Incels erupt in anger after one of their own gets laid; one suggests his alleged girlfriend is a Fed plant

The troublemaker is back, and has a new bag of tricks. Now he’s messing with my water supply.

First, as a preamble, it’s been raining nonstop for a week so I’m getting fairly low on supplies. My only chance to get more before running out is going to be tomorrow, as the forecast is for mainly sunny and 16, but there’s no further opportunity until Monday. (The weekend shows clear weather, but the stores would be closed before I could get to them.)

So what does the asshole do? Yesterday something bizarre happened to my water supply: it was contaminated with something that turned it a quite dark brownish. On advice, I ran it for the better part of an hour until it was running clear and there didn’t seem to be any trace of the contaminant anymore. I thought that might be some one-off, but today I woke up to the water just plain not working at all. I called the city operations department, they took my number, and then nothing. I tested it at intervals and eventually it started working again, not until after 6 this evening though — and it was contaminated again, with the same stuff as yesterday from the look. It was nearly 7 by the time I had it running clear again and thought it might be safe.

The obvious continuation of this pattern is that the water will be non-working or unusable again when I get up tomorrow, preventing me from being able to shower and dress and make myself presentable in public until late enough in the evening that it will be too late for me to get to the grocery store before it closes. Thus locking me into having no supply top-up until Monday, by which time I’ll be out of pretty much everything and starting to starve.

What I need to know, urgently, is: how do I prevent this continuation of the pattern? How do I regain control over my water supply from this fucking usurper?

And, longer term, how do I put a permanent stop to this harassment? I cannot have some unaccountable jerkass being able to hold my access to food hostage for weeks whenever the fucking whim strikes him. This has to stop and it has to stop now!

Today I finally got around to watching the Tina Turner documentary from several years ago. Lord, that woman was physically/mentally abused and gaslighted every day for decades. And Ike always said “Because you made me do it.” That’s how they work.

As for little tuckie, everything that Fox leaks daily shows what sensible people already knew: he’s a sad, pathetic, rude, crude, racist misogynist whose mind is unencumbered by facts. A wimpy trust-fund baby. Fox will eventually find the next whiny white man to spout the same lies in his timeslot, and the circus will roll on. TV Dinner Tuckie can live off his giant inheritance and blather somewhere else. Like Russia.

Ol’ Rupe has always said that no on air personality is bigger than the channel, and many people have thought otherwise, to their downfall. He’s simply the latest.

I’ve seen men of many ethnicities fight, and let’s face it — the insecure angry White men are exactly the sort who team up 4 on one. I punched a couple boys in my school years, and in all cases, it was because they were either harassing by following around the playground, or once when someone was making fun of my BFF for her disabilites. And I always warned them first. “If you don’t stop I’m gonna punch you in the nose.” They didn’t believe me till the blood flowed. I’m not strong but I have very pointy knuckles. My debutante Southern Belle mother approved in private and my older brother and all his friends approved openly.

@Vicky P: Ooh, deep cut! I LOL. WHTM can nerd out on any subject. (Today I was listening to the radio in the car and the DJ said, “Okay, I’m only gonna say this once: May the 4th be with you. There.”

@Yutolia: I am also sorry for that 20 year old girl and her upcoming baby. I hope she wises up quickly and gets them both out of there, but she’s 20 and her brain’s still growing. If she stays, I hope she’s good with diapers, because he sure isn’t going to change them, and she’s liable to be changing his when she’s 40.

@Jenora: Good article. All true.

As for this douchebag, I hope the girl gets away from him soon as well. Or if he’s trolling, I like the way he’s sent the incels into hysterics. Either way, he’s having fun.

@Lumipuna
When I see the phrases “Fed plant” and “woman”, in the same sentence, I think of Audrey II.

Edited to clarify.

I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating: every time you think incels have reached the peak of absurdity, they up the ante.

@Cyborgette I absolutely do not think most people would tolerate an incel for all the money in the world. But it’s likely someone would. Some people would probably have no choice. But with Komesarj’s obvious serial killer vibes and nothing else on the table, I can’t see it as likely he’d manage to entrap someone.

So, a sort of “reverse dogwhistle”: instead of the racism being unnoticed outside the target audience, the purpose was to make it unnoticed by the target audience?

Meanwhile, the supply run went … OK. Despite the clear threats over the preceding two days, there was not a hint of any sort of weirdness with the water today. What there was, was a bunch of miscellaneous minor glitches that added delay after delay. I still got to the store in time, though, despite these.

Is the source of my woes not quite omnipotent after all? Or was this just an intentional psych-out? Whoever it is has to let me win at least occasionally, or I’ll end up dead, either by exposure, starvation, or suicide, and there goes his primary source of entertainment. Even carnies occasionally let someone win a teddy bear at their rigged games, if only so it will serve as advertising for the rest of the day that’s much cheaper than hiring some guy to wander around for hours wearing a sandwich board. That I got my groceries today doesn’t mean the game’s not rigged …

One thing absolutely is clear. I’m up against two different game-riggers. One is the usual assortment of capitalist bastards, whose sole motive is avarice. They’re the ones who’ve enclosed the commons and thrown tollbooths up everywhere, to where people without money can’t socialize much or do much of anything else.

The other has a clearly identifiable psychological profile, and it is the mentality of a ten-year-old on the schoolyard roughing up weaker students for their lunch money and pulling on little girls’ pigtails for the lulz. And they wield a level of power somewhere between “Donald Trump from 2017 through 2020” and “Loki”. :/

Perhaps my best hope is that these two different game-riggers will sometimes interfere with each other, when they try to rig the same thing in two different ways at the same time. The other source of hope lies in chaos theory. Not even the almighty can control some things with any finesse, or predict them very far in advance. This is a known fact of mathematics. Maybe the Loki-like one will fumble a weather bomb into his own pants after pulling the pin someday.

Based on these disturbing numbers, the other one already has …

@Surplus
I don’t know which of the services at this link best fits your location/demographic. But please look through them. You’re making some worrying statements and I’m concerned about your state of mind.

Random thoughts:

• It pops up in TV sitcoms and dramas all the time. A guy objects to a woman having lunch with, or some similar thing, a former boyfriend or even just any other guy; she accuses him of being controlling and not trusting her; and his response is “it’s not you I don’t trust, it’s him“. Seems to me, though, that unless the guy thinks the other guy is an outright rapist, then he indeed doesn’t trust the woman … yet the women in these things never seem to point that out, and instead let the issue slide much more often than not.
• On the topic of TV dramas, why do DC comic based ones always seem to start out as “sci-fi with a few soap-opera elements” and, if they run for long enough, within a few years transform into “soap operas with a few sci-fi elements”? I don’t recall that being a feature of the original, dead-tree source material … the few Marvel ones (the only ones I can recall existing recently were Marvel’s Agents of Shield and Agent Carter) have not shown the same tendencies, remaining closer to the drama formula established by shows like Star Trek and Stargate.
• The vast majority of the functions of a state, from diplomacy (aka “deciding how to divide up the spoils of exploiting the proles”) to national defense to almost everything else, are ultimately guard labor, part of its role as guarantor of the property rights and privileges of the wealthy. (If you think the state is much of a guarantor of the property rights of the non-wealthy, look up things like “asset forfeiture” and “expensive to be poor”. Much of the latter comes from police and state bureaucracy levying assorted fines and fees.) An egalitarian society would probably not be anarchic, at least at larger scales, but it would likely have much less of the trappings we associate with a “state”. If forced to coexist with non-egalitarian states, it would need territorial borders and national defense, and it would still need to be the dispute resolver of last resort, the maintainer of standards documents and weights and measures, and have some sort of coordination role for interconnection and interoperability of infrastructure even where these are managed in a generally decentralized way. Someone needs to be sitting behind a “the buck stops here” desk for any decision that has to be made consistently across a continent. Most of this stuff would be boring and bureaucratic: no cloak and dagger, no real politics, just making sure stuff works, for the most part. The egalitarian government would look something like Wikipedia’s governance, or the IETF or something, and would likely be small. Perhaps a collection of Supreme Courts, acting as final arbiters of matters ranging from interpersonal disputes to what is the exact length of 1 meter, stepping in only when the lower levels had come to contradictory results. The other thing it might include would be a “disaster stockpile” and whatever was needed to manage it, in case of an event so large (say, half the west coast is wracked by forest fires) that local and regional resources aren’t enough. So, Supreme Court + FEMA + Department of Weights and Measures, more or less, plus a mini-Pentagon if there are still aggressively avaricious societies bordering it, whose ambit would be strictly limited to defending that border. One thing I wonder is: would such a society have money? I expect it would probably not have lending-at-interest, but to solve certain scaling problems it might provide some sort of “consumption allowance” to people, and fungible, transferrable tokens that could be used to contribute into common pools to engage in collective projects, Kickstarter-style. Those sound a lot like some form of money to me. If there’s money, the government will also need to manage that in some manner, whether by standardizing it or at least by resolving disputes and ensuring interoperation when local or regional currencies need to be interconverted. In the end, at a minimum there has to be some system to make sure that people doing work are producing goods and services that other people want, instead of everyone deciding to make widgets and nobody making wodgets and ending up with a widget glut and a wodget shortage as a result. That would likely require a (heavily regulated, rather than laissez-faire) market of some sort; central planning of the Soviet sort is known to scale poorly and to do a poor job of “reading the room” regarding demand — the well known Soviet-refrigerator problem. Advertising would have to be even more heavily regulated, as the ability to manufacture demand artificially can demonstrably lead to ecologically destructive and economy-warping consumption spirals. Perhaps unsolicited advertising would be outlawed: if someone researches refrigerators they can find relevant product brochures of various manufacturing co-ops, but shoving a refrigerator ad in front of them proactively, in a context where it’s irrelevant, would be verboten, and product placements in entertainment would be required to depict the product’s appearance and performance realistically, as well as not to be blatantly tangential to the plot. (So, a refrigerator of a clearly identifiable brand in the background, or someone getting their lunch fixings out of it, would be fine, but excessively lingering on it or having a character blather about it at length like a salesman rather than acting in-character would cross the line. Paid placements might not be allowed at all, but it’s likely not possible to completely avoid some sorts of quid pro quo arrangements, even if just refrigerator firms offering entertainment firms free props in the hopes of getting seen.) Basically, the early internet norms regarding what’s considered spam would likely be applied everywhere, including traditional media. Violating those norms would result in civil penalties, restraining orders, or some such, and violating civil court rulings would maybe be the only thing besides violence to be treated as criminal.

@Alan Robertshaw:

But they explained to me that the local informal greeting, the one you use for family and friends, translates as “Have you eaten?” I love that!
They were kind enough to write it down phonetically for me. So, for next time you meet someone from Hong Kong…


Si cho fan mey (Hakka dialect) 


Sik fan mei (Cantonese) 


Che fan le ma (Mandarin)

Moreover! What it specifically means is, “Have you eaten rice?”—that being the default, central, and archetypal foodstuff. (Whatever else you might have at a meal is a garnish to send down the rice.
