY MEN
Why, Lindy, why?
P.S. If any of you have any doubt that a large number of the readers of Return of Kings are completely awful Stormfront-style racist assholes, take a look at the comments on Naso’s ROK post. Yow.
This is how I imagine every negging alpha “maintaining frame.” They fool themselves that they’re just joking around, trolling, whatever. (Not very) Deep down they’re deadly serious and incredibly miserable.
It’s interesting that this guy acted so badly that his compatriots felt obliged to buy the people he’d offended drinks. How bad must this guy’s behaviour have been to not only make his pals feel obliged to do so, but to have been LITERALLY thrown out? I mean, when MATT FORNEY is the one looking good in comparison…

It’s hard to see through all these tears.
You guuuuys! He can’t take it anymore. It’s…*sniff*…so tough being a hateful shit show on the internet. You might not believe this, but raving about what a bigot you are with other bigots every chance you get is not the happiest way to live one’s life. Often, the women you try to terrorize off the internet just laugh at you. Mean ‘ol fat ladies won’t touch his wiener, no matter how worthless he tells them they are. Even racists don’t appreciate him. He’s got it pretty tough, poor fella.
It’s so sad I could almost sing about it in falsetto while I strum a lute.
Writes the guy who got thrown out of a bar for harrassing women after attending a white power rally.
You can’t make this shit up.
“We are writing against some truly vile and empty human beings on a very deep level of the soul, regardless of their actions.”
Same.
Wow.. Naso has demonstrated something I never thought I’d think existed.. a MRA with more than one dimension!
I mean one who is blaming his poor choices on something other than feminism (well, OK _in addition to_ feminism. But still… I’ve only ever seen them blame feminism exclusively. )
oh man, it’s been a while since I’ve heard about the Traditionalist Youth Network, which Matthew Heimbach’s Towson University White Student Union morphed into. I changed careers and now attend TU and I’m not gonna lie- I wish I was there to see it fail.
Here’s a “great” example of his antics.

First Comment: “I adore traditional European cultures and find them in all ways superior to every other set of cultures on the planet, bar none.”
What?
No.
What?
What the hell does this part even mean? That it doesn’t matter what a person actually does, it’s what’s on the inside that counts? Yeah, not going to fly. One of the biggest problems with humanity is, IMO, that abusers feel justified in doing what they do, so they feel that their actions, the things they actually do, don’t count. After all, their victims probably deserved it, since they are bad people, regardless of their actions.
Nope, there is no moment when being an insufferable douchenozzle to someone you think deserves it is ever going to be okay, since it’s the act of insufferable douchenozzlery itself that is the problem, not who’s the one doing the insufferable douchenozzlery. It’s not who you are underneath, but what you do that defines you.
So there.
Any woman… will lose some part of himself. Thanks for mentioning women as an afterthought, asshole. Not that the thing you said isn’t already bullshit in itself, but the “the default human is a man” aspect is certainly a nice touch.
God, you can almost hypothetically see hope for him getting over his personal issues and the way he projects them onto a whole gender.
It’s not self-awareness, but it’s closer than most of them get.
In ROKland, being a feminist is much worse than being a white supremacist. And then the manosphere wonders why everybody else thinks they’re a bunch of hateful bigots.
Except that they’re not wondering, they’re blaming it on a feminist conspiracy or something. Because they think there’s nothing wrong with hating most people, but advocating for any kind of equality is pure corruption, somehow.
Wuuut, the echo chamber of hate that is the manosphere exacerbates his real world problems with the ladies? You don’t say!
I’d look at the comments on that ROK post, but after reading what Scalzi and Sandifer had to say about the Rabid Puppies, I’m all Nazi’d out.
Plus I never go read the comments.
@Fnoicby If only that were true. Here he seems to be blaming feminism and dropping out because the horrors he confronts in feminism as part of the manosphere are making him worse.
It’s like feminism is an occult, eldritch horror beyond their understanding and contact with it drains their sanity.
Holy shit, based on how they act, maybe it is true for them! They really don’t understand and questioning their entitlement shakes the foundational assumptions they have.
opium4themasses:
Well, both Yog-Sothoth and Cthulhu are feminists.
So close…. So close to self-awareness….
….but thank god he tamped that self-awareness down before it started to interfere with his social skills.
Wait, I thought it was penises that took things away from women.
Yes, I’m sure he sounded exactly like William F. Buckley until that 12th shot of bourbon.
To paraphrase Garth Ennis’s Preacher (because I don’t have the quote on hand right now): Why are the self-appointed defenders of the White Race always the worst example of it?
Welcome to the One-Drop Rule. Don’t worry, pretty much everyone else is here, too. Especially the ones who are convinced they aren’t.
@sparky There is truly nothing new under the sun. Those are awesome. Thanks for the link.
This could be interpreted in a semi-charitable way. Hanging out, online or off, with nothing but hateful fucks is emotionally and physically draining and psychologically harmful, even if one is a hateful fuck oneself. Maybe he’s realized this and has decided to disconnect from the (other) hateful fucks for his own mental health.
There is a small but nonzero possibility that, after having ceased to immerse himself in hateful fuckery, he will realize that all that bullshit he believed when he was hearing nothing but bullshit all the time is not as valid as he’d once thought.
That’s probably not what this actually meant, but one can hope.
The silver lining in all this is that a PUA finally gave us an honest account of what happens when they “run game.” We all knew being called names and having our personal space violated by some creepy asshole doesn’t turn us on. But finally one of them admitted it.
Of course, he flounced from the manosphere so they’ll probably no true Scotsman him. I mean, those stupid fat bar patrons probably only rejected the advances of a creepy drunk white supremacist because they had their easily confused lady brains befuddled by the evil mind control rays of Jessica Valenti and Lindy West. Otherwise, how could any woman turn down such a catch?
David Futrelle,
Roosh Valizadeh? Is that the same Roosh as this guy, that youtuber King Jon Targaryen I power owned to death awhile back?
Roosh The Racist
Those comments are terrible, but I’m glad I looked because Naso’s thoughts on college football are pretty hilarious.
When the White Nationalist calls you “swarthy,” you can assume you’re not wanted in his little hate club.
“… They’ll probably No True Scotsman him…”
But he says right there that he’s largely of Scottish ancestry!
