We have moved from an era of average products for average people to an era of tribes and leaders, as pointed out by marketing flack Seth Godin. This applies to the news industry perhaps more than any other business people interact with on a daily basis. An average saccharin news product for an average viewer is being relegated to the ash heap of history, especially when it comes to what used to be termed “mainstream” but is now more accurately termed “legacy” broadcast and print news.
The mainstream media lost control of the dialogue with the rise of the internet. The internet has brought about a tectonic shift in the way people think, acquire new ideas, and inform themselves. This means the age of the dominance of the talking head is coming to an end as preferences shift from milquetoast lies and half-truths to harsh reality.
They Live (1988) was another film decades ahead of its time, dramatizing the hidden messages in politics and business
In the old days, large corporations were able to push their products—and ideals—on the masses through constant advertising and the gatekeeper model of the news media. Noam Chomsky, even though he is an avowed leftist, accurately describes how this model works in this interview from Manufacturing Consent:
The elite media are the agenda-setting media. That means The New York Times, The Washington Post, the major television channels, and so on. They set the general framework. Local media more or less adapt to their structure.
And they do this in all sorts of ways: by selection of topics, distribution of concerns, emphasis and framing of issues, filtering of information, by bounding of debate within certain limits.
They determine, they select, they shape, they control, they restrict — in order to serve the interests of dominant, elite groups in the society.
However Chomsky, as many leftists do, fails to see how the government also shapes, controls, and restricts in order to serve the interests of the dominant, elite groups in government.
Before the internet, any information presented had to pass through a gatekeeper, or several gatekeepers before it was allowed on the air. If a story did not meet a certain agenda or it upset an advertiser, no matter how important it was it would never be allowed to see the light of day.
This is no longer the case. The rise of the internet means people now gather around web sites as they once would have gathered around the television set to get news, views, and opinions. The web is on their phone, their tablet, their PC. It is an interactive medium rather than a passive one like TV. This means the dominance of the centralized model of communication is ending. The corrupt, legacy media is less trusted now than at any time since Gallup started taking this poll.
Gallup Polls since 1997 have shown that most Americans do not have confidence in the mass media “to report the news fully, accurately, and fairly.” According to Gallup, the American public’s trust in the media has generally declined in the first decade and a half of the 21st century.
People are awakening en masse and they increasingly know are being fed lies. The Internet may yet save America from itself. These are some of the reasons by the legacy media cannibalized itself.
Bias
Media bias, once vehemently denied by the talking heads at the alphabet channels, is now accepted reality. The number of Americans expressing “hardly any” confidence in the press has risen to 45% according to Jonathan Ladd, author of Why Americans Hate the Media and How It Matters.
When attempting to discover why there is bias, one of the keys is looking at the backgrounds and beliefs of people who work as journalists. Here are some fascinating facts about those who work in the media from Discover the Networks, A Guide to the Political Left:
- 81% of news media professionals favor affirmative action in employment and academia.
- Some 71% agree that the government should work to ensure that everyone has a job.
- 75% agree that the government should work to reduce the income gap between rich and poor.
- 56% say that the United States has exploited the nations of the Third World.
- 57% say that America’s disproportionate consumption of the world’s natural resources is immoral.
- Nearly half agree that the very structure of our society causes people to feel alienated.
- Only 30% agree that “private enterprise is fair to workers.”
- In a 2004 Pew Research Center study of journalists and media executives, the ratio of self-identified liberals to conservatives was 4.9 to 1.
- In a 2007 Pew Research Center study of journalists and news executives, the ratio was four liberals for each conservative.
Looking at those stats, it’s easy to see that most of the people who work in the media would fall under the SJW (social justice warrior) classification.
As the corporate media stranglehold on news and information has been ending and the internet arises to fill the vacuum, it has become common for Presidential candidates to attack bias in the media. This tactic was pioneered by Newt Gingrich in his 2008 and 2012 campaigns.
I think the destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country, harder to attract decent people to run for public office.
Gingrich made this statement in response to CNN’s John King opening a Presidential Debate with a contrived issue about Gingrich’s marital fidelity. You can watch this and other take-downs of the media by Gingrich in this YouTube collage.
More recently, Breitbart did an article on the bias that supposedly conservative Fox News displayed towards Donald Trump at its March 3, 2016 debate.
In their naked pursuit of Donald Trump’s scalp, moderators Chris Wallace, Bret Baier, and Megyn Kelly used every cheap trick in the book. None of the other candidates faced dramatic graphics. Trump did. None of the other candidates faced video of past statements. Trump did. Trump was never asked to attack his rivals. On at least three occasions, Trump’s rivals were invited to attack him.
WALLACE: But it was your video and the serious question is, because the suggestion is, do you think that Donald Trump is naive about the threat that Vladimir Putin represents?
WALLACE: Mr. Trump opposes any increase because he says it will price American workers out of the world market. Is he wrong about that?
WALLACE: Senator Rubio … Please tell Mr. Trump why he’s unprepared to be commander-in- chief.
[Me-gyn] Kelly used leaked reports and unsubstantiated rumors surrounding an off-the-record interview Trump supposedly had with the left-wing New York Times…There is nothing more sacred in journalism than an off-the-record situation. This is supposed to be inviolable.
Fox News even went so far as to air an anti-Trump campaign ad—paid for by John Kasich—during the debate. The marionettes posing as journalists, without a doubt, did this at the behest of their bosses, which brings us to ownership.
Ownership
Six corporations control nearly all of the media. This includes News Corporation, Disney, Comcast, Time Warner, Viacom, and CBS. Pulitzer-prize winning journalist Chris Hedges warns us that corporate media control “of nearly everything we read, watch or hear” is what he calls inverted totalitarianism:
A system where corporations have corrupted and subverted democracy and where economics trumps politics.
This is why everything you hear on TV sounds like everything else you hear on TV, fear and consumption
Princeton political theorist Sheldon Wolin also warns about this power structure in his award-winning book Democracy Incorporated:
[Managed democracy is] a political form in which governments are legitimated by elections that they have learned to control. The electorate is prevented from having a significant impact on policies adopted by the government through the continuous employment of public relations techniques [by the six media corporations.]
Many of these public relations techniques are detailed in a TNMM recommended documentary, The Century of the Self. These techniques have been illustrated for all to see in the 2016 Presidential Campaign, as the corporate-government media establishment has been pulling every dirty trick possible including threatening a brokered convention to keep Donald Trump from getting the nomination, and possibly winning the election.
According to Wolin, these are two important ways in which inverted totalitarianism is the inverted form of classical totalitarianism.
- Whereas in Nazi Germany the state dominated economic actors, in inverted totalitarianism, corporations through political contributions and lobbying, dominate the United States, with the government acting as the servant of large corporations.
- While the Nazi regime aimed at the constant political mobilization of the populace, inverted totalitarianism aims for the mass of the populace to be in a persistent state of political apathy. The only type of political activity expected or desired from the citizenry is voting. Low electoral turnouts are favorably received as an indication that the bulk of the populace has given up hope that the government will ever help them.
Inverted totalitarianism reverses things. It is all politics all of the time but a politics largely untempered by the political. Party squabbles are occasionally on public display, and there is a frantic and continuous politics among factions of the party, interest groups, competing corporate powers, and rival media concerns. And there is, of course, the culminating moment of national elections when the attention of the nation is required to make a choice of personalities rather than a choice between alternatives. What is absent is the political, the commitment to finding where the common good lies amidst the welter of well-financed, highly organized, single-minded interests rabidly seeking governmental favors and overwhelming the practices of representative government and public administration by a sea of cash.
The corrupting influence of money on politics (as predicted by Oswald Spengler 100 years ago) and in the media causes dishonesty. The rise of the Internet has meant for the first time, citizens can easily challenge the narrative and hold those in power accountable.
Dishonesty
Brian Williams, king of nightly news Internet memes
Because of their dishonesty and the power of the internet to hold them accountable, we have witnessed the very public disgrace of two major network anchors in the past decade. Another major cable news anchor is currently embroiled in controversy, too.
Brian Williams repeatedly, and over a 10-year plus period repeated the story that he was aboard a helicopter that was hit and forced down by RPG fire during the Iraq War. It took over 10 years of Williams continuing to repeat this story, burnishing his credentials as a journalist by doing so before his account was finally refuted by crew members who rode the helicopter with him.
Williams, in reality, had a much more uneventful ride arriving an hour after the helicopters in front of him had made emergency landings. The Chinook helicopter he rode took no fire. Williams even told different versions of his story, adding to the doubts:
I looked down the tube of an RPG that had been fired at us and had hit the chopper in front of ours. And I’m so fortunate to be sitting here.
This was in contrast to another version:
Then, I noticed something out the window. From a distance of six miles, I witnessed a rocket launch. A rising trail of smoke, then a second rocket launch, an orange flash and more smoke — as a rocket heads off toward Israel.
He went on to say he “made a mistake recalling” the event. Huh? Williams was also caught up in stories regarding his coverage post-Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. He blamed these stories on “fog of memory.”
When you look out of your hotel room window in the French Quarter and watch a man float by face down, when you see bodies that you last saw in Banda Aceh, Indonesia and swore to yourself that you would never see in your country. I rode it out with people who later died in the Superdome.
My week, two weeks there was not helped by the fact that I accidentally ingested some of the floodwater. I became very sick with dysentery, our hotel was overrun with gangs, I was rescued in the stairwell of a five-star hotel in New Orleans by a young police officer. We are friends to this day. And uh, it just was uh, I look back at total agony.
These claims also turned out to be false. As Williams signed on as NBC News Anchor in 2004, a colleague of his was caught up in a scandal of his own.
Dan, I think we’d Rather hear from someone else
On Septmber 8, 2004, less than two months before the Presidential Election, Dan Rather reported on 60 Minutes that a series of memos critical of then-candidate for President George W. Bush’s service in the Texas Air National Guard had been discovered in the personal files of Lt. Col. Jerry Killian, Bush’s commanding officer.
The documents were presented as authentic, but since then several typography experts have concluded they were forgeries. Once again, it was the internet that held the news business accountable. Within hours of the story airing, questions arose regarding the authenticity of the documents. The concerns then spread throughout the media. The incident damaged Rather’s credibility, and in 2006 CBS News decided not to renew his contract.
Mr. Family Values has problems of his own
More recently, Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, Mr. Family Values himself, has become embroiled in domestic abuse allegations and has lost custody of his children. He reportedly choked his wife during a disagreement, and his teenage children decided to stay with their mom. Considering his well-known temper these allegations are believable, in my opinion.
Fluff
Anyone who has watched a television newscast knows the mainstream media has the depth of a glass of water. In her book The Interplay of Influence: News, Advertising, Politics, Kathleen Jamieson illustrates how news stories are made to fit one of the five following categories, all catering to the lowest common denominator:
- Appearance versus reality
- Little guys versus big guys
- Good versus evil
- Efficiency versus inefficiency
- Unique and bizarre events versus ordinary events
Reducing news to these five categories, and tending towards an unrealistic black/white mentality, simplifies the world into easily understood opposites. This way, the media provides an oversimplified skeleton of information which is more easily commercialized.
The rise of the internet means in-depth reporting is at your fingertips, and people do not have to settle for this cookie-cutter, lowest common denominator approach. Citizen journalists often break stories that professional journalists do not or cannot.
People are increasingly leaving this outdated communication model where a big mouth on TV tells you what to think and believe, and finding people who share their view of the world.
Demographics
The decline of the corporate news model has been playing out for quite some time, even before the internet became ubiquitous. The evening news audience has been cut in half in just over a generation.
Declining viewers mean declining revenues and ever-more desperate news operations shilling for attention in a crowded marketplace
The trends are even more telling when one looks at the network news audience as a percentage of the population. The legacy media is, quite literally, bleeding to death.
Even though the population of the U.S. has been increasing since 1980, the news audience has tumbled
Women make up about two-third to three-quarters of the remaining television news audience, depending on the city and survey. This would tend to explain why most of the stories in the legacy media tend to focus on topics of interest to women, and not men. Women also, tellingly make up 60% of the MSNBC audience.
Women make up nearly 2/3 to 3/4 of the television news audience, depending on the city and time of day
Heretics
The future of news will not be decided by those who follow the old rules of yellow journalism and corporate directorships. It will be decided by heretics who look at the status quo, are not satisfied with being another sheep, and decide to bring change to the world, as pointed out by Godin.
Matt Drudge touched on the importance of people becoming unwilling to accept the terms commanded to us by the elite in an interview with Alex Jones in October 2015.
In the beginning they were dismissing the Internet.
That being said, people are willing to be made over in the image of these corporations. The reason there’s so much anger online is a newspaper like the Washington Post will leave a comment section. They don’t care what you’re saying. They don’t care what you’re thinking. That’s why you get this anger, that…I’m operating in their playground.
Make your own playground! The reason I’m here, Alex, is because you’ve made your own playground. This is a figment of your imagination, and the Drudge Report is mine. It is a very simple thesis; you are what you dream you are and become. And, I wish Americans would get out of the sickness and just become greater.
Drudge also touched on why the internet should be alive and controversial in the interests of free speech and overall freedom.
There’s no difference from any of these websites! You go up and down. We talk about this. What’s the difference between the websites? Between a Slate or a Salon, or a Buzzfeed, or a HuffPo? What is the difference! There isn’t any! And, this is a travesty. It’s so much like, it’s almost like a weird conglomerate of groupthink that has developed in a dynamic era that should be vibrating. It should be vibrating. It should be controversial.
Seth Godin says the new communication model looks like this; if you don’t like the status quo form your own tribe or join another tribe and challenge it
The good news is, the end of the era of the gatekeepers of information is presenting a real threat to the global power structure. The corporate, neoliberal, globalist, Socialist hivemind is beginning to lose its grip on American society. And I, for one, say good riddance once and for all!
However, before we celebrate, there is much more work to be done. As Drudge says, there is still way too much plain vanilla corporate-approved SJW, neoliberal, and globalist propaganda flowing around the Internet. Also, realize forces are at work now to eliminate the unfettered freedom of speech we now enjoy on the internet. Persistence, vigilance, and defiance are the prices we must pay to ensure the continued free flow of ideas and information and to make lasting change to society.
The dam broke with the rise of the internet, and the stranglehold on information and ideas got washed away with it. We have more potential to permanently dismantle the machine than we have ever realized before in human history. Let us make good use of it.

Them Jews man.
You suck dude. I was about 1/3 into reading this article when I planned on making random, spurious jews comment….
The Jew’s hold all the kratom reserves too.
Don’t know about that. But what I heard is that they’ll never let you see inside fort knox because there’s no actual kratom there
“The Jew’s hold all the kratom reserves too.”
Oh shit, now we’re really fucked.
Just like the gold standard I guess the kratom standard has been gone for awhile
Kratom produced by Jew women getting it on with their dogs, right? 😛
I hope you were here for the dog post otherwise this comment seems awful.
kratom will always be the world’s only true reserve currency
The KraStan is here to stay. I would bet you a million kratoms
It’s not a party until we rag on the kike vermin
It’s like ragging on kratom only not as funny
Going to marry one and write an article about how my wife has manipulated all world events since the birth of Christ
So if you marry a Jew they are allowed to let you in on all their inner workings? Stay safe….sounds like they might put a hit out on you.
Well I’m marrying for more than just acceptance into a group seeking world domination. I also like big tits, big noses , and Reuben’s
Reubens ARE really good.
Like everything else, only if you’ve got quality ingredients to start with. That’s almost enough to make me move to NYC… OK, maybe not.
Jewbens
Idk why but I love me some big noses
“I also like big tits, big noses , and Reuben’s”
Are you talking about about Peter Paul Reubens the painter?
That woman’s vagina was a reuban
Got it… thanks.
Just look at that… BACK! So full of muscles!
He must smoke kratom.
Real men inject Kratom into their eyes.
My sister and I both married Jews. Be aware that they’ll know ahead of time that you’re not Jewish. But if you get into a situation where they don’t know, they’ll feel free to talk openly and you’ll hear some crazy stuff. There definitely is a hive mind going on accross the globe and they regard the rest of us as potential slaves. I couldn’t stomach “Curb Your Enthusiasm” when I used to watch T.V. But if you do, all the back-stabbing, cheating, adultery, etc. is real That guy only wrote what life is actually like as a Jew.
There was an episode of x files based totally on the cigarette smoking man and how he was involved in ever single government coverup. Kind of reminds me of how the Jew blamers are.
Taste great! Less filling! Jewish binary.
How may senators were at the last AIPAC meeting? How many Congressmen?
“It was probably the Jews…” has become a meme, because if you actually look a Jew is usually involved so often you’re right more often than you’re wrong.
No one seriously thinks the Jews have been involved in every anti-white conspiracy… or that they’ve been behind every anti-white media hit piece… but for being only 2% of the world population they’ve been so vastly overrepresented in them to such a wide margin that it’s foolish to keep ignoring it as coincidence.
Kind of like how it’s a meme that every time the media reports a horrible crime and coincidentally forgets to mention the race of the attacker… if you guess the criminal was black, you’re going to be right vastly more often than you’re wrong.
Liberals have this curious fear of anyone who’s able to recognize patterns.
I can’t disagree with you here for the most part with the exception that there are the tin foil hat looney folk who do think the jews are behind everything, twirling mustaches or funny side burns or whatever evil villains choose to twirl now adays.
As for noticing patterns, you are correct there as well. Unfortunately, many people, possibly yourself here, are only noticing a single pattern and not allowing for the complexity that is the world.
Jews are disproportionately represented, as you say. This is not up for dispute. The reason why and the out come of, however, are pure conjecture.
When I was a kid I was on a little leauge softball team and a pop warner football team. During that time after school the jewish kids were going to temple to learn fucking hebrew and read, interpret and question thousand year old texts.
My friend Pete’s dad was a carpenter and coached the little leauge team and gave pete shit when he struck out. The Jewish kids parent’s were educated and encouraged them to read and study and practice math and got on their cases if they got anything less than an A-. Then those jewish kids wind up going to better colleges and getting jobs with a disproportionate amount of influence in society and as a whole they control a disproportionate amount of wealth.
They tend to give the leg up to other jews who had similar life styles, similar experiences and similar backgrounds.
Conclusion that is being drawn: global conspiracy.
Suggesting that not seeing a nefarious global conspiracy rather than a small minority which is prioritizing education and financial success over everything else succeeding disproportionate over a majority that does not do this, to me, would be the very definition of not recognizing patterns.
I am sure there are plenty of real cocksucker hymie cunts who are thoroughly unscrupulous in business…I have no doubt…but not more, I would say, than any other group or sub group.
It seems to me an excuse of people to point at another culture and cry “that’s why” instead of looking internally at what errors might be fixed for the next generatino.
The part here that is frightening is that a lot of this builds on the poverty a lot of urban jews saw some 80-100 years ago when first getting to this country. They beat their kids into being lawyers and doctors while they drove cabs and worked all manner of shitty jobs for like 900 hours a day. This is not dissimilar to what pakistani’s are doing now. If you want to take a look into the future about 75 years take a look at where modern urban Hebe’s are and replace them with Pakis.
No. The Jews do not get to hide behind “well, we’re just better than you goy… that’s why we run everything” when the same Jew is the one actively and aggressively attacking whites for not giving overwhelming favor to the blacks – who underperform in every one of these categories.
Nepotism being good if you’re a Jew but raycisms if you’re white – so sayeth the Jew. Now we need to put an end to whiteness, goy! :^)
It is not totally untrue, but it is far too simple and shallow of an explanation. It has nothing to do with who is better and who is worse. It doesn’t matter what your race, religion or ethnicity is. If you are brought up, from day one, in a family that puts all of its emphasis on education and financial success you will, shockingly, be more likely to be better educated and make more money then someone who is brought up into a family that puts its emphasis on, say, athletics or art or racing cars.
As for aggressively attacking whites for not giving overwhelming favor to blacks (and I would add women and fags here as well) this is a byproduct of a liberalism that comes from wealth and is despicable and deplorable. We see it in plenty of Kennedy’s, the current mayor of New York, Bill Gates, the guy from apple and people like Warren Buffet just as we see it from jews.
The wealth breeds a kind of absurd liberalism that winds up resulting in the stuff you (correctly) point out. I don’t know why. Probably to assuage some guilt. Probably, also, from some form of arrogance. It is bad and it is dangerous and it is literally 0% related to religion or culture.
Instead of pointing out a group of people to blame why not sack up, figure out how to succeed and then make some positive steps in that direction. Not only will you be correct, but it will have the added benefit of actually having a chance to have positive results.
… and if you just happen to do all that and a Jew, you’ll be even more successful.
Then when people call you out on how overwhelmingly Jewish these fields are… they line up and coo “why, you’re right. There are far too many WHITE people like US in these fields. We must do more to fix that…”
“You just need to WORK HARDER goy, and you can be just as successful as us!” :^)
I am sure some do.
Others do not.
The idea that it is a global conspiracy and not just some of them being cunts is where I have an issue.
It’s an overwhelming number of them being cunts… who just coincidentally happen to have a majority control of every mass media platform and new station, television, hollywood, and banking.
… ones we aren’t allowed to talk about.
… ones who constantly attack whites.
…. ones who deliberately lie and misinform the public every time one of Obama’s sons gets caught robbing a liquor store with a loaded gun to create even further racial unrest.
But yeah. #NotAllJews
I could not agree more with this interpretation of how the Jews have gotten to where they are. Thank you for expanding on this issue.
I’ve known a lot of Jews, and the problem is that they resist assimiliation into the culture norms where they live. In a society where business has a trust element to it, they’ll screw you. You’ll say it’s cheating, they’ll says they’re smarter. And etc. Are they evil, yeah, depending on how they behave. Note that in the old days the mafia hired the Jewish Murder Incorporated to do the worst, most terrible things that other people wouldn’t do. Even to this day Murder Incorporated did stuff that’ll boggle your mind.
There is the rub. There is absolutely nothing wrong with resisting assimilation. Everyone should be allowed to celebrate their unique culture. Every race should be allowed to have a country they call their own.
The Jews do. The Jews have Israel. The Jews promote only marrying other Jews instead of mingling with the goy. The Jews promote only dating other Jews instead of interraccial dating. The Jews refuse open immigration inside their walled city. The Jew is the opposite of everything they demand of others…
The problem with the Jew is they’ll demand that white Europeans, and ONLY whites, be forced to do everything they refuse to do.
Black nations are never told they need to include more whites and asians. Black nations are never told they need to “end blackness.” Black clubs and black businesses are never told they need to diversify. It’s impossible for a company to hire too many blacks. If a black owner wants to hire only black employees, the Jew celebrates it. But if a white-majority company in a white-majority country doesn’t have have a high enough percentage of minority hires they will destroy you! You’re racist! Bigoted! Sexist! You must diversify, goy! :^)
Only the whites have been demanded to give up their cultures and their solidarity… and it’s the Jew that has been pushing those attacks.
Agreed. It’s no coincidence that the promoters of rap music, and every other form of black “self expression” that’s destructive, are Jews. And their target audience is always young whites. They have an agenda to water down and destroy the identity of white people. For two thousand years they’ve refused to assimilate into the cultures of the countries they’ve lived in. But they did sit back and observe the cultural norms of those countries and figure out how to profit and capitalize on them. So they know more about how white people, black people, indians, etc. think and behave than they themselves do. Control the frame and social arguments, and you control the people. That’s what they’re doing.
Investigating and not shying away from confronting harsh truths is some of the key tenets to ‘Red pill’ philosophy. It is one thing to be completely ignorant of the Jewish/Zionist influence on civilizations decline but to consistently undermine and feel threatened by those that would question or critique makes me wonder what they are trying to protect.
The problem is that we’ve exchanged one set of elite gatekeepers (legacy broadcast media) for another (Zuckerberg and the other proglodytes who control Silicon Valley).
Until the tech to set up home brew darknets or whatever becomes easily digestible to the average non-techie, we’ll continue to see elites controlling the message. Facebook/Germany is just one example.
They say all roads lead to Rome. If you follow that road to the end…
YOU ARE FUCKING IN ROME.
It is not complicated.
The Jews in the media are controlling the narrative and framing the arguments.
Don’t forget the germanic tribes weren’t technically “invading” Rome. They were going there to “benefit” from their culture.
…I don’t think it’s the “Jews”, frankly…
Just a bunch of SJW, Feminists and Progressives.
Not sure why “Jews” get blamed for things like this.
Sorry, not trying to start up, just saying.
Because a bunch of people in high positions are undeniably Zionist Jews. A disproportionate amount.
And also that they’ve done the same thing since the times of Nero. It’s only been since the supposed “Holocaust” that they’ve gone behind the scenes in their attempts to control other people’s and nationalities.
“The dam broke with the rise of the internet, and the stranglehold on information and ideas got washed away with it” Does this not disprove in part the notion of a global elite running our planet? How could they have left such an obvious threat take off in the first place like the internet?
They miscalculated and didn’t see it to be a threat. They probably thought the sheeples would’ve been so brainwashed to even think differently.
Now they’re doing damage control and failing.
“brainwashed to even think differently.Now they’re doing damage control and failing.”
That remains to be seen. I still see to many masses being asses, either being stupid or simply putting their hands on their ears not wanting to hear of anything red pill.
The funny thing about trying to convince the masses against the narrative is that you then become an outsider, a non-believer and will be vilified by the mainstream. It’s almost like in the dark ages when you question the church and you would’ve committed blasphemy and put to death.
Well…so what are we to do ?
You’re not going to convince the masses in one day or year. It can take years, even generations. You can drop red pill knowledge to individuals in your group one by one. If they’re smart enough to understand, they then can help spread the word. Cite examples to support your point of view and let them see. You may lose friends to the collective Borg in the process. You’ll just have to accept that those are the sheeps.
Dropping red pill knowledge only goes so far. The human mind as well as the body is designed to work against the rational mind and soul. After a mid night sleep, everything I tell a guy will be washed away with media detergents. Websites, blogs, books, projects are in need here. Dropping red pill is insufficient. We need to show them the way and wake them the fuck up. Nobody wakes up from the blue pill without a shock.
I feel like we should have an article like the chapelle show skit “ask a black guy ” with Paul Mooney but instead “ask a Jew “
Tom Leykis does “Ask A Homo” on his show on occasion and its HILARIOUS
Cut the cable.
I refuse to continually fund the degenerate message of the news and Hollywood elite.
I’ve been pretty depressed recently. I hate where we are as a society, this divided nation hobbling through a phony economic recovery like a wounded animal. I can’t stand the relatively slow, but sure decline that we are experiencing. I’ve concluded that economic and cultural liberalism has to completely fail before being wiped out-we simply can’t get rid of it through information and logical arguments.
But what if it doesn’t outright fail in the near future? What if the US becomes a carbon copy of Sweden? What if the US becomes a country where the native male population is replaced by immigrants and reproduction is replaced by the state, all generously funded by an oppressive tax regime on productive males. I could literally become a slave to the liberal multiculturalism matriarchy.
I hope Trump can turn us around economically so I can at least stack enough money to bounce, but if not, I hope we fail hard and fast. I don’t think I can handle the matrix much longer.
Read “Enjoy the Decline”. It won’t cheer you up, but it will help you realize what is important and what isn’t. You can’t change the world and while Trump might help, he can’t fix the root causes either. You can only affect your life and those of your family and friends, so do that instead.
Very solid advice. It is good to take a step back from any/all information that doesn’t apply to you directly from time to time.
I share your grief, the future looks depressing at times. I wish there was a traditionalist movement men like us could join. Who knows, maybe Trump will be a spark that will ignite a flame. Divided we fall.
Good advice about cutting the cable. I have not had a TV in my home since leaving the U.S. and do not plan on having one, ever. Anything I need to know I can find out online from better, more in-depth sources on my tablet, phone, and PC. I was never big on living vicariously through movies like most Americans do. That wasted time can be spent living my own exciting life instead of watching someone else pretend to be living an exciting one.
And, I have a 4-6 hour longer day than the average television viewer to do other more important things…like start a family, cook, exercise, stroll the beach, talk to friends, write, read…etc. In other words things that make me into a better man rather than a better consumer.
I agree with your sentiments about the state forcing men to fund their own replacements. I am working on some ideas about what can be done, and at this point it looks as though civil disobedience, refusing to play along with the system and refusing to let it take advantage is the best way to go. Unplug from their Matrix at any cost. At my site I am currently working on shining light into every place I can shine it, turning over rocks to show people what is slithering underneath the government power structure in the West and in the corporations that use politicians to do their bidding like the cheap prostitutes they are. It will take time for me complete the first phase. Phase two will be what we can do to make change.
I think #1 the idea of the corporation has to go for the betterment of society. A truly free market (not the corporatocracy we have now) is needed. This keeps financial power from amassing in too few hands. Since all power ultimately stems from financial power, this would help immensely. Second, the government must be trimmed – revolutionarily – to eliminate the political parasites that have helped grow it exponentially. Third, a tireless pushback against feminism, consumerism, and liberalism must be mounted.
Right on. Recently read this article suggesting working to spend 80% of your time being a producer and only 20% being a consumer. http://illimitablemen.com/2016/02/28/champions-mentality-how-to-stop-being-a-loser-become-epic/
Good read.
I just went to your site and saw the article with the quote from Bernie Sanders: “When you’re white you don’t know what it’s like to be living in a ghetto. You don’t know what it’s like to be poor.”
Unfuckingbelievable. Apparently blacks who live in ghettos are the only people who have been poor throughout the complete history of the world. Just shows you how elites like Sanders try to maintain a monopoly on words so they can rouse victim groups in order to benefit themselves.
Never trust someone claiming lampshades in their ancestry.
Ditto!
I was depressed until I moved into the countryside. Away from the distractions of city life, people realize what is important (tending to be conservatives). But they also are not zealots, so they will not act until something happens in their proverbial backyard. Then… well… if some of the things in Europe happened in my neck of the woods, there’d probably be a lynch mob. And this is in Dirty Bernie’s state, too. Supposedly the poster child for libertardism.
From my somewhat limited study of declines (been meaning to brush up on my history), I’ve noticed the rural areas of the declined empires don’t experience much of a lifestyle shift from pre and post decline.
Failing that, we can all grab our rifles and get to work.
The elitists see the mouth of a big BAG opening before them. They’ll BE BAGGED soon and that’s why they’re panicking. They’ll pull the most severe shit and stir for sucker punch was just like an entitled cunt does when she’s been busted cold. The matrix manipulator elitists are collectively A BIG SCORNED WOMAN. Here on ROK we’ve deconstructed the female nature on an individual scale. Bagging and marshalling the BIG BEAST BITCH WOMAN that is the power elite will be trumped in the same way that an individual raging cunt gets herself bagged and damage control is implemented. WE’VE cracked the master cunt code here. ”’Once you know small, you know ’em all” . . The great cunt will be roped and hogtied once and for all. . BAGGED!! . . ding ding ding
History has always been written by the victors. The internet has helped change that with a massive dissemination of ideas. The puppeteers are scared, and so seek to crush any semblance of resistance to their agenda. Hell, not conforming to group-think is considered a psychosis now.
The Wachowski brothers, now both apparently “transgender,” changed our consciousness by introducing the metaphor of the Red Pill versus the Blue Pill back in 1999.
Too bad they are now faggots.
“Too bad they are now faggots”
What are they dating each other too? Weird. The Matrix is one of the few red pill flicks, directed by two freakizoids.
It’s funny, Caitlyn Jenner emphatically says s/he isn’t gay. But now s/he’s dating another transgender “woman.” So Caitlyn Jenner, a man in a dress with a dick, who supposedly isn’t gay, is dating another man in a dress with a dick. So does that mean that they’re both lesbians? Lesbian’s with dicks? But if Caitlyn Jenner was really a woman trapped in a man’s body all of its life, and was attracted to women, then that would make her an actual lesbian and therefore gay, right? That’s if he was always really a “she” in its heart or whatever. Or if you believe like I do, that Caitlyn Jenner is just a man in a dress with a dick, and her new boyfriend is the same, then that means he’s always been gay.
Caitlyn Jenner wants to educate presidential Ted Cruz on transgender issues. Hopefully Ted Cruz can get a grasp on these “important” issues affecting our nation before Caitlyn Jenner blows his brains out due to the mental illness s/he/it is clearly suffering from.
Welcome to the world of today. Much simpler just to call them all faggots.
faggots are what they are, alright.
although i think we should call them by a new term me and my brother just came up with – Diversitards
“What are they dating each other too? Weird. The Matrix is one of the few red pill flicks, directed by two freakizoids.”
In the end, there’s only Orthodoxy versus the world (whose prince/god is Satan).
The only “red pill” that frees you is the Lord Jesus, anything else is “blue pill,” where you belong to the Enemy by default. Thus, the Matrix was blue pill like the Wachowski brothers and Hollywood in general.
these ones would be diversitrannies actually
Tells you ALL you need to know about Ted Cruz if you ask me…..
Dude is suffering from low t.
From pole vaulting to vaulting poles.
What the fuck… Look, if you want to cut your dick off or tattoo your face, be my fucking guest. But these people are freaks and should be treated as freaks. Not as “heros” and “role models”.
LOL, that was good. But yeah if the above is true, the Bruce is just a fag. Which begs the question if you have a dick and you like things in dresses why don’t you like girls? I really wonder what has made that guy so mentally ill…
Looks like they took the blue pill
both of them! How bizarre. So, given a choice between the red pill and the blue pill, they both took a pink one.
Yeah they introduced it, but ripped off the story.
Both? Great now the SJWs are going to be pushing the “hereditary” trope even harder.
saw that yesterday. Seems that is something is wrong at biological level with these two.
News media was never really neutral, but to me it feels that in recent years, they are lying more than usual to push their SJW narrative.
That’s great news! Western society might have a chance but for now my home just like Roosh, is the East!
I’m curious why it’s always junk click-bait ads on RoK.
gotta pay the bills man. what do u expect
It’s only click bait if you actually click.
They keep the lights on.
Respect. You could also try targeted advertising for products or services the men in this community would be apt to buy. It would improve your click-through and conversion rates.
evening news is boring as fuck and so biased it’s pathetic. only old boomers blindly believe whatever they’re told. ‘oh no a child was abducted! how sad’. it’s the same shit every day idk why anyone would even bother watching that shit. Watching old people huddle around the evening news is pathetic.
I could handle if not so biased but don’t so I guess they are stuck with the old fucks.
The news is pre-fabricated and decided as a group before it is reported. It is designed to get people pissed in a certain direction. Go against the grain and you are either ignored or damnatio memoriae is in effect.
Dont believe anything in the media.
The moment anyone quotes “Pulizter-prize winning journalist Chris Hedges” is the moment the wheels go off the article as it skids into oblivion. The man is an outed plagiarist hack & fraud, anti-Semitic apologist for Islamic terrorism everywhere. His propaganda over the Israel/Gaza dispute and his smear campaign over legitimate geniuses like Christopher Hitchens & Sam Harris rendered this man a national joke.
Do some better research.
Something interesting about Hedges: “Hedges was an early critic of the Iraq War. In May 2003, Hedges delivered a commencement address at Rockford College in Rockford, Illinois, saying: ‘We are embarking on an occupation that, if history is any guide, will be as damaging to our souls as it will be to our prestige and power and security.’ His speech was received with boos and his microphone was shut off three minutes after he began speaking.”
That alone earns him some respect in my book, even if his views are left of mine. It reminds me of a Mark Twain quote:
“In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.”
I think you need to do some research. When you can actually see both sides of the debate, it is a lot harder to write up the MSM talking points above. Your whole rant can be summed up with “I don’t like what he [Hedges] said.” I don’t believe Hedges is a saint, but he truly is one of the last journalists out there with some vestige of personal integrity and the gonads to stand by what he prints. If you can find proof against this, and not a personal opinion rant, I would gladly welcome the information you can provide.
Just after reading comments, couple things…
Corporations are just successful businesses. I think once a level of success is reached they often just lose their original purpose to a degree (depending on field I guess).
Google seems the least prone, but I haven’t been paying too much attention. They still seem at least to still be a little out there doing new shit. While Facebook/Zuckerberg, who was a bit of rebel/the counter culture at the outset, has now, by trying to be everything to everyone, become part of the problem.
So to me the problems with just about any organisation, wether it is a business or a movement, is wanting to maintain growth, because at some stage you’re going to reach a critical mass and the original purpose will become diluted.
A strict standard needs to be set for addition to/inclusion into or there will be dissent at some stage. A medium business going to enterprise level needs investors, but for them return is most important, not necessarily the mission statement that you set at the start out. Suddenly you are making compromises to please investors, boom, just another faceless corp.
Standards, willing to take losses and no fear of opposition to your position is what’s needed, but the chase for the dollar makes ppl lose their spine.
People wish they were like that, that’s why it’s so easy for things to be glamorised in TV/Movies (even ‘bad’ elements like bikie gangs), people wish they had the balls to live on their own terms.
who wants to watch SJW every night?
back in the days, news were constructed by some to promote control and disinformation on people. Now, news are ALSO constructed by many to promote stupidity and selfcenterness among people.
Nowadays, any stupid motherfucker could share his mental insanity with the entire world, thus reaching another motherfuckers who think in the same way, thus, contributing to the rise of screaming minorities of all sorts.
That’s no surprise that internet contributed to the rise of feminism, whiteknighting, manginess, betaness, sjw and all that bullshit.
Bang on target bro. On the flipside, the ever lovable Internet is also responsible for spreading and disseminating red pill ideas. It’ll be a cold day in hell before Main Stream Maggots ever discuss about genuine problems faced by men. There’s pros and cons to everything and that applies to IT as well
you’re right. Fortunatly we could use IT to promote our views too. We’re a minority among minorities, for the moment, hope that one day, it’ll change !
Most people SAY they don’t trust the media, but then turn around and believe everything these left wing diversitards tell them to.
I guess they figure someone would call them on it if they were wrong, so they sit there and listen to people say 1 in 3 women are raped, and other obvious lies like that, and never bat an eyelid.
We have a long way to go I think…
Brilliant article, Relampago.
Down here in Aus, someone asked me the other day why all these supposedly ‘crazy and stupid’ Americans were voting for Trump instead of Hilary, after all the horrible things that have been reported about him. I told him it’s because they’ve woken up and realised that they’re being lied to. And then I asked him; ‘why are we only hearing horrible things about Trump and no-one else?’, and after a few seconds of blank stare, I told him; ‘because they’re afraid of him, and they can’t control him because he doesn’t depend on them,’
Then I showed him the ’13 minutes of Hilary Clinton lying’ video on YouTube, explained the concept of superdelegates in American elections, and watched his tiny mind boggle at the fact she shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near an election, and just how much the media, even all the way down here, lies about absolutely everything.
I’ll be checking back in with him later to see which colour pill he chose.
Like a BOSS.
The Sheep here in Oz are soooooo far gone its sadly hilarious.
I was at a Wedding on the South Coast last weekend, around “Highly educated” folks, Doctors, Lawyers, Defence Force Officers, former Wallabies to name a few, and they were HORRIFIED at my assertion that not only would Trump be President, but that he WILL make America great again.
And that that will inturn kick off other Nationalist Movements in other Countries thoughout the Western World, create a new renaissance, and be rid of this Globalist Garbage once of for all.
Their reaction was priceless.
Shock, bemusement, interest (on the down low) but mainly outrage that parroted EXACTLY the MSM Narrative.
I argured my points consistently, correctly, and with great vigour.
Didnt matter to them that i was right given my vast knowledge of American History, Culture, Politics and Geo Politics.
What mattered to them, wass that i wasnt “Politically Correct”
Thats Australia for you.
The worlds largest Vagina.
I had a conversation exactly like this with a very loud American democrat in the hostel I was staying in in Osaka Japan. Spouted off verbatim the MSM talking points on just about every possible topic you could think of bringing up. When I mentioned I had different views on 9/11 and others issues, he asked what they were. I politely gave him my view with facts (two buildings come down at the exact same speed and time that is equivalent to the speed of gravity in freefall)… and… I am not shitting you… his response eventually was…
“WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE!!!”
To which I replied… “What it are you talking about? Facts? Truth?”
Then I laughed and said you must be a Clinton supporter and walked out of the room after he called me an asshole. I could simply not believe what I just encountered and it gave me greater insight into what is going on in America today with this Trump “division” that is happening right now. It is literally a contest between the sane and the insane.
The Sheeple very much prefer comforting lies to the uncomfortable truth.
I’m British, so I can’t vote in U.S. elections (of course), but while I am no fan of Donald Trump, it’s my belief that Hillary is outright DANGEROUS!
Look at the constitutional, legal, civil and human rights men have lost, in the U.S. (and in the West, in general). Now look at Hillary Clinton. She is a confirmed man-hater and confirmed feminist. You folks in the U.S. go ahead and vote for Clinton…!
And mark my word, if you do so, what few rights American men still have left will be gone within a year, if not sooner..!
I know a U.S. president can’t willy-nilly write and pass laws on his/her own, but you and I ALL know, that she will be more than happy to sign any anti-male laws (like Manspreading) that feminists and feminist members of the U.S. government want her to sign.
No…, I don’t fancy Mr. Trump, that much. But he is LEAGUES more desirable than Clinton, any day! I rather don’t believe that Trump will, if elected, literally and willfully work to strip any Americans of their constitutional, legal, civil and human rights.
But Clinton…? You bet your arse she will!

Sorry…
I just don’t share in the “Jew” hatred.
I’ll go elsewhere.
TOODLES..!
Why is the Jew held so sanctimoniously and beyond reproach. Go have a look at the ADL website. Why are there so many Jewish groups like them that hold so much influence over the rest of us when they really only serve self interest. If you cant see this then you are either an indoctrinated fool or one of their zealots. I just don’t share in the “Non Jew” hatred, toodles.
No, I actually do understand your point.
And I might even agree with you TO a point.
Can Jews do things wrong? Yes, of course they can. DO Jews do things wrong? Yes, of course they do. Who doesn’t do things wrong, at times? We all do, regardless of whatever demographic we belong to.
As to your (reasonable) question: “Why is the Jew held so sanctimoniously and beyond reproach?”, I imagine it’s a carry over from the Nazi’s persecution and attempted annihilation of the Jewish people that make many others want to be cautious when blaming Jewish people for things. Rightly or wrongly, I do believe that is a factor, if not THE factor in this phenomenon.
Should Jews be held accountable, when they do wrong? Yes… They should. But that is only IF they do wrong. The problem I have is holding Jews accountable for things they do not do, and blaming them for things simply because they are Jews.
This reminds me, very much, of the Feminist habit of blaming MEN for every little thing wrong, in the world.
If you notice, feminists do precisely the same thing with MEN, that many others do with Jews. Instead of a “Jewish Conspiracy”, Feminists have the (imaginary) “Patriarchy” to blame for all their woes, and failures.
Just as the Nazis did to the jews, Feminists, likewise advocate for the annihilation or the “controlling” of men.
I mean the parallels are STARTLING..!
Okay, maybe Jews have become like the Feminists, where they are nothing more than a self serving ‘organization’, I don’t know.
Maybe I should have been less preachy, and said that, in place of what I originally said.
But I still contend that humanity has this nasty habit of blaming whatever group they dislike for all the woes of the world.
Many innocent people end up harmed in some ways at best, and KILLED at worst, when this mentality is allowed to go unchallenged.
That’s all I want to say.
Ignoring your Nazi BS since the world happily ignores the Jewish persecution of Palestinians, the clusterfuck they have made out of the middle east and the Slavic blood on their hands from past. You like many others that are ignorant of real history will absolve them of all crimes simply because of the inescapable ‘Holocaust’ indoctrination you have been subjected to since youth.
Reminds you of Feminism you say? The thing is their is strong correlation and examples of Jewish/Zionist treachery to humanity with a long history of hyper ethnocentrism that works to usurp other groups well before World war 2. Where as Feminism (A strongly Jewish founded and supported idealism) is based on relativism.
I never said that Jewish people do no wrong..!
(0_o)
I said……..
…You know what? Never mind, okay?
Hate whomever you want, for whatever reasons you want!
Everyone complains about “Hate” but everyone wants to cling to their own “Hate”.
Fine, whatever..!
*throws up her hands and walks away*
Right, so defending yourself or exposing those that would subjugate you is considered “Hate” by your logic.
Right, so defending yourself or exposing those that would subjugate you is “Hate” by your logic.
I think its more a case of your programming being triggered whenever “the chosen people” are criticised.
Drago…
Please read the words I TYPE. Not the ones you want to put in my mouth.
“Hate whomever you want, for whatever reasons you want!” deceptively implies I’m spouting hatred and without any valid reason. A cheap attempt to hold the moral high ground.
No one is putting words in your mouth. You are just ignoring my argument and defaulting to victim.
Well. Do you or do you not hate Jews?
You seem to want to blame them for everything, by and large.
I guess that doesn’t necessarily mean you “hate” them, but it does seem to indicate you have something of a problem with them, on whatever level.
Nice loaded question. I tire of your deliberate logical fallacies and obtuseness but I will entertain this one more time.
If you can derive ‘Hate’ or “blaming Jews for everything” from a cartoon that depicts one of many influential Jewish organisations the ADL, lobbying for control of speech over citizens to push their own tribes interests disguised as altruism (which it in actual fact does) Then as I said earlier. You are either an indoctrinated fool or one of their zealots.
If you are the former then perhaps there is hope for you if you open your mind. Perhaps here would be a good place to start your own investigation. http://www.returnofkings.com/62716/the-damaging-effects-of-jewish-intellectualism-and-activism-on-western-culture
Alright. My mind is open, and I will follow your link. (thank you).
…In a way, I’m almost afraid of what I’m about to see. But, okay. I’ll give it a look.
“Their disproportionate participation in communism, Marxism, and socialism”
Okay… I do definitely see evidence of this.
Alright, Drago.., You’ve given me some things to think about, I have to admit.
I’ll look into it further, but if it’s all, or even partially true… Then maybe I (and others) really have been played for fools.
I’m going to have to consider that as a possibility, whether I like it or not.
Thank you, in any case.
Some 71% agree that the government should work to ensure that everyone has a job.
75% agree that the government should work to reduce the income gap between rich and poor.
How is this leftist? if you cling to some antiquated notion that the richest people in America are so rich because they earned their money through honest hard work and talent you are as delusional as the leftists you criticize. And whats wrong with trying to put people to work? People need jobs to earn money, have a home, and be productive members of society. Are you, the author of this article, suggesting that America would be better with more homeless people and an increased wealth gap? That’s what third world garbage countries look like.
The 75% that want gov to do something about income inequality are people who earn incomes that are very unequal! How much do you think piers Morgan or Rachel manwannabedyk makes? That’s the problem.
So what? I don’t see how that is a progressive ideal. The elitists have fooled conservatives in to thinking that demanding a market economy where the rish can also lose money. Now they get rich and the poor get poorer and the middle class get poorer too
Good criticism, and I get your point. But the government can only use taxation and force to accomplish these aims. Usually, talk about reducing the gap between the rich and the poor leads to socialism. Just as the welfare state was dreamed up in 1960s as part of LBJ’s Great Society as an effort eradicate poverty but has instead created a permanent underclass, government programs usually accomplish the opposite of their intended aims.
Awesome article! Just what I’ve been talking about. One of the if not the biggest issues at present is to keep the Internet free. So long as it does, we have an excellent chance at things. As for Neomasculinity, it will rise and go mainstream and impact the zeitgeist. Because it’s the truth and great idea desperately needed and the means to transmit it via the web are all there.
I think we have the news part of the media very well disrupted. There still is a long way to go, for instance, cnn or abc etc have NO business hosting presidential debates. A new venue is over due. The part of the media that we should also focus on is the cultural part. Entertainment. It’s never been easier or even possible to be a citizen journalists but today you can and you can also be a citizen producer and director. There is NO reason why we can’t have a conservative cultural renaissance.
“If you don’t like the status quo form your own tribe or join another tribe & challenge it.” That’s why I love coming here after work & hearing from all of you fine gentleman. Good honest political discourse, though we’re pretty much all on the same page. Sometimes I wish we weren’t confined to ROK, though. I was thinking it’d be really great if we could all get together in person for a few drinks, maybe a burger & discuss these topics monno e monno, sort of like a get-together or a meetup. Yeah, we could call it a tribal meetup!
You really haven’t been reading here, have you? You end up sounding like a troll…
Funny you mention about meeting up. That was what Roosh had planned for back on February 6. You know what happened, right?
Yes, I was being sarcastic. I was the set tribe leader for my area. Thought more of you would catch on.
Riiight. 14 comments total and everyone should realize you are a sarcastic leader. Thought you wouldn’t be so lame.
Good homework, Tooj. I deleted my account for a little while after shit hit the fan, as did many others. My original comment was meant in good humor. Take it or leave it. I’m not here for petty arguments. Have a good one.
I am not here for arguments of that nature either. After all the new accounts that felt the need to come “storm Roosh” I am sure you can understand my reaction. As for homework, there wasn’t any.
I dealt with little warriors in person in my area when the meetups were to go down. Let’s just say they weren’t quite as willing to “beat some @$$” as their groupthink led them to believe when a man stood up and said, “Let’s go.”
Haha, that’s awesome. Yeah, I scoured the internet after things started going south in Australia & discovered quite a bit of uprise in my area via Facebook. A group of guys were planning on showing up & beating us with tire irons or some nonsense. I looked into the mastermind who, by the way, was only gung-ho on kicking some “pro-rape” ass after he tagged nearly fifteen other guys in his call-to-arms post. Turns out, my right hand man knew him from back in the day & he’s nothing more than a drunken loser. All talk, just like the rest of them.
Exactly what I ran into. As a 55 year old grown man, twenty something band wagon babies are easy when you stand up and are very willing to “take things to the next level”. You see, I was very interested in who would show up since our meetup hit the local internet news site.
Let’s just say I made it crystalline clear I was not very happy to be labelled a “pro-rapist” as a father of four boys with four grandchildren. I love every girl those boys married and have three female grandchildren. I was not gentle nor kind in my speech. Triggered children went to find their safe spaces. Most mob “heroes” are that way.
Some good reads for anyone interested in diving into this topic further.

What Gutenberg’s printing press did for Europe in the 1400’s so too, will the Internet do for the West in the 21st Century [hopefully].
Buckle up Gents, its going to be one hell of a ride.
The only news I pay much attention to is local news. I Actually need to know what the weather will be like and what streets are being repaired.
I leave the TV on to fall asleep to, usually neglecting the timer; infomercials are easily slept through and make excellent white noise.
There might be a movie every couple of years I’m interested in seeing, but it usually turns out not to be worth it.
I live in the U.K. and we have to deal with pretty much the same bollocks, when it comes to the BBC.
I stopped watching television news and reading mainstream newspapers, a while back, now. The bias and agenda of mainstream media (news and even TV programing in general) is so blatantly obvious!
Boycott the telly, altogether, I say.
Interesting coincidence that the only year the news audience increased was… 1984.
Chomsky’s view that 9/11 wasn’t an inside job proves he’s really a redundant fool working for the evil empire.
Unfortunately as we see from the Twitter thought police and the Facebook-Anglea Merkel alliance, the ownership model is still with us. They moved on to modern platforms, but the elites are still attempting to limit thought and stifle dissent.
But are there enough Anita Sarkesians to go around? I’m thinking no….
