Thanks for introducing me to Davis Aurini

So I humbly ask that – if you’ve been on the fence – that you decide to support us with a monthly donation that is affordable to you.

We are both fans of Ayn Rand, and neither of us are going to apologize for enjoying the fruits of our labour – but at the same time, this isn’t some sort of “Get-Rich-Quick” scheme. This is a gamble that we’ve both staked our reputations and sacred honour on, and our only goals over the next few months are survival and film making. I believe this is something worth doing. I believe that this is a film that can change the landscape of politics, and just not gaming. I believe this is the right thing to do.

That is amazing.

also reffed in that piece, dude's a film-maker:

this movie is really exceptional for anyone who hasnt seen it

"Lust in the time of Hat-ache" more like

movie definitely nails something about the modern human condition

I also saw that commercial and thought "pretty convincing Kate Upton lookalike"

GUYS ITS REALLY KATE UPTON

tho tbf im sure she didnt tweet that tweet

Kate Upton is #notyourshield

I was going to say something about how she should maybe be more discriminating in her endorsements, but hell, she's 22, run with it

does anything about the #notyourshield hashtag make sense? the word they were looking for was not shield

they r not the best communicators is my observation

bet u they gave her sharez

The irony is that it is actually about anti-feminist gamers using token women and minorities as shields

yup

like maybe they hadn't heard of a strawman argument

they had

#iamyourstrawman

I think u can play as a strawman in Dragon Age

I'm still back on Davis Aurini

Trained as a Historian at McMaster University, and as an Infantry soldier in the Canadian Forces, I'm an author, a strategist, a neoreactionary monarchist, and an entrepreneur.

also a white supremacist. he's a fucking gem that one

as i mentioned a bit upthread, that amazing video of his was at least partially funded by the canadian government - a stirring testament to his skills as an entrepreneur

I keep seeing that video and it looking like a still from some really bad backstreet boys fan video or something and being curious but just not wanting to give them the views. Anyone want to summarize it? I'm guessing the guy in the middle spouts a bunch of MRA stuff and the guys behind him chip in from time to time.

omg just watch man its beyond description

Youtube viewcounts be damned!

imagine an mra-themed martial arts demonstration directed by tommy wiseau

im looknig at the kate upton picture and all i keep thinknig is "wait wtf thats max scherzer"

whts wrong w me

#notyourfedora

he also looks like a 13-year-old cosplaying as grant morrison.

Are we talking about "Lust in the Time of Heartache"? How did I miss this?!

lol wut

oh the guy in the foreground lol get it now

uh

davis aurini has written a novel and it's free from Amazon for kindle. I think it might be fallout fan-fiction cuz he thanks the no mutants allowed board. also tucker max :(

http://www.amazon.co.uk/As-Walk-These-Broken-Roads/dp/1480121827

Out of the irradiated wastes comes a soldier. On the far edge of the trade routes, in a small farming community, there lives a mechanic. Two men from a previous era, surviving through steel and cunning in a world of degenerated philosophy; a world where the old tech is treated with savage, animistic worship. A storm is coming. When civilization is scattered and broken, what is a man supposed to do? How is a man supposed to live?

oh wait, it's only free for kindle unlimited customers :(

on this boulevard of... lonely...dreams. yeah, that's the ticket!

When it's only free for kindle unlimited customers, what is a man supposed to do? How is a man supposed to live?

lol nhex

an Amazon reviewer picks out a choice passage:

Aurini employs his share of poetic phrasing, as well. Very tasteful. Take this, near the end of the book: "The great civilisation, laid out like a blueprint, with distribution lines of different colours for each product and service. Little numbers listed the frequencies and speed of each branch of the main trunk, a great logistical machine keeping millions clothed, fed, and happy. Then an atomic spark had burst in the heart, and quickening into poison along the veins."

so... civilisation was a blueprint tree-machine with a human circulatory system taken out by a poisonous spark? hmm

Very tasteful.

aurini btw is the only redpill youtuber i've been allowing myself to watch during this whole thing cuz he's the only one i can't resist, his skulls (ornamental and no), his jumpy don draper poses, but had not yet seen his website. this line is some o.g. fascism:

Twist: the actions of these SJWs are so insanely destructive and self-defeating that it’s hard to believe that they exist... that’s because they are insane. When you’re motivated by envy, destructiveness is all you know.

This whole thing is the most extreme example of conformation bias I am aware of but I guess unfortunately it means it's probably completely prevalent all over the place 😞

When you’re motivated by envy, destructiveness is all you know.

this m/l describes gamergaters

ignorance is strength

actually, the poisonous spark was a lack of ethics in games journalism

This is what happens when you let your kids play Command & Conquer at way too formative an age
