I'm not sure why people are calling Cernovich untrustworthy. He's a busy guy yet still finds time to respond to my tweets and DMs. I even speak with him while he's doing his periscopes.
I think he's easily the most pro-Masculine media figure in America at the moment.
It seems people do not understand all of Mike's motives because events are moving so quickly, but Mike is far less duplicitous than many are making him out to be.
1. He deletes most of his Periscopes so people can't make compilations of him saying stuff out of context, although people record his Periscopes anyways so this is a moot point.
2. He jumped the gun on Richard Spencer but has since backed down. They will probably work together again someday.
3. I've yet to see Mike hurt anyone who hasn't tried to hurt him first. He is still loyal to those loyal to him and talks with many on this forum. He doesn't post here anymore but why should he? His platform is massive and he's tending his own garden. That said, I think he would benefit from coming back to the think tank here and taking a break from the bullshit.
He's stated after the deploraball he's going to take a long break, but now that he's got a kid I doubt he'll be posting back here regardless. It would help him sharpen his thoughts though.
I find it truly amazing that after all the sketchy shit I've pointed out that Mike has been doing--all easily verifiable if you bother to check it out--including his wildly disproportionate, unstable responses to "attacks" on him, people
still find him trustworthy.
How can you trust someone who won't even stand by his own past? He's not deleting his periscopes so people can't splice them into out-of-context stuff. That's nonsensical. He's doing it so if one of his periscopes comes out and he takes fire over it, he has plausible deniability and he can just claim "Oh it's fake! It's fake! Soros trolls! Paid shills!" He can't do that if the original record under his own account exists. That's why he's been scrubbing his twitter too.
I finally put it all together while writing this:
he's setting up a situation where he has at least plausible deniability no matter what he does "wrong" online because he can always say it's fake. It's the exact opposite of what an honest person would do if he was worried about someone manipulating his words and message.

If I was affiliated with Mike and he knew details about me, after seeing how he treats people, I would feel held hostage by him. What, I'm going to step out of line, say the wrong thing, and he's going to dox me next? He'll try to ruin my life and put a target on my family? My litany of social sins is bad enough that I could be prosecuted in quite a few countries over what I've said on this site just in the last week.
I've never seen such ridiculous over the top responses to minor slights from any man who didn't turn out to be an absolute liability. Women? Sure. Some bitches are crazy and I have a knack for attracting that sort. But that degree of instability is much more dangerous in a man.
Nobody can watch that clip AB posted where Bryden Proctor called Mike out and say he looks innocent. Dude was scrambling to cover his ass like the only billygoat in an ISIS camp for a good 30 seconds before he got back into "lawyer mode". And tonight, Bryden says Mike is threatening him with a restraining order. But he's totally innocent guys! He had nothing to do with it! It's just a frame job!
I know when someone accuses me of impropriety of which I'm totally innocent the first thing I do is go get a
restraining order. What a fucking bitch move. Cernovich is so innocent he needs to block Bryden Proctor
in real life!

It is completely obvious to me post-December 26th that getting involved with Mike Cernovich in any way is playing with fire. Maybe he'll help you, cook your food, keep you warm... or maybe he'll burn your house down and kill your family. Maybe one then the other. As long as you're useful he'll help you. As soon as you step out of line, get in his way, or it's advantageous for him to take out you, you're toast.
This whole argument is the NTP situation all over again. It has been since day 1 of the Baked Alaska affair. Not that Mike is a plagiarist and a fraud, but in the way his friends and supporters are just handwaving away obviously bad and sketchy behavior. I get it, some of you want to defend your friend, but I don't think I'm out of line when I say I doubt you're very objective in this matter.
I have nothing to gain from tearing Mike down. I'm not his enemy at this point. But since I'm also not his friend and I've never had much to do with him except (maybe?) a few short exchanges here, I think I'm as objective as it is possible to be about all this.
For what it's worth I doubt AnonymousBosch has anything to gain from pointing out the reality of Mike's behavior either.
My only motivation is to get people to see the truth before they put themselves in a bad situation with, or get taken by for a ride by a guy who clearly cannot be trusted to do anything but whatever's best for
himself.
I wrote a long response yesterday and decided not to post it. But now, with this latest round of restraining order bullshit, it's just too fucking ridiculous not to say something.
