Yes---the execrable Chateau Heartiste is no more; joining The Daily Stormer, Alpha Game Plan, Return of Kings, and The Red Pill and INCEL Subreddits into long-overdue and well-deserved oblivion. The Chateau Heartiste probably did more damage, however, to the cause of men's rights than the aforementioned ones combined.
The Chateau was the brainchild of a NGO bureaucrat living inside the Beltway named Jim Weidmann. It's undergone many name-changes over the past 12 years or so, but the message was the same. Weidmann is a rabid White Supremacist, anti-Semite and anti-Christian, latent homosexual, and sleazy Pick-up Artist. He was a major force in co-opting the Manosphere and infecting the Alt-Right with his venom. Such Red Pill cultists and extremists as Dalrock, Vox Day, Roosh V, Andrew Anglin, Ricky Vaughn, Rollo Tomassi, and Matt Forney were all Chateau readers. Even Alex Jones penned a tribute to him.
A pair of Weidmann's imitators---bloggers Aeoli Pera and Captain Capitalism---announced that they are taking 'vacations' after the Heartiste ban. Just a coincidence, surely.
Wordpress hasn't issued any explanation for the ban, but this hasn't stopped anyone from claiming 'censorship' is at play here. I'm not sure why Conservatives miss this important point; but Wordpress and other similar companies happen to be private entities. They are not obligated to follow a Strict-Constructionist interpretation of the 1st Amendment. The Bill of Rights applies to government; private institutions set their own policies. When one reads the User Guidelines at Wordpress, we see that they are not especially onerous. Basically, they prohibit criminal activities, incitement to violence, doxxing---but that's about it. As in many other recent cases, Weidmann didn't get suspended for what he said, but for what he did. Weidmann actually has another Wordpress site called Goodbye, America. Weidmann hasn't posted there in about six weeks, but the blog is still up and comments are published there. So much for 'censorship'.
I would suspect that Weidmann was suspended over the 'incitement to violence' clause. He was endlessly writing about the supposed 'necessity' of a race-war. It's also interesting to note that the perpetrators of our two most recent synagogue shootings were admitted readers of Chateau Heartiste. Whatever the reason for the ban, the disappearance of that site is no great loss to the world.
No fan of his but a slight correction on the private company thing.
ReplyDeleteSee the issue is that if a business begins censoring posts then they are libel under the law as an edited publication for what is posted on the platform.
Many of these sites are currently protected from lawsuits because they are "free speech platforms." (Just like the telephone company can't be sued for someone calling you and threatening you.) If they wish to give up the free speech platform, then they should also lose the lawsuit protection.
These Red Pill bloggers are falling like dominoes and will be forgotten in the dustbin of history.
ReplyDeleteAs long as we still have worthless sites like this we'll be fine.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean we kemosabe?
DeleteAnother color-blind Christian. Vox Day has quite a hard-on for it, unfortunately; besides that his content on immigration is top notch. Chris Langan is aware of the ongoing race mix and race replacement agenda as well.
ReplyDeleteGet rid of Europeans, and it will be no more. Luther saw it differently, writing that we now have such strange times that one has better chances of salvation through the sword than through prayer.

ReplyDeleteWHO hurt you? You come across as a Woman he pumped and dumped....it does not look good on you either..........quit rubbing salt into your own wounds.
ReplyDeleteHis whole set of writings come across as a low-T whiner's who never even got to the 'pumping', let alone 'dumping', phase. I'm more interested in teaching men to be men; not acting like a bunch of 6th-grade boys sitting around listening to some old doofus' fantasies.
DeleteHEARTISTE was a great writer and made many good points. I was sad to see his site go, but I wont forget about him and tend to mention it to people who seam interested in his works. If you dont like that, oh well.
