About seven weeks has passed now since Manosphere cultists issued a fatwah against their Internet critics. We were all supposed to have a motley group of trolls aided by legal legions swooping down upon us. Well, to make a long story short, I don't think that I've ever seen an opponent in a battle self-destruct as badly as the Alpha minions have. Thanks to Owen's bungling, Unauthorized TV was exposed as a scam that even Vox couldn't deny any longer. Teddy Spaghetti has been discreetly slinking away: he hasn't mentioned anything on his blog about the whole thing since mid-January, leaving Owen to flail about in the wind.
Vox has revamped Unauthorized TV---sort of---and so far Owen's been unable to download anything to it. It seems that it's finally sinking into his thick skull that he's been bit; that Teddy Spaghetti has made a fool of him, and that the only people willing to hang around in his cult are bigger losers than he is.
Since then, Owen has started spiraling, and big time. As we noted just last week, he had a nervous breakdown; and since then it's gotten even worse. Owen actually thinks that the Jews have given him intestinal worms and he's started drinking Turpentine to kill the alleged parasites; and he further claims that drinking it cures homosexuality and is making him more Alpha. This was too much even for Vox---and that's saying a lot considering all of the nutcases who orbit around him on a regular basis. On Social Galactic yesterday, the Supreme Dark Lord threw a pointed jibe at chatters discussing the merits of Turpentine Therapy.
Vox isn't very bright, but he's cunning and slippery and I think that he sees some Red Flags about potential liabilities around Owen. This post on Owen's DLive stream probably made him even more nervous:
Hosting a platform where some goofball is giving people advice that's potentially fatal is a fast-track to getting himself bankrupted in a civil suit. And the Bear Cult are just the kinds of nitwits who'd follow Owen off whichever cliff he jumped himself.
Turpentine Therapy is a real thing. In the modern era, it was started by a physician who was stripped of her license, and promoted by a expat drug addict named Danny Glass. A Hollywood nitwit named Tiffany Haddish has been popularizing it too. Haddish has a phobia of bunk-beds, a history of mental illness, and last year became a citizen of Eritrea. The chemical itself has medicinal uses in small amounts as a topical pain reliever and decongestant. It's what gives Vick's Vapo-Rub its characteristic pungent odor. It is used more widely in industrial capacities. It's an ingredient in Pine-Sol cleaning fluid and many paint thinners.
That aside, however, it appears that Vox and Owen have found themselves on a tightrope. Owen dimly realizes that he's chained to a con-man who's using him and Vox is learning that he's chained to a human time-bomb. How could such high-IQ Alphas get themselves into such a mess? I don't know: but watching them try to get out of it now is going to be the really interesting part.
As much as it pains me to agree with Vox, wine is much preferable to turpentine.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if it kills worms, but wine's a lot healthier.
DeleteGreat post; good summary.
