The hilarious meltdown of Mike Anissimov

The mask of the dark enlightenment's self appointed leader finally slips

  1. The "dark enlightenment", or neoreactionary movement garnered a bunch of press and attention over the past couple years. For those unfamiliar, it was a far-right political movement that expressed a desire to bring back pre-Democratic forms of government. It was infused with many brilliant software engineers. Its primary appeal to Silicon Valley was its evangelism towards them. Many of its speakers promised skilled nerds the equivalent of duchies and baronies in a new order that, if not outright monarchy, would certainly resemble it. A large swath of the movement was pro-white, as it was a movement made up of engineers and most of them are disaffected white men. To see a movement that was very pro-white gaining such ground and press was encouraging to many, but at some point the whole thing crumbled.
  2. Neoreaction was born with a number of defects. The first is that an elitist movement of nerds comes with a level of condescension that permanently alienates it from welders, electricians, and plumbers, the consent of which are very much necessary for a future revolution. The second is that nerds lack the necessary courage and brutality to orchestrate the kind of purges that the revolution requires. Hell, they even lacked the spine to kick out hangers-on full of unwarranted self-importance with no valuable technical skills. This brings us to the subject of today's piece, one Michael Anissimov.
  3. Anissimov is an autistic manchild that seems highly confused about his sexuality. He spends hundreds of hours playing video games and is reportedly notorious for rimming trannies until they agree to blast his asshole for hours on end, as well as being the ex of Rachel Haywire. He jumped through a few fuzzy-headed liberal techie movements until he found neoreaction. It was so full of terrible betas that he was charismatic enough by comparison to be known as a thought leader. Michael has published a fair amount of material in association with the movement, on a few of its larger blogs. His rhetoric is passable, and his book, "A Critique of Democracy: A Guide for Neoreactionaries" is actually not a terrible work that garnered favorable reviews on some of the most important neoreactionary blogs. The problem with Anissimov isn't his support of neoreaction, which up until this point was cogent and reasonable. The problem is him. Neoreaction's flaw was the attraction of socialites who love the idea of being considered better than other people without the corresponding courage or skill. Anissimov is an empty shell, and finally he got intoxicated enough near a computer to let all the world know this.
  4. For months Anissimov has been obsessed with a female libertarian vlogger. Finally she began publicly rejecting his repeated public advances, and it seems to have psychologically destroyed him. In this regard Mike is quite similar to Kant, who is said to have also been rejected by the only woman he ever worked up the courage to hit on in his life (by a letter).
  5. Unlike Kant, Mike responded by posting repeated threats of violence with strong sexual undertones.
  6. The above was only one of hundreds of anime-themed pictures that Mike has posted to his account in recent months. He seems most obsessed with the above anime character, which leads many to speculate that it may in fact be his "waifu". [edit: storify doesn't preserve images in deleted tweets, only text. image re-added above the original tweet for posterity] For those unaware of the intricacies of anime's degenerate subculture, a waifu is a character, usually a prepubescent girl, that a grown man somehow forms an emotional and sexual connection with. In addition to his obsession with female anime characters, Mike demonstrates a clear obsession with Sonic the Hedgehog:
