Professional Right Wing Troll Mike Cernovich Belives In Something Called "Gorilla Mindset"

Mike Cernovich, a pro-Trump social media personality and self-declared leader of a movement he calls the “New Right,” claimed that nobody knows his true political beliefs and that the only thing he believes in is the “Gorilla Mindset,” the mentality behind his his self-help book and lifestyle brand.

<snip>

“Don’t you dare say I endorse Louis Farrakhan. Don’t you dare say that when I throw out an idea that people are talking about, that that’s my view. You don’t know what I believe. Nobody knows what I believe. I’ve told people that the only thing that I believe is ‘Gorilla Mindset,’” Cernovich said, referring to his brand of self-help books and nutritional supplements. “I’ve told people that.”

He continued, “People go, ‘What’s your political things, what’s your politics?’ I go, ‘Look, I’m just a vessel for what people are saying. I’m just a talk show host.’ This is what I grew up watching and it was a beautiful time. Geraldo Rivera, you would just bring in people and say, ‘OK, here’s a bunch of crazy people. Here’s what the crazy people are saying.’ The world was a better place. The world was a better place when you could just say, ‘Here’s what all the lunatics are saying. Here’s what’s going on.’”

Cernovich said that this “mindset” is his top priority, and that politics naturally “flow from that.”

“I believe in the power—liberal, conservative, Christian, Jew, Catholic, Muslim, atheist, agnostic—I believe in the power to change your life and I believe that if you adopt a positive mindset that politics is going to flow from that,” Cernovich said.

Uh yes, I have a question - "what the fuck?". Or as Homer Simpson said - "Uh... could you repeat that part where you said the stuff about those things?".

Testimony that I recall hearing verbatim from the shaggy shouter on the corner the other day. I suspect that Shaggy smells better than Mike Cernovich.

It reminds me "The Schmilblick", an imaginary object created by the French humorist Pierre Dac during the 1950s. It is absolutely useless, and can therefore be used for anything, being rigorously entire.

The word is very popular in French language and is used as a synonym for thing or stuff, or something designating a strange or unknown object. It is also used to refer to some limited help provided by someone to solve a difficult problem.

The expression is : "faire avancer le schmilblick" literally means "to make the schmilblick a step forward"
