I don't necessarily agree with every word they both say, but they're overwhelmingly positive voices in the manosphere.

I agree exactly with this.

I have a gut hunch about those two. Cannot put a finger on it, but I am right more often than I am wrong about internet clowns.

Still, they deserve massive credit for their parts.

I said “misgivings” for a reason - although I don’t even know what that really means!

@deeplydisturbed

I have misgivings about a few content creators - Rollo, Paul Elam, and Ryan Stone are a few. They seem to want to claim ownership of parts (or all) of "the red pill.”

I don't know much about Elam. Kevin put one of his videos in the WAATGM sidebar, and it's the only thing from him that seemed worth watching for me. He mostly struck me as a whiner.

However, I must take up for Rollo and Rian on this. I've never seen either one try to "claim ownership", but rather steer discourse and correct misconceptions.

I don't necessarily agree with every word they both say, but they're overwhelmingly positive voices in the manosphere.

Okay men, here is a test for this tribe:

You should be familiar with Nassim Taleb and his market shorting strategy. Legendary options investor, and Hedge Fund manager. He claims to have earned 4,000% returns during the last big downturn in the S&P500.

Who here knows anything about the specifics of his approach. Here’s all I know:

1. It is NOT just a collection of out-of-the-money puts. I modeled it and it fails in the long run
2. It incorporates barbell strategy
3. It involves “fat tails”
4. It DOES involve put options
5. It MAYBE involves covered calls

What else do we know?

I hate to be “That guy”, but I’m going to be That guy now. (Rollo Tomassi does this all the time)

It’s the “I told you so” thing.

For those of you who remember the old r/whereareallthegoodmen, I wrote an article in which I predicted this about 5-6 years ago; I called it “The rise of the neo-trad women”

It’s gone supersonic at this point, and this is the current state of things. Just watch about 30 seconds of this —> youtu.be/Fib95OPCLKo?t=216

Now I just need to start making better predictions about the stock market…

(Speaking of which, what ever happened to the Wall Street Bets tribe? It seems like a shit show over there lately.)

@Typo-MAGAshiv

Ha!

Whoosh moment

@deeplydisturbed it's a walk down memory lane.

He had challenged everyone to name the gun.

I named it "Billy".

@Chantfire

This is a joke, or just a shit setup.

Clearly an AR platform with picatinny rail setup top and bottom.

That foregrip is placed too far back to be of real use. But that’s hard to tell because I can’t see the length of the barrel. Some shooters recommend a much far forward grip these days, but maybe that’s just preference.

Also, what’s up with that optic? It is elevated, but you still cannot switch to iron sights in a pinch.

Can’t zoom in on that charging handle either. So WTF is even happening there? Could be me not knowing the new cool gear, but I don’t see how this would be a good thing in a fight. Do you flip that little thing up in order to sort things out?

I’m confused.

Is this a test? Or a prank?

Or…. is it a Fed Post to see who knows these things.

Hmmmm.

@Typo-MAGAshiv

I was speaking generally. One way to create a bunch of hate and terror in your future is to bomb people in other countries.

I KNOW we did not do that in Venezuela. And perhaps this is my point - THAT is how you should do it. In fact, I am sure the CIA is responsible for the deaths of quite a few world leaders over the years. No blame, no warships.

I despise communism with every fiber of my being. Like you have no fucking idea. I have good reasons, which I will not go into here now.

So the Venezuela move was a good one. Not to mention the Russian and Chinese implications shown in that video I linked to earlier.

And with that, I am happy. Fuck other countries getting up in our grill.

Now if we could just take out Zelensky, I could die a happy man.

@deeplydisturbed

Then for the EXACT same reasons, we should have taken out Israel and a few other countries/leaders a long time ago.

How do you figure?

Saddam signed on to an agreement not to have WMDs as a condition of the cease-fire at the end of Operation Desert Storm in 1991.

Israel has never signed any such agreement (and it would be foolish of them to do so).

So too, do the war mongers build future terrorism, that they will not pay for. Our children and grandchildren have to pay the bill.

The bungling around then sudden abandonment we did in Iraq and Afghanistan fits that, but the precision removal of an illegitimate dictator won't. Especially when the people he's been starving are absolutely thrilled.
