Vox’s latest book touts him as “the best-selling political philosopher on the planet. ” More books than Sean Hannity or Ann Coulter? Kinda doubt it. That and his knee-jerk response to criticism and labeling dissenters as “gammas” all prove him to be an arrogant knob.
Worst podcast I’ve heard from you. If you read either guy you’d know the Zman has consistently taken shots at Vox for the past two years ever since the Gab thing. Vox has been very good about ignoring these petty swipes but now the Zman has escalated by commenting on the lawsuits that Vox has been involved in saying they don’t exist. Just like the issue with Gab, Zman is picking sides in a fight that isn’t his, and deliberately misconstruing what is going on, just so he can take a shot at Vox. That is gamma upon gamma, whether… Read more »
I like to read both mens opinions, I think both have useful things to say. But The dissident right is full of egos who often spend more time fighting with each other, than with their joint enemies. It drives me nuts. Zmans podcast is where he should be doing things, rather than poking the smart, but often prickly Vox Day. Zman is better at podcasts than Vox Day, but Vox is building important media institutions, etc. that may turn out to be important eventually. Well see, JUST LEAVE EACH OTHER ALONE! Please, we have enough fighting with the Left already.… Read more »
No luck, mate. It’s the globalists who value unity. The price of individuality is disagreements with other individuals. Trust a Protestant on this, such disagreements are healthy. You can’t sharpen a sword without making a few sparks.
I’m on Vox Day’s side this time. Having been a participant in the Indiegogo lawsuit, I’m reasonably certain it exists.
Globalists at least stay on the same side long enough to build something. All we do is fight each other.
Yes. It’s awesome. I would much rather trade barbs with somebody who calls me a moron than live in fear of being unpersoned after an accidental Narrative violation.
The globalists built nothing. They steal everything. We can build a new world while bickering with each other and the fact that we CAN bicker without being forced to conform is proof that it’ll be a world worth living in.
Good episode. Really good. I don’t read the Z-Man anymore, but for no other reason than his writings just make me go ‘meh’. He just doesn’t ‘speak to me’. Not that I’ve generally found much he’s said disagreeable as such. I broadly agree with your analysis of the parties to this particular episode of tiresome Internet handbags. I don’t really understand why Vox has reacted the way he has. It seems disproportionate. That said, as someone who was involved in the Indiegogo imbroglio, as a backer of the project in question, I can say with confidence that the ZMan knows… Read more »
Yes, you’re right about the patreon panhandling – it’s demeaning.
I don’t know enough about Diana to say she was a lunatic but when she was being praised enormously, I heard that,
-when Charles wanted to relax, he messed around in the garden
-when Diana wanted to relax, she went shopping.
Sorry Diana, I like messing around in the garden as well. I’ll hang out with Charles – I HATE going shopping with women.
Whatever the macho types may say, no man has the stamina to last more than thirty minutes into a wo0man’s shopathon. The aching feet, the blood pooling in the legs, the boredom, all put limits on our endurance. One might lift heavy weights, or run marathons, but it’s the shopping that kills.
Now, in a really good hardware store…
I am sick of the gamma card. Everyone who disagree or annoys Vox is a Gamma. Yes there are many guys who are. I like Vox but pointing out gamma is like how the left use the Racist card. As you said with trying to find the comment that Vox points out is hard to find. You need to search down the page. Most people would not of even notice until it was pointed out, this is because most people don’t read the comments. I would say Vox only found out because someone sent him the link and told him.… Read more »
“What if we don’t want to play?”
[[[[[[BLAM]]]]]]
THEN DON’T!
ANY. OTHER. QUESTIONS.
You could put together a Mad Magazine style ‘Nasty File’ on all the writers on this side of things, and none of us would come out smelling of roses. But what is the point in attacking a fellow blogger, or YouTuber etc., even if they merit your accusation? And what is the point of taking offense at others attacking you? Sometimes newcomers do it to generate publicity and clicks, but these two fellahs are already big and don’t need to do that. It just comes across as lame and gay, like those perpetual literary disputes. Hemingway, Rousseau, Shelley – a… Read more »
Thanks for delving into the zman spat. I certainly wasn’t going to burn any cycles digging around in comments. Why you’d gossip about another man’s business on social media is beyond me. Having read all the posts about Vox’s issue with indegogo, clearly something happened, and clearly he provided a product. That’s not grifting.
Zman should have let it drop. It was a dumb comment, and he got called on it. Having a gamma employee tormenting me, I can say from experience that a compulsion to have the last work is a gamma trait.
I’ve been rolling my eyes at Vox for a few months now. His blog has gotten catty – really catty. Frankly, neither of them are display behavior worthy of emulation.
It’s gotten pretty bad. Vox has certainly shown that he’s not the “Sigma” he claims to be. If he were, he would simply have ignored the “ankle biter” as beneath his notice.
