Warren Lynch Shitpost General - TRUE and HONEST (former) John Flynt for Congress campaign worker

[Dr. Boe Jangles Esq.]

They were "horrified that I would talk to GamerGate".

Are they aware we had threads on like 10 different pro-Gamergate personalities? Are they aware an insane British Gamergater is the reason the forum went down for awhile? Are they aware Gamergate ended like fucking years ago?

There is no "Gamergate", my bro. This is like them being afraid you're getting to cuddly with the Whig party. It's dead. They're gone. No such thing exists anymore.

We don't play sides of the aisle, man. That's what cows always fuck up about us. We're not left, right, libertarians, anarchists, nothing. We eat the good, the bad, and the ugly alike. Anyone believing anything can be targeted by a thread if we think it'll be funny to poke them.
We're surprisingly even handed like that.

Did Frank ever say anything mean to you or confront you besides with that weird convo about the raise you never got?

 

[Kosher Dill]

Did Frank ever say anything mean to you

Yeah, I wanted to ask a similar thing. We talk a lot about "bog-hoppers" here, but what's the most hurtful name Frank or John ever called you?

 

[Dr. Merkwurdichliebe]

So Natalie O'Brien, whose job description sounds similar, could have indeed existed.

Still so naive. Still so gullible.

John invented Natalie to keep the Patreon pity bux flowing by claiming that the money was used to pay the nonexistent, 37-month-pregnant bog hopper (with a nod and a smile to @Kosher Dill) to deal with the online and Twitter harassment directed at John by a few random neckbeards and by Frank and by John himself.

Did Frank ever say anything mean to you or confront you besides with that weird convo about the raise you never got?

No, Frank was never mean to me in any way, and never yelled at me about anything. He is a very very patient person.

 

[Sissy Galvez]

Do you think Brianna is drugging Frank?

edit: it warms my heart that the lolcow wiki was effective in shutting down Brianna with the DSA. You can’t sweep your dirty pro Hillary/anti Bernie comments under the rug, Brianna. They saw through your lies about being a progressive. You’re a narcissistic opportunist.

Good job @Jaimas @LordKaT

Why does he make that retarded screaming face in every picture?

Hypothetical Warren, if I was to run for congress and seriously was about it and paying market rate not the crumbs wu gave you would you support me with out knowing my political stance? Would it matter if I was hiring you because your dedication even thou politicals views differ?

No but I bet a lot of people would!

No dude. What you got to do is check the buzzfeed "top 10 things you need to be mad about today" and post ironic raging twats on twinkle. Don't talk about what you actually believe or your positions, remember the old adage: politicians are professional liars.

That will cover rounding up a bunch of bright-eyed hipsters to do all the work for you. So then, you've got to figure out funding.

I think the Wu approach is a fairly decent one. You need to develop a long record of siccing your "progressive" drones on people over the twunkersphere. This is called 'leverage.' Then, show up to all kinds of events you weren't invited to, stand by the door, and start snarling at people.

Spoiler: Like this.

The people hosting the events will then "donate" to you so that you leave and stop scaring away paying attendees. Once you get the money, you use your leverage:
"DO YOU KNOW WHO I AMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM?" *7 deadly snarls*.
Send out a tweet that lets people know you are at the event.
Now, with bullets of sweat dripping down their faces, the event organizers have to think quick lest their entire crowd gets . This means more donations, at which point you leave and do a tech podcast the most important tech podcast in the history of the universe from your hotel room telling everyone how you were attacked by gamergate but destroyed them with your ion cannon. Then flee to an undisclosed location with all the same background fixtures as your last podcast, just in time to provide the world with the good word of the Team Rocket podcast on Feminist Frequency.


Actually, this is all really complicated and didn't actually work for Wu. Maybe you should just stick to having a reasonable platform and soliciting donations by actually attending political events, listening to your voter base, and changing clothes once in a while.

How did Brianna react when you made a video game character of her? Did she love it? Hate it? Ask you to do it?

Did you talk games otherwise? Or any other entertainment?

Warren ma boi, when you post stuff like this, that's what really elevates you above the festering progressive mob that I despise. I am not surprised that absolute re,tards gave you hostile pushback for this very mild position.

Aww geez, man, I just called you a dangerous idiot then you go saying stuff like this. It's like you're some kind of complicated human being not easily put into a single category. Shit, I guess I'd better take some of my own medicine.

Warren loves to be in a group that hates him because he only agrees with 99% of their things and that is pretty much treason and he should be shot for it.

Why.. I have no clue, there's tons of other groups that he agrees with less who'd take him with open arms or just openly hate him.

Oh I missed this one. Hey, that was my comment!!

Now maybe you can see why I often can't stand liberals, but like progressives, and make a distinction between them, even though that's "besieging your own party for minor doctrinal differences"?
Progressives will get all rant-y about the issues, sure.
But liberals will call you a traitor Russian spy for... cheering on the defeat of ISIS? Not wanting war with a superpower? Disagreeing with "evidence" that looks like it was written on a cocktail napkin?
I'm grateful to MSNBC for doing a cameo of me. But their pundits need to put down the lobbyist money and the crystal meth. Those two together are a killer!

I think you are deliberately allowing your terminology to slide the way you want it to, but in principle I agree with you and I can only hope that more and more people everywhere on the political spectrum wake up to this bullshittery. Left, right, centre: by and large, I don't give a fuck. The key difference to me is whether you actually want to sit and talk or if you're going to shriek like a fucking donkey in heat over the tiniest bit of ideological mismatch. And I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that while that sounds like a really low bar to be able to cross...in 2018, it just ain't.

People can use whatever terminology they want. I make a distinction because there's a clear one to me. Progressives can be crazy too but we usually aren't crazy nationalist warmongers who call people "weak" or "spies" or "commies" for making peace.
People say the Democrats are hypocrites. And I largely agree. But not because they're too "ideological". Because money talks. Republicans are the exact same kind of hypocrites. And a lot of people don't see a big difference. Other than *talk*.

 

[AnOminous]

The key difference to me is whether you actually want to sit and talk or if you're going to shriek like a fucking donkey in heat over the tiniest bit of ideological mismatch.

There's ideological mismatches and then there are disagreements over fundamental policy, and the Democrats have moved far, far away from any concern whatsoever about the working class. They don't even profess to care any more. They'll talk about the middle class all day, and by that, they mean the college educated upper middle class, the people hoping to be in the 1% some day who think Democrats are on their side.

Look who they hang around with, though. Where does Hillary get her money? Unlike normal people, who deposit money into banks, she gets paid by banks to pal around with them.

Well for starters, she's fond of "agile standups". Or at least what she calls agile standups. Whoever invented those should be punished.
Basically her version of an agile standup goes like this:
(phone call wakes me up)
B: Good morning Warren, are you ready for your agile standup?
W: Oh God no. Hold on, I'll just get my coffee.
B: Okay fine but Kate has been up working since 8am. Call me back.
(I scramble to find my notes from the previous day which I spent 2 hours at the end of every day writing. Basically an attempt to prove I was working by listing all the things I did. I call back.)
W: Okay I'm ready
B: Okay, what did you do yesterday?
W: Well let's see, so I talked to the folks at Our Revolution Boston...
B: Why are you still talking to them?
W: Um so that maybe they will endorse you?
B: What good are endorsements?
W: They get you votes, volunteers and sometimes money? So ORMA modified the endorsement process now and here is the procedure and what you need to do...
B: Warren, endorsements are your job not mine. I need to be on the phone raising money. And frankly I don't think they are a good use of YOUR time.
W: Okay well I'm glad to work on anything you send me to work on. What should I work on?
B: What do YOU think you should work on?
W: Well, endorsements, events...
B: Why haven't you set up any events?
W: Well there are actually events every day this week and next week and they're all in the calendar, color coded...
B: Warren it does me no good for you to just dump events in a calendar with no explanation. I need to be able to decide which ones I want to go to and which ones I don't. Which ones do YOU think are important?
W: Well, all of them, pretty much. I can explain them to you right now, I have my notes in front of me here...
B: Warren I spent 2 hours with that Boy Scout guy and an hour back and forth commuting, and it got me nothing. I need you to book me events that are actionable.
W: Well you probably got about 40 votes in Whitman just by sitting down with him. The whole town is talking about it. And if you would call him back about the merit badge thing...
B: Oh right, the merit badge thing. Yeah I should do that. If I don't do that in the next few days, remind me.
W: Okay well here's his number again.
B: I don't know, Warren. He's a right winger. I need votes from Democrats who will vote in the Primary, not long conversations with white dudes trying to tell me that Trump is "sometimes okay".
W: Brianna every Democrat in Whitman, Abington and East Bridgewater knows him. Every Independent knows him. Heck, Republicans. everybody. He got fricking Geoff Diehl elected, who was a fricking sign painter before that. Independents can vote in the Primary too. And they vote based on local issues. The local scouts. Jobs. Teaching the kids to code. You talked to him for two hours about it, I thought you were interested.
B: There's no need for you to be mansplaining at me right now.
W: I don't mean to mansplain. Should I tell you the rest of what I did yesterday?
B: Yes, go ahead.
W: So I talked to the folks at Planned Parenthood. They said that whereas state rep candidates can get a state level endorsement, federal candidates like you have to come by their DC office. They asked when you're "next going to be in DC". You don't have plans to be in DC soon do you?
B: Well I'll go there for Planned Parenthood!
W: Okay. Here's their number if you want to call, or I will call.
B: It's your job to call.
W: Okay so when should I tell them you'll be down in DC?
B: Well I could figure that out if you would SET UP A CALENDAR!
W: I have a very detailed Google calendar which I wish you would look at. And if somebody could please explain to me how to set up iCal, I could do an iCal calendar, I guess?
B: I'm not your tech support, Warren. And I've told you a bunch of times that Google is not secure. I have hackers coming after me literally every day. And if I'm going to work with you, I need you to take that seriously.
W: Are you saying you want to fire me?
B: Well honestly this last month has been very frustrating. I'm paying you all this extra money and I'm not seeing any results.
W: Well so can we either talk about these events or can you call these people back?
B: What people?
W: Well (state rep, name redacted), (progressive organization), (3 city councillors), (another progressive organization)...
B: Warren you can't just fire off these names at me. I need them in an organized list.
W: Okay I'll get to work on that.
B: So that's all you did yesterday? One phone call to Our Revolution Boston and one to Planned Parenthood? That sounds like 20 minutes of work to me. What did you do the entire rest of the 8 hour day?
W: Well okay let's see, so I think I solved the mystery of the East Bridgewater Democrats...
B: What? Why did you do that?
*****
on and on like this for 2 hours each morning. Followed by 4 hours of actual work, and then 2 more hours putting that work into sound bite form for tomorrow's "agile standup" makes an 8 hour day that sounds like 4 hours to Brianna. If she will even listen to it at all. And so then the next day's standup is even more hostile. Rinse, repeat. Most days it was 12 hours. In April it was 16. But at least there were no "standups" then...
I found myself thinking fondly of the previous quarter making 70 cents an hour for 16 hour days that Brianna thought were 6 hour days, and she still had to admit I was being underpaid for even 6 hour days. Because at least back then I was able to get some actual campaign work done and not spend half my time justifying the other half.
***
After a couple weeks of this, Brianna became convinced that "some people are just not cut out for the startup lifestyle". And I guess so, if other startups are like that. Yikes. But she went on to say that startups are high-pressure, very demanding and unforgiving, and I must be just used to ordinary 9 to 5 office jobs. I was like "um, I put 3 shows on television, including one with a 2-week episode turnaround, and I made 4 feature films. I know what a high-pressure environment is like. But in filmmaking, people TRUST each other and HAVE FUN together."
Or actually I hear there is a lot of distrust and hostility on many LA sets. But Boston indie filmmakers are pretty much a koom ba yah hugbox love fest. And despite my exploratory stint into talk radio and politics, which can be very "tough guy" fields, I do prefer an environment of optimism and trust more. Maybe that's spoiled, I don't know. I don't expect to find such an environment in the City Council if I run. But I would hope to have one with my campaign staff.
***
Anyway, long rambling answer I guess. Another thing she did was say I "can't handle taking orders from a female boss."
I know we all have residual unconscious biases. But I'd like to think that if a male boss was like that, I would freak out just as much?

This whole story is great because it encapsulates everything about Brianna Wu.

1) She is lazy. It's clear she learned about the "agile standup" stuff at one of those political seminars. But she didn't pay attention enough to understand it. It's like the hundreds of times she picks up on some buzzword in tech and pretends to be an expert on it but doesn't put the effort into actually learning what it means.

2) She has no clue how to work alongside people because she's never really had to work in her adult life. She has no idea how to manage or treat employees.

3) She was and has always been an asshole. She's confrontational with you on inconsequential shit for no reason than to boost her narcissistic ego. The same crap she pulls on Twitter with people. Just an unlikable person.


I do have a question for you Warren. What time would these morning calls happen? She used to be someone who slept in till noon each day but wondering if the campaign has forced her to get up at a reasonable hour now.
