How I Created The Anti-SJW Genre, And Almost Destroyed The World

15 posts in this topic

 

I remember watching The Amazing Atheist as one of my first regular YouTubers back in the early 2010s. With the recent debacles of Ye, Milo Yiannopoulos, Nick Fuentes and Trump in mind, this video gives a very insightful retrospective on that time and how it actually shaped the world we see today: a lesson on influence, context and power. It thrills me to see a mature TJ Kirk speaking with clarity about his past and his place in the world today.

And of course, I have to mention Destiny in all of this: he too has started to have the realization of "the world is so small". In one moment he is having dinner with Nick Fuentes, then a falling out with MrGirl, then he sits on a podcast with Dick Masterson and a co-host who went to high school with MrGirl, reacting to a video of Ye walking off Tim Pool with Milo and Nick in his heels. Imagine if he too had taken the lessons of influence, context and power that indeed MrGirl had levied against him a little earlier. Not just through the butterfly effect, but real causal agency, maybe he could've subverted the anti-semitist insurgency we see in the headlines.

   Very nice video! Yes, power, influence and context is everything, but so is state is everything too.

   For example, in a boxing match, if I terrify you so much that you can't adequately defend yourself, and too scared to pressure against me, I win the match, either by out pointing you or TKO. If your state of consciousness and emotion is such you are very confident, creative, secure, maybe arrogant, you let yourself take chances to counter punch, be aggressive or defend correctly, then it's an interesting match and can go 50/50. If you are at a state to come in the ring to kill me, to TKO me permanently, then you are way likely to win.

   All considering many other factors like training, body composition and so on are roughly equal, the deal breaker is state of consciousness.

   Yes, it's a hypothetical of another context, but I hope it makes sense.

Is he seriously taking credit for creating anti-SJWism and owning the Libs? That's like claiming you invented jerking off. Lol

Pretty sure conservatives have hated on hippies since forevar. They don't need TJ to teach them how to troll and hate.

P.S. Why does TJ look like a Hasidic Jew? He was supposed to be an atheist.

He is talking about within the format of YouTube talking heads.

Pretty recently he had a mushroom trip where he wanted to get back his Youtube throne after years of obscurity, and he had a vision that he was going to save the world and be the king of the world. So now he's working out incessantly so he can have the physique of a king and trying to figure out how to make videos again.

@Danioover9000 No idea why we're talking about states.

   Because you can speak about the same idea, but your delivery of the idea would vary depending on your state of mind/emotions/consciousness.

   No, I'm not talking and government states.

It also depends on whether you're sitting on the toilet or not. Not sure why we're talking about it.

The mushroom unlocks the power of the mind.

Well, depends how much you fumble with the lock. He has certainly done psychedelics before.

He was def one of the first big anti-SJW people. He basically radicalized me into that genre when I was mid teens, like 13-16. I'm soooo glad I grew out of it.

I wouldn't say he invented it, but he was a pioneer of that genre for sure and is probably responsible for influencing a hell of a lot of people with that rhetoric.
