These are strange times indeed in the imaginary world inside Davis Aurini’s bald head.
Last week, the failed filmmaker and white nationalist (on paper) posted a response, of sorts, to the Orlando massacre that tells us very little about the tragic event itself — but quite a bit about Davis Aurini, including his exceedingly creepy thoughts on the sexual fantasies of teenage girls.
As you might imagine, the bald bigot has little sympathy for the mostly gay victims of the massacre — he describes them, in present tense, as “a group who predominantly work against our interests.” But he still wishes he could have been there to shoot the shooter himself, because “pragmatic, honourable, loving, and rule-following wolves” like himself “do not tolerate people who break the rules.”
Apparently the problem with Omar Mateen wasn’t so much that he murdered 49 people but that he broke some rules in the process. I shudder to think what Aurini thinks the penalty should be for jaywalking, or peeking at someone else’s cards while playing Go Fish.
So that’s strange enough. But what’s this thing about “rule-following wolves?”
Aurini is drawing on a notion — explicated in detail in Anonymous Conservative’s book The Evolutionary Psychology Behind Politics and promoted heavily by far-right “thinkers” like Vox Day — that conservatives are steely “K-selected” reproducers well-suited for harsh environments while liberals are a bunch of irresponsible, resource-guzzling “r-selected” losers who practice free love and single motherhood.
Or, in furrier terms: Liberals are rule-bending rabbits, while conservatives are wolves who “prefer explicit hierarchies and distinct rules.”
Brace yourself, fellow rabbits, because we’re about to go deep into the mind of Aurini.
“The morals of a Liberal,” he declares, “are the morals of a prey animal; cowardice, treachery, appeasement, irresponsibility, crowding.”
Crowding?
They promote social chaos so as to hide themselves in its milieu. When society has no clearly defined boundaries, or families, or communities, then it has no customs or rules. The Liberal is able to seek out their immediate benefit without censure or consequence – aside from the natural consequences of Mother Nature and the Gods of the Marketplace – but by the time the collapse occurs, they will have out-bred and cheated their way into dominance of the genome. They’ll have the most iligitimate children, they’ll form the bulk of the mob, and though many of them will be culled once winters hit, their genome will survive.
Fascinating, though completely wrong. Conservatives actually have about 40 percent more children than liberals, according to a 2006 study that seems to be backed up by voting preferences in presidential elections. As Amanda Marcotte notes in Slate:
Higher fertility in red states … is the product of the societal pressure on women there to marry young, have more children, and put less of their energy into developing careers. In blue states, on the other hand, women tend to limit their family size and have kids later in life. …
But don’t buy the conservative hype linking ideology to family stability. Red states have higher incidences of teen births and divorce … .
Let’s ignore the fact that Aurini’s rickety theoretical framework is totally and completely wrong in every way it could possibly be wrong, and let him explain more about the rabbits.
“The only emotions I’ve ever seen them display are lust and terror,” Aurini writes.
The rabbit – upon suffering abuse, violence, and threat – this is the closest they ever come to feeling love.
I really, really, really hope that Aurini has never had actual pet rabbits.
He continues, getting creepier by the sentence:
Their terror morphs into something that’s downright spiritual – a spirituality that’s utterly demonic – and they find the same catharsis in Islamic murderers as they do in bug chasing and sharing their wives. The overwhelming fear snaps their amygdala, and for the first time in their life they are at peace.
Apparently us liberals are all murder-loving, AIDS-wanting wife swappers?
The rabbits love the pedophile, the single mother, the graffiti artist, the tyrant, and the drug addict; of course they’ll love the terrorist.
I spoke too soon! Apparently we liberals are single-mother enabling, tyrant-obeying, drug-addict coddling, murder-loving, terrorist adoring, AIDS-wanting, wife swapping, pedophile-phile graffiti art enthusiasts.
And I haven’t even gotten to the bit about the sexual fantasies of teenage girls. Brace yourself again, dear readers, because, well, this is Davis Aurini writing about what he thinks are the sexual fantasies of teenage girls.
Raised on narcissism, solipsism, and social media, your average girl graduating High School has been inundated with images of American Soldiers marching in cherry-red high-heeled shoes; of weak White men bowing down before the dictates of the diversity crowd.
The red shoes bit, in case you’re wondering, is a reference to the fact that last year several college ROTC programs encouraged (or forced, depending on whose account you believe) male cadets to participate in a Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event during Sexual Assault Awareness month.
And you gotta love the capital “W” for “white.”
Aurini — *shudder* — continues:
Her erotic fantasies have been focused on pretty-boy homosexuals and yaoi porn, and having never suffered any adversity in her life, she cannot begin to fathom the threat that exists.
Oh, but it gets worse:
Compare her mental image of Western masculinity to that of the the Orlando shooter – the Boston Bombers – the Paris attackers – or the jihadis who behead innocents: instead of graduating from pretty-boy Luke Skywalker to bad-boy Han Solo, her first tingles will happen when she matures beyond the safe sexuality of anime characters to the blood-dripping blade of a third-world savage.
Even if we set aside from the odd (and oddly dated) Star Wars reference — I’m pretty sure that very few teenage girls in the US today have posters of Mark Hamill hanging over their bed — this is almost incomprehensible.
Is Aurini really suggesting that teenage girls — or young women, or older women, or even Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford — are getting off on videos of terrorists beheading people?
Who the hell knows. What we do know, though, is that Davis Aurini is getting off on the idea of killing a whole bunch of Muslims. He ends his post with this chilling declaration:
Our mission as Men of the West – as men of God, of Civilization, of Honour, and Beauty – is to take upon ourselves the task of building ourselves up so that we might rebuild civilization. To reclaim the potency and virility of the Crusading Knight, and to be prepared at all times to fight these heretics and give them an ignoble death. …
If we are to die, let us die as heroes, slaughtering the forces of darkness that are railed against us. Pray for the strength of ten men during your final hour, because one of us is worth a hundred of them.
Wrong again. Davis Aurini isn’t even worth a cat poop.
If you watched any of his videos, you’d know he doesn’t actually seem to drink. He apparently just likes to sit around with a glass of something that looks vaguely alcoholic so he can appear to be more “gentlemanly” or something.
It is often fun how much these guys fly in the face of biology.
Its like, just because you have a base assumption about how the world is doesn’t make it true. You cant just make some bullshit up.
Uh… you shouldn’t be one to talk about others not feeling love dude.
I’m failing to see how rabbits are doing survival wrong compared to wolves. I’ve never seen a wolf anywhere but the zoo. There are so many rabbits in my neighborhood that I see them almost daily in the warm weather months. And I live in a city.
I swear Aurini is projecting his own practically-sexual fantasies of violence onto teenage girls…
Does he really not understand that Islamic extremists also see themselves as crusaders of God fighting to reclaim a broken world from invaders and heretics?
It’s like a literal version of that Savages song where both sides are dehumanizing the other, but neither side is sympathetic.
@guest
Folks, I present to you: bug-chasing
Purposely seeking to have sex with HIV-positive people, either to contract the disease or for thrills.
Boy I’m glad I googled that… x_x
This is not how biology works. If he’s so obsessed with sex, why not bacterium or insects, you know the most successful families of animals on the planet?
@Kirbywarp Fuuuuuukk I wish I hadn’t asked now.
Ha! She does sound like Coulter at first, but there are some differences, such as apparently never supporting Donald Trump (I was told she disliked every single well-known candidate).
When you know someone this unbelievable you just have to share the details. I mean, he doesn’t tell me about the other roleplayers since their fantasies aren’t horrifyingly misogynistic and racist nor do they scream reactionary political beliefs in the forums. It’s a game we have, telling stories about the most bizarre people we encounter. He’s got me beat since the best I had in recent memory was a sickeningly jolly MRA libertarian gun fetishist with a fixation on gangsters and mercenaries, and I won’t be seeing him again at all.
The crusades are not something to be emulated. Sure, they were a time of great spiritual growth and reform in Christendom, though blood-tinged like everything in the Middle Ages, but the only “success” with which they met was the decision of the Church to crusade inward instead, against one’s own sins. Calling people to reclaim the values of those who fought in the crusades is like calling them to reclaim the values of those who fought in the Peloponnesian War: I mean, there’s probably something worthy to be found there, but why bother?
Oh wait, it’s about feeling good when you kill brown people. My bad!
What … what did I just read? This whole thing was so disturbing on so many different levels. UGH. No more internet for tonight. :/ By the way, there have been a number of new studies on wolves that show that they aren’t as hierarchical as previously thought. There is no “alpha male.” There are only families. Google “Why Everything You Know About Wolf Packs Is Wrong” for an interesting read. I’m sick of these knuckle draggers using wolves in their bullshit pseudoscience.
THIS
“Oh wait, it’s about feeling good when you kill brown people. My bad!”
That is completely unfair, the crusades also killed lots of white religious minorities (Jews, Cathars, Waldensians, Pagans, East Orthodox, etc) and I’m sure he wants to kill them too.
Emma,
There was a thread about that subject a few years ago here and it gets necro’d just constantly. A lot of dudes really, really don’t want to let go of those alpha wolf theories.
Remind me again: to which branch of the armed services does this heroic warrior belong?
Sometimes, when reading a screed like this, I wonder whether it’s a kind of RPG. Does a conservative, reading this, consciously set aside their knowledge of how the real world works, and, for a few minutes, enjoy pretending that the Auriniverse is real? I mean, look at this:
That’s a bald-faced lie. Here are some other emotions Aurini has witnessed from liberals reacting to him: amusement, disgust, anger, and pity. His followers also probably encounter those a lot. The line is an obvious lie. It only works if at that point you’re thinking of “them” as not human. Which is a useful thing to do if you’re planning genocide… but most people aren’t. So, RPG? A comforting retreat from the messy real world for a few minutes?
Yeah, I tried to read that but my brain was just like nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nopedy nope.
The thing that I find so fascinating about Aurini isn’t the man himself – nobody is less interesting – but the fact that he consistently manages to get an audience for this drivel.
Nothing he’s saying is a deep insight, and that’s by design. There is no novelty here. Aurini doesn’t stop to explain anything: he assumes that his readers are conversant with r-vs-K reproductive strategies, that they buy into the concept of a “rule abiding wolf” and that they think of teenage girls simultaneously as scum and also as something worth fighting for.
This isn’t an attempt to educate or to persuade. It’s just the repetition of a handful of accepted ideas back to people in the hope of providing gratification. It’s an attempt to press as many emotional buttons as possible whilst dodging anything which may be new or unfamiliar. This is pornography.
@reimalebario
Whoa! That article about the young woman from Sweden who joined the Kurds to fight ISIS was breathtaking.

Aurini wishes he was there to stop the shooter? What would he be doing in a “degenerate” nightclub in the first place?
Too many of these twits read the beyond-over-the-top writing style of Games Workshop and took it as a good guide to real writing.
Guys that shit is the height of silly, it’s intentionally so, stop taking it at face value.
and what’s with the British spelling of “honor”? Not the scariest part of his article, but still…
Also “Gods of the Marketplace” made me lol.
What gods of the marketplace? You mean the government? Because the market doesn’t exist without the armed enforcement of property rights, contracts and a system of widely recognised currency bucko.
Markets are a highly artificial state of affairs that ideally seek to bend individual greed to the common good. They are not some natural formation.
These dorks have no imagination for a state of affairs beyond the status quo they were born into.
@weirdwoodtreehugger : in fact, in term of survival fitness, both wolves and rabbits do pretty damn well, and as long as people don’t actually hunt it, wolves spread pretty fast.
Of course, wolves can also be a threat to human relatively quickly, and they have the reputation of doing a number to herd (which is wrong usually). So they are a bit more likely to be culled than rabbits, which is a clear evolution fail.
And, also of course, wolves don’t behave anywhere near like thoses guys think they do. In particular, wolves are opportunistic and often eat carrion. And they are pragmatic and can adapt to just about any strange hierarchical structure if it mean they can eat more easily. And they don’t invest heavily on a small number of descendant, but do quite a bit of them and see who survive. It’s less pronunced than for rabbits, but rabbits don’t hold a candle either to the try “fire and forget” reproducers like fishs and jellyfishes.
If anyone is prey, it’s the right-wing suckers who get conned into buying gold, donating to Davis Aurini
