Paul Joseph Watson is an idiot
Mouthy, Chad-loving YouTuber in the "own the libs" business owns himself in latest video. This is the best the cultural right wing can do?
For the uninitiated, this article owes its name in homage to the litany of “____ is an idiot” YouTube videos that right-wing media personality Paul Joseph Watson has created in recent years. Unfortunately for Mr. Watson, reminiscent of “Saturday Night Live” cast members finally being confronted by the subjects of their mockery on stage, he clownishly turned his fire on himself in his latest work, while continuing to stare smugly into the camera. In a video uploaded to YouTube on September 8, 2022, titled “Simpocalypse”, Watson bemoans the ever-growing popularity of DIY softcore porn site OnlyFans, where beta male “simps” can pay out-of-their-league women a monthly and/or a la carte fee in exchange for access to their lewd pictures, videos, and direct messages on the platform. This, he claims, further cripples men’s ability to approach women in real life, let alone have a relationship with them. The embarrassment could have been avoided had he stopped there. To be sure, a society of fat, bald incels with erectile dysfunction is one that is quickly sinking. But, not being satisfied, the lowbrow mudslinging extraordinaire decided to carry on telling his nearly 2 million subscribers what’s really screwed up in today’s world: Andrew Tate got deplatformed while only trying to help men stop simping! Hear it for yourself.
After 9 odd minutes of his token mashup of reasoning and taunting, Watson blithely snarls at the end of the video, “But yeah, tell me more about how Andrew Tate is the real villain!” regarding the simp pandemic and the ‘vulgar, amoral opportunists raking in multi millions’ off of their victims. It is here where Mr. Watson dug his grave and then cannonballed into it. Even now in postmodern times, such ignorance is challenging to grasp, especially when displayed by a man whose entire career is owed to mocking clueless degenerates. Because he could not be bothered to tell the obvious truth, be it out of hypocrisy, laziness, or simple stupidity, below is the story of how Watson’s anti-simp hero and martyr Andrew Tate made his millions.
So it turns out that “vulgar, amoral, opportunistic villain” also describes, to a T, Paul Joseph Watson’s hero against the other shadowy, vulgar, amoral, opportunistic villains of the simp underworld. Oh, okay. How the hell does he miss this? The scope of Andrew Tate’s own mass exploitation of simps, and the beautiful women living in poverty that he scammed them with, is deserving of its own book, which will likely be written in the years to come. Perhaps he will write it himself and further line his already hefty pockets, explaining away his repugnant behavior as being all in the past, and how it was just one big misunderstanding. Sounds about right. Until then, he’s busy re-launching the latest iteration of Hustler’s University for $49.99 a month, ostensibly so that you don’t become one of the simps he used to rake a fortune off of from seedy dens in Romania. You have to hand it to the bastard, just like the megabanks that control the fate of the world, he appears to profit from both sides. A defining characteristic of evil geniuses, big and small.
None of this apparently matters to Paul Joseph Watson, who in addition to name-dropping Mr. Tate in the above cringeworthy video, has also befriended him on some level. This affinity for bullies and trashy, chad behavior fits the growing narrative about Watson that was also described in a recent tell-all YouTube video by former peer Lauren Southern, a woman who he loudly and repeatedly humiliated on Twitter in 2019 for selling out her contemporaries in the right-wing political scene. Although the latter accusation proved to be untrue, what appears to be true is that Paul Joseph Watson only despises Ms. Southern because, according to her tell-all, she refused him for sex after a dinner date and hanging out at his apartment for a few hours.
As you can see below in another segment from Ms. Southern’s video, the consequences of turning down Mr. Watson’s advances have been long lasting.
For those who may still doubt Ms. Southern’s claims of Watson’s drug use and general insanity, she is not the only one. Another run-in Mr. Watson had with a young, wealthy, attractive Pakistani immigrant in the UK claimed the same on Twitter in July 2020 under the now-defunct handle “@ramshaaleeze” before deleting the tweets (the entire account has since been deleted). Moreover, it takes a special sort of lunatic to text, “Leave me alone” to someone deliberately not talking to you. The guy is, as they say in his neck of the woods, by all appearances a nutter. A nutter whose videos have been viewed over 537 million times on YouTube alone. And while it would be wrong to categorically dismiss everything Mr. Watson has claimed throughout the course of his work, it should give any sane person pause when you see who the shady wizard is behind the curtain. It may sound cliché or obvious, but nevertheless bears stating — who we give our trust to matters.
It’s a fatal tragedy that our biggest cultural figures who oppose “mainstream” leftist freaks promoting the normalization of debauchery such as scantily clad drag queens reading library books to little kids, are so often debauched themselves, albeit in a more familiar, traditional sense. This is of course, not hard to see, from right-of-center figures of the last generation like the late Fox News boss Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly, to current alt-right figures like Paul Joseph Watson and, apparently, now Andrew Tate, given his newfound status among gullible right-wingers as a cultural pillar to rally around. How awful it is to even write such a thing. To the casual simpleton, whose vote and therefore opinion is still thought to count towards our collective destiny, you can hardly blame them as time goes on for not being able to tell the difference between who’s decent and who’s not.
All of this to say, “taking out the trash” has always been more than a household chore for a society that wants to survive. We’ve neglected our inherent responsibility to police our leaders (and ourselves) in a way that Jefferson would be ashamed of. As a consequence, Western society has allowed its worst human trash to pile up in the cultural and political landscape of both sides, due to rolling out enough distractions to keep its masses entertained, who themselves are overwhelmingly ethically questionable in the 21st century. It is no longer acceptable to continue howling on about the smell of the other sides’ rubbish while standing in your own. And it obviously in truth never was.
A right wing political movement that wants to meaningfully oppose the far-left tyrants and technocrats, who have taken over every institution in the Western sphere with the threat of subjugating all of its occupants to the cruel whims of their godless intellectuals, cannot be led by unserious, juvenile antagonists like Watson and Tate. If you take a look around, time looks to be running out on civilization. Do you think the answers to saving it are behind the paywall at Hustler’s University?
