It’s time for another visit to The Comments I Don’t Let Through, my ongoing series in which I post, well, comments that are too extreme to just let through the moderation filter, but that, holy crap, I can’t really keep to myself.
Today, an all-caps, wall-of-text rant left in the comments this morning by a self-described “MGTOWRevolutionary.” Actually, he left it in the comments twice, with slight variations.
What follows is Mr. Revolutionary’s second rant, with several sentences from his first rant at appropriate points. I have also broken his walls-o-text into shorter paragraphs because we here at We Hunted the Mammoth are into tearing down walls, not building them up. I’m going to post it without snarky comments because, well, it’s late and I’m too tired to think any up.
(Oh, and be warned that there are some pretty nasty comments about domestic violence in the middle of his rant.)
THE WRITER OF THIS SITE IS A TYPICAL FEMALE MARXIST PSYCHOPATH WHO WANTS TO MANIPULATE PEOPLE.
Ok, I lied about not making snarky comments. I sort of feel it is incumbent upon me to point out that, as a man, I am not in fact A TYPICAL FEMALE of any type, given that TYPICAL FEMALES tend to be, you know, female.
WOMEN ARE BECOMING LIKE SECOND BOSSES TO MEN, THEY DO NOTHING BUT EXPLOIT US FOR OUR MONEY.
WE MEN HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT OUR CHAINS AND SOMEDAY WE WILL REVOLT AGAINST YOUR EXPLOITATION, WE ARE TIRED OF IT AND IT BRINGS NOTHING TO THE TABLE.
WHEN WILL WOMEN GET OFF THEIR ASSES AND DO THE SAME FUCKING AMOUNT OF WORK AS MEN, AND EQUALLY CONTRIBUTE TO CIVILIZATION WITHOUT EXPLOITING US FOR OUR MONEY.
YOU JUST WATCH WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SOMEDAY WE ALL UNIONIZE AND STRIKE AGAINST YOU, SO YOU CANNOT SURVIVE ANYMORE HAHA. IT WILL BE YOUR TURN BY THEN PARASITES.
IF YOU THINK WHAT YOU WOMEN HAVE IS SO BAD WHY DON’T YOU GIVE IT TO US? OH RIGHT, NO YOU WON’T BECAUSE DEEP DOWN YOU KNOW YOU DON’T WANT TO WORK FOR YOUR MONEY. YOU STEAL AND ROB ALL THE “COMFORTABLE” JOBS FROM US TOO.
Here come the domestic violence comments.
EVERYTIME I HEAR A FEMALE PARASITE DIE FROM “DOMESTIC VIOLENCE” OR KILL THEMSELVES I CAN’T HELP BUT LAUGH, ITS TOO FUNNY WHENEVER IT HAPPENS LOL.
ITS YOUR FAULT YOU CAN’T GET OFF YOUR ASSES AND MAKE MONEY FOR YOURSELF, AND ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTE TO CIVILIZATION
EVEN NOW AS I WRITE THIS I PICTURE MYSELF AS JUST A NUMBER INSIDE A CONCENTRATION CAMP BEING WORKED TO DEATH VIA EXHAUSTION FROM A SHORTER LIFESPAN ALL BECAUSE OF YOUR GENOCIDE, MURDER AND KILLINGS AGAINST US.
YOU MUST PAY FOR YOUR CRIMES JUST AS THE NAZIS IN NUREMBURG DID, I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY. INFACT THAT WE HAVE HERE IS WORSE IN EVERY SINGLE IMAGINABLE WAY COMPARED TO THE HOLOCAUST AND ALL THE EXPERIENCES OF ALL VICTIMS OF IT! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
MEN DIE EARLIER THAN WOMEN BECAUSE YOU MURDER THEM IN YOUR OWN VERSION OF A CONCENTRATION CAMP, YOUR GYNOCENTRIC SOCIETY.
THE NAZIS WERE ATLEAST OPEN, HONEST ABOUT IT AND ALLOWED IT TO BE OVER QUICKER FOR THEIR VICTIMS. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS YOU ENJOY WATCHING THE SLOW, AGONIZING DEATHS OF MEN IN SOCIETY AND DO IT WAY SLOWER.
THE DEATH EVIDENCE FROM YOUR DRAFTING OR SHORTENED LIFESPANS. YOU WOMEN ARE MURDEROUS PIECE OF SHIT WHO BUILD YOUR PROSPERITY ON THE BLOOD OF MILLIONS, MILLIONS OF MEN
And … scene!
RE misgendering (which autocorrect made “mist endearing”, which I would have left but for the confusion) David, I get why the trolls do it, but for the whole right hand side of the screen, which makes it quite clear.
So I can only assume either a) they are so keen to share their bigotry that they just plunge in, or b) they’ve decided David is lying and is really a feeeemale, or) they’ve decided David is male, is a “cuck” and therefore deserves the worst slur available, ie treating him like he’s a woman.
I genuinely don’t know which is preferable.
@WWTH
From that hilarious article in the comments someone mentioned that Trump’s favorite movie is Citizen Kane. Apparently Trump does strongly identify with the title character and thinks Kane didn’t lose all that much in the end.
Fuck, that’s like Pablo Escobar saying his favorite film is Breaking Bad and considering the main character to be pretty nice guy.
Yo migtoe, a person’s value is not predicated on how much work they do, but I’m sure disabled people, particularly disabled women, don’t exist in your misogynist fever dream.
Work is work, not a moral imperative or metric of value for anyone people who can’t work for money are still contributing to the world, and there is no necessary labor that is not valuable and important, from childcare to cleaning toilets to cancer research.
But hey, wallow in the sweet self righteous feeling of being persecuted without actually experiencing any of the nasty parts of persecution.
Yeah, this is why I’m firmly believe in Author’s Word Being Law. “The Death of the Author” my ass.
Oh man…you’re telling me Reddit is the internet’s asshole? I…never would have guessed…
There was a time when Reddit billed itself as the front page of the Internet. Is that still the case, or did they eventually give up that ridiculous conceit? Reddit has always been on approximately the same level as IRC, so trying to make itself the face of the Internet was always going to make the Internet look like a trash fire.
@Therese
Hiya, I’m Axe! Assuming you’re new, welcome aboard and grab yourself a welcome package while you’re here 🙂
One thing tho
Wat? Either your friend is magic or that dude isn’t very good at Going His Own Way. Then again, miggies generally are pretty bad at actually migging, so I’m not suprised
You’ve come to the right place to learn. Good luck!
@Jack
B-but… muh ships and headcanons *lip quivers*
I don’t have an issue with people finding a personal meaning in a work that may have been outside of the artist or author’s original intent. But these chucklefucks are arguing with Carpenter about what he intended the message of the work to be and that’s just ridiculous. It’s made even more ridiculous when you consider that They Live, while a good film, is not exactly obscure art house stuff. It’s pretty easy to work out what Carpenter intended even if you want to choose to see other symbolism in it.
Hey, I said Author Word is Law, so if the Author says this, this and this, then it’s true. I never said that headcanons and ship and personal meaning is wrong and should be ignored, I’m saying that if the creators say this is true or that it’s stated in the book this happened, then it’s true and it happened. Otherwise it’s an AU.
I mean, how often does an author come out and say “yeah no that ship isn’t happening” or “yeah your headcanon is shit” or “that’s not something I meant my work to convey”?
If the creators of Overwatch say Tracer is a lesbian and in a relationship with Emily, she’s a lesbian and in a relationship with Emily, and you aren’t allowed to argue with the author to say otherwise because she isn’t your character. She isn’t suddenly bi for your ships with Torbjorn or whoever they ship her with that isn’t Widowmaker.
And if the author comes out and says “Horton Hears a Who isn’t a pro-life message”, it ain’t a pro-life message, and no matter you want and wish it was, it isn’t. That’s what I’m saying.
Canon and Intent will always be above headcanon and personal meaning. At least in my book.
Wow, this guy has a victim complex bigger than Trump’s ego, he’s so pathetically willfully delusional that I don’t even want to make fun of him…
And even now as I write this I picture myself as the Pope Emperor of Space so, you know, my word carries a lot of weight.
Yes, this. I find it hilarious that people actively argue with the author or any given material as to the intent of that author…I’ve also seen this with the meanings of song lyrics as well.
I’m firmly in the Author Is Dead camp, but I still don’t see any bridge from They Live’s strong anti-consumerist message to anti-Semitism, unless you just say “well rich people are Jews LOL!”
@Vanir85
…Is it a kick in the pants? It’s a kick in the pants isn’t it. The thing. That you want to give the migtoe.
*pleasesayit’sakickinthepantsoramillionmilemarchoverlegostrewnground!*
I just… how do they call themselves history buffs and not know that the U.S. qua the U.S. had a mostly agrarian economy for the first few hundred years? And that on a farm, it doesn’t matter whether you’re innie or outie, although admittedly, some women get a break if they are pregnant and worried about miscarrying? (Some people think that pregnancy is hard on the body, too. Hard to imagine, I know, sweet baboons of the MGTOW race, but take heart! Maybe some day soon, you’ll be able to shed those particular misandric shackles and prove it’s super-cushy and that dying thing only happens if you’re, I dunno, careless or poor or something.)
TL;DR: New rule: you don’t get to complain about gendered division of labor unless you have worked a season, including shearing, on my Uncle W’s sheep ranch, and can rope and hogtie a calf faster than cousin Bonnie (spoiler: you can’t. No-one can. I swear, I’ve seen her pick up and throw a heifer that weighed twice my weight, and I am no Audrey Hepburn.) Anyway.
Imaginary Petal, you are clearly very good at that. Me, I always just hang up but my OH works along similar lines to you (I tend to feel sorry for the person if it’s “just” an annoying cold call, but if it’s an actual malevolent scam as they quite often are, then fair enough). We have got to the point of the computer being on fire with smoke pouring out of it on many occasions.
OH has the “advantage” here that English is their second language (used to be third, but it’s definitely second these days) and they speak rather idiosyncratically and with a strong accent, which gives additional scope for perfectly inadvertent tangents and completely innocent confusion. Also for the last personal-injury scammer being earnestly enjoined to come to tea next Wednesday, in a city approx 12k miles away from our current location.
“THE NAZIS WERE ATLEAST OPEN, HONEST ABOUT IT AND ALLOWED IT TO BE OVER QUICKER FOR THEIR VICTIMS. ”
Yup. Every book I read about the Nazis points out, that for all their acknowledged faults, they were at least transparent and efficient.
MGTOW logic:
a) women are worse than the Nazis
b) actually the Nazis were not so bad
c) um…
Statistically, married men live longer than single ones. Maybe the ‘parasites’ keep their hosts alive so they can drain more resources from them? But then, single women tend to live longer than married ones, I wonder how that works?
@Handsome Jack
Assholes serve a useful and valuable purpose, and you’d probably miss yours if it went on strike or left you.
Reddit, by comparison, is clearly something pathological. Perhaps a pilonidal cyst, or anal fistula, but more likely a nice case of Fournier’s gangrene would be the most appropriate comparison.
(Incidentally, for those of you unfamiliar with the latter, I can recommend not searching too hard for it. Some of the photos are pretty gristly)
Regarding cold call computer scammers, there’s an elderly neighbour of mine who is well wise to it. She keeps them on the ‘phone for about an hour, then delivers the punchline – ‘You must be ever so clever; I don’t have a computer !’ Classic.
Hits a little close to home for me, even five months afterward. My brother posted a extremely unhinged, public screed calling me a parasite on our father, because I disagreed with his gullible swallowing of superstitious and pseudoscientific white supremacist bullshit, hook, line, and sinker. The closest I could find to what he was referencing was a decade-old hate article that could only snooker idiots not versed in genomics.
He’s younger than me, has the same level of education as me (MA in Genomics, which makes his bigotry all the more blatant), failed to get into medical school (one guess who he blamed that on) and is going into pharmacy school instead. His entire education was and will continue to be funded by our dad, because he refuses to get work, whereas I paid for my master’s and, soon, PhD. He still lives at home, takes care of zero of his own expenses, parents bought him his car and pay for the insurance, refuses to do any dishes, laundry, or yardwork. His girlfriend bought a condo (she likes to pretend that the fact that her parents gave her $30k doesn’t matter), so he’s definitely self-selecting for privilege-blind company. If he doesn’t sabotage his relationship by refusing to do “women’s drudgery”.
Christmas with him was punctuated by his loud, restaurant-public monologues about how universal healthcare can’t work (with a lie to support it), and how that new space movie with Chris Pratt isn’t a hissing, seething roil of dangerous male entitlement. Nobody but me and my husband spoke up against it.
Hm. Still got strong opinions about that. I will be looking to see if “parasite” stays in his lexicon, and definitely won’t be blaming HS girlfriend when their relationship falls apart.
Thanks for the posting Dave, I hope you keep finding the fortitude to help us stay up to date!
Hmm, maybe I should start answering phone calls from numbers I don’t recognize so I can mess with these guys. “I tried to go to the address you gave me but my kid set up some weird thing and it says it’s scanning ports or something? It says it found some vulnerability, do I have a virus? What’s this CVE number mean? Ok, I see a button that says exploit and I pressed it, now what? Hello?” It would be fun.
No. no. no! Nazis were NOT transparent. They were wink, wink – nudge, nudge. It’s only in retrospect that it was obvious what they were up to. Even they had to work up to full-scale genocide and it was not transparent to the German people. If they’d really stopped and thought about it, yes they’d have realised the Nazis were up to no good, but they made it easy for people to believe that Jews and others were being transported to settle new areas. Or that they were going to art camps (yes, really!) or that the disabled children they gassed early on were going off to be cured. That’s what they told the parents, they didn’t tell them that they’d been murdered or even ‘euthanised’, but rather that they’d died of common-ish ailments.
It’s important to remember this and not perpetrate the lie that they were open about killing Jews in death camps. 1) because it supports holocaust denial where they say 6million Jews couldn’t have died in the camps – and that’s true, 6 million Jews didn’t die in the camps. It was a charnel house, millions died in the camps, but millions more died of starvation and illness in ghettos, were shot, etc. And while I think the death camps kept fairly good records, a lot of people who were just killed pogrom style weren’t recorded. 2) because if there is a new fascist slaughter it will operate the same way, surreptitiously, slowly at first and then ramp up.
@Therese
Does your friend know what MGTOW stands for? Has she asked her boyfriend why he is (supposedly) “going his own way”?
@IP, I guess my stepdad’s friend got one of those same scam calls, and he also decided to waste the guy’s time. (“Okay, so if you’ve followed all of my instructions, you should see the mouse move. Is it moving?” *From an entirely different room than the computer in question, which is shut down* “Ooh, yes, there it goes! Look at it move!”) When the scammer finally realized he was being messed with, he became irate and cursed my stepdad’s friend halfway to Sunday. You know, because clearly he was the asshole in the situation. XD
