Eventually, it seems, every single far-right nitwit in the United States will be fighting with every other far-right nitwit. Last week, we looked at the miniature civil war that broke out between “crying Nazi” Christopher Cantwell and the boys at the Daily Stormer. Today, let’s take a look at another name from this blog’s past: Davis Aurini.
Aurini, the infamous far-right huckster and pretend filmmaker responsible for the worst of the two competing Sarkeesian Effect “documentarues,” has long been at loggerheads with most of the alt-right, despite sharing many of their most noxious beliefs. Last month, he escalated his attack with a blog post mocking alt-right dudes as effete soyboys who can’t get laid.
In a post innocuously titled “A Path Forward for the Dissident Right,” the Aurininator recommends that his fellow racist far-rightists abandon the stupid “antics” they seem to specialize in and engage in some good-old fashioned self-improvement instead, until they learn how “to embody the greatness that Western Civilization demands from its adherents” in their own lives.
Aurini urges the “confirmed bachelors” of the alt-right to settle down, wife themselves up, and start popping out little alt-right babies. (Last I checked Aurini was himself a confirmed bachelor with no mini-Davises to speak of.) He tells them to get right with “God; the Logos.” Somewhat confusingly, he encourages alt-rightists to abandon white “Identity Politics” while embracing white identity. Aurini, a de facto white nationalist who pretends he isn’t one, tries to explain the distinction he’s trying to make, and ends up with little more limp word salad:
Identity Politics is … the cheap, plastic, high-fructose corn syrup replacement for identity. It takes things like culture, identity, ethnicity, and nationality – bleaches them until they’re threadbare – and then dyes the cloth in dayglow colours, turning the adherents into mindless zombies.
But the part of his post that’s likely to annoy alt-rightists the most — assuming there are any paying attention to him at this point — is the bit about them all being thirsty incels who couldn’t open an HB6 or higher if their life depended on it.
Feminism, he declares, is an “existential threat” to (white) western culture, threatening “demographic collapse … economic ruin, and … misery.” But it can’t be defeated with votes or jokes or even Man Logick. No, it can only be brought down “when masculine men win our women back with virility and leadership.”
Alas, he laments, the alt-right is hampered by “too much weakness [and] too much soy.” Basically, it’s a movement full of cucks.
Masculine confidence and leadership are extremely lacking within Dissident Right circles. … Instead of men, we have boys ruled by women, who decry the whore while worshipping the Madonna, incapable of realizing that they’re one and the same.
And, he continues, none of these pathetic Nazi soyboys can get laid.
We have an epidemic of thirst, hypocrites who lust after women unsuccessfully while decrying those who approach women with confidence. The same, toxic spirit which infected PUAHate – the site which drove Elliot Rodger to his killing spree … hasn’t disappeared, it’s simply moved on to the HAPA blogs and the AltRight.
Yes, that’s right. He’s comparing them to Elliot Rodger — which might not be entirely inaccurate, but certainly isn’t a polite thing to say about your sort-of allies.
To win our women back, we need to start acting like men – not pathetic pissant MRAs, or whiny Churchian incels. We need to stop hating on men who are successful with women, and start learning from them instead. This lack of virility leads to some of the most virtuous men in our circles being roundly decried, while the most depraved are celebrated as heroes.
Apparently he’s mad they don’t pay more attention to people like, well, him, or his old pal Roosh V. RESPECT MAH VIRILITAH!
Learn how to approach women with a masculine frame, and lead them … stop acting like the bitches on PUAHate, and start acting like real men.
Because until you do, the women will choose anything over your pathetic teenage angst.
In other words, they all need to become more like the Aurininator himself. Because, to paraphrase ZZ Top, every girl crazy ’bout a sharp-bladed Melon Ninja.
Not a massive fan of Pepeland at all, it seems.

I’ve other reasons for being wary of beans in the diet. (Opens bathroom window.) As an aside, does anybody know if there are styles of cooking broad beans (fava beans) that lead to clinically effective bloodstream levels of levodopa ?
@Rei Malebario
A look shared by our old friend Theodore Beale, another paragon of masculinity.
But Theo Beale’s sword is on fire, so he’s extra badass.
@Moggie, see, I quite carefully & deliberately set that up so that you could post the video again. You’re very welcome 🙂 Plus, I knew that you could be trusted with the mission because videos actually embed for you. All part of the plan!
Speaking of amazing YouTube videos, Shaun’s new one is even more impressive. He’s gone through hours & hours of video footage of Charlottesville (footage shot by alt-righters themselves, btw). Although Charlottesville is “old” in terms of our frantic news cycle, this kind of analysis is not.
Aurini is a white nationalist on paper, a wannabe Christian, and a native member of the Blowhard community.
Beale is a Christian nationalist, a white wannabe member of the Native community, and a blowhard on paper.
@Dvärghundspossen
Excellent points (as usual). There’s the intersection of race, gender, & sexuality, yet again.
Aside: just last week, a male student was claiming that one of the problems “we” are facing right now is lowered levels of testosterone & hence, less manly men.
It reminded me of another student, early 2000s, who opined that one good outcome of 9/11 was that it allowed the re-emergence of “real men” aka the firefighters & other responders.
Fragile. Just. So. Fragile.
We can only hope. I’m rooting for injuries.
My answer to whiners like that is: “What’s stopping you?”
Excellent teamwork, Mish! I’ll look out for the Shaun video, though that sounds like it could be a tough one to watch.
Those have never exactly been low-profile jobs, have they? People didn’t suddenly discover their existence on 9/11.
@Mish: WHAT. THE. FUCK.
Dvarg,
You’re probably right. But it’s funny because Asia is by far the most populous continent and one of the fears is that soy lowers men’s sperm count and makes them less fertile. Even if eating soy actually had an effect on men, it’s clearly not big enough to stop them from having sex and reproducing.
Of course, the other option is that it didn’t even occur to them that soy is a major part of many Asian diets and they think Chinese food is something the Jews invented in the 1970’s when all those Jewish people love Chinese food jokes seemed to start cropping up. Those cultural Marxists have been trying to feminize American men for decades!
Hmm, it’s almost like he’s embarrassed seeing himself reflected in other people….
Suddenly, I’m less self-conscious about my typical attire of baseball cap, jeans and hoodie. Plus I can colour coordinate!
@Mish
Probably the most eye-opening part of that video was the section where it was the alt-righters talking amongst themselves. That is what they don’t want the rest of the world to see: the overt anti-Semitism and race slurs being slung around by a bunch of drunk frat bros. How and why they let that footage reach the public web beats the heck out of me… and why did it take Shaun’s efforts to put it center-stage? Donald Trump sure would have had a hard time calling them “very good people” if one of the reporters had audio of these guys using just about every Jewish slur ever created.
@Catalpa,
Everyone does that kind of error every now and then. Though my first thought there was you were referring to Michael Jordon the basketball player, rather than Michael Jordon the actor (currently Killmonger in Black Panther, I believe.)
*waves cane about* “Back in my day, the dinosaurs were green, I tell you! GREEN!”
@redsilkphoenix
I think what happened was my wires got crossed due to people talking about Jordan Peterson upthread, combined with the fact that Michael Jordon is also a name of a famous person (apparently two famous people) that I know of in passing. And me generally not being good with names to begin with. >.>
@brian
Oops, I’m sorry. At least we got info in the thread for people who don’t know at least?
Call the latter Micheal B. Jordan, and yes he was Eric “Killmonger” Stevens.
yeah, totally! never a bad thing to have a bit of a primer.
keeping up with nonsense alt-right insult terminology is just so exhausting.
I’m so glad my favourite hero White Skull is back to brighten my day. Ever since he cut ties with Bath Master, it just hasn’t been the same.
Living in Taiwan, I eat a lot of soy, which hasn’t stopped my wife and me from having three sons (no daughters, alas).
I’m really sorry if I’m being a nuisance, but please may somebody post a link to Shaun’s video on Charlottesville? I don’t know who “Shaun” is I’m afraid, and I would be extremely interested in watching it. Also I’d get a new youtuber to watch, which would be great 🙂 I’m not in the loop, so to speak.
Thanks again!
@Just Popping In
Hello! You’re not being a nuisance at all – in fact, I apologise for not providing the link in the first place in the midst of all my gushing over Shaun.
You can watch it here, and obviously follow Shaun to watch more of his excellent videos.
Everyone, remember Baked Alaska claiming he’d been maced by antifa? At the 24:10 mark in the video, you can have the pleasure of watching him spray liquid soap into his eyes, and then have a melt down over the pain. He actually says “I’m having a panic attack.”
Just in case – no, panic attacks are not funny. What is funny is seeing this person (“lefties are precious little snowflakes”) fake being sprayed and then gasp that he’s having one of them.
*deep breath*
I’m trying the “drop the s” technique to see if I can embed the clip:
@kupo
I love you. That is all.
@Mish
Aww, I love you, too! ?
