The competition, as always, is fierce, but Nazi trollster Andrew Anglin has won today’s Worst Human Being on the Face of the Planet Award for a post in which the Daily Stormer publisher praises former mixed martial arts fighter Jon “War Machine” Koppenhaver … for beating his ex girlfriend nearly to death.
On Monday, Koppenhaver was sentenced to life in prison for the brutal 2014 attack, which left his ex, model and former porn actress Christy Mack, with as assortment of severe injuries ranging from a fractured eye socket to a broken rib.
Anglin thinks the sentence is “insane.”And while he isn’t exactly what you’d call a fan of the mixed-race Koppenhaver, he thinks Mack deserved the beating, apparently because she has a lot of tattoos and at the time of the assault had a shaved head.
“I don’t usually defend deranged brown savages,” Anglin writes in a blog post today (archived here).
But I’m going to right now.
UFC fighter War Machine has been sentenced to life in prison for assault and battery, which is insane in itself. …
But on top of the nuttiness of “giving someone an ass beating” resulting in life imprisonment – the bitch deserved it, and no one anywhere can make an argument that she didn’t.
As proof of she “deserved it,” Anglin posts a picture of Mack, posing nude with a shaved head, showing off her tattoos.
“Okay so this is the bitch,” he writes.
You’re going to tell me she didn’t deserve to have the shit beat out of her?
Are you insane?
In addition to questioning the sanity of those who don’t think women should be beaten because some random Nazi skinhead doesn’t like their haircut, the Daily Stormer publisher also declares Koppenhaver himself to be “completely unhinged and insane,” something Anglin blames on Koppenhaver’s racial heritage.
“[I]t’s called being mixed race,” Anglin writes, briefly addressing Koppenhaver directly.
It causes psychological problems, which obviously you do have, which I can see simply from your hipster tattoos. …
Obviously, you deserve to be in prison AT LEAST just for being the person that you are.
HOWEVER – in this specific case, you did not do anything wrong.
Despite Koppenhaver’s “psychological problems,” Anglin finds himself agreeing with many of the stranger statements the MMA fighter has made over the years.
[A]lthough War Machine definitely is insane, he is also sort of a respectable type of insane.
Like, he had this meme about how anyone should be able to murder anyone at any time if they were capable of it.
Yes, that’s right. Anglin thinks this is an example of something “respectably insane” and kind of cool.
He also did things like call for the assassination of Barack Obama and said that men in modern feminist societies are treated worse than Jews during the Holocaust.
He has also said many other things that some people might consider to be awesome.
As a result, Anglin puckishly announces,
I’m writing him a letter and offering to publish a weekly column – “War Machine’s Advice for Men.”
Ha ha! Anglin is as terrible a comedian as he is a person. And he is today’s Worst Human Being on the Face of the Planet.
@Still Fiqah:
You do realize that Prince converted to the virulently sexist and homophobic Jehovah’s Witnesses, right? Like to the point where he was actually going door to door haranguing people to embrace that poisonous philosophy.
Even if late-period Prince didn’t fully embrace Anglin’s variety of hatred, in many of the ways that count he was closer to the ass-wipe side than the side of the angels.
@zaunfink – thanks for the tip, that’s not a bad idea!
Sorry, but I have to do a British-specific derail – last night down the pub, I said to some of my friends, “Just think, we could have a Labour government tomorrow – yeah, and monkeys might fly out of my butt,” and we all had a bitter little chuckle.
BUT NOW MONKEYS ARE FLYING OUT OF MY BUTT! David…please, please can we have a post of British MGTOWs/alt-rightists/Nigel Farage having sads at some point??
The england elections is a pleasant surprise. From what I have seen, it can actualy backfire in that May will likely ally with (even more) far-righter to have a majority, while Corbyn can’t hope to do so ; but I do like that it take May down a notch or two.
So an racist MRA had to choose between hating on a mixed race man, and hating on a woman. He chose to hate the woman and tie logic and justice in knots, trying to justify why she “deserved” to be beaten to within an inch of her life.
Creep.
@Ohlmann
Yeah, it’s just broken that she’s done a deal with the Democratic Unionists. Which is interesting, because there is unlikely to be a union if the Tories carry on the way she is.
However, Corbyn could ally with either (or both) the SNP and Lib Dems for voting purposes. I really doubt either of them will side with the Tory vote, the SNP don’t like the Tories and the Lib Dems had their fingers burnt in 2010.
There is also a strong possibility that May will have to step down even if a coalition is formed, because some Tories have lost their seats and she’s really not going to be popular in the party; this was a big gamble for her, and she’s lost.
Although this might mean Boris Johnson, which would arguably be worse 🙁
We will have to see. But either way, it is a damn sight better than the Conservative landslide I was expecting.
*the way they are
Hmm, clearly having finger issues today.
@ Violet and Ohlmann
I think a post election progressive alliance might be unlikely. Labour and the SNP can’t really stand each other. The Lib Dems would insist on a commitment to proportional representation and obviously Corbyn won’t go for that. Also the other parties are a bit annoyed that when they stood down to help labour, labour didn’t reciprocate.
That probably doesn’t matter though. The Tories will never forgive May for throwing away this election so her days are numbered. It’s just a matter of seeing who’ll pick up the poisoned chalice. Amber Rudd would be the obvious choice but it’s risky having a PM with such a small majority.
Ah well, interesting times.
@Alan – Definitely so!
@Violet
Paul Nuttall’s sad face is cheering me up a lot this morning. Apparently even he didn’t get to vote for himself, as he lives 120 miles away from where he was standing. The one vote he could have counted on…
@ Dan
Traditionally you’re always supposed to vote for your opponent to ensure no one gets zero. I think that’s quite sweet.
A Gordian knot, I’d say. It’s just a bald assertion that the justification should be obvious with a little visual help.
(FTR, the nude photo in question is a professional artsy model pose, no explicit view, not trying to look overly rebellious. I think Anglin is either trolling with his non-arguments, or he’s really deep in assuming that his personal judgement of women’s looks is some psychological insight.)
(Also, aside from some photos and War Machine video interviews, David pretty much quoted the whole article.)
Orion,
Why are you putting words in my mouth?
Why did you ‘splain the thing I said back to me?
@Alan Robertshaw
I’m also fairly certain that no-one who has put the slightest bit of thought into the matter will want to be leader under the current circumstances. Look at the number of volunteers to be in charge of health at the last election (zero). Only a total idiot would want to go down in the history books as the person who totally and utterly fucked up everything beyond belief…
Hah, yes.
@ pie
The civil service were put on notice to expect a cabinet reshuffle at three today. Love to be a fly on the wall:
“We can offer you Home Secretary, Health Secretary or Education. Who would you prefer slashing your tyres, police, nurses or teachers?”
I’ve had Pharrell William’s “Happy” on repeat this morning. I think this saves the NHS from total shutdown and hopefully saves us from a hard Brexit.
On the down side, it may well mean yet another election soon which would mean people yelling at each other for another 6 weeks and getting even more polarized.
My guess is that May will try to stay on. I doubt she’ll manage it, even though it’s such an unattractive job at the moment.
@ Sheila
My northern soul roots compel me!!!!

@DanHolme
I have just been googling Paul Nuttall and it is making me giggle. Thanks for that.
“UKIP are still on the pitch and more relevant than ever” he says as he resigns as leader HA HA (insert Nelson from the Simpsons here)
@Sheila Crosby
Yes I agree, I think even though the Tories still have the majority the opposition will be a lot tougher to beat for them. I’m not sure I can take another election though *crawls under table at the mere thought*

how the flipping heck do you do gifs on here? This definitely calls for one
A couple of my friends are involved with this group.
http://shipleyfeministzealots.org.uk/about-2/
They formed to get shut of MRA MP Phillip Davies. Ah well, better luck next time.
And for any MRAs listening in, note that they do bake sales to raise money for a mental health charity that works to prevent male suicide.
I was cheered to see Nick Clegg lose his seat. It should have happened in 2015, but better late than never.
It’s going to be interesting to see voters on the mainland taking a closer look at the throwbacks of the DUP, and perhaps recoiling in disgust.
In non-election news, this made me happy:
The schoolgirl thrash metal band smashing stereotypes in Indonesia
Mish of the Catlady Ascendancy
Why does that remind me of the man who killed both his parents then threw himself on the mercy of the court because he was an orphan?
@Valentine
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. 🙂
I’m sorry, but after the Lea and Orion kerfuffle, I had to say it. Do stop calling yourself a moron, young man. You’re just a little clumsy is all.
@Tosca
Right? Nice to know that an infamous white supremacist was willing to sort of put aside his violent racism for five seconds to bond over woman hating. I don’t even know where to start with this one.
