On The Latest Right Wing E-Drama
Exploring The Sarah Stock - Elijah Shaffer Controversy
I’m not going to summarize what happened with Elijah Shaffer and Sarah Stock, because if you’re reading this, you’re most likely already aware of the situation. Besides, there’s absolutely nothing I could say that you don’t already know. Instead, I want to talk about the that are not discussed, as well as commenting on the state of the discourse surrounding this whole situation.
First thing I’ll say is that you should expect things like that more often on the right than they appear. That is to say, people in this sphere are living a double life, a trad conservative online and a sexually promiscuous drug addict who likes partying in their private life let’s say. Obviously, a minority of people do that, but it is a significant minority and this minority is more prevalent at the top echelons of power than at the bottom.
As one of my older videos on YouTube has established; this sort of thing is nothing new because right wing e-celebs tend to rank higher in dark triad personalities.
Influencers, and those who seek fame tend to be quite are quite narcissistic and high in dark triad personality.
The pursuit of social status is the primary motivation of narcissism and once this status is achieved a narcissist is able to excuse their interpersonal behavior by appealing to their higher social standing or justify it by proclaiming their own larger social mission.
Noteworthy enough is the fact that people in Elijah Shaffer’s condition, that is those who suffer from substance and drug addiction tend to be like 5 times more psychopathic than the general population.
Any degenerate action after that simply becomes excused by an appeal to social status until a the public comes to terms with the fact that somebody is talking the talk but not walking the walk and thus the influencer is finally confronted with what they did by their own source of status: the public that supported them.
What happened with Sarah Stock and Elijah Shaffer was the public doing precisely that and I would like to discuss the two approaches that the influencers can take in response to the backlash.
The Giving Up Approach
Both Sarah Stock and Elijah Shaffer show elevated traits associated with histrionic personality. However, as a woman, Sarah Stock is more susceptible to intense social pressure and the effects of a coordinated online hate campaign directed against her. Besides, she maintained the persona of a pure virgin that is a model for trad-women worldwide and the simps coming to terms with what she did, understandable caused a lot of anger.
Her initial response was complete silence, followed by a tweet in which she attempted to salvage her reputation, and ultimately culminating in the deletion (or deactivation) of her social media accounts.
Latest report from the founder of AF Post suggest Sarah Stock has decided to step away from politics entirely.
Because Sarah Stock was a highly praised Conservative female influencer, the public opinion shifting 180 degrees overnight is clearly something that she could not handle. Her online persona got exposed and she gave-up.
From a position of moral accountability, perhaps it is the proper response, but from the position of career survival, this is a very dumb move because that is career suicide. Instead, she should have taken the Elijah Shaffer approach, who is frankly accused of more serious things than not living-up to trad-wife standards.
The Doubling Down Approach
Elijah Shaffer got accused of pretty serious shit including homosexuality, promiscuity, drug addiction and being a poor husband. Like with regards to Sarah Stock, there isn’t much conclusive evidence for a bulk of it, but instead of quitting social life Elijah Shaffer chose the Steven Crowder road:
Immediately after the incident Elijah Shaffer fired back at Milo, using comedy to his advantage. He took little accountability and instead turned the arrows to the person who started this.
Unlike Sarah, Elijah showed he doesn’t care about public opinion—even if three-quarters of the audience turns against him, he’ll keep doing what he’s doing. That’s essentially what happened with Steven Crowder, who doubled down on his side of the story and refused to show any sign of losing the argument and eventually after enough repetition his audience came back to him.
I did a poll asking whether or not Elijah Shaffer recover from this and the audience was divided 50/50.
I am the only one who is confident that he will, because Vrillium, Nick Fuentes and many others have recovered despite being canceled multiple times throughout their career by their own fans. The key is to never admit defeat and after enough time people would forget everything about it.
Obviously, I don’t want to excuse any of their actions and I believe that the crowd is ultimately right about them, I’m just saying that the crowd is addicted to hearing their political opinions, not how good of a personal life they’re living. Yes, they’re disappointed, but the crowd will still be for Elijah until he gives up himself.
This is just how life is in general, think of how many times Conservatives and many Leftists have accused Leftist influencers of being hyper-capitalist or not “walking the walk” in other realms of their personal life and how absolutely nothing changed. How the Conservative arguments are continuingly dismissed by their fans, while their hyper-luxurious and classist lifestyle gets excused by the fact that they’re doing something for the movement. This is just another variation of this phenomena but in the social-Conservative arena.
As Nick Fuentes said, he wants to have an OnlyFans wife because at least she’s real about who she is. Perhaps a regular Sarah Stock wouldn’t have cheated on William Setka, but a Sarah Stock influencer, seeking power and career advancement would and that is a common occurrence in circles of power.
You either live a fake trad persona or you come to terms with what you are and live accordingly with your true biological inclinations like Ghislaine Maxwell and Nick Fuentes. The reality is that honest trad lifestyle is going to appeal only to a select number of people and it appears that neither of these people were among them.
One of the tweets I made during this controversy is that if Elijah Shaffer (and Sarah Stock) were Jewish then they wouldn’t have landed in the shit that they have.
I fully stand by that assessment. If there’s one thing the crowd got especially furious about, it’s that they’ve woken up to the realization that they were sold an inauthentic life. If Sarah and Elijah were honest about themselves like Nick Fuentes is honest about himself, then the crowd wouldn’t have reacted so poorly. People should just not create false expectations because once a facade falls down, many of the people believing in that facade would feel betrayed.
That is the main reason why I chose to come forward with my ethnic background so that later down the line I wouldn’t be cancelled over it by chuds. I’m also not trying to pretend like I am a super-traditionalist, a religious person or any of the chud-coded things because I respect and love what I am genetically wired to be.
Honestly, my biggest advice to newcomers to politics on the Right would be to be open and honest about who you are. That way you won’t create false expectations and build an audience that won’t cancel you for living your life inauthentically.
The Discourse
Finally, I’d like to talk about the Discourse all of this has generated. While I do enjoy the memes, I believe the public went to aggressive with it and the fact that’s it’s being amplified by vicious actors on both the left and the Zionist aligned right isn’t helping the case.
First of all, we’ve got Milo who is power-tripping right now as he’s pretending not to get overly excited about what he’s done.
Not sure this is a very wholesome development. If these leaks had to be dropped, I’d prefer someone else doing it and not out of vicious motifs pretending to be the paragon of virtue.
Then we’ve got a bunch of leftists who feel vindicated of their ideology, because supposedly every Conservative wants to cheat on their spouse, get pegged and hallucinate from hard drugs and the leftists are just doing it freely.
Obviously, things like that are hurting the movement and I’d frankly prefer if these two remained closeted. When a person makes a decision to publish sensitive information like this they are doing this with full knowledge that the entirety of the right will be painted in these colors.
That being said, once the information is out, there is no point in doing damage control and neither of them have appeared to deny anything of what’s been said about them. They just picked two separate strategies of coping: full withdrawal and going on an offensive.
At the end of the day, absolutely nothing has changed for me. I knew these things were happening behind the scenes with many of these influencers and so my bias got confirmed once again. If this is news for you then I’m sorry, but welcome to the real world, many of the influencers who are doing politics are doing it for sensation seeking, attention and career advancement and virtue is not as important to them as it is to you.
As one of the studies documented:
The strong association between psychopathy, FoMO, and online political participation suggests that emotion and social-driven political participation may be motivated more by sensation-seeking and impulsivity rather than deliberative civic engagement.
Finally, to make you completely black-pilled, much of what we’ve discussed is dependent on IQ and so you would definitely expect smart influencers to engage in this stuff even more often than what data suggests.
That said, I wish everyone all the best, including Sarah Stock and Elijah Shaffer and especially William Setka. I will be missing Sarah Stock and I wish that she didn’t delete her YouTube channel because there is an interview I bookmarked and didn’t have the time to watch. I guess I will never see it.
