In the spirit of full disclose I must admit that:
1. I know Roosh and
2. I am an occasional guest writer for his site Return of Kings.
Having said that neither my personal nor professional relation with Roosh will affect nor color my analysis of his Canadian trip and the SJW drama that has ensued. The reason why is simple - his actions and experiences in Canada speak for themselves and tell a story that needs no editorializing.
As this post is being written Roosh has completed one of two Canadian speeches in his world speaking tour. The first speech (Montreal) was threatened by some SJW's, notably one who set up a petition to prevent him from even entering Canada, while another (Jessica Lelievre, the epitome of "spoiled brat rich daddy's girl") harassed him in public by dousing him in liquor (and foolishly filming it which has resulted in a lawsuit).
Now I can go on, and certainly the media will cover Roosh's travels through Canada and the SJW circus that will come with it. But instead of chronicling what's happened and then make some obvious observations about the mentally-ill culture of SJW's, I wanted to explain
1. Why this time it will be different
2. Why it is because of qualities and traits of men like Roosh that will make it different and
3. Why the SJW's will lose
What SJW's, leftists, socialists, and other vermin of society are used to is a tired, old, and worn out tactic of silencing somebody they disagree with or threatens to expose them for the parasites they are by accusing them of an "ism" (racism, sexism, ageism, etc.), which in turn then threatens that individual's career and thus livelihood. Mozilla firing Brendan Eich, Dr. Palmer's shooting of Cecil, doxxing and SWATing, even I've had people try to tell my clients I wrote "mean racist things."
Though dishonest, cowardly and tiresome, this tactic works and is highly effective. In threatening and holding hostage an individual's career and reputation, they also threaten that individual, his life, and his family. Alas, they can essentially shut down any social or political commentary from the productive classes, leaving only leftist, SJW and politically approved socialist thought in the public forum.
However, this tactic only works if there is something of value to hold hostage over the person saying things SJW's find disagreeable.
A dentist with a career.
An accountant with a family.
A professor with a 20 year track record.
But what the SJW's and leftists don't realize is that while they may find the world to be such a place of injustice and they "still have a long way to go," their leftist predecessors have made great strides in the past. They have managed to stagnate the economy. They have managed to create an education bubble. They have managed to destroy the labor market for young people. And, above all else, feminists have largely been successful in destroying young women for young men.
And it is from this environment a new strain of men have arisen. A strain of men immune to all SJW's tactics.
Take a look at Roosh and his background and you'll see a man who has nothing to lose, and therefore nothing the SJW's can threaten.
He tried (like all of us) to "do what was right." He went to college, tried his hand at a soul sucking job, and when his employer found out he was blogging under a pen name, they still threatened him with being fired. This not being exactly conducive to having the "freedom of speech" and with no real job prospects that were promised to him like the 1950's, he went on a South American trip which laid the foundation for what would be his career - traveling to different countries and then writing about how to get laid in these countries.
Of course, while that sounds great it wasn't easy. Traveling on buses in South America, constantly going to clubs, learning new languages, and the meticulous level of detail he had to take in terms of notes and writing made it a real (albeit exciting) job. But the larger point is that SJW's, socialism, leftism and feminism had made the US so hostile, if not impossible for the "9-5 job and wife with children and a white picket fence," he was practically compelled to go down this route of self-employment.
But what is doubly ironic is how precisely he makes his money. Most entrepreneurs can still be threatened by SJW's. The cupcake shop that doesn't make cupcakes for lesbians. The pizzeria that theoretically would not deliver pizzas to a gay wedding. They have a product that can still be assailed, assaulted, held hostage, and destroyed.
But what if your job is merely countering the political, economic, social, and psychological environment SJW's created? What if your job is to unplug as many Neo's out of "the Matrix?" What if your job is nothing more than being an SJW hunter? This is why Roosh is simply immune to any SJW's attacks. It's because he not only has nothing they can threaten or take hostage, but because his business is a direct result and response to the environment SJW's and leftists have created.
Alas, this is why Roosh is invincible against the SJW's and there's no way they can win. Unlike Mortimer Snerd, loyal accountant at KMPG for 30 years, with a mortgage, two car loans, a wife about to divorce him, and three kids in college, they cannot threaten Roosh's career or family as it doesn't exist. Worse for them, the more they attack, the more publicity he gets AND the more they get exposed for the psychopath, tyrants they are.
But what's worse for SJW's is there's (what I would estimate to be) millions more Rooshes with absolutely nothing to lose. Men who grew up in and are by products of the SJW/feminist culture, and are thus immune to it. My company, Asshole Consulting, NEEDS feminist, SJW culture to continue to brainwash young men and women into delusion otherwise I'd run out of clients. Jack Donovan NEEDS SJW's to continue to emasculate young boys otherwise nobody would need his books on masculinity. And that's just the tip of the iceberg when it has come to what is nothing more than a full-fledge industry of neo-masculinity that has arisen in the past decade to deprogram, explain, provide sanity to, and provide agency and purpose to MILLIONS of young men (and women) who are slowly waking up and realizing just how badly feminism, socialism, and their goose-stepping SJW's have ruined their lives.
What SJW's around the world need to realize is that Canada is just the first instance where SJW's have met a monster of their own creation in the form of Roosh. And not only can he not be stopped, but there are millions more who also have nothing to lose, are immune to you, and are very, very angry that you not only lied to them about the real world, but destroyed their birthright to western civilization.
And there's nothing you can do to stop them.
That is it precisely. To quote from an old Chris Christopherson song " freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose."
ReplyDeleteA very good article.
ReplyDeleteAs a Canadian I am completely mystified at the level of attention Roosh has received. I have read his forums for a while now. For the most part what is in there is common sense. I especially do like his focus on improving yourself. Can't have that in Canada. Free Speech. Hell no. Unfortunately our CBC is as leftist as it gets. I don't think they even pretend to not be anymore.
Some people are just too easily offended. If you remove what they claim is offensive they will just lower the bar. The most absurd thing currently being floated is air conditioning being sexist. Well hell just turn it off then because there is a 99% chance a man invented it. Might as well get rid of the heat and windows too.
I heard a quote a while back that if I remember correctly came from our Canadian human rights tribunal. It said basically that freedom of speech was an American concept and does not apply in Canada. Well that's good to know. Maybe what the world needs is a .fem instead of .com websites. Then they can keep all of their BS in one place.
Keep up the good work Roosh and Aaron.
As Neo said, "I'm going to show them a world without you. A world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries."

I can't help but think that SJW tactics will diminish in effectiveness as they are used more and more. At present, a company that sees a SJW smear campaign gets the idea that the target is an awful person and is alienating their customers, but this is because they largely don't have any idea of what the SJW types actually are, and react as though the complaints are coming from customers or reasonable people or some other group whose opinions might be worth caring about.
ReplyDeleteGive it five, ten years, and allegations of being a racist bigot will fail to cause the desired shock and subsequent firing of the target, and will instead generate a shrug and a dismissive "You say that about everybody, though."
I'm a little gobsmacked, and feel kind of foolish. For some reason it hadn't occurred to me that Roosh's famously P.T. Barnum-like riling up of the SJWs was no mere self-aggrandizement but some very easy demonstration to his real audience that the dangerous crazies really are out there and really don't want him telling the truth.
ReplyDeleteSome damned fool always chimes in on a discussion of alpha traits, self-employment, or anything else using the leverage of how things are, saying, "But not everyone can do that, or it wouldn't work!" Then they get taken apart as they deserve. I fully expect something like that on this topic. Yeah, if everyone got it there wouldn't be SJWs any more and the whole industry would collapse in a cloud of honor, justice, and sexual healing. Whatever. You'll note that firemen regularly publish information on avoiding house fires, but are never actually out of work.
Captain, you are basically describing the concept of antifragility as applied to what Roosh calls neomasculinity. Roosh reviewed the original 2012 book on it by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, in October 2013:

Another outstanding, spot on piece. Count me as one of the millions of the new breed.
ReplyDeleteNassim Taleb is a fantastic author in general. If you haven't, you should read his book "the black swan". One of the most profound things I have ever read.
ReplyDeleteGoodday,
ReplyDeleteAfter studying economics in my spare-time I started reading your blog a few years ago, as the concept of private income vs public sector income clearly showed to me that putting an adapters plug in its own socket does not produce unlimited power.
I was very interesting in what you had to say about Mr Roosh being pushed from his original mating ground where he originally found good mates but now cant find any.
It reminded me of a study on foxes, which influenced the 1967 novel The Fox and the Hound by Mr Daniel P. Mannix, who himself studied the habits of wild foxes when they were hunted.
He found that foxes traditionally find long life partners when not disturbed, but as they continued to find their nests destroyed they proceeded to mate with any female they could find, leading to far more aggressive behavior in future generations.
A similar story can be read about wolves in Wolf Totem by Jiang Rong, an autobiography of a Chinese student during Maos Revolution.
Anyway, I enjoy any analysis you offer, have a good day.
"For the most part what is in there is common sense."
ReplyDelete-------------------
That's kinda the point though.
The left is basically at war with common sense.
I notice how the SJWs totally misrepresented the rape story which was satire. Apparently these idiots have not heard of Poe's law.
ReplyDeleteGreat comment cap'n. Also hope Roosh makes more money out of this as he deserves it. Found you and him too late for me but oldest son a convert. One to go.
ReplyDeleteGreat comment, cap'n. Hope Roosh makes more money from this. He deserves it. Found him and you too late in life but oldest son converted. One to go.
ReplyDeleteCaptain, I have heard your views on christianity before. Please, do not get angry on anything similar to that. There's a well known quote, among christians, that is. It's the following.
ReplyDelete"What did Jesus mean when He said, “Take up your cross and follow Me” (Matthew 16:24; Mark 8:34; Luke 9:23)
I know you do not care much for christianity. But what Roosh did here, that's pretty much what this quote is about. I think you already know the story of Jesus. Jesus knows that he is going to get crucified. As Roosh knows that he going to get crucified, by the SJW. Neither Jesus nor Roosh has a choice here. The story in the bible has a written ending, and the christian belief, which we can ignore for this point's sake. But if Jesus, or Roosh, have a choice to do something else, neither of them considers the other options to be anything worth choosing. Taking up your cross, that's the best long-term option. Despite what that choice means for one's future health, future privacy, future comfort, and so on. Despite the obvious suffering. Christians, and I am one of them, we believe that Jesus gains from his choice. I hope that Roosh doesn't have to suffer. I like and respect him, even if I might not agree with him on all matters.
While I imagine that the response is that everybody has their own opinions and the mansophere is monolithic. While you and other places like Heartiste is praising Roosh. Rollo Tomassi of TheRationalMale is viewing Roosh as taking the path to be an attention whore. That he is intentionally stirring fights to garner attention and thus sales - trolling and playing the professional victim walking into traps like the waitress. I'm not sure, but I think Rollo removed him from his blog list.
ReplyDeleteIt's not true that Roosh has nothing to lose; he has quite a bit. What sets him apart is that as a self-made man it would be pretty tough to take away what he has.
ReplyDeleteThrowing a drink in Roosh's face shows just how juvenile the feminist mind is. Can't win an argument therefore rely on a stunt.
ReplyDeleteI would call it assault but I leave it to Roosh to decide. The call for banning the speech shows just how slow a day it is here in Canada in the middle of a federal election.
