Nazoid fantasy author Theodore “Vox Day” Beale has had some, well, interesting, if contradictory, responses to the carnage in Manchester. The one thing they all have in common? Utter moral bankruptcy.
In his first blog post after news of the attack broke, Day seemed to suggest that the victims more or less had it coming to them. “[T]he Killing Season has fallen upon the West,” he wrote. “And the post-Christian West cannot honestly say it does not deserve it.”
In a followup post, Day changed his tune, instead calling for the forced expulsion of Muslims and other immigrants from “the West” — a racist crusade he likes to call “Reconquista 2.0.” He explains:
Reconquista is the relatively peaceful, civilized, and historically-proven-effective way.
Day, himself an immigrant to Europe who often mentions his own Native American blood, then “warns” his readers that such a “relatively peaceful” solution may not be enough.
[I]f the multiculturalists, globalists, quislings, and cuckservatives absolutely insist on standing in the way, there is an obvious alternative. However, they’ll probably like that even less, considering that it involves them too.
Nationalism intensifies. And history’s great tide is going to wash over the world whether we will or no. The coming season became absolutely inevitable, and totally unavoidable, once these waves of immigration into the West were permitted to take place. I warned you. Many others warned you.
Day suggests that this allegedly inevitable “alternative,” er, solution to the Muslim Question will be a bloody one indeed.
Perhaps the fathers and brothers of all the murdered children of Manchester will content themselves with candlelight vigils and platitudes, as so many others have for the last 16 years. But sooner or later, one of them will not, and that man will make Anders Breivik look like a moderate.
There is going to be a lot of talk about thoughts and prayers, as always. But, as it is written, do not neglect to leave room for God’s wrath.
While Day is careful to present his predictions of an imminent anti-immigrant bloodbath as a “warning” rather than a threat, he rather gives the game away with his choice of graphic for the post: a picture labeling the aforementioned far-right terrorist/mass child murderer Anders Breivik a “saint.”
On Twitter, meanwhile, Day isn’t even bothering to hide his anti-immigrant bloodlust.

Day has also been retweeting others as bloodthirsty as he is:

This is exactly the response the terrorists want. Day and others like him on the far right know this, but they don’t care. They share the same apocalyptic fantasies as their enemies; they just want their side to win the bloody racial war they’re trying their best to bring on.
@WWTH
Martial law was declared on the, primarly muslim, island of Mindanao in the Philipines after a terrorist attack by isis or a sympathetic group today that claimed the life of three soliders or at least that’s the official story but things are circulating around the internet that things are worse. I’ll only link to official things unless you want me to link the unofficial stuff.

@Fujimoto: You forgot his long screed about how he wanted to punch a (suffering with early-onset Alzheimer’s) Terry Pratchett in the face for daring to talk about euthanasia.
@Overly Long Name
Thanks for informing us.
I received a news alert that something was happening in the Phillipines, but I was too drained by the general events of the day to register yet another crisis. I apologize if this sounds terrible and actually, as I was typing it, it dawned on me just how awful our existence has become; that I can actually be too tired to evaluate what is, in fact, a genuinely serious incident upon which millions of innocent people’s lives are at stake.
So, yes, if you have any further developments regarding this issue, I would be grateful of it, at least. I’m attempting to evaluate the matter from the link you’ve provided and will examine it at further length.

I request you link us to everything you have at your resources.
I’ve been reading recently on the causes of WWI, and they boil down to…a few petty and insecure men wanted to make others afraid of them. It was a dick-measuring contest which killed millions, changed the political map of entire continents, brought down multiple monarchies and permanently altered the lives of everyone who survived.
Because a few petty and insecure men wanted to make others afraid of them.
This is what Vox Day and his ilk on all sides of the political spectrum want. They want people to be afraid of them. They are poisonous and rotten to the core.
Because they conflate people being afraid of them with people respecting them.
And nothing can be farther from the truth.
@Tosca
I, too, am interested in that time.
I’ve developed a fascination for the previous world wars; a desire to learn as much as possible from them, and the First World War is overlooked by many because it doesn’t have all the popular figures people like to remember.
The world was also quite different back then. Consider, if you will, that Austro-Hungaria existed; and according to which political faction you belonged to, it was either the Glorious Germanic Austrian Empire of the Habsburgs, or the importuned Kingdom of Hungary forced into humiliating servitude to a brutal foreign power.
Anyway, I am no expert, just a fellow connoisseur of World War one material.
If you have not already, read “The Good Soldier Svejk’ by Jaroslav Hasek.
You can then tell me how amused or frightened you were of how accurately life in the collapsing Austro-Hungarian Empire mirrors life in the United States in 2017.
It helps when you can coast through life on daddy’s money. (Ted Beale–the only Trump fan besides Kushball who truly is just like his idol.)
They already are. They’ve got their own shit(tier) version of Twitter called “Gab”, and Beale is trying to put together his own utter garbage version of wikipedia called “Infogalactic”.
@Alan
Too bad there’s not a planet named Dionysus.
Honestly, though? How popular can that ever get, since they seem to thrive on letting the world know just how reprehensible they are? Can it ever bee as popular as Twitter?
It hasn’t been getting much buzz.
It gets worse. As usual, they’ve crafted in new functions that allow them to ignore and throw out anyone who disagrees with them. Because the guys who call everyone else “snowflakes” hate getting their fee-fees hurt.
Well I’m off into Manchester today although I am knackered having been up all night playing Bioshock for the last achievement I need, “Brass Balls”. I got it, huh-zah and it snapped me out of the funk I was in. Hopefully things in the city will be back to normal today.
Slightly OT, but Morrissey is being his usual charming self, with some sly insinuations about ‘politicians refusing to say Islamist’:

Can you not, Moz, please? You’ve spent the last two decades disappointing me, there’s no need to pile it on now.
You wouldn’t get this shit from Half Man Half Biscuit.
I see our own British Nazoid blonde Katie Hopkins – who I suspect was built and programmed by the same faceless Evil Corp that built and programmed Vox Day – is now under investigation by police for calling for a “final solution” to “the problem” (wink, wink)
Go step on a LEGO (now my new favourite thing to say, thanks @troubelle)
@Violet the Vile
The Daily Fail is still publishing her articles on their website today, though. I forced myself to read it, and she’s trying to defend what she said on Twitter. A little ‘gem’ from her screed: “If anything, united in one place, we are an easier target.”
When she starts going off on one about: “This country is sick. It is crying out for a doctor”, it seems she’s channeling Harold Saxon’s election victory speech. If Katie Hopkins is a future version of the Master, she’s a really badly written one.
Actually the Mail makes very depressing reading today. The lead article is ‘The bloody price paid for liberal weakness’. The Mail were alt.right before there was such a term, but there’s not much difference between their ‘mainstream’ opinion and some of the stuff you’d see on Pox Day’s website.
I mentioned yesterday that a relative of mine teaches at this school, and that I’d seen pictures of injured people being treated by it. Yesterday afternoon, this happened, which I think is brill:

I’m far too lazy to find pictures of Sun Tzu, a Revolutionary War soldier and a Roman soldier all facepalming, so this’ll have to do:
Re: Katie Hopkins
Gah! We’re currently discussing whether there’s a ‘final solution’ to the ‘Katie Hopkins question’. The consensus would probably breach policy here. It’s basically a variation on depriving her of the oxygen of publicity.
But I would like to see her and Piers Morgan shipped off to a desert island somewhere. Ideally Bikini Atoll, sometime between 1946 and 1958.
Ugh, the Daily Mail makes me ashamed to be British.
Although actually, I don’t know why I’m worried, because when I play Daily Mail bingo I nearly win:
tattooed and pierced
bisexual
woman
over 40
single and not worried about it
childless and not worried about it
does not own a wrap dress
sometimes wears hotpants despite having reached official wrap dress age
does martial arts
has short pink hair with one side shaved
I only need three more boxes. “Non-white” I can’t do much about (although I am Irish by ancestry, so I’m sure they could make something of that) but “single mother” and “claiming benefits” are both well within my reach. Once I’ve got both of those I will commit a crime and then Katie Hopkins will have so much material she will have a critical malfunction.
You’re welcome.
Forgot to mention I’m also obese, according to medical professionals.
However, I can do a 100 foot bus sprint without getting out of breath and kick over a 200-pound training bag with a concrete base. So my main response to people who say I’m too fat is “meh”
@ violet
You might find this interesting.

It’s an interesting take on the fat people can’t be fit thing. The ‘too long, didn’t watch’ version is ‘if you assume fat people can’t be fit then you’re going to get your head kicked in’.
@Violet the Vile
“Go step on a LEGO” and variants therof have been used around here for years as a means of wishing a subject ill will without violating the comments policy. I’m just bringing it back, hyeh.
I have to go back to finish reading the post and all of the comments, but:
There is so much awkward grammar in this that I don’t even know where to start. Why the jumping between present, past, and future tenses? And multiple past tenses, at that. And the egregious use of passive voice betrays the fact that there is nothing “inevitable” or “unavoidable” about whatever overwrought revenge fantasy alt-rightists have, but rather it’s just a way for them to try justifying their inevitable violence. And seriously, using sentence fragments for emphasis? I thought Bleugh was supposed to be a professional writer, not an edgy conservative teenager.
Since all the legos have been wished upon these people, I wish for them to find stubborn food stuck uncomfortably between their teeth and that they are unable to dislodge it despite any and all toothpicks and dental floss they can lay their hands on.
