Stretch your mind a little with these lovely memes, courtesy of some of Twitter’s most creative Men Going Their Own Way. While almost all of these images raise more questions than they answer, some are so thoroughly incomprehensible that they sort of broke my brain. If you can explain them, please do.
You might want to start with this one, which could keep you busy for some time. Maybe you could diagram it for me?

Speaking of diagrams, my brain shut down as soon as I even glanced at this one:

This one, thankfully, has many fewer words.

Then there’s this:
We have a day without wimmins, and the world runs normal, lets have a day without men and see what happens #mgtow pic.twitter.com/IO0oIm1iWo

The big question I have about this one is what planet the author lives on. Here on earth, misogynists throw fits every time a woman declares herself independent. And I have yet to meet anyone other than MGTOWs who find the prospect of these guys “going their own way” even a little bit troublesome. Go your own way further!
This one made me a little queasy:

Why are the Berenstain Bears the first thing this guy thinks of when he thinks of sex? Leave the poor bears alone; they didn’t do anything to you!
In case you’re wondering if alt-right Nazithink has made any inroads into the MGTOW movement, this last graphic may provide a helpful clue:

Enjoy the rest of your Presidents Day, if you can.
So glad to see your mocking posts again, David!
How can there be no feminists if 99% of women are feminists, even the “conservative” ones? (EDIT: Yow, Ninja’d!)
How does the “silence means consent” part even relate to the rest of the post? If it’s a follow-up to the previous sentence, does that mean you’re telling the reader not to be silent when it comes to rejecting major feminist claims? Is it saying that being silent is consent to sex, contrary to a major feminist claim that you never “saw” a woman reject?
After that, my brain was in no shape to even attempt reading the freudian powerpoint diagram.
So … when are we getting a Last Jedi spoiler thread? Or a Black Panther one, for that matter?
too early for black panther (and for me still too early for last jedi but I think that is only for me)
Valentin, you’re not the only one who hasn’t seen Last Jedi yet. I want to see it, but work is keeping me busy.
Elon Musk and SpaceX, make way for Mega Nerd!!!
I think I figured out what the guy holding a branch in #3 is supposed to be: I think it’s supposed to be a suicide.
Which would make it both really grim and poorly illustrated.
I think I’ll stick with Arctic Ape’s banny venik interpretation; it’s so much nicer and more artistic….
I think the word “agreement” would actually make more sense than “consent” in the context of their argument here – far as I can tell, they’re saying even most conservative women don’t actively contradict the feminists enough, and should therefore be suspected of agreeing with them, or at least of being fellow-travellers, as HUAC used to say. Which is where they’re getting their “99% of women are secretly feminists” bit.
Just to add to what was said to Englishboy, there are plenty of this strain of misogynist that are conventionally attractive. A glance at the Proud Boys reveals that many could be considered handsome by the popular standards of the day. The issue isn’t looks, it’s the toxic brew of entitlement and dominance. If you look at the way that the MGTOWs view themselves in their imagery, it’s always that of aloof superiority, whereas the “blue pill simp” is typically on their knees (or chained with a collar or some other imagery of submission). You’ll also find that a lot of them tend to fetishize Asian women because of their “submissive” stereotype.
My contact with MGTOWs is limited to this blog, but I get the distinct impression that these are guys that tried to preserve that dominance and failed (because with a lot of women maintaining their own income stream, those of a certain class at least can afford to walk out). So rather than admit to being “cucked” (to use their ridiculous parlance, which is just a synonym for any blow to the male ego), they form little communities to reassure themselves that they _chose_ to sever these ties voluntarily, but their underlying resentment continues to bubble up from beneath the surface.
I mean, thinking about it, I’m the ideal MGTOW. I’m in my early 30s, educated, employed and not interested in relationships. But because my ego doesn’t revolve around dominance displays and I value empathy for those of all genders, I’m the one that gets called a “cuck” on Twitter by these guys. Funny that.
Maybe Englishboy’s statement is just lacking a comma and the “undateable” is a separate issue from “ugly” and he’s admitting to other reasons he thinks he can’t get a date.
Or maybe he’s a sock of Ruby. The fact that Englishboy posted in agreement immediately after Ruby, with a comment that could have been one of Ruby’s is making me side-eye that pair. Especially since I believe David banned Ruby back in the Mueller’s indictment thread.
Of course, I could definitely be dead wrong about this but it did catch my attention that way for some reason.
ETA: If I am wrong, apologies Englishboy.
Englishboy isn’t the first person to post sentiments like this, though.
kupo – True, but we’ve heard nothing from either since the Ruby ban. My hackles might be a tad oversensitive, though.
Even aside from the misogyny and anti-semitism, it’s scary how the same lacklustre memeing is present across all stratas of reactionary online propaganda. The same nonsensical use of diagrams, the same lack of adherence to reality. I’m currently up to my neck in screenshotted far-right memes, and it’s so rare that they actually work with the format. How they still manage to have an effect is beyond me, but then again, the bar is set very low for the people they attempt to appeal to.
And glad to see Dave bringing the blog back to usual postage, hadn’t spotted it until today.
Or maybe…she’s getting the video games.
Well, that’s what happens when you let Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian take over the world and turn the courts into gynocentric hellscapes.
“Thats all you have to offer.”
It’s that’s with an apostrophe-s, and I don’t recall offering.
Nor would I ever offer anything other than contempt to a migtoe, for the same reason I don’t bathe in toxic sludge.
I just noticed, in the third image, the baby on the far left. Presumably an example of the hellish life blue pill simp-cucks let themselves in for by not belonging to the He-Man Woman Hater’s tree fort clubhouse. The idea that these pillocks regard marriage and parenthood as detestable is unsurprising; that it limits the number of children who grow up with them as fathers is reassuring.
They really do not accept that many people are happily coupled and living what they would regard as ‘normie’ lives, do they? It occurs to me that the surest sign of being a normie is being unaware that there are bitter, angry men who would describe you as one.
Just looked more closely at one of the pictographs beside the “Blue Simp” and apparently women cause men to suffer either a) intestinal cramps, b) auto-immune gut disorders, c) lightning bolts hitting their abdomen, or d) really astounding and loud bouts of flatulence.
(I must admit, as someone who suffers IBS-like attacks from time to time, analogies with lightning bolts hitting one in the guts are not completely inapt. I doubt the migtoers had any such sophistication in mind however, so they get zero points. For anything.)
EXPLANATION:
First meme is illustrating how the language we use, the words we speak, the labels, concepts, definitions, and terminology we use to describe the world and communicate with each other has been corrupted by the gynocentric system. Feminism is an evil ideology. It’s also a political/social/cultural movement. It’s also a distraction to keep men ignorant about female nature and gynocentrism. It’s about equality. It’s about female supremacy. It’s about being sex positive. It’s about being sex negative. It’s everything and nothing. Or as Morpheus said, “It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.”
Second meme is self-explanatory.
Berenstain Bears meme is glorious. It really captures the spirit of the awakened male.
MGTOW has nothing to do with Nazism. But what is commonly referred to as ‘second wave feminism’ by estrogen based parasites and their manservants was definitely used as a tool by adherents to cultural marxism. Hence the memorable line: feminism is marxism in a skirt.
Come on guys, when pasting together black and white memes, at least make sure the background stays the same color of white. That’s like, graphic design 0.1.
Good.
Communism in USSR is terrible but Marx has some good ideas. now we must adapt them for the 21st century.
I like your centurion avatar.
But what you said is silly garbage))
now we will see if you will return to check what is effect of this poop you dropped.
Ooooh. A cogent reply. Thank you for responding, Melvin.
I’ve got a break at work coming up. I’ll gladly carve your position apart at the joints then!
(That’s a common science saying, by the way. ‘Carving reality at the joints’ is what science does in the first stage of analysis. So don’t spin off in a tizzy about how violent I’m being, that’s the lingo.)
Hey Melvin,
regarding meme number 3 and because I’ve always wanted to know how an “awakened male” would answer this: In your weird parallel reality where everything is apparently just some kind of “economical exchange”, what exactly do you think YOU have to offer?
Just out of interest, you know.
So that’s why I look so fucking lovely in my skirts and dresses <3
Frankly, Melvin's bs is not convincing.
Your second sentence contradicts your first. “Cultural Marxism” is a Nazi term. Using it unironically to sell us on MGTOW not being Nazi-like was not the greatest idea.
I do like “estrogen based parasite” though. I’m contemplating putting it in my nym. The only thing is, I really like “chief manatee” and am a bit reluctant to part with it. I guess whether or not I choose to honor your words in my nym will depend on you, Melvin. Will you say something else interesting? I’m pretty sure you weren’t that entertaining on your previous visits here. So I guess we’ll see.
Yeah, changing my psuedonym. This is just a great phrase for a paladin.
