I’d like to take a minute to talk directly to the young men out there who, as a member of the “anon army,” look at the below photo of Andrew Isker and think that he’s a model of Christian masculinity to be followed.
Yeah. Antelope Hill has set themselves apart as the most neo-Nazi of neo-Nazi publishers in America. Don't forget that Andrew's podcast cohost and church member CJay Engel started a company that markets the audiobook version of that book, as well as the autobiography of an unrepentant Nazi collaborator.
'Manliness' and masculinity is defined by what you purchase and how well you are able to persuade other people to view you exactly the way you need to be viewed for your own self-conception. This is known.
Only comment is that the body armor he is wearing does protect the heart, but it does completely leave open half of his thoracic cavity. He could just be a big fan of getting a tension pneumo, who can judge
I'm really sick of these man-babies teaching our young men what being a man is all about. A whole lot of huffing and puffing about people farther down the ladder than them being their enemy, dressing up as soldier boys and showing up to protests to punch women. They are the dorks dorks and every last one of them needs to go back to the drawing board and learn that masculinity isn't about acting tough, it's about being strong. We're supposed to be the protectors, not the predators. Thank you for this piece.
Happily unaware of this fellow until now.. but grateful I came across this (though ‘knowledge is power’ may not precisely apply to knowing about these idiots). What I do know is that he’d last possibly 2 minutes among the men (and their wives) off post during any period of wartime (my own experience being during Vietnam). First the amazement, then the laughter.. then if he is as dimwitted as he appears and does something seriously threatening, well.. that would be it.
Thank you for this, Blake. Quite excellent.

LARP is a very appropriate term to use here. Thank you for the included details.

This is the most gracious yet biting critique I think anyone could have penned. Thank you for writing!
