So yesterday, Vox Day was gushing with pious horror; claiming that someone had sicced the FBI/SWAT upon his crony Owen Benjamin's compound. As it turns out, the police actually did show up there. There are public records out there and it didn't take some on Youtube very long to uncover the truth:
Poor Big Bear: he doesn't even have credibility when he tries to do something stupid. At least the guys on Youtube are having an easier time doing research on the Web than the vaunted Vile Faceless Minions. Vox was obliged to write a post today giving them the basics:
A word of advice: emailing us nothing but a link to a video and saying "this video is in violation" is entirely useless. If you want to help, then please put in the work that will actually reduce the workload of others.
This is what a proper copyright violation report looks like:
1. Copyright Infringement Notification
What is the issue?
Copyright infringement (Someone copied my creation)
2. Copyright infringement - Who is affected?
My company, organization, or client
3. Videos to be removed
∗ URL of allegedly infringing video to be removed:
Describe the work allegedly infringed:
∗ The YouTube URL of my original video:
∗ Where does the content appear?
Timestamps:
Where does your work appear in the targeted video?
to
Where does it appear in your source video?
to
Note that without the timestamps from BOTH the original and the violating video, the lawyers cannot submit the copyright infringement notification. So, if you're not going to provide that, there is no point in providing anything.
I understand people are simply trying to help. But the key word there is "trying", as it is vital to understand that actual help requires REDUCING the burden upon others, not INCREASING it. Which is why just bringing something to someone's attention cannot reasonably be described as helping.
But what was more serious was reading through some of the comments. A lot of good men who are fighting the repulsive Red Pill Cult---in all of its manifestations---were deeply concerned that something may have happened to Owen Benjamin's wife and kids, Owen schools his followers in all the abusive tactics of Game/Dark Triad advocated by the sachems in the Manosphere. Game is overall a very nasty form of psychological abuse and generally appeals to men who can't keep a woman except through force, fraud, and fear.
Feminism's influence in our culture is one factor that produces female vulnerability to abusive men. Many American girls grow up without any healthy male authority figures. Those who are lucky enough to have real fathers have a respect for men and confidence in their feminine roles. Those who hate their fathers develop Penis Envy and become Lesbians and Radfems.
But still some girls grow up with a healthy sexuality---i.e. the desire to submit to a strong and dominant man; but the weak men and cultural gynocentricity frustrates them so that by they time they reach their late teens/early twenties they're desperate for anything that even remotely appears like strength. Such women are picked off easily by thugs and other predators like Owen Benjamin and this scumbag:
This clown is a vlogger named Nathaniel Slattery, who was recently excommunicated from the Bear Cult but reinstated after grovelling in public to Owen Benjamin. He was recently married to a girl whom he Gamed; and has done what abusers typically do. He's isolated her from her community and family and brags about what he allows her to do and not do. Like many others in the Red Pill community, Slattery has a proclivity for violence and frequently flies into uncontrollable rages.
Crocko and others have documented videos of Slattery bragging about recurring dreams about slaughtering people and often he vlogs while cradling a rifle. He claims to have had homosexual tendencies in his youth. (That I don't doubt; but I do doubt that he no longer has them). Understandably, some real men out there are concerned about the welfare of his young wife.
Hopefully the exposure being put upon the cultists now will give women and children trapped in the system a chance to break free. At least it will prevent a lot of others from making the same mistake.
The whole "Red Pill" thing has this sociopathic Revenge of the Nerds vibe to it.
ReplyDeleteIt does have a weird vibe---it feels like watching the first few minutes of a Slasher film, just before the psycho in the clown mask shows up with a chainsaw.
DeleteThanks for caring, Night Wind. I worry about some of these red pills and their psychotic rages. Combine that with some latent homosexuality and any women around them really need to get themselves out of the line of fire.
ReplyDeleteSadly I think a lot of them are really trapped. These guys have cut them off from the community. When I see videos of these women, they never look genuinely happy; more like lost, somewhat depressed and resigned to their fate.
DeleteA project I've been thinking of for 2020 is to contact you and some other women on the Internet and see if there's something we can do to help. A project like that is really going to need caring and supportive women to deal with it.
