He’s not a gatekeeper

2018-12-03 18:04:15 UTC  

@Bjorn - MD oh totally. Like Nate I just wanna have a long chat. Someone anyone should be on his show. Even just a call in

2018-12-03 18:04:24 UTC  

I like Molyneux, though I he doesn't get everything right, he's a good guy imo

2018-12-03 18:04:48 UTC  

We at least have to pitch and give him contact info

2018-12-03 18:05:59 UTC  

I read a little book Molyneux put out, The Art of the Argument. Very good, solid read.

2018-12-03 18:06:04 UTC  

@VinceChaos Yeah, I *have* thought that we should call in to FDR (Freedomain Radio), though his assistant, Mike, is probably a pretty sharp screener, so we'd have to be one point.

2018-12-03 18:06:24 UTC  

@MrBland - VA Yeah, it's on my list, though who knows if I'll ever get that far, lol.

2018-12-03 18:06:52 UTC  

It's a short read, like maybe 1-2 sittings

2018-12-03 18:07:04 UTC  

But good solid advice.

2018-12-03 18:07:53 UTC  

@NateDahl76 @VinceChaos At the same time, though, I also worry that, by getting too close, we could start bringing the heat down on his channel, or even his private life (like what's happened with Tucker).

2018-12-03 18:08:39 UTC  

The latter, while obviously being undesirable, would probably only boost his and our profiles, but the former would definitely hurt the cause.

2018-12-03 18:08:52 UTC  

Simple answer to that, and something we’re quite good at. Opsec!

2018-12-03 18:09:26 UTC  

🕵

2018-12-03 18:09:41 UTC  

I think the heat on Tucker was nothing but a good thing.

2018-12-03 18:10:04 UTC  

It pushed him more right imo and made the opposition look bad.

2018-12-03 18:10:11 UTC  

We need more of that.

2018-12-03 18:11:06 UTC  

As far as the cause is concerned, yeah, but we're also lucky that the antifa were more of the noodle-armed variety, rather than angel dust-addled nutjobs.

2018-12-03 18:12:05 UTC  

As they escalate it pushes normies and government toward our side, my thoughts anyway.

2018-12-03 18:12:15 UTC  

For sure.

2018-12-03 18:12:40 UTC  

If we can peacefully trigger escalation, well...

2018-12-03 18:12:50 UTC  

lmao that prager video on Israel is pretty e 🅱 ic, "we need to spend more on israel" the guy also looks like Bibi

2018-12-03 18:13:07 UTC  

@MrBland - VA That's one of our raisons d'etre 😎

2018-12-03 18:13:38 UTC  

@fgtveassassin Yeah. They're breddy much doin' our work for us at this point.

2018-12-03 18:13:40 UTC  

Then all gung ho on Molyneux then 😉

2018-12-03 18:13:51 UTC  

😎

2018-12-03 18:13:56 UTC  

If we do nothing? We will regret it. I’d love to call in to the show

2018-12-03 18:14:35 UTC  

Yeah, I'm just being squishy and equivocating. Peaceful escalation is the name of the game.

“Satire requires a clarity of purpose and target lest it be mistaken for and contribute to that which it intends to criticize,” as the meme goes. There is a tendency to defend everything someone like Anglin does or says because of an ostensible framing of satire. But when your publications are a gyre of ironic/non-ironic/meta-ironic/post-ironic content its impossible to differentiate memes from actual opinion- and that’s not the job of the reader. He’s managed to make himself into an irony-poisoned boy-who-cried-wolf analogue and he has himself solely to blame if what was supposed to be taken as satire is not. There’s a tendency in the “wider movement” to be unequivocally opposed to everything that comes out of the mouth of someone who isn’t a complete ideological analogue, which I think is harmful. Case in point, “the left” voices concern about rape or something and we get a (mercifully small) number of people who completely lose it and come up with “white sharia.” If someone with bangs says something about the need for Braille signs you get some autist in the YouTube comment section stating how we need to euthanize blind people or something. It’s the most mindless, miserable thing. “If they’re going to call you a monster might as well be one lmao lol!” is an attitude that has led to nothing but strife and I won’t associate with anyone who thinks along those lines. You shouldn’t either.

2018-12-03 18:16:25 UTC  

the pragerU fallout is wonderful

2018-12-03 18:17:42 UTC  

I wouldn’t call into Moly. Waaay too public

2018-12-03 18:17:55 UTC  

If he’s put on the spot, he’d probably rebuke us

2018-12-03 18:18:01 UTC  

@ophiuchus I'm going to be dense here, is there a particular group/person that post was focused on?

2018-12-03 18:18:14 UTC  

Oh gawd Prager that looks like a Torah, I would hope you're not spreading anti-semetic propaganda

2018-12-03 18:18:30 UTC  

@MrBland - VA no, just my piece on Anglin in general

2018-12-03 18:22:00 UTC  

@NateDahl76 Moly would do his whole "collectivism and identity politics are bad like Communism" bit.

2018-12-03 18:22:17 UTC  

the youtube comments are awesome, but ofc the facebook boomerposts consist of "God blesses those who bless israel" 😒

2018-12-03 18:22:33 UTC  

screw our own nation and children, am i right?

2018-12-03 18:25:11 UTC  

I think that Alex Jones might actually be far more effective purely as a meme, while being unable to actually relay his "politics" to a large audience.

2018-12-03 18:26:33 UTC  

Everyone I know routinely says “globalist” now due to Alex Jone’s memeing

2018-12-03 18:27:08 UTC  

Of course it’s just in the sense of like “GLOBALIST PUBLIX IS OUT OF PASTA SAUCE” but still, meme’s out there now
