Vox is having another online tantrum, this time over some comments posted about him on Gab. Gab is a site much like Twitter; and is billed as an alternative site with minimal restrictions on content. Alt-RINO trolls who get kicked off Twitter frequently go to Gab; and Vox has been a huge advocate of the site.
But recently Vox himself has become a target of online trolls: apparently the handiwork of former confederates of his who've become disgruntled at Vox' poltroonery in the Charlottesville controversy. Here are three posts that have him outraged, part of a conversation between Gab members Silverdawn and Fabius Maximus PRO:
"Everyone stay away from Vox Day. He is a faggot Talmudic half-Jew, half-Mexican pedophile pretending to be white."
"I heard that Vox Day is a known pedophile who's viewed more prepubescent boys online than viewers to his own site. Sad."
"Why do you follow a pedophile? Are you a pedophile too?"
Vox indignantly denied these allegations, but he went even further. He demanded that Gab not only take down the alleged slanders, but also to turn over to him account information on the principals involved. Given Vox' own long history of doxxing, trolling, and harassing enemies of his, Gab refused to comply.
Upon discovering that Gab wouldn't do for him what he criticized Twitter for doing---and treating him like any other Gab customer---Vox flew into a heated rage and began scribbling off a few anti-Gab posts liberally salted with threats of legal action.
It's interesting that just a few days ago, Vox had an online battle with a supporter of Antifa. Vox was accused of spreading fake memes falsely attributed to Antifa. On Twitter, the Antifa people pointed out that the memes were forgeries; but Vox continued to post them because "the most effective rhetoric communicates truth without being literally truthful in the details." This is a sophistry that essentially means that Truth is a morally relative and subjective concept: something that the Cultural Marxists also believe.
And now that Vox is getting a dose of his own medicine, he's bellowing like a bull with a bad case of colic. It shows again that the Alt-RINOs only care about Freedom when it benefits them.
I think Vox's plans are more cynical revenge. He already has his own Wikipedia, his own publishing house and his own echo chamber. The only thing he's lacking is his own social media platform. Remember, this is Mr. "Build your own damn platforms" we're talking about here.
ReplyDeleteHe mentioned that his legal actions aren't about money, so I expect once he dismantles Gab, he'll ride in like a hero to proclaim his own Twitter clone.
I meant, "more cynical THAN revenge."
DeleteSome bloggers on the political Left suspect the same thing. The Red Pills have a big following in the Tech Industry---Andrew Anglin claimed once that 28% of donations for 'The Daily Stormer' came from Silicon Valley. I don't doubt this is probably true; it's typical of cults to create their own 'Safe Spaces' where they can control information while complaining that they're being censored everywhere else.
DeleteThere is precious little Vox does that's not pre-calculated to raise his Internet profile. This is just more of the same, Vox trying to be like his hero Mike Cernovich.
ReplyDeleteLegally, he's going nowhere with anyone, and everyone but his most slavish followers knows it. From a publicity standpoint, though, it's obviously achieving its intended result.
One of Vox' critics in the publishing industry speculated that Vox is psychologically stimulated by assuming a sort of 'super-villain' role. Could be so. He's definitely a narcissist who loves being the center of attention.
DeleteSuch hypocrisy, such a lack of integrity, such schadenfreude. These guys like to engage in an incredible lack of self-awareness, while trying to mask it all behind an elaborate cloak of just playing 11 dimensional chess and rhetorical games. It could be an elaborate plot against the powers that be...or they could just be so thin skinned and prideful it's made them just as dumb as they appear at first glance.
ReplyDeleteJust for the record, Vox has never apologized for the vulgar and unkind things he has said about me. When I did object, in typical VD fashion, he just doxxed me and threatened to call the cops. When you're calling the cops because a Christian grandma on the internet, and a rather gentle one at that, is scaring the heck out of you, well, that's just kind of sad and pathetic.
When was this?
DeleteI think that he engages in doxxing as a way of intimidating critics. He almost got kicked off of Amazon for doxxing negative reviews of his writings. When Amazon customers complained; he tried to say that it was part of Castalia House's Customer Service---that he was only trying to find out why buyers were dissatisfied with the product! Of course, news of that getting out is naturally going to make anyone think twice before reviewing his works negatively. At the same time, he encouraged his minions to by CH writings to inflate sales and publish glowing reviews---AND report negative reviewers to Amazon as 'spammers'.
