Gavin MacInnes can write like a motherfucker and he's hilarious.
He ended up quitting the group because a guy was being prosecuted after a brawl with antifa and his lawyers felt that him dissociating from the group would help his case.
It didn't, that guy got an incredibly unfair sentence.
You shouldn't be talking that way about Gavin fucking MacInnes. No matter how he's sold out, and how selling out has fucked him (imagine if Vice was still nothing but him writing under pen-names, instead of the atrocity it's become) he's still one of Canada's greatest celebrities.
(To leave this country's tax system after having used our grants to ensure his rise.)
(As is tradition.)
I'm sure there's more to it than is apparent to me, but in my view, it's a case of trying and failing to repair an inevitable failure. He isn't what men need. He isn't what boys need. He never knew what he was doing.
The best and worst thing I can say about him, is that he apparently knew how to do it, though.
Gavin MacInnes is a comedian and a writer, and a talented one at that but I agree with you fully when he tried to be a role model and got involved with all the Proud Boys shit.
If he'd stuck with just having it as a men's group then he'd be fine. There is nothing wrong with fraternal orders of men having drinks together, that's great for society as a whole.
The problem was that he was doing that "offensive speakers come to a liberal university campus" shit and he started encouraging the group to come out and fight back against Anti-fa. That was what sent the group off-the-rails.
There is nothing to be gained by fighting antifa apart from clicks and crowdfunding.
He should have stayed in his lane. He's a clown, not a leader and he's certainly no Mussolini.
He could have had his fun men's club, harvested the popularity and done whatever but instead he had to flush the entire thing down the toilet because he wanted to do lucrative speaking tours with Milo Yiannopoulos and Anne fucking Coulter.
It's a shame.
Hmm, that's a perspective I hadn't considered. Well, hopefully things turn out better with him in the future.
He needs to come home.
I love the States, but the States can be poisonous for many Canadians.
As has been the case with Gavin MacInnes.
