Hilarious (in a gross way) glimpse into the life of a Trump troll

Trolls for Trump

A real smoothy, this Mike Cernovitch, with tweets viewed over a hundred million times.

Nowadays, [Cernovitch’s] blog is mostly a platform for pro-Trump spin, but at first it was about how to pick up women. Its name comes from Nietzsche. (“The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.”) Early posts included “Misogyny Gets You Laid” and “When Should You Compliment a Woman?” (Answer: “During or after sex.”)

“We’re having a girl!” [C.'s wife] Shauna said. “I think it’ll be good for him, soften him up a bit.”

“I’ll be nice to her, as long as she’s not a basic bitch,” Mike said.

(Advice from the blog: “Always call your girl ‘babe,’ ” to avoid mixing up names.)

And in 2014 he became a champion of GamerGate, a vicious campaign against feminists in the video-game industry. He goaded his opponents on Twitter: “Who cares about breast cancer and rape? Not me.” Cernovich’s affiliation with GamerGate made him, he said, “toxic in the eyes of a lot of people,” but he calculated that the exposure was worth it.

“I use trolling tactics to build my brand.”

He returned to muckraking mode. “We’re going to make a whole new news cycle about her fucking e-mails again!” he said. “This poor fucking woman.” He started a new Periscope video. “What do you guys want to do for a hashtag?” he said. He decided on #HillarysHacker. It was trending before he finished the video. That day, more than forty-two thousand tweets were posted with the hashtag.

So buddy has an apparent boner-on for HRC. Ultimately in the name of getting that crucial brand of his out there. Classy guy. Wasn’t sure to pit him, considering he’s very elections-oriented right now, but yeah, he deserves here. He’s pukey.

Funny (mordant kinda funny) aside - as I type this (still election eve, pacific time) on TV the Knowledge Network is showing old footage of a Nazi rally, and in big white letters at the bottom of the screen it says “Germany 1933”. I’ll bet anyone my usb stick containing footage of a break-dancing Ken Bone that Cernovitch also happened to be watching this documentary, and drooling.

Surprised he didn’t come up in a search, here. Figured he’d at least be mentioned somewhere in another thread. Curious if anyone can locate anything about this can of mashed assholes.

edit - lol - mods - I brilliantly forgot to copy this into the pit thread - ha! - not sure if I could “nm” an OP or not, so…I’ll just leave this here for whatevs…
