General GunTuber thread

From what I've heard, Black Rifle Coffee forces a lot of folk to bend the knee and suck their dick for funding for their stuff.

I know there have been rumors that Donut got a major acting gig on a Vet TV show BECAUSE Black Rifle threatened to yank their funding from Donnie O'Malley's Vet TV website if he didn't. And that Black Riffle's meddling with content on Vet TV led to O'Malley losing his two main writers/actors (Fernando Rivera and Greg Kelly; who besides acting in various supporting roles, wrote about 90% of Vet TV's original programming). Both Rivera and Kelly got tired of Black Riffle demanding plugs in their works and casting gigs for their friends, along with the rumors that the recent accusations about O'Malley not paying writers for ideas were orchestrated by Black Riffle Coffee over O'Malley telling them off when they tried production of S2 of "A Grunt's Life" from O'Malley by demanding he cast their friends and demanding script approval, to "send a message to him" for defying them.

How long until we find out that black rifle coffee is some kind of glow in the dark op to fuck up the community? Their entire thing seems to be to force people into bad decisions and spread discord by holding the purse strings.

I saw Ian's book announcement and the the announcement that it was getting pulled and that was all the info I had. From the way he was talking I almost had the impression that the author was a fake vet, not that people just didn't like who he fought with.

Well I guess my dream of Ian tracking down /k/'s Hotaru Maniac and paying him big bucks to write drug-fueled stream-of-consciousness rants about raping Bosnian women in the 1990s is toast.

I get that it's a nasty subject and might make people uncomfortable but it's also reality.

No, I think you missed the point - shooting, blood and guts, dead russians? That's okay. But the guy who wrote it is a Swede and a Nazi.
That means we should not be allowed to read what he experienced over there, because that would somehow enable him to be paid for being a Swedish Nazi.

I don't think they even cared about the guy being paid. The Swede could be offering the manuscript for free and they would still be reeeee-ing.

No, no. To use their own terms, they were angry because Ian had the gall, the audacity, to try to platform a Nazi. They don't care about the money, they just believe giving Bad People™ a voice is the highest of heresies.

 

[Champion The Wonder Horse]

If Russ is correct when saying that us K*w* F*r*s chudbigots are very influential gun drama wise it will not be long before the gay faggot Ian McCuckem knows that we think he is a gay faggot.

I do not think that he will be at all passive aggressive like Karl the Cuck is.

Speak for yourself. I still think Ian is sound, I just don't think he was aware just what a pack of leftist jackals Karl and his degenerate ilk are.

Everyone who's not a leftoid should read "Repressive tolerance" by Marcuse, it's basically the manual for how they think and how the world/media works.

I really wanted to read those memoirs, but you're absolutely right and now I can't. He looks like such a swell guy.

Yes. That's a problem for Ian and the kind of audience he wants and the kind of content he wants. Darrin Weaver in his Volkssturmgewehr book had to defend the inclusion of Soviet brutalities in his introduction -he wanted to make clear what was the mindset of the people using the guns he wrote about. He still had to point out that he wasn't a Nazi and lacked any sympathy for them. It's what you do when you write on charged topics, they'll eat you alive otherwise. And we're talking about a book that had a far smaller audience than HS's offerings.

Ian until now was hyper-focused on avoiding politics, just see the spergout people had on South Africa for an example of desperately avoiding that. As other people said, it's a smart move to have access to archives, people and interviews. The memoirs of a Azov swede aren't worth the risk of being deplatformed, or losing access to material and means. Sad as it may be, winning the respect of another minority of terminally-ill online people wasn't worth the risk. Being branded as a right-wing publisher (rightfully or not) would have been a death knell in long term, that's how the world works nowadays.

It's important to understand that for an independent YouTuber Ian has unprecedented access to Museums and private collections around the World. If he has a bunch of Terminally online Antifa Tranny's determined to fuck with him, those doors could all be closed to him.

Also the Author kind of fucked himself by getting on twitter, under his real name.

Even if those organizations would prefer the trannies just 41% themselves, their mere presense makes any person radioactive. The door would shut rapidly and without reprieve.

Why can't we have anything good? I would've read it and now I want to read it more.

Because the person who wrote it is evil and it might make you think bad thoughts.

His actions on that bridge were so vicious, people still shudder at the thought.

Hell, I don't even think they particularly care about people thinking bad thoughts. This is just an artillery shell fired at the enemy trench, as long as it lands close enough it's doing something. The guy could manage to crowdfund a translator and editor and release it as an e-book, but self-published e-books already have a lower status and the nature of the book itself being verboten from print means less sales and lower prices. He could probably get a higher percentage from each sale, but sales figures would be much lower as now he lacks access to Ian's fanbase. And even if he managed to get more money from the e-book than he would from a cut of the physical sales, it's still a win to them because it's also an issue of "platforming". Forcing Carolus underground is already a major victory even if they fail to defeat him financially. Lastly, this creates a chilling effect. Ian was probably stoked about this opportunity and the piranhas tore him to pieces. Now Headstamp and other niche publishing houses will be more risk averse.
The guy loading the shell into the breech doesn't think it's going to end the war. But it's going to fuck up someone on the receiving end, or at least force him to keep his head down.

Remember kids, it's not bookburning if the book doesn't exist yet. And it's double-not bookburning if the book doesn't have a tranny in it.

A thought as I look at my books: This guy needs to go to whoever prints most of Bush War Books' catalog. Floppy slotting memoirs all day long from them.

 

[The Roaring Twenties]

With the book being cancelled and some people voicing interest in first hand accounts, I would recommend "The Freedom Fighter: A memoir of a member of the Donbass Militia in the War in Ukraine". It's written by a pretty exceptional individual with some spergy views, but it does feature some great insights into the early days of the conflict, and what the actual day to day activites were like. You can find some exerpts in this twitter thread.

Truly the worst of the worst.

Never because they aren't, they're just a shitty corporation.

I mean they describe themselves as "Starbucks for conservatives" to potential investors. What else do you need to know

If you want to be that you don't disavow Kyle.

They brought their gay tricked out truck to my usual range one time. I tried a cup of the lightest roast they had and it was like they roasted it in the fires of Mount Doom. no thanks.

Yes you do, because you want to just sell the lifestyle you don't want any controversy around your business. Especially if you're going public soon.

Black Rifle Coffee Company didn't invent the "we are veteran owned and that's literally our only marketable facet" but they damned well perfected it.
