He has two main gigs: promoting conspiracy theories and whining about [[neomasculinity|"weak"]] [[liberal]]s. Before he became famous, Cernovich was a [[First Amendment]] lawyer who spent his time promoting [[Men's rights activism|MRA]] / [[internet tough guy]] views. Cernovich said many, ''many'' crazy things about women, rape, and transgender people, which he has since attempted to delete. Fortunately, we've archived all of his often-sexually-explicit insanity for your viewing displeasure. Not surprisingly, Cernovich was an early member of the Proud Boys.<ref>[https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23583878-proudboyssignup Proud Boys Meet-Up: Stations of the Congregation] ''Document Cloud''.</ref>{{rp|11}}

Since then, Cernovich has become famous for promoting conspiracy theories, often working with [[Alex Jones]] or [[Paul Joseph Watson]]. Ironically, Cernovich's lifestyle is only possible due to an alleged "7 figure sum" court settlement after divorcing his ex wife, a silicon valley attorney who made millions from an IPO.<ref>Margaret Pless, [https://idledillettante.com/2015/12/31/mike-cernovich-potemkin-alpha-male/ Mike Cernovich: Potemkin Alpha Male], Internet Famous Angry Men, 31 December 2015.</ref> How's that for an alpha male?

Cernovich has a [[YouTube]] channel that has managed to snare over 80,000 subscribers and three million views.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/user/DangerAndPlay/about DangerAndPlay] on YouTube.</ref>

Recently, Cernovich has become a notable [[conspiracy theory|conspiracy theory]] popularizer; he helped make "[[Hillary Clinton]] is dying" into a mainstream issue of "concern",<ref>Evan Hurst, [http://wonkette.com/605279/what-is-hillary-clinton-dying-from-today What is Hillary Clinton dying from today?] Wonkette, 8 August 2016.</ref><ref>[http://www.dangerandplay.com/2016/08/06/hillary-clinton-stroke-seizure-coughing-fits/ Expert Analysis of Hillary Clinton’s Physical and Mental Breakdown]. dangerandplay.com, 6 August 2016.</ref> and was also the leading promoter of [[Pizzagate]] and related [[pedophilia]]-baiting.<ref name=NR>Ian Tuttle, [http://www.nationalreview.com/article/446446/mike-cernovich-conspiracy-theories-fake-masculinity-donald-trump The White House Should Not Be Promoting Mike Cernovich].

===Pedophiles, pedophiles everywhere===
Cernovich particularly likes to paint his opponents as pedophiles, perverts, or sexual harassers. We have prepared a partial list of those Cernovich has labelled as pedophiles or connected to pedophiles:<ref name=selectall />

}}

Given the copious material Cernovich has written about his own questionable sexual exploits (below), this can best be described as some combination of [[projection]] and [[clickbait]]. It is also odd that Cernovich reveres [[Donald Trump]], when Trump is an admitted sexual assaulter.

===''60 Minutes'' interview===
When questioned about his conspiracist beliefs, Cernovich stated that "I will not say anything that I do not sincerely believe is true." When pressed, he doubled down and [[Gish Gallop]]ed as hard as possible (transcript from Cernovich himself):<ref>Mike Cernovich, [https://medium.com/@Cernovich/here-is-the-full-60-minutes-interview-transcript-with-mike-cernovich-a0cb58a80ba0 Here is the full 60 Minutes Interview Transcript with Mike Cernovich]. Archived from the original at medium.com, 1 April 2017. Note: Cernovich's account on medium.com "is under investigation or was found in violation of the Medium Rules."</ref>

{{quotebox|'''Pelley:''' [You said] "Clinton’s inner circle includes child traffickers pedophiles, and now members of a sex cult." There's no evidence of that.

'''Cernovich:''' Well, Lauren Silsby, Hillary Clinton, and her are the inner circle together. Lauren Silsby was arrested in Haiti trying to leave the country with 33 children. Lauren Silsby and her crew were. Hillary Clinton intervened personally and that, right? So that is 100% true. I don't see Donald Trump intervening on behalf of child traffickers. Like Lauren Silsby. So that is true. It does include that inner circle. Dennis Hastert, Jeffrey Epstein. Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein good friends. Jeffrey Epstein is a lifetime registered sex offender. He was convicted of trafficking women who are underage. Great friend of Bill Clinton. Great friend to Hillary Clinton. So that is part of her inner circle, so that is indeed a true statement.

'''Cernovich:''' They're definitely not fake.

===Minor conspiracies===
Cernovich has also promoted numerous other conspiratorial beliefs. For example, Cernovich believes (or professes to believe):

*False flag conspiracy theories:
:*"The [[2016 Orlando nightclub shooting|Orlando shooter]] did not act alone"<ref>[http://www.dangerandplay.com/2016/06/15/the-orlando-shooter-did-not-act-alone-update/ The Orlando Shooter Did Not Act Alone]. dangerandplay.com, 15 June 2016.</ref>

:*"South African Whites have more of a claim to being "native born" than the black majority. This is not taught in schools".<ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/818615800374267904|Twitter}}</ref><ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/799391569509904384|Twitter}}</ref>
*[[Barack Obama|Obama]]-era political conspiracy theories:
:*Obama is not a Muslim, but an atheist {{--}} and the media is covering it up.<ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/673685310069325826|Twitter}}</ref>
:*Obama is gay {{--}} and the media is covering it up.<ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/673685024294612992|Twitter}}</ref>
*Trump-era political conspiracy theories:
:*Cernovich claims that Clinton paid people to attend rallies.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/768867431703977985 Twitter: Sick Hillary has no enthusiastic support, has to buy in rally attendees.

*Pro-Russia posturing:
:*Cernovich ''really'' likes [[Putin]], putting him on a heroic pedestal: "Putin is a larger than life alpha male who loves his country and will fight to defend it. Why *don't* you admire him? Brainwashing."<ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/cernovich/status/783058411298562048|Twitter}}</ref> "Although I do not work for Russia or anyone, Putin and I think alike.

:*Cernovich ''really'' likes Russian media. "Russian media tells the truth about America and lies about Russia. American media just lies. Hard to find truth about Russia."<ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/cernovich/status/779097146045837313|Twitter}}</ref> He has further stated: "American Media (terrorist organization) v. Putin. I believe Putin!"<ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/cernovich/status/788109113196544000|Twitter}}</ref> In fact, Cernovich actually gave an interview to [[RT]].<ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/817438715744112640|Twitter}}</ref>

Fitting with his "fake news" vibe, Cernovich promised that {{--}} should he become press secretary {{--}} his first act would be to "disband the hoaxing White House Press corps". This is, of course, because he supports free speech.<ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/796213084004040704|Twitter}}</ref>

==Anti-women bigotry==

Cernovich adopts [[MRA]] views of [[women]] and [[rape]], in which women are manipulators who use sexual harassment cases (ie, false rape accusations) for personal gain:

{{quotebox|A whore will let her friend ruin your life with a false rape case. So why should I care when women are raped?<ref>[http://archive.ph/MkO0Z Twitter]</ref>}}

{{quotebox|Fat/ugly women seek out dominant men to abuse them. Then they seek sympathy from others. "He's so mean.". Hence why women troll Twitter.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20160727194048/https:/twitter.com/Cernovich/status/484453312117239808 Twitter]</ref>}}

Cernovich also authored a guide for avoiding "false rape accusations", which he has since deleted.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20140131205402/http://www.dangerandplay.com/2011/09/21/how-to-avoid-a-false-rape-case/ How to Avoid a False Rape Case]</ref> The guide's key points were: Film your sexual encounters; "take the whore out to breakfast"; and "if the police call, don’t answer". Right.

===Sex and rape===
{{cquote|You can't rape the willing.|||Mike Cernovich<ref>[http://archive.ph/Fxhia#selection-2085.1-2085.28 Twitter]. The phrase was then [http://archive.fo/HcOfh quote-tweeted] by [[Sargon of Akkad]], because of course.</ref>}}
{{cquote|The hotter the sex, the more closely it resembles rape.|||Mike Cernovich<ref>[http://archive.ph/d6K6v Twitter]</ref>}}
In line with the above views on women, Cernovich partially denies the ''possibility'' of rape and is apathetic towards its occurrence:

{{quotebox|Have you guys ever tried "raping" a girl without using force? Try it. It's basically impossible. Date rape does not exist.<ref>[http://archive.ph/S0Sra Twitter]</ref>}}

{{quotebox|When is the last time women organized to support a [[men's rights]] issue? Stop being sticks. Who cares about breast cancer and rape? Not me.<ref name=Screencap />}}

We've excluded his creepy rape fantasy tweets.<ref>[http://archive.ph/TmAI2 Twitter]</ref><ref>[http://archive.ph/aEC2Q Twitter]</ref><ref>[http://archive.ph/iIXw8 Twitter]</ref> 

Cernovich also denies Western rape culture and claims that it is just a feminist talking point.<ref>{{a|http://www.dangerandplay.com/2012/07/05/what-is-rape/|What is Rape?}}</ref> In the same breath, he uses alleged rape among immigrants as a pro-nationalist talking point:

{{quotebox|If you believe in college rape culture, I understand a lot about you:
* You’re a gullible fool who believes feminists.
* You trust the mainstream media.

===On raping a woman: When in Doubt, Whip It Out===
{{cquote|Don't forget, @Cernovich did *exactly* what Louis CK did. No wonder he's so quiet about it.|||TakedownMRAs<ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/TakedownMRAs/status/928783787349049346|Twitter}}</ref>}}
Cernovich wrote an article for his blog titled "When in Doubt, Whip it Out". Cernovich tells a story in which he forced his dick onto a non-consenting woman in order to try to fuck her. Cernovich has since deleted the article. Unfortunately for Cernovich, the Internet never forgets:<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160318163008/http://www.dangerandplay.com/2012/02/27/when-masturbation-leads-to-a-close/ When in Doubt, Whip it Out]</ref>

{{quotebox|We were in the back seat of her car hooking up. She let me pull her shirt up but wouldn’t let me take it off. She also wouldn’t let me take off her pants.

Anyone who has dated Indian girls know how annoying they are, and how hard they are to close. I knew this girl wasn’t going to let me fuck her in the back seat of her car, and that she was going to require some secret moves.

“My dick hurts,” I told her, as I unbuttoned my own jeans, exposing it to her. She looked at it but didn’t move.

“You aren’t just going to leave me like this, are you?” I pulled her hand towards me, but she pulled it back.

Indian girls are selfish teases, and she would have no problem leaving me hanging.

“Fine then. I’ll take care of it myself.”

I started playing with her tits, spit in my hand, and started masturbating.

She still wouldn’t join in the fun, but she wasn’t freaked out. “Don’t get any of this on my seat,” she told me as I was about to cum.

Often finding myself in sketchy situations, I wear a tight American Apparel ribbed tank top under my shirts. It comes in handy when you need to clean up bodily fluids.

I came into my tank top, zipped up, and said, “Let’s go.”

She drove me home, and parked her car, “I don’t want to risk a DUI,” she said, and walked upstairs with me.

The next morning I had one of those, “Does the notch count if…” discussions with my boy.

“Hey, man,” I asked, “Does it count if you get it halfway in, but can’t get it all the way in, because she’s too tight?”

“Ah, man, that’s a tough one. You had the intent. She had the intent, but you weren’t fully in.”

“Yeah, but I was halfway in. Do I gotta be balls deep? She told me she had only been with two other guys, and I believed her. My dick would only go halfway in before she started screaming in pain. I did like 3 or 4 half pumps. Does it count?”

“I don’t know. We should ask some other guys.”

How did I take a girl who had only had sex with two other guys – with a tight pussy to prove it – and get an arguable one night stand out of her?

By masturbating, I took advantage of the anchoring heuristic:

:The anchoring and adjustment heuristic was first theorized by Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman. In one of their first studies, the two showed that when asked to guess the percentage of African nations that are members of the United Nations, people who were first asked “Was it more or less than 10%?” guessed lower values (25% on average) than those who had been asked if it was more or less than 65% (45% on average). The pattern has held in other experiments for a wide variety of different subjects of estimation.

If we had just made out in her car, anything else sexual would have been anchored to the make out. Going from making out to sex is a big jump.

By masturbating in her car while playing with her tits, we had created a new anchor. We had gone farther than making out, thereby bringing us closer to boning.

Next time, don’t settle for the make out. If possible, at least pull out your dick. If you can get her to touch it, even better. If not, just let her know that your cock is too swollen to go back into your jeans, and that, “Either you’re taking care of this, or I am.”

Masturbating will set your anchor nearer the desired destination – pussy port.}}

==Anti-trans bigotry==
{{main|Transphobia}}
Surprising nobody, Cernovich really doesn't like trans people:

{{quotebox|[[Steve Sailer]] called it. The media is making a full court press for tranny acceptance. There's a new tranny story every day, it seems.<ref>[http://archive.ph/Wdany Twitter]</ref>}}

{{quotebox|A woman over 40 is indistinguishable from a tranny.<ref name=Screencap />}}

Cernovich has also felt it worthwhile to share his views on trans sex workers:

{{quotebox|Lady boys ranked, by city:<br>1. Bangkok<br>2. Manila<br>...<br>...<br>5. Everywhere else.<ref>[http://archive.ph/UwXMC Twitter]</ref>}}

Fortunately, in case you were worried that he is a bigot, Cernovich has clarified that he, too, is transgender: "male-to-male transgender".<ref>[http://www.dangerandplay.com/2015/06/04/trt-hrt-caitlyn-jenner-male-transgender/ Why I Became a Male-to-Male Transgender]</ref>

==="What Is Sex with a Tranny Like?"===
Cernovich decided to publish a story entitled "What is Sex with a Tranny Like?" on his website.<ref name=wiswatl>[http://archive.ph/3GH45 What is Sex with a Tranny Like?]</ref> It's exactly as bad as you think it is. So bad, in fact, that Cernovich deleted the story. Fortunately, again, the Internet never forgets:

{{quotebox|“This was awhile go, I went out with a friend to meet up with a girl he knew who was going out for her bday, since she had a table and bottle service at some nicer club. Me and my friend got pretty fucked up on vodka and oxy’s before we left. I knew the girl, she was a cute Asian chick, and I knew she had cute friends. One of her friends I’ve never met was there, like 5’8, Chinese, fucking hot (looked like some kpop singer). The girl I knew introduced us, and we hit it off immediately, I kept drinking, I think I prolly popped another Oxy, I was pretty faded.

“I remember her saying like twice “did you know I’m a man” she was hammered too, and I thought it was a joke and would respond with something like “fuck you” and she’d laugh. Were there signs? I dunno, maybe she was grinding against me too hard when we danced, when she grabbed my hand to go to the bar/outside for a smoke, maybe her grip was a little too strong. Maybe when we kissed she was too forceful and lacked that female sensuality. I was too gone to notice.

“When we left the club she came back to my place, she had some coke so I did like 2 lines. I was so fucking horny, and fucked up. We just started going at it, I took her pants off, and there was this shriveled black thing. I forgot what our exact conversation was, I was too fucked up, I remember her being embarrassed and saying she told me and she didn’t think I cared, I was shocked but also too horny and fucked up to say no and I already went too far. We kept going at it, and one thing I remember is her pushing her shriveled little prick into my face when she was deepthroating me, in the 69 position. I kept trying to move away from it, but I eventually just gave in and let it penetrate my mouth. I remember tears coming down my face a little when I vaguely realized what I was doing, it had this weird chemically, salty taste.

“She eventually took a cab home, and I fell asleep. The next day I woke up like 3 in the afternoon, not wanting to believe what happened, but that hint of chemical taste in my mouth reminded me what happened. I was depressed about this for awhile, I sorta stopped associating with the group involved in this story out of shame. I stopped with the drug use since then also, I still feel like shit typing this out.}}

Cernovich later claimed that this story was submitted by a reader.<ref name=wiswatl /> This story was also told years previously, almost word for word, on a message board for MMA fans by a user named "Kinkle", widely believed to be Mike Cernovich himself.<ref>https://archive.fo/O4jP6</ref>

==Mystical beliefs==
[[File:Mike Cernovich Pillow Talk.jpg|thumb|right|Mike Cernovich gets some shuteye in-between talking about [[Pizzagate|child sex dungeons]].]]

===Semen, the "life force"===
Cernovich ''literally'' thinks semen has addictive properties, cures depression, and prevents women from cheating:

{{quotebox|Once they've bad{{sic}} my "super serum", they don't want anything else. Girls become addicted to cum.

[[Condom]]s destroy pair bonding. When you raw dog and share your "super serum," she won't want anything else. "Super serum" is what you give to women to make Captain America babies{{sic}}. Most addictive drug on market.

Semen is a man's life force. If she cheats[,] this means your life force is week{{sic}}, needs rebuilt {{sic}}. When you have super serum, they never leave.<ref>Twitter: [http://archive.ph/jbR7o "addicted to cum"], [http://archive.ph/5LKL0 "condoms"], [http://archive.ph/fJoxR "Captain America"], [http://archive.ph/wSW32 "life force"]</ref><ref name=Storify>[https://storify.com/SJWIlluminati/juicebro-is-fucking-nuts Juicebro is fucking nuts]</ref>}}

{{quotebox|Stop watching [[porn]] and you will see. Most men grew up on porn and have never given a girl a full dose of super serum.

Go a week without watching porn or spilling your seed. Eat clean. Train hard. That is how you make super serum. Girls become addicted.

When you eat clean and train hard, a man's semen is more virile. This makes women addicted, also treats their depression.<ref>Twitter: [http://archive.ph/hlKea "grew up on"], [http://archive.ph/9SRSA "go a week"], [http://archive.ph/mmGZX "depression"]</ref><ref name=Storify />}}

{{quotebox|I am only trolling a little. I rarely watch porn. Google "sexual transmutation of energy." Sounds corny. Try it. It's real.<ref>[http://archive.ph/T4Hrs Twitter]</ref><ref name=Storify />}}

Unsurprisingly, Cernovich's treatment of his "super serum" has failed to take off in [[alternative medicine]] markets (though in fairness, there does seem to be some evidence that semen carries antidepressant properties).<ref>https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn2457-semen-acts-as-an-anti-depressant/</ref>

===Primal instincts, porn, and Cultural Marxism===
He also blames porn and masturbation upon the [[Cultural Marxism|Cultural Marxists]]:

{{quotebox|[[Masturbation|Mastubation]] {{sic}} and porn are tools of cultural Marxists. Mastubation {{sic}} is the opiate of the masses.

Cultural Marxists sex shame and are neo-puritans. They want to criminalize normal sex. Think about it. Cultural Marxists want to criminalize sex. Why?

If you're getting laid regularly, no matter what life throws at you....Everything seems OK. Cultural marxists want to take that from you.

Cultural Marxists, as Ezra Klein observes, want you to feel a "cold shiver" when you have sex. Again, why? What is their goal?<ref>Twitter: [http://archive.ph/j9eIN "tools"], [http://archive.ph/Gszmf "neo-Puritans"], [http://archive.ph/YTY1h "criminalize sex"], [http://archive.ph/dkZUg "laid regularly"], [http://archive.ph/5JDK3 "cold shiver"]</ref><ref name=Storify />}}

{{quotebox|When you don't mastubate {{sic}}, your senses are sharper. You become more in touch with your primal instincts.<ref>[http://archive.ph/W89xl Twitter]</ref><ref name=Storify />}}

{{quotebox|All power ultimately derives from your sexuality. The more in control of your sexual drive, the more power you have over your life.<ref>[http://archive.ph/ZyX6b Twitter]</ref><ref name=Storify />}}

===Defeating STDs with coconut oil and slut-hate===
{{main|Sexually transmitted disease}}
Cernovich's beliefs about STDs fall squarely into [[alternative medicine]] territory(and racism):

{{quotebox|Not being a slut is the only proven way to avoid AIDS{{sic}}. If you love Black women, slut shame them.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/695757135578181632 Original Tweet, since removed.] Screenshot: [https://img.wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Screen-Shot-2016-12-21-at-12.39.50-PM.png The Holy Grail of WTAF tweets]</ref>}}

{{quotebox|Herpes is not a death sentence. I never got it (alpha STD protection), but there are support groups. I was "raw dog for life." Managed to stay STD free. Coconut oil and defense soap (tea tree oil) are essential.

Girls today are not about the condoms. That's something from sex+ feminism I fully support! "Anal is the new virginity."

==Religion==
{{cquote|When you think of what's truly ugly in our culture (feminism, abortion, political correctness), [[Conspiracy_theory|you'll see atheists behind it]].|||Mike Cernovich revealing the atheist agenda<ref>[http://archive.ph/CvE2L Twitter]</ref>}}

While Cernovich's parents are devout Christians, he doesn't believe in Jesus.<ref name=trolls /> That hasn't stopped Cernovich from being a ''maximum'' asshole. In 2014, Cernovich wrote an obnoxious tract about his experiences with the divine. We have included a relevant section:<ref>{{a|https://medium.com/@Cernovich/5-meo-dmt-the-spirit-molecule-pineal-gland-consciousness-and-atheism-64c8c2b27c40|5-MeO-DMT, The Spirit Molecule, Pineal Gland, Consciousness, and Atheism}}</ref>

{{quotebox|In an earlier podcast I mentioned that I do believe in some sort of divine and I’m not an atheist. I think that atheism is not a logical position.

And I got a few comments that went along this line: “I’m very very surprised that someone of your intelligence believes in either religion or the existence of a god when there is no rational evidence in favor of and a plethora of obvious evidence against existing. It’s an irrational baseless belief with no merit which serves only to comfort those who need it.”

So I have a couple points to that.

One is, if you read someone and consider someone to be of obvious intelligence, then perhaps you should open your mind. There are a lot of intelligent people who believe in the existence of a divine.

Also, do I strike you as the kind of person who needs to believe in a divine to have some sort of comfort or delusional reality? I don’t think so. I actually think it’s atheists who don’t want to believe in god because it makes them uncomfortable. Because if you are an atheist, you have closed your mind to possibilities and opportunities. And because of that you can feel comfortable, you get over the dissonance. You get over the hard questions. For example in college I read all the great books on consciousness. Are you an atheist and have you read all of the books on consciousness? Go read about the hard problem of consciousness. I’ll link to on Wikipedia.

That kind of stuff will keep you up at night. In terms of consciousness, I would just say where is your rational evidence for the proposition that I have consciousness? Prove that I have consciousness. You can’t.

Philosophers have been trying to do it for years. Daniel Dennet who is a smug atheist prick, he can’t prove consciousness exists. He wrote a book called Consciousness Explained. That was pretty much shredded to pieces and he ignored the hard problems of consciousness.

You can’t prove that I have consciousness and I can’t prove that you have consciousness because consciousness is a subjective experience of a supposedly objective reality.

So if you can’t even explain consciousness and show that consciousness is a scientific fact, then how can you tell me that you’re an atheist? Because clearly there are phenomena that we don’t understand.}}

He also enjoyed mocking atheists<ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/673216970498641920|Twitter}}</ref><ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/673210523299782656|Twitter}}</ref><ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/673209914974740481|Twitter}}</ref><ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/920064350714392576|Twitter}}</ref> and talking about "militant atheist" terrorism.<ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/673216970498641920|Twitter}}</ref><ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/673208581911613440|Twitter}}</ref><ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/673211228597198848|Twitter}}</ref> However, in 2017, Cernovich claimed to be an agnostic.<ref name=agnostic /> However, he adopts what is essentially a [[Cultural Christianity|Cultural Christian]] worldview:

{{quotebox|[[Christian nation|America was founded by white Christian men]]. To destroy America attack those groups one by one. It all makes sense now, doesn't it.<ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/677574218259628032|Twitter}}</ref>}}

{{quotebox|Living in a post-Christian society makes it hard to recognize true evil. SJWs are not a joke. It's a death cult.<ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/659722100979179520|Twitter}}</ref>}}

{{quotebox|Western society cannot function without real Christianity. (I’m agnostic FYI.) But modern Christian is cucked and actually harms US.<ref name=agnostic>{{a|https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/920096899654344704|Twitter}}</ref>}}

===Pivot to Islam===

In late January 2019, Cernovich published several tweets denouncing Christianity, and promoting "a moderated form of Islam." Naturally, his followers were not pleased. He also mentions about how he's learned that [[Islamophobia]] is real and how it affects a close friend of his, which is... [[Stopped clock|something certainly very unexpected given his past views]]. Given that his second wife is of Middle Eastern ancestry and they share a child, this becomes less of a surprise.

{{quotebox|Christianity has given us a country where 11 year olds dance for adult men who throw dollars on the stage. 

Christianity gave us a church that molested children and sold out their flock (Covington) to the left.

A moderated form of Islam is probably the West’s only hope.<ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/1089628396957491200|Twitter}}</ref>}}

{{quotebox|Based on how most of you "Christians" acted yesterday and today....

Let's just say, You sure had me fooled!

You're Christians

Get real. You're hateful, angry people who lash out at Islam, insult moderate Muslims like my friends, and can't take your own medicine.<ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/1089954090728050689|Twitter}}</ref>}}

{{quotebox|Now let's talk about Islam.

A dear friend of mine who ALWAYS HAS MY BACK is a Muslim woman.

And she had to block me, because when I would RT her stuff, you "Christians" would attack her.

"Sorry, Mike, I don't want your followers reading me."

I can't blame her.<ref>{{a|https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/1089957922329714688|Twitter}}</ref>}}

Unsurprisingly, Cernovich has also made statements like "the moderated form of Islam is probably the West's only hope", viewing [[Islamism]] as natural allies against "[[woke]]ness".<ref>[https://www.crikey.com.au/2023/03/03/shermon-burgess-islam-far-right/ Australian anti-Islamic activist Shermon Burgess becomes the latest far-right figure to convert to Islam]</ref>

Cernovich was born in the Gamergate swamp and never really left. His politics is highly based on opposition to feminists, "SJW"s, and liberals.

===Gamergator===
{{cquote|I had never heard of "gaming media" until recently. Jesus Christ, guys, put down the fucking video games and stop reading retarded sites.|||Mike Cernovich, avid gamer<ref>[http://archive.ph/JOh7C Twitter]</ref>}}
[[Gamergate]] was the turning point in Cernovich's career, shifting his attention from 
whining about
 ''demolishing'' feminism to more political concerns. After Gamergate, Cernovich's tweets took a notably more political turn. Cernovich spent his time attacking Black Lives Matter, Obama / Clinton, and "the Media". In the process, he grew a substantial following.

Cernovich gave informal legal counsel to Eron Gjoni after [[Zoe Quinn]] took Gjoni to court for a restraining order to prevent him from goading Gamergate on. Cernovich determined it was unconstitutional,<ref name="pless">Margaret Pless, [http://idledillettante.com/2014/10/20/mike-cernovich-gamergate-lawyer/ "Mike Cernovich; #GamerGate Lawyer! (Content Warning: Migraine-Inducingly Terrible)"], ''Internet Famous Angry Men''</ref> and somehow this justified sending a private investigator to stalk Quinn while she was homeless.<ref>Mike Cernovich, [https://archive.today/SWHfI "@MSamenfink Yeah it's pricey.

Cernovich also offered legal counsel to [[8chan]]'s founder [[Fredrick Brennan]] after Patreon banned 8chan from using their services after they updated their terms of use to ban funding for projects that promote harassment, self-harm, and [[child sex abuse]].<ref name="dale-patreon">Laura Dale, "[http://www.destructoid.com/8chan-removed-from-patreon-becomes-cat-sanctuary-285272.phtml 8chan removed from Patreon...

===Alt-right===
{{cquote|I went from libertarian to alt-right after realizing tolerance only went one way and [[Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white|diversity is code]] for [[white genocide]].<ref>[http://archive.ph/JtEAY Twitter]</ref>}}
Cernovich doesn't consider himself a member of the [[alt-right]]. In particular, he hopes to draw a distinction between a "[[new right]]" and the alt-right. For example, he disinvited [[Baked Alaska]] from the alt-right/Trump supporter "Deploraball" conference for being ''too openly'' [[Nazi]] &mdash; i.e., talking about the [[Holocaust|Jewish Question]]<ref>[http://www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/2016/12/28/deplora-lol-alt-right-nazis-turn-on-former-ally-mike-cernovich-decent-people-rejoice/ Deplora-LOL], [[WHTM]]</ref><ref>[http://archive.ph/QFCix Twitter]</ref><ref>[http://www.businessinsider.com/mike-cernovich-called-a-cuck-2017-1 Prominent pro-Trump Twitter troll admits that he deserved to be called the worst alt-right insult]</ref> (Cernovich failed to disinvite [[Richard Spencer|noted non-Nazi Richard Spencer]]). He also stated:<ref>[http://www.businessinsider.com/deploraball-gop-alt-right-2017-1 The 'Deploraball' bash laid bare the fractious tension between the 'new right' and the 'alt right']</ref>

{{quotebox|There is the alt-right which wants to do white [[identity politics]]. And there's people … who want to do [[nationalism]] without white identity politics. And now everybody knows where I stand and everybody else knows where everybody else is. The alt-right is now [[Richard Spencer]]'s weird house. I think that I drew the lines and that a lot of people who called themselves alt-right realized they weren't.}}

Despite that, as we document above, his views are virtually all in line with those of the alt-right.

==Anti-liberal vendettas==
In 2018, Cernovich discovered a new tactic to annoy liberals and Trump opponents: going through decade-old [[Twitter|tweets]] and publicizing anything offensive he found. This led to film director {{wpl|James Gunn}}, known for his public opposition to Trump, being temporarily sacked by Disney for ten-year-old [[rape culture|rape joke]]s.<ref name=patrick>[https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/aug/01/james-gunn-alt-right-marvel-film-director-tweets How Marvel film director James Gunn was demonised by the alt-right], Seb Patrick, ''The Guardian'', 1 Aug 2018</ref> He also publicised old material by [[Trevor Noah]], host of satirical US TV program ''[[The Daily Show]]'' which is frequently critical of right-wingers, and by ''Rick and Morty'' creator {{wpl|Dan Harmon}}, unearthing an old sketch about child-rape.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/media/2018/jul/25/alt-right-old-tweets-trump-critics-dan-harmon-james-gunn How the alt-right are resurfacing old tweets to get Trump's critics fired], The Guardian, 25 July 2018</ref> In some ways, this mirrors tactics used by leftwingers against those like Roseanne Barr, the right-wing actor who was sacked after a series of offensive tweets, but each case must be judged separately, and the things Cernovich unearthed were far older than Roseanne's tweets; also they were in the public domain for years, which is odd for a corporation to sack somebody after all that time.<ref name=patrick/>

==Forgery==
In Mid-December 2017, Cernovich tried shopping a poorly-forged document to various news outlets; the document alleged various sexual harassment claims against Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer.<ref name=palma>[https://www.snopes.com/2017/12/14/forged-documents-schumer-spark-investigation/ Forged Documents Alleging Schumer Sexual Harassment Spark Police Investigation: Far-right Internet trolls boasted about having documents that could end a senator's career.] by Bethania Palma (14 December 2017) ''Snopes''.</ref> Only professional internet [[troll]] {{wpl|Chuck C.
