Here’s what happened friends, I turned on my video camera to make a super quick answer for a reader…

And I ended up with an epic 40 minute video about what it means to be a visionary.

The video turned out so well I had it transcribed and turned it into an article. The article turned out to be a 6,000 word epic tale.

The title is The Shocking Truth About Mike Cernovich but inside you will find much more.

This is a complete article about what it means to be a visionary.

This also tells a whole bunch of behind the scenes stories about myself and my pal Cernovich and our time in Vietnam.

I have never before used the word epic, but this article and video is epic.

Set aside some time because this isn’t a quick fix of gossip, friends, we are going DEEP.

The Shocking Truth About Mike Cernovich

You can watch the video, you can read the article, or you can do both at the same time.

Like the girls in Thailand say, up to to you.

NOTE: All links will open in a new page, so you can continue to watch, read and open links without worrying about breaking the flow of the video.

Now… Let’s go deep down the rabbit hole.

Full Transcript of The Shocking Truth About Mike Cernovich…

Hey guys, V. Pride here, 5:40 in the morning. I have been up since 3, kicking ass and taking names. Haven’t made a video in a while, decided I would and I decided I’d make this video about Mike Cernovich … and all the reasons I hate Mike Cernovich.

Just kidding, guys. Cernovich is a great guy, good friend of mine. I know many of you have questions about him. But you shouldn’t. He’s transparent fully online.

He only tweets about 27,000 times a day. So if you did have any questions about him, they should have been answered by now but I’ll give my take, okay.

I’ve known of Mike since at least 2013, possibly 2012, I don’t know which one. But when I first saw his work my first thought was another B&D copycat, what can you do.

And there was, I saw something though that even though it was very very similar to mine I saw something…. I saw insight. The real copycats don’t have, copycats don’t have real insight. And I saw some real insight.

Copycats don’t have insight … & Danger & Play had real insight.

And one day I saw a new article on Danger & Play called Bold & Determined: An Outstanding Blog and he had written a blog post about how he just found Bold & Determined and it covered how we share similar philosophies, how we are very similar in our thought.

And I thought okay great so he wasn’t copycatting, he just obviously feels the same way I do, great! Great that another person like that is out there. That’s Fantastic!

So he released that article and we became friendly without speaking. If that makes sense… friendly without speaking.

Sometimes I would link to him in my articles, he would link to me on his articles, this that and another. But we didn’t speak for a year. Busy men don’t get around and chit chat.

That was 2013. You could have never had a conversation with me in 2013, I was busy. It couldn’t have happened. It was not a person that you could speak to in 2013.

But I knew Mike Cernovich, he knew me and we shared this connection, not in a homosexual way. We shared this connection in a way like… kinship, maybe you could call it.

And of course you always have questions about people you don’t know. And at this time Cernovich had not shown his face, he had not shown his name and he had not shown his voice.

You never know until you know for sure. And when I knew for sure that he was legit. I was sure that he was legit. But when I knew *snap* yes, he’s legit when I saw the first photo of him that I saw, I knew right away that we had the same philosophies.

And when I saw his photo, I understood fully why. The photo that I saw and I will post it here in this video so you can see as well. It’s a gym photo of him looking mean and strong and sort of aggressive in a quiet way.

Mike Cernovich – Mean & Aggressive Bully?

And I could relate to that fully. I could understand that fully. The photo that I saw he was geared up at the time, he was fully juiced up and I could relate to that very well because I was fully juiced up at the time as well.

So I knew we would both have the same understandings about that type of thing. Another thing about looking mean, really means that you are a peaceful man. I know that sounds strange but that’s what that means.

When you look like that, when you like you look in that photo, when you look hard, when you look menacing. When you look like somebody that you shouldn’t…

When you look like somebody that shouldn’t be fucked with, it’s because you want to be peaceful. It’s because you don’t want people to fuck with you.

So you look like that, so they don’t. And the the message is clear…  if you fuck with me, I will hurt you. So, don’t fuck with me. And that’s how peaceful men live.

You have to live in strength to live in peace.

You have to be prepared for war to be peaceful.

And that’s what I took away from the first photo that I saw of Cernovich. And I was relieved!

Right away I was relieved when I saw the photo, that he wasn’t an internet faker. Because until you see photos, you don’t know! You don’t know what these guys looks like.

He could have been like a stick figure. He could have been a big fatso. He could have been anything. But he wasn’t. He was exactly as he portrayed himself on the blog, so I was relieved right away.

I don’t know when we first started speaking but I do remember… After I saw that photo I was sure he was legit… And then I heard his voice. And I thought Oh no… How was I so wrong? He’s a nerd! How was I?! Arrggghh! How was I so wrong?

But you can’t do anything about your voice. Your voice is your voice, you sound like what you sound like. So, even if you sound, I don’t mean any offence to Mike, he knows he has a high pitched voice like Mike Tyson.

But it caught me off guard. It did. I thought, my first real thought was he sounds like a cartoon Jew. That’s exactly what he sounds like. I thought Oh Gosh, I aligned myself with a nerd.

But the more you hear his voice, the less you hear his voice. I don’t hear his voice anymore. I heard it right away, I heard the high-pitched, you know I don’t wanna say squeaky. But he’s got a high pitched voice, alright.

But you don’t notice it after the first or second time. It’s just, it’s normal. That’s his voice. He could not possibly sound any other way. That’s his voice. It’s very unique. It’s very very unique to look…to be a big guy, to be a strong guy and have a voice like that it’s very unique. It works very very well on a podcast.

He’s got a great podcast voice. I think he didn’t think he had a good podcast voice at first, but he does because it’s unique. And there’s something about the tone and the frequency and the pitch of a voice that makes it easy to hear on a recording.

My voice on a podcast I have heard many, many times that my voice just seems muddled on a podcast. It’s hard to hear.

If I go to a club and I go try to talk to a girl, she’s not gonna hear me. It’s not happening. She’s gonna say What? What? What? What? And I am just gonna keep trying to talk to her and she’s gonna keep saying what what what.

That’s because of the pitch, the timbre or whatever of my voice it doesn’t cut through. I don’t know how to say it, but it’s not a good voice for broadcasting.

And Mike Cernovich does have a good voice for broadcasting because it’s unique and you can hear him clearly. You can hear him clearly. Sometimes my voice, listen to my podcast it becomes muddled, bassy, hoarse.

So I was concerned about his voice but those concerns quickly went away. And now like I said, I don’t even hear it. It’s just yeah that’s his voice. If he sounded, if he had a deep voice it wouldn’t be right. It just wouldn’t be right.

So he is legit. And not because of his voice, or because of his picture but because I have met him many times and I know him very well. He did live with me in Vietnam for a period.

We didn’t speak that much, we didn’t speak that much because… why? You know. Why?

If you have two busy men on a mission, on their own mission, they’re busy, they’re busy working.

He was busy working, I was busy pretending to work. I was busy wanting to work but I couldn’t. I had a mental block in 2015. That’s fixed, it’s gone. I’ll write about it on Bold and Determined.

But I had a very bad mental block. To the point that I wanted a heavy workload. I wanted to work more. I wanted it, I just couldn’t. I had brain fog to the absolute ultimate, to the max.

And it took me a long time to get rid of it. Heat was a big part of it. Heat, dehydration, it really brought on symptoms of hypoglycemia which means you feel, your head isn’t clear and it makes it very hard.

So I couldn’t work very well that year, even though I wanted to. I couldn’t. I couldn’t even talk. The words wouldn’t come out of my mouth. The words wouldn’t come out of my head. I knew the words but they just…  there was a block and they couldn’t come out.

So that doesn’t have to do anything with Cernovich but it does have to do with the renewed productivity you see on B&D which I will discuss more in the future…

How to avoid situations like that. And just a quick background; I was in that climate, that tropical climate, for over 3 years and … cooked my brain a little.

But I am back, I’m better. Here I am in California. Best weather in the world. 6 o’clock in the morning, energy through the roof and that’s why I decided to make a video.

So is Cernovich the real deal? Back to my original point. Yeah, he is the real deal. What you hear on the podcast is what he’s really like. What you read on Danger & Play is what he’s really like. What you see in his tweets… A little what he’s really like.

The Cernovich school of twitter is not about expressing your personality, so don’t get that twisted. Not everything he says on twitter is true. But you’ll never know what’s true and what’s not true. And that doesn’t even matter really because there’s so much to say here.

Blast 5 tweets. Narrow it down. Blast 5 more. Narrow more. AB test those 2. Find your “hook”. Repeat. The @Cernovich school of twitter.

— VICTOR PRIDE (@VICTOR_PRIDE) June 20, 2016

Let’s back up, again…

Cernovich was gonna come and stay with me in Thailand. At the end of 2014, we made a plan for a business. We were going to do together from Thailand. What was the business? None of your business!

I don’t want you to steal that idea because it was gold. But he was gonna come out to Thailand. I rented a house in Thailand, $6,000 a month, I put down the deposit which I lost because I had to leave Thailand.

The thing about living in third world countries like Thailand is that the rules are not set in stone. They can change at any moment. And I was having real issues keeping my visa to stay in Thailand.

Now you could stay in Thailand 30 days at a time. Then you had to leave Thailand and come back and that got really old. I did that for a long time.

I left Thai, I stayed in Thailand for a month and left and came back many many many times. And it just got old. I wanted to stay somewhere. So we went to a neighboring country, Vietnam. Where I had people that I knew. And I rented a house there, I rented a mansion there.

It was at this mansion that I wrote my masterpiece: About: Bum Mentality, Money, Mansions, Girls, Heart and Soul

And I didn’t know if Cernovich was gonna come or not. Because at that exact time that we were planning our business, Cernovich took off on twitter. That’s the exact time the whole twitter thing started becoming a thing.

It started with Gamergate which I didn’t understand and I don’t really understand what Gamergate is now. But I do understand what Cernovich is doing on twitter now. It took me two years to understand but I do understand now.

Back then I didn’t understand. And I wasn’t angry but here’s how I felt – AHHHH! That’s how I felt… AAGGHH!

I felt that way because I knew that our business that we had planned was not going to happen. It simply wasn’t going to happen.

If you have one mission that takes all of your time, you don’t have any other time to do anything else.

And I knew right away when I saw the Gamergate twitter stuff happen that that’s the avenue he’s going. So our business, it’s done!

If he wants to come out here and stay I’m still happy. I’d love to have him. But the business that we were gonna do – not happening. And I knew that right away.

I don’t know that right word is, disappointed maybe? The right word is eehh. It is what it is. eehh.

So we were going to do that business, it didn’t happen. I had to leave Thailand. We had planned to live in Thailand. We got a terrific terrific place in Thailand. Awesome house in Thailand, just phenomenal.

And I emailed him and said Hey man, I have to leave, I have to leave Thailand. I got to, you know. It’s really getting very, very stressful trying to stay here. So I’m gonna go. I’m gonna move to Vietnam.

He emailed me back and said thanks for letting me know. And I went to Vietnam and I rented a house the first day I was there. Rented a mansion.

I rented a mansion for a couple of reasons. I thought Cernovich might come out. But I knew that I wanted to have some interns come out and I needed to have space for interns to come out and live. And that’s what happened, we had two interns come out.

I think we had a 5 bedroom. So we had some staff that lived there, some Vietnamese staff and we had two interns who lived there who worked for me as apprentices.

Pictured from left: Victor Pride, Tucker, Samuli from Vahva and Mike Cernovich. Location: Saigon, Vietnam

One of my apprentices in Vietnam is starting to do great things in the world of movement training: See Vahva Fitness and Movement 20XX.

And then one day Mike said yeah, I am flying to Vietnam. I’m doing it. And I said cool.

So he gave his flight information. I went to go pick him up from the airport because the address for our house is a little hard to find if you don’t really know it. So you know, I figured it best, the guy flew you know, that’s like a 30 hour flight.

So I wanna go to the airport and pick him up, make sure they made it okay, didn’t get scammed or anything like that. So I waited and waited at the airport for an hour and I get a call on my phone. And Cernovich is like ‘Victor Pride?’

I am like Yeah. He’s like hey I am in the taxi headed to your house. I’m like ‘umm okay. I’m at the airport waiting for you. I didn’t even see you. But okay.

So I went and got my taxi, it was waiting for me. It took me back to my house. When my taxi got home is the same exact time Cernovich’s taxi got there. His taxi took twice as long ’cause they didn’t knew how to get there.

Mike first day in Saigon, Vietnam: Become More Mindful by Checking In

So we arrived at my house at the same time even though he left like 20, 30 maybe 40 minutes earlier. So we arrived at the same time, met, and I was a little peeved at him not telling me that he took a taxi but to be fair… I was always in a bad mood at that point in time.

I was always in a bad mood. I was always… that issue that I told you about, I didn’t know it was the heat, I didn’t know it was dehydration. I didn’t know what it was, but it was affecting me in a very negative way.

I was a little mad you know in the taxi ride back but when I got there and when I met Mike and his girlfriend Shauna, I wasn’t mad anymore, I was very happy they they had came out.

*Alarm* Phone ringing* It’s time for me to wake up, its 6 am but I already woke up.

Anyway, so they came out, they stayed at the house for I don’t know 6 months maybe. Lovely people Mike and Shauna, great people, great friends of mine, love them both.

What else?

Gorilla Mindset: The Best Book of 2015

That was the time that Mike finished Gorilla Mindset, great book, a must-read book. If you haven’t read it yet go buy it and read it (amazon).

He truly lives by those principles, he truly does. So that’s a must, it’s the best book of 2015. No contest. Here’s the crazy thing about that….

The best book of 2015, get this, self-published, written in Vietnam. No backing from a publishing house, no backing from any major media outlet, just the will and the desire and the skill to do it.

And he did it, the best book of 2015 written in Vietnam. No publisher, self-published.

I don’t know how much money he made from that book so far, but I do know it’s a lot. So if you think you need a big time New York book publisher, guess again man, it’s a new world.

It’s a new world boys and it’s all on you, anything you wanna do, do it.

It does not even matter the soil that you’re standing on. You can do it from Vietnam, Timbuktu, Tanzania or Texas. But if you go somewhere hot, drink enough water. Take my word for it.

So, Gorilla Mindset, great book, must read book, must implement book. It’s no good if you don’t implement it. And the way that I read books now, I feel is the best way to read books.

I don’t read, I study. I read a little bit and I take notes. So the way that I would read Gorilla Mindset today: I would open it up on my computer, I would use Amazon cloud reader. I would open it up there, I would open it up big so that I can see it.

I would lay down on the couch or the bed and I would open up a notepad on the computer as well. And I would read and I would read and whenever anything struck me I would stop reading and I would take notes about it.

I would copy and paste from the book into my notepad and then I would add my own notes and continue to do that until I finish the book. Which might take a while because of the note taking process.

But that’s how you get the most out of books, especially a book like Gorilla Mindset or the forthcoming New World Ronin which drops November 8 election day, my book, the masterpiece.

That’s how you wanna read books and get the most out of them — take notes.

Take notes. You have to study books, not read books. You have to study books. A book like Gorilla Mindset you have to study. A book like New World Ronin you have to study.

These are not novels, these are not fun-time reads. Even though they’re fun and high energy and fast paced reads. You have to study them to get the most out of them.

It requires a little bit on your part, you see. You can’t just read it and then all of a sudden you get it. That’s not how it works like that. There’s a lot of information in Gorilla Mindset and the forthcoming New World Ronin.

You cannot read it one time and absorb all the information, the information comes to you in patches. That’s why I suggest you read a little bit and take notes. And then implement those notes in your day.

And then go back the next day, read another chapter, take extensive notes and do it that way so you can really, really retain and absorb and understand more of the information.

You can read a book one time and you can take one thing away from it and the book is worth your purchase.

But if you can take away ten things from a book instead of just one by taking the time to study it, then that’s going to make your life better, your business life better, your personal life better, your friendships better, this and that and the other.

It’s going to get better if you can get better information. You read a book one time and you get one piece of advice, tip, information, that’s great, that’s a success. But to get the most, to get the most, study it.

Get everything you can out if it. These people who have information, it took them years, years, years, years. A person like Cernovich, it took him years to write Gorilla Mindset.

It didn’t take 6 months to write Gorilla Mindset, it took 35 years.

I watched him write Gorilla Mindset, I watched him write at the coffee shop that we always used to go to. I watched him write it.

But it didn’t take him 6 months to write it! It took him 35 years to write it. It just came pouring out in 6 months but it took 35 years of study to know it, to get it.

So you can’t read a book one time and get it. You have to study, it takes time. So study it.

What else? What else about Cernovich? What’s Cernovich doing now? Twitter. Twitter is the big thing.

That’s the thing about hanging out with Mike Cernovich. He will be on twitter while you’re talking, he will be on twitter the whole time. Twitter is a full-time job. So just get used to that.

I didn’t get that two years ago. I didn’t get twitter. I didn’t get the whole SJW thing, I didn’t get the Gamergate thing, I didn’t get none of it. I didn’t get none of it at all. I didn’t understand what he was doing.

But I understand now. I don’t know if I can explain it to you, I could try, but I do get it. It took me two years to get it, but I get it.

*Drinks water* I have a severe drinking problem. You’ll have to excuse me.

So the Cernovich school of Twitter — What’s going on with the twitter? What’s the goal of the twitter? Let’s see if we can find out.

You see Cernovich tweeting a thousand times a day, but it’s not haphazard, it’s not plan-less. There is a plan, there is a method to the madness.

And I’m not sure if I understand what drives Mike Cernovich. I know it isn’t money. I know that it isn’t money.

I think what drives Cernovich is … WAR.

That’s what I think. War in the new age. That’s what I think.

What I really think Mike Cernovich gets off on is helping people who don’t have a voice. And I don’t mean minorities, I don’t mean gays who have a gigantic voice in the media.

I mean the people who really don’t have a voice. For example the African farmers, the Boers who are being murdered and having their farms and lands stolen from them in South Africa and not many people are talking about that. I think its things like that, that drive Cernovich. Among others.

You get these characters like Cernovich, or myself, or my good friend Chris Deoudes. And they’re not so easy to define.. they’re not so easy to define. They’re not so easy to just say what their motivation is.

I’ll tell you about my friend Chris from Good Looking Loser. Chris, Good looking loser. Mike Cernovich, Danger & Play. Victor Pride, Bold and Determined are the tri-fecta of great blogs.

We are the three greatest blog artists in the world. We have the 3 best blogs. So for a long time, we had that connection of being the three best friends that ever lived. That’s a joke obviously, but we had a connection of being the top three. The three top dogs.

And some of these younger guys who wanna get in the business. I can see their motivation, I can get it. I don’t know the motivation of Mike Cernovich and I don’t know the motivation of Chris Deoudes.

And Chris Deoudes is my business partner. We work together daily, daily. I don’t know what his motivation is. It’s not money. It’s not money. I don’t know what his motivation is and that’s a good thing.

You should never be so easy to figure out.

So, if you don’t know what’s going on with Cernovich’s twitter, you don’t need to know what’s going on with it.

It’s not your business to know what’s going on with it. It’s his business to know what’s going on with it. If he knows the plan that’s all that matters.

Eventually, if you pay attention, you’ll get it, you’ll see. Eventually, you’ll see. You won’t see it right away because you’re not the visionary.

Only the visionary will see it right away, anybody else will not see it right away.

So… I didn’t see it right away. I didn’t understand what was going on. I see it now, you see. I had to catch up.

A visionary starts years in advance and Mike Cernovich is a visionary, believe that. What he is doing with his twitter is visionary.

And I see that now. I didn’t see it then, I thought it was a waste of time. Two years ago we were going to make a lot of money in our business idea.

We were gonna make a lot of money. Well, that was the plan. And he killed it, he killed it. We never spoke about it. We never once spoke about it.

That’s the thing about people meeting people on your level, you don’t have to explain things. I never had to explain anything to Cernovich and I don’t have to explain anything to Chris Deoudes. They just get it.

So when he started the twitter thing, we never discussed that our business was not gonna happen. But we … yeah, duh. Of course it’s not gonna happen, why talk about it? We already know.

That’s what visionaries do, they take the risk. They take the risk of looking stupid right away to look like a genius later.

And where I’m sitting two years later from the first Gamergate tweet stuff to now, two years later. Maybe yes two years later, almost two years later.

Back then I thought – What the fuck are you doing man? You crazy? You’re gonna kill our business for this?

Now I think yeah, you made the right choice. I didn’t see it, and you did, you absolutely made the right choice. What you’re doing right now is legendary. For sure. What Cernovich is doing on Twitter right now is legendary.

I thought twitter was a joke. I didn’t pay attention to twitter, I didn’t get on twitter for a long time, but I see it now. I see the power of twitter. I see what he’s doing on twitter now.

I’m not even sure I can explain to you what he’s doing. It makes sense in my head. But the thing about ideas, they take a long time to be put into words. Understand, they take a long time to be put into words.

Great ideas … Great vision …

You can’t just say the words right away.

The words don’t come right away, that’s not how it works. It takes a long time to put what you know in your head and what you know in your heart into words that other people will get.

That’s why it takes me so long to write a post on Bold and Determined. I have the information, but what takes me so long is how can I say it? How can I say it in the right way?

I have a billion trillion articles I need to write, I have a billion trillion articles I wanted to write but I just couldn’t find the right way to say it.

And before recently I would only publish an article infrequently, maybe once a month, once every three weeks, even up to once every six weeks AN article. Because it would take me so long to figure out the write words to say what I was trying to say.

And I don’t have the right words yet to describe Cernovich’s twitter plan and his plans to make America great again.

I get it, I get, I get a snippet of it. I don’t get the full thing but I get… I see it much clearer. But I don’t know, I don’t know how to say it.

It’s marketing, it’s influence, it’s self-promotion, it’s activism, it’s a game, it’s a challenge, it’s a challenge to beat the enemy.

It’s a challenge to beat the enemy. It’s a test.

It’s ….. it’s an obsession and it’s fun. That’s the one thing that probably escaped me the most, just how fun it is.

Behind the scenes, I’m sure Mike Cernovich laughs harder at his twitter feed than he laughs at the best standup comedian.

And you’ll never get that until you start doing what he’s doing. It’s so funny. It really is, it’s so much fun. So, it’s all of those things wrapped one.

It’s a fun little game of war and the stakes are high.

And they don’t mean anything. And they mean everything.

So you see when I’m saying when I say it takes a while for the words to come. So when you see a visionary doing something that you don’t understand, give it some time. Just wait.

Because eventually, you’re going to have that “Aha” moment. Eventually, you are gonna say oohhh … ooohh … Oh!

You’ll have that moment but you still won’t be able to put it into words. They’ll be up here, but the process of getting it from here to here out your mouth via words. That could take some time.

So this is a long video, let me wrap it up. I started talking about what’s the deal…

What’s the deal with Mike Cernovich?

Here’s the deal with Mike Cernovich … TRUE.

Well here’s the deal: true. True. That’s the deal with Mike Cernovich.

I didn’t say fully honest or fully forthcoming. I said true, true. What he’s doing is TRUE!

If you have no idea about Cernovich, and Twitter and the SJW’s, and Gamergate and Trump and you have watched this far in the video, that’s dedication.

See Why #GamerGate Is Important

So let me explain you a little bit about what I mean what Cernovich is doing is: he’s working against the SJWs who are the social justice warriors who are the people that hate America, basically. I mean they really do, they really have hatred for America.

So you have two sides of America: You have people, you have patriots who love America and you have these subversives, these SJWs as they’re called now. They’ve had different names throughout history, they’ve always existed.

They are mentally unstable, all of them. And they have infiltrated many many positions of power. The mainstream media is fully fully SJWified. It’s fully leftist, the mainstream media.

What Cernovich is doing is combat.

Guerrilla warfare, guerrilla combat through twitter.

And he is trying to bring back RIGHT and I don’t mean right wing, I mean what is right. Because the far left, the SJW’s, they are wrong. They are wrong, they are destructive, they are mentally unstable.

And the right is right. The right is strength. It is self-preservation. It is self-reliance.

So Cernovich, is fighting a war between good and evil. And I’m not joking when I say that. That’s really what’s happening.

Its fun, but it’s a war between good and evil. And Cernovich is on the side of good.

And he’s not a person whose gonna jump the ship towards the side of evil, not even for money because he’s not motivated by money.

I wanted to make a billion trillion dollars with the guy and he’s like Naah! I’d rather fight for good and evil.

You can trust people who have money but aren’t motivated by money.

You can’t trust people who don’t have money but aren’t motivated by money because they are liars. They don’t know the deal. They don’t the score.

You can trust people who have money and do work that isn’t all about money. And the twitter stuff, yeah he sells books. What does his book do?

a) Makes him money but

b) Spread the message

It’s fun. It’s just a fun game. It’s the game of business. It’s the game of damn good business even if it looks like he’s just sending some tweets or having fun on twitter.

It is a business. It’s the game of damn good business. It’s the only business (game) worth playing.

And the goal is to always get to a next level just like a video game. That’s what Cernovich is doing, trying to get to the next level. And he is.

He broke out of the manosphere ghetto which is a goal he had. Two years ago he told me he wanted to break out of the manosphere ghetto and he did in a big way.

He’s been on Rubin report, I think that guy is famous. He’s probably been on some other things, I don’t really watch TV. I really don’t know these guys either. But he broke out of that small manosphere ghetto in a big way.

And I’m sure Donald trump is aware of Cernovich’s twitter. I’m sure. So that tells you the level that he has reached and it’s been two years of work, two years of work.

And not many people will admit to following him even though he has 50,000 followers (70k actually). There are a lot of people who pay attention to him but don’t follow him in public, don’t admit it in public.

So he has become extremely influential in two years. When he started, when he started this journey, maybe that’s his motivation.

Maybe that’s his motivation to be influential on a massive scale. Or maybe I’m just projecting. Or maybe he’s just doing it for fun.

Life is dry and dull and boring if you don’t spice it up.

And I guarantee you, I guarantee you with all my heart I guarantee you at least one time per day Mike belly laughs at one of his tweets or one of the responses to his tweets because it’s so funny to rile some of these people up.

Now I told you he is true and I told you that doesn’t don’t mean he’s always telling you the truth or being exactly forthright.

Sometimes it’s a trap, what he’s saying. Sometimes it’s a trap to catch somebody in the trap.

And when he catches somebody in the trap he does two things:

He laughs hysterically

And he annihilates that person, the enemy

He won’t annihilate a good person, so don’t worry about that. He’s a very nice guy, very nice guy, one of the nicest guys I know. Truly very nice guy. I have never, never in my life, I have never seen him be mean.

I have seen him in person many times, he’s seen me be a complete raging asshole. I’ve never seen him be mean to anybody, be an asshole to anybody.

You know he doesn’t worship his wife like a bunch of dorks do. He’s not like Oh Honey, can I get you anything? Can I.. He’s not like that.

Don’t mistake niceness for weakness.

Don’t do that. I told you before he looks the way he looks so that he can be nice. Look the way you look so that you can be nice. So he can afford to be nice.

Now I told you he is the nicest person, I mean he is one of the nicest people I know for sure. I am also sure that if you got in his face in an aggressive way, you’d get put down, fast.

But the good thing about being a big guy is that you don’t have to. You don’t have to, you don’t have to do that. If you have to do that, if he has to do that he can.

So what else, what else are we talking about. Trying to cover everything about Cernovich in this one video. Well, that’s it.

6:30am now boys, I’m gonna get to work. That’s my final thoughts on Mike Cernovich, go buy Gorilla Mindset. Follow him on twitter @Cernovich

See ya.

Until next time.

Your man,
