Gavin explains how Vice went from countercultural to SJW-dominated after he left, discusses the October 12th Proud Boys/Antifa clash outside his NYC speech, and alleges Antifa acts as DNC-coordinated 'shock troops' ahead of the midterms.
- Vice started as a Canadian magazine in the mid-90s and grew into a media empire, but transformed from counterculture to mainstream social justice.
- The Proud Boys started as a joke, a fun silly club like the Water Buffalos from The Flintstones, but media desperation to show right-wing violence took it out of context.
- His buddy Jeff is going to jail for 30 days tomorrow because he fought back against Antifa when they ambushed him, despite no victim wanting to press charges.
- On October 12th, something flicked a switch for him when he gave a talk at the Manhattan Republican Club the same night someone got in a fight.
- He believes the DNC orchestrated violence around his Manhattan Republican Club talk, strategically timed before the midterms to shake their reputation for being unhinged and violent.
- Antifa functions as the paramilitary wing and shock troops of the DNC, though the DNC could care less about them beyond occasionally hiring a good lawyer.
- He controlled all Vice content until 2008 and kept the sales team adversarial to editorial so advertising wouldn't corrupt the magazine's edge.
- Once the sales team took over, Vice went SJW because the most lucrative demographic is girls aged 14 to 20, and they believe in gender nonsense and defending pedophiles.
- His wife voted for Hillary and is pro-choice, but the left's harassment and intimidation converted her to distrust them after they terrorized her family and plastered his kid's school with Nazi posters.
- The slippery slope argument that Gavin McInnes leads to David Duke is silly—you could say the same about country music or marijuana supposedly leading to heroin.
- A New York Times article claimed YouTube algorithms radicalize people, but the example showed someone went from Gavin McInnes to watching a liberal woman mocking him and became a liberal.
- The algorithm is blamed for corruption, yet the article's own logic shows it brought someone to liberal content, making the article contradict itself and miss the point entirely.
