Wow what a fag

What I don't understand is the logic that Nazis are so bad that you can't talk about them. If they're terrible, won't their actions prove it? It's irritating (on purpose).

You can speak about them at length. Academics (laugh against them if you want, but some are okay) like Goodrick-Clarke got out a tons of book dealing with Nazis and neo-Nazis. We have masterful works on how they think and what they want: as a object of study. Letting them have a platform is a non-starting point for a very vocal part of the audience. Call it cucking: it is how it is.

There's also ton of memoirs of weirdo types put out by far-right publishing companies: it's an interesting cottage industry, It's not like what Ian tried to publish does not exist: it merely lacks a platform like Forgotten Weapons to sell thousands of copies.

He got burned and he crawled back to "we'll only do gun books now, please forget it, please". Hope it will work, because he managed in a single masterful stroke to create drama for both sides of the tard coin at once. Again, he should have known better.

It's a shame, I went to the fundraising site last night intending to buy a copy and saw it had been pulled.

Unfortunately Ian seems to still not understand that the tiny segment of his fanbase that is made up of terminally online, twitter-crazed sex perverts are in no ways representative of either the wider shooting community or the sorts of people who are buying 50 dollar coffee table books about old guns and military history.

The fundraising sites have tons of those people, though, which I'm sure figured substantially into his decision.

Even if you don't cuck, websites and payment processors and banks may well cuck on your behalf after you've already invested substantial time and money.

He’s kind of old fashioned for his age. I think he keeps forgetting what kind of world we live in nowadays.

Watching the video, it sounds like he’s disappointed the book won’t be coming and he mentioned that it was taken down by the funding platform and not himself.

Ian by his own admission doesn't have time to be on the internet any longer than strictly necessary to manage comments and reply to messages. So all he saw was one day his viewership was completely on board with whatever he did... then suddenly everybody dogpiled on him. No wonder he was spooked.

 

[HelpingNoone]

"I'll do better!"
Going on youtube and crying is the worst thing he could have done. 95% of his audience doesn't read the comments so this would have been washed under the table. Now it is a thing....

Give the left an inch and they will rape you with whatever's remaining of their flacid tranny cocks.

 

[HumptiDouji]

Even if nothing ever comes out of this, it should at least put a dent on this stupid narrative some people push about Ian being some kind of crypto-leftoid. You don't even consider publishing the memoirs of someone everybody calls a Nazi, much less make the announcement on your own youtube channel, if you're anywhere near the far left.

I'd hope to see less bullshit like that, but then those kinds of people are instead probably furious about the cancellation of the book.

True. Regardless of what people may say these are pro-EU, pro-NATO groups.

If I was Ukrainian, I'd want all goddamn hands on deck to hold off the Russians, differences can be sorted out another day.

However they also love Jews.

Current Year is so strange.

I think that Ian is well adjusted and normal enough that he understands old school things like how studying something can be done from a neutral position and how you can communicate with people even if you don't like or don't agree with them.

Unfortunately I think that he's so well adjusted and normal that he's forgotten which world we currently live in and how retarded the internet is.

I'm convinced he genuinely was ignorant of much of this Azov stuff and just plain took Carolus at his word. He really isn't skeptical enough when it comes to dealing with people in general, be it "it's just politically slanted press" or the expectation that there wouldn't be people who would lose their fucking minds about it and not be able to examine war accounts from people they don't like.

If the project had been approached differently, maybe it wouldn't have turned out like this.

Give the left an inch and they will rape you with whatever's remaining of their flacid tranny cocks.

I think it'll depend on how he'll handle it in the future. If he leaves this behind and never acknowledges it again, the commie trannoid caterwauling will die down.
Showing weakness to these kinds of people is bad, but it only truly unravels if you allow it to escalate, giving in and apologizing for increasingly inane things. It's a cascade thing, IMO.

Ian should have just pushed out the book. I was actually hoping to buy it. Someone quote me if it ends up somewhere else please. I would love to read from the Azov Batt perspective myself.

I think he got spooked by the angry mob going after the ordering website and getting the project unilaterally pulled. Who's to say they wouldn't go after his Patreon (read: 90% of his income) for "neonazi propaganda" if he kept pushing?

It seems like a waste to just toss out a completed book. I'd like to read it even if it was just a free PDF.

Unfortunately the fundraising was to cover professional translation from Swedish, and editing. It's a damn shame that a useful primary source on a grossly under-reported war is getting squished because dangerhaired tacti-trannys had a fit of the vapours about someone who's ideology they don't like publishing a memoir.

You can probably find it if you dig, but you will need to know swedish chefspeak to understand it. Translating it into English was where Headstamp came in.

 

[Corn Flakes]

Didn't see this reply before:

Name dropping the Azov Battalion screwed him. I wish he had played his cards closer to the chest on this one. A real shame too, he looked really broken up about not being able to do it.

It doesn't matter that he mentioned the Azov Battalion. It didn't help, but not mentioning it wouldn't make things any better either.

The moment he mentioned the author, all the people who live on twitter would take a look at the guy's feed and commence reeing. Half the people bitching in the comments to his videos didn't even know what Azov was, they were talking about how the guy who wrote the book was a big meanie on twitter.

 

[Fools Idol]

What the fuck is wrong with westerners? I get that it's a nasty subject and might make people uncomfortable but it's also reality. You can't just divorce these things when it comes to war. And it begs the question, what can they learn about a conflict if they're just going ignore the parts they don't like?

This is why so many of us are completely ignorant about the world.

 

[AGPinochet]

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.

 

[Archie_Kimkicker]

Despite his deficits, Ian has far more talent and skill than Karl, whose only real superpowers are dressing like a wehraboo and telling hurried stories in the desert.

Show me on the doll where Ian and Karl touched you.

 

[Molly White's Breast Milk]

Does anyone have an archive of Ian's announcement video for the book?

I posted them last night, look through my posts and you'll find it.

Oh but you can write all the books you want about Western leftists fighting in the international brigades of the YPG. We can clearly divorce those international brigades from the ones that during the Spanish Civil War mass murdered priests and nuns due to clergy not supporting commie ideals back in the day. Hell, we'll even overlook how the YPG was documented to have demolished homes and driven families out of their land without a military reason (a war crime) and employed child soldiers.
This doesn't even say much about Westerners, this is a purely political play. Almost every organization and ideology can be sanitized and rehabilitated for modern consumption, except for the Nazis, Confederates, etc.

Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that there's a good chance Azov itself might be sanitized if our government keeps pushing their insane idea of fighting against Russia in Ukraine. Suppress all insignia from current-day footage, depict them as heroic men who denounced their far-right origins and are now fighting for NATO and the EU against Russian aggression, hope to God it sticks. As I said, most people have no idea what the Azov Battalion is, and the administration is trying really hard to find a way to motivate people into accepting yet another foreign war.
