Hoaxing journalist James Fallows of the Atlantic lied about me. When I reported on his media fraud, some people were angry at me. “What’s wrong with white nationalism,” some demanded. A couple of points.
First I’m not a white nationalist. The white nationalists will tell you that as well. I am responsible for myself only, and have no interest in having the actions of others being linked to me. You do you, I’ll do me.
- I’m even not part of the alt-right. I am responsible for what I say and do and not for what anyone else says or does.
Second is to look at the big picture. There is a campaign to have me banned from Twitter, and the only way this will happen is for the hoaxing media to link me to “wrong thinkers.”
Using guilty-by-association tactics, the hoaxing media intends to tie me to unpopular people – to put me into a basket with them.
Some of you might say I shouldn’t care about being banned from Twitter. If you think that, you are too myopic to be reading me. There’s no bravado here. I care about people reading me, I care about having an impact, and being on Twitter is maximum impact for me.
Being banned from Twitter wouldn’t destroy me, as I have other platforms, but it would damage me. In fact I have a lawsuit already drafted in the event Twitter bans me. As I do not violate any of Twitter’s TOS’s, it would be unlawful to ban me.
Some within Twitter know banning me would cause a legal and public relations war, and so they are having others spread hoaxes about me.
Banning Mike Cernovich, journalist is a different story from banning Mike Cernovich, “white nationalist.”
In life you need to know your enemy and know how they think.
Right now I’m in a box with two sides closed in on me, but that leaves me two sides open. I don’t intend to let members of the hoaxing media like James Fallows box me in.
Which is why I am looking into my legal options against The Atlantic as a corporation and against James Fallows personally. If they want to lie about me, then they can see me in court.

A basket of... deplorables, perhaps?
I agree that Twitter will eventually ban you and that they look for excuses. They will say that you 'attract' Nazis (plants) and invite them to 'bully' people like media hoaxers, or that you just cause a commotion on Twitter. They will also change their ToS to make banning people easier. This election has shown to the global elites how dangerous the internet is to them, and we should expect that they will fight it. The EU will probably increase pressure on US companies to change their ToS in a Merkelian way. (Which is why we have to destroy the EU; I also expect that Goldman Sachs etc and people like Soros will use the secret agencies of globalist-run countries - UK, Germany, France etc - to undermine a nationalist America and a Trump presidency, they also do that with Putin.)
People who attack you for saying that you are not a white nationalist also attack Trump for Twitter 'tantrums.' It's because they see it as a sign of a bad temperament or as a 'I have been found out' panic (because in their own experience, it is), whereas you, just like Trump, use such smears to gain additional energy and to make a point. It's also a knee-jerk reaction by white nationalists who automatically dislike it when someone who was called 'white nationalist' rejects the label.
Ultimately, 'alt-right' and 'white nationalism' are word games, and because there is no proper definition the media love those phrases because they can be easily used to smear people.
Alt-right can be defined as anyone who is on the Right and not a cuck. A white nationalist is, according to the media, anyone who opposes migration to white countries. (Whether people who oppose the Chinese colonization of Tibet are Tibetan racists remains to be seen.) Idiotically, a party like the UK Independence Party, which opposes unrestricted white immigration from continental Europe, will be labelled 'white nationalist,' too.
This is why there is no point in argueing against that lie politically. You can do that and you can win - eventually the majority of people sees that it doesn't make sense - but it requires a lot of time and energy.
In your situation it's more effective to mention your Jewish ancestry and your Persian wife. Because those are hard facts and people can see it with their own eyes. It's an advantage that you have - I don't. Also you should ask them which of your statements are about race.
Quoting individual white nationalists doesn't prove your point because it can be dismissed as a minority opinion, unless it's a big and notorious name like the infamous Stormfront.
Making a political point about unclear and grey definitions, however, will merely distract you. You can do that just to point out the truth, but make sure that you don't waste your time in a fight about words with people who pedantically defend their personal and unscientific position.
I hope you're on Twitter and that I'm following you. Your comments always teach me something.
Once they label you it doesn't matter what you say or do in your own defense, and it doesn't matter how many character witnesses you can enlist. That's how the Borg works: Label, co-opt, destroy. It works on every level from individual to entire nations.
The only choice is to counter attack in unexpected and unconventional ways, and I don't mean physical violence. Get inside their OODA loop and you will own them (John Boyd).
If you let this slide then the SPLC list sticks to you unchallenged.
Appreciate Ch.6 of Trump's Think Big & Kick Ass is called Revenge, as in sue the bastards.
Mike, if Twitter banned you, you could almost single-handedly make Gab replace them.
But still, I know what you're saying. I heard Mark Dice say earlier this year that he had a lawyer on retainer so the next time YouTube shut down his channel, he could immediately file a lawsuit. It would be nice to see these bastards taken down a notch.
I'm getting sick of hearing the "white nationalist" label. They pin it on everybody they disagree with. I'm sure the number of "white nationalists" is a fraction of 1% of the population, but you'd never know they by only listening to the media.
Agreed and it's very frustrating to be on a seemingly eternal waiting list.
I wish Mike would explain some of adversarial psychology in his mindset books. He explains his decisions but not how he learned to make those kinds of decisions, in contrast to his other self development advice. In these battles its hard to learn because mistakes are costly - and what works for him isn't going to work for me or someone else.
Unless the box is pyramid shaped with a triangular base, you've got more than 2 sides open to you.
