So...after spending a good part of the weekend fruitlessly trying to explain to some True Believers that the current Administration is pandering to online Alpha Red Pills, we get the news that Australian-born Manosophere influencer Nick Adams has been nominated to the position of US Ambassador to Malaysia. A post from a year ago outlines Adams' qualifications for such a job:
I guess that all that we can really say here is that he fits in well with the New Right's version of a State Department. Recall that in 2016, current State Department Kommissar Marco Rubio got into a literal debate with Trump over who had the biggest male organ. Too, we also have many other colorful characters already serving in the Diplomatic Corps, like Rainbow-Pride activist Ric Grenell, who famously freed another Red Pill hero, Andrew Tate. Likewise, we have Christian Nationalist Mike Huckabee as ambassador to Israel.
The selection of Adams likely won't matter to anybody haunting the pro-Administration echo chambers. As a general rule, these manly Alpha leaders generally have contempt for things like diplomacy and negotiation, as we've recently seen with the Tariff threats and the bombing of Iran. They like to fantasize that their mere presence intimidates all of their so-called inferiors, and people like Adams serve as the avatar for what all of the incels and latent homosexuals in the Manosphere imagine they will be some day.
In the real world, though, where a few of us still prefer real Gods to the self-styled earthly variety, the appointment of a complete dolt like Nick Adams to this post has real-world consequences.
Malaysia is a country in the South Pacific of about 40 million people. It is a federation of several former British colonies and very important because it straddles the strategic waterway linking the Indian Ocean to the Pacific. Malaysia had fairly good relations with the United States, although severely undermined in recent years by American Cultural Imperialism and general bullying over Malaysia's determination to behave like a sovereign nation. The country is already roiling over another Alpha diplomatic move, stiff tariffs imposed on Malaysia---which are just as stupidly pointless as Adams' nomination.
The reaction in Malaysia itself is that the appointment seen largely as the latest insult; the general feeling among diplomats being that an unqualified Internet buffoon being chosen to serve as US Ambassador demonstrates the contempt which the Administration feels towards their country. “Trump does not value Malaysia as an important partner to the superpower nation,” said Datuk Nazri, former Malaysian Ambassador to the US, “We don’t simply send anybody to be our ambassador to the US. We really choose someone who is fit to be ambassador.”
Former Malaysian Justice Minister Said Ibrahim was more direct, calling upon the Government to refuse Adams' diplomatic credentials. “The position of ambassador is not ceremonial. Ambassadors are the face, voice, and attitude of their nation in the host country. They are meant to foster trust, deepen cooperation, and represent their nation’s highest ideals. Adams is neither a career diplomat nor statesman, and therefore, unsuitable for the position. He is a political provocateur, whose loud and divisive commentary has become fodder for American cable news but holds no value for Malaysia’s diplomatic relationship with the United States. Accepting Adams would not be a gesture of goodwill but an insult."
It may come as a surprise to many Americans, but not every culture in the world are as effete as we are. Some still have a measure of self-respect, and don't slavishly bow before any swaggering bully with an internet following and a massive ego. Adams once said of criticism directed towards him: “I go to Hooters. I eat rare steaks. I lift extremely heavy weights. I read the Bible every night. I am pursued by copious amounts of women. I am wildly successful. I have the physique of a Greek God. I have an IQ over 180. I am extremely charismatic. They hate this.” No doubt he will approach the Malaysian Government with much the same attitude.
During his term in Australian Politics, among Adams' great innovations was proposing DNA tests to fine pet owners who failed to clean up after their dogs, and banning pigeons from the park after a Bird Flu scare; so from that we likely can conclude that he's quite sympathetic to the sort of Techno-Fascism that the Red Pills like and promote so eagerly.
I don't know what to say here. American 'Conservatives' were so determined to own those Libtards that they gave no thought to what they'd be replacing the Democrats with. Rule By the Red Pill is what we've got in its place.
