Dangerous

Keep in mind that it’s not hard to be hotter than many of your opponents, so you don’t even have a good excuse. Be Tomi Lahren, not Lena Dunham.


Always keep women worried you might steal their boyfriends when they’re not looking. Always keep men worried your dicking skills far surpass their own.

Be hot.

HAVE FUN

This is one of the most important requirements of being a Dangerous Faggot, and probably the most important reason I win.

What do leftists do when they get together? Sit in a circle and share their feelings with each other. They’ll talk about how unsafe they feel, and gently pat each other on the shoulders. In public, they’ll get angry, yell slogans, and whine about how offended they are by our side’s words.

They don’t look like they’re having much fun, do they?

Establishment conservatives do a little better on the “sense of humor” scale, but you can never escape the feeling that they’d rather be at a Heritage Foundation speaker event. Like the leftists, they can be dreadfully serious sometimes.

My followers win because they know politics isn’t everything. That’s why they mistrust overly serious establishment conservatives, and that’s why they’re so at odds with the Left, who wish to politicize everything from video games to pop songs.

My whole career so far has been an experiment in identity politics designed to reduce the Left to tears and incoherence. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll come out as straight and we can all laugh at how I pulled the wool over their eyes?

No one wants to hang out with squares. They want to go to the party with blackjack and hookers, not the one with Scrabble and Diet Coke.

And right now, I’m throwing the best party in town.

Have fun.

BE DANGEROUS

We live in an age where one side of the political spectrum would like all debate, all challenge to their viewpoints, all diversity of thought to be snuffed out. Why? Because they’re scared. Scared that their political, social and cultural consensus, carefully constructed and nurtured over the past few years, with its secular religions of feminism, enforced diversity, multiculturalism, and casual hatred for straight white men, is built on a foundation of sand.

They have watched as the threats to their order, and the worldview it represents, multiply. They have watched the dream of multiculturalism die at the hands of Islam, despite all their attempts to downplay and cover up the atrocities.

They have watched as the idea of “socially constructed” genders and races, once dogma in the academy, slowly fades into irrelevance, swept away by a new wave of research on the innate roots of our identities, despite all attempts to suppress it.

They have seen their stranglehold on culture, once so steely and strong, slip away. Comedians have grown tired of new language codes. Movie directors and video game designers are fed up with demands for diversity quotas. Artists, ever longing to provoke and challenge, are slowly waking up and realizing that to be left-wing today is to be the establishment.

It’s a scary time to be a leftist. So it’s little wonder that I’m considered to be dangerous, with my mild demands for free speech on campuses, my fact-based objections to feminism and Black Lives Matter, and my wariness of the sexism and homophobia that drifts slowly westward from the swamp of modern Islam.

Those who are frightened of free speech, whether it’s ideas and facts that challenge their side, or jokes that prod at their carefully constructed social taboos, are almost always frightened of something else. It’s not the speech, or even the so-called “hurt feelings” that bother them. It’s that nagging concern which plagues all defenders of fact-free dogma: they might be wrong or they might be unpersuasive. And they just can’t handle that.

Well, no matter. You don’t need to convince them. You’re responsible for your own mind, not theirs.

So use your mind. Be dangerous. Read all the books that your college is too afraid to stock in their library. Find the thinkers and the writers and the artists who have been shamed out of the mainstream, and find out why. You won’t have to look far, I’ll be bringing them to you with my new publishing imprint, Dangerous Books. Get together with your friends and pledge to be as dangerous as possible.

You might not ever be a gay Rosa Parks or Jewish Martin Luther King, Jr., like me. But you can make a dent.

You’re already reading a book you’re not supposed to. Go watch a movie you’re not supposed to.

Or better yet, go make a movie you’re not supposed to.

Write a song you’re not supposed to.

Design a video game you’re not supposed to.

Start a blog you’re not supposed to.

Discuss ideas you’re not supposed to.

Get on social media and tell a joke you’re not supposed to.

Share a meme you’re not supposed to.

State some facts you’re not supposed to.

Be dangerous.

Like that hot guy on the cover.
