It’s not news that alt-right lawyer and juice enthusiast Mike Cernovich is a little, well, off.
Now he’s taken that weirdness to a whole new level with a post suggesting that he and other Trump supporters caused Hillary to get sick … with their minds. Or at least with their Tweets.
Life is about feeling the music rather than listening to the words. …
When you feel what I’m writing, when you look behind the text, you see something far deeper and more spiritual.
What if we caused sick Hillary to have her coughing fit?
What if we manifested her health problems?
Sound crazy? Then don’t look at the date of this Tweet.
Here’s the tweet that apparently gave Hillary pneumonia:

Cernovich then links to another post of his in which he explains how he made himself, like, the coolest dude on the Internet with the power of his imagination:
I imagined myself becoming the hottest journalist breaking the biggest stories. Then I went to Hungary to expose the media lies about “refugees.” I busted hoaxes, and then I faced down an angry mob of hundreds of people.
I imagined myself changing the culture through the power of my mind. Now I’m making films and my Twitter receives over 30 million views a month, and multiple stories have gone viral.
How do you imagine me?
You imagine me as I imagine myself.
My imagination manifests itself as will, which imposes itself on reality.
Hate to break it to you, dude, but I’m pretty sure most people who are even aware of your existence imagine you just a teensy bit differently than you imagine yourself.
But, hey, maybe he really did give Hillary pneumonia with a tweet. If tweets really do have that kind of power, Donald Trump may soon have to buy some baggier pants — to hide his TAIL.
Show us your medical records, @realDonaldTrump, or we'll just have to assume you're hiding something. Like a TAIL. #TrumpTail

I notice the topic of @realDonaldTrump having a tail didn't come up on Dr. Oz today. Is Dr. Oz part of the #TrumpTail coverup?

More confirmation of the #TrumpTail coverup! https://t.co/pbPXDqTQUd

Keep your eye on Trump’s posterior. We can do this, people!
It’s pretty common for people to call her “Man Coulter.”
So the problem isn’t that she’s pure fucking evil, it’s that she ain’t feminine enough ?
… can you say brocialist ?
@ sevenofmine
Seconded. And can I bring up my usual bugbear about posts that mock spelling and grammar?
I know they’re often justified by claims that it’s OK because MRAs are lazy. I suppose that could be true but we don’t know what their educational opportunities were and “just lazy” was a stick to beat kids with dyslexia and learning disabilities all through my schooldays.
Criticise the content of the message, not the way it was delivered.
@peaches
Oh, that’s always a fun one. I do the opposite, though, and get so paranoid that I’ve missed a dose that I’ll double or triple up on things on which I really don’t want to double or triple up. Accidentally taking a couple extra Trazodone doesn’t kill you or anything, but all the espresso in the world will not save you from that level of grogginess.
Here’s hoping you’re feeling better soon. I don’t know if there’s a “worst part” of bipolar disorder, but the paranoia certainly rates.
Insulting with slurs is like sniping with birdshot: you’re gonna hit way more bystanders than intended.
And yeah, it’s a shame to still see people make those insinuations against Ann Coulter. Of all the worthwhile positions to attack some people still have to run to misgendering and transphobia.
@Hu’s On First
Oh look something I have first hand of observing.
He’s right in one sense; When he is agreeing to mutilate and blind billions of women and children, he has become the likes of a 90’s comic book villain and frankly if someone said to my face I would be so inclined to slap them in the face without need for debate.
So many of these points are simply about fear of getting hurt and ridiculed.
I would put “All of that (and some more) can be summed up in the sentence “I want other people to suffer because I hate myself.”
The patriarchal society has caused him to buy into the belief that he is entitled to never grow or change and that everyone else is bad for attempting to correct this notion.
He doesn’t want responsibility for his actions, his thoughts or wish to acknowledge why he feels those things so instead he lashes out by wanting women who he desires to suffer in his stead.
He wants to feel fine in a public, but his self loathing and internalized misogyny prevent him from satisfying his social craving.
I can’t tell him what to feel, but I can belittle him for acting like a petulant brat who spent too many hours reading supervillain novels. He would be the type that worships Dante but ironically wants to do the things Dante mocks and opposes.
Again this proves my previous statement of him unable to cope with his self loathing and misogynistic views when in conflict with his desires for companionship and to be accepted. This has come to the point where anything against his views is an attack on him wanting those base desires. To feel safe, to feel loved, to be cared about, but more importantly to silence that little vestige of a conscious whispering to him that what he’s doing is wrong and he should feel bad about it, why else would he feel so emotionally drained and frustrated in his post with such defensive rhetoric.
Selfishness manifests into making everyone not them into the Other, seeing any argument as insults with buzzwords improperly used meant to deny them their experience. Ironic because they want nothing else but to control women and deny their experience in every aspect that threatens their self-worth. What a self-absorbed bag of burnt flies, a bag mind you wants women to suffer and be permanently disabled because of his insecurities.
It must eat at him, knowing that he cannot disclose this information to anyone or else he’d be rightly mocked, laughed at, insulted and deserving of many jeers and looks of pity. So instead he indulges in his ingroup to further reinforce his hateful views, spiraling ever further into alt-right thought and believing everyone else to be a cruel, bloodsucking mite as he is.
This is weird, writing this I should feel anger, but instead I feel like a clockmaker coldly examining the bent, misshapen parts before me.
@leftwingfox,
Also, I think it’s way more fun to insult with rhetoric instead! Slurs are cheap and easily ignored, but if you crack open their favourite ideas like lobster to feast on the delicious idea-meats? Much more likely to actually get them on their back heel, and, I dunno, way more rewarding. That’s just me, though! Or, that’s just my more vicious side, I guess.
@OoglyBoggles
Lovely analysis, very true on all counts. Our protagonist is right in one sense – his feelings aren’t up for debate, they’re very real. What is up for debate is whether his feelings are statements about anything other than himself, or whether they should be taken seriously in a stage beyond his own life.
(The answer to that is, er, no. No they should not. Just like OgglyBoggles said.)
I know that feeling very well, it’s the civilized and tamed fight-or-flight beast. It’ll trick you into thinking you are seeing clearly, but you are not. It sees enemies where there are none, and is merciless in their dispatch. Useful, but dangerous. Be careful with it.
@Oogly
(Hopefully the blockquotes work like i want em to)
Needs no further comment. Perfect
@John
Image searching ‘Michelle Malkin apple’ doesn’t get you hundreds of pics analyzing her neck like it does with Ann. Plenty of other sexist nonsense, but not the same. Same shitty beliefs, different response. Wonder why? Yeah, I can say “brocialist”
(Also, Malkin’s Asian. Nothing to do with it, I’m sure)
@Ooglyboggles:

@Axe
Yeah Malkin gets the other edge of that sword. And remember Natalia Poklonskaya ? That was mind boggling. She could say pretty much anything and get away with it because apparently her only aspect of note was being hot. The Daily Stormer crowd ? They revered her. “Aryan goddess” and whatnot.
He also seems to think Mark Cuban is avoiding a debate with him. Because yeah, Mark Cuban really doesn’t have anything better to do than publicly argue with some racist PUA idiot with delusions of grandeur.
@ColeYote
This is what Juicebro does all the time. He fixates on some famous person and keeps tweeting at them for weeks in the hopes of getting attention. He’s such a sad little boy.
Thought I commented and it didn’t show up. Anyway, yep @ryeash, it’s a problem. I went to the pharmacy, but when the pharmacist told me they were two different pills, my mind went from ‘they made a mistake’ to ‘they are now gaslighting me’. So, yeah.
I have a huge tricked-out pill box that keeps me from taking doubles. This is good, since doing that with some bipolar medications can leave you a touch dead. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen it, but there’s a great site called crazypills that’s all about mental illness medications.
According what they write, so-called icels think very much like serial killers.
So many of them sound like people who would look up to Richard Ramirez and Ted Bundy.
…and they want us to feel sorry for them.
Lol. Nope.
I imagine Trump started the rumors about Clinton’s health because he himself has health problems. He’s an old man, after all. The stuff about Clinton only started after the media began seriously questioning Trump’s weird, fakey medical report. A reasonable person could have laughed it off the way Reagan did about his age, or Bill Clinton did about his weakness for junk food, but Trump has no sense of humor about himself.
Anything Trump accuses someone else of, you can be pretty sure he’s done himself.
I’m a little late to the party but I would like to apologize.
I didn’t mean to cause harm and I’m sorry if I offended or caused distress.
Thanks for answering my question and calling me out
Hello.
I see that Weirdwood Tree Hugger already states it, but yes, that remember me of Geller. And because there would always be believers to Geller stuff, even when proven false, there would always be believers for Cernovich pretentions. Maybe he capitalizes on that ? Some persons tend to mix up inflated head and self-esteem.
By the way, did the coughing thing not linked to a former post where it was sayed that coughing was a lesbian mark ?
Have a nice day.
Fuck incels. Fuck the very concept of incels. Self-entitled asswipes thinking they can use themselves as a shield against criticism.
@Dan
All good as far as I’m concerned. Owning the mistake and apologizing is enough for me, although I dunno about the others.
@occasional reader
No the “lesbian cough” thing was from Breitbart comments. Same kinda people who’ll blindly follow Tcherno though. Meh.
If that were true, I’d already be living in a log cabin with my tall, muscular lumberjack wife. Maybe it’s because I haven’t been tweeting enough…?
@Scildfreja Unnýðnes
Curiously, his little “My imagination…” spiel brought to mind something that I then looked up, and lo!, it also mentions juice…
So, avoid Sapho juice, or perhaps just David Lynch’s version of Dune overall…
