The Mamnick Thread

I have shared the thinkers and political commentators that I follow and who's ideas I support and are influenced by ~ To be clear, they are listed below ~

Sarah Haider, Christopher Hitchens, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Gad Saad, Thomas Sowell, Sam Harris, Douglas Murray, Dave Rubin, Magid Nawaaz, Jordan Peterson.

However, you are claiming that I am a EDL-loving anti-Muslim/racist bigot! This is a misrepresentation of my character and views.

There's a lot to unpack in the above. I also think I'm wasting my time, but lets give it one last go.

You have not posted what you, yourself believe in - hence it's impossible to engage with you.

Instead you've posted (again and again) links to others - and, entertainingly, if I was challenged to come up with a list of idealogues that would be venerated by an "EDL-loving anti-Muslim/racist bigot!" then I'd come up with your list.

I understand that it's intimidating putting your own views out there - this may be why you claim to be playing a character, to avoid any scrutiny of who you really are. This is a common tactic deployed by shy people who have to appear (in some way) in the public eye.

However, all we know of your views (to mangle this somewhat) are the shadows on the cave wall caused by Peterson et al standing in front of your fire.

Therefore all we have to go on are a) what you have posted/linked to, all of which is identikit alt-right, dog-whistle/MRA bilge and b) reports of what you have done.

Ultimately you come across as rather lost, you don't have an identity of your own - rather you've bolted one together from ideas and concepts that are strongly expressed, and (I suspect) it helps you hide who you are in the character that you play to express opinions (albeit parroted from others) that are controversial as it allows you to gain attention whilst not exposing yourself. Anyone who calls you a cunt is really disagreeing with Hitchens, not you - that sort of thing.

The deflect/distract/distance thing is built into you - and until you can get over that I doubt you'll be able to start forming a personality of your own.

Your company reflects that - you steal the ideas, work and concepts of others and call them your own. There's no depth to you, or your brand - both are skin deep and cannot stand any examination, and you can't explain either as you didn't do the intellectual spade work to come up with them.

Give the above this thread will go round and round - you can't engage with us, we can't engage with you, and despite the name calling if you did make an honest attempt to explore your thoughts many on here would help.

As it stands all that we are achieving is some minimal catharsis by calling you a cunt, and you further nailing shut the coffin that contains your brand when it comes to cyclists with a shadow of a social conscience.

Go for a ride, try to come up with something (honestly, anything) that you believe in, that you can articulate (even roughly), then come back. We're not interested in what Peterson has said, or Hitchens - but we might be interested in something that you have to say that didn't originate with one of them.
