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.

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.

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?
― bizarro gazzara, Monday, 17 November 2014 19:47 (nine years ago) link
oh wait, it's only free for kindle unlimited customers :(

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

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 😞

I watched that clip of Dr Taylor’s apology – at the moment of his supreme professional triumph – and I felt the red mist come down. It was like something from the show trials of Stalin, or from the sobbing testimony of the enemies of Kim Il-sung, before they were taken away and shot. It was like a scene from Mao’s cultural revolution when weeping intellectuals were forced to confess their crimes against the people.
I mean, on the one hand this is sort of true in the broadest, most-credibility-stretching way but on the other hand, did you not actually see the shirt in question?
― the farakhan of gg (DJP), Tuesday, 18 November 2014 21:58 (nine years ago) link
As for the design of the garment, I have studied it as closely as the photos will allow, and I can’t see what all the fuss is about. I suppose there are women with long flowing hair and a certain amount of décolletage. But let’s not mince our words: there are no nipples; there are no buttocks; there is not even an exposed midriff, as far as I can see.

question answered DJP
I think his critics should go to the National Gallery and look at the Rokeby Venus by Velázquez. Or look at the stuff by Rubens. Are we saying that these glorious images should be torn from the walls?

he's playing to his core constituency in its core paper, the message is probably about rowing back a ways from David Cameron's perceived political correctness, just letting the faithful know there'll be none of this SJW shit once Boris is in charge
