With Sebastian Gorka's "Negging" of Kamala Harris, Dirty Manosphere Tactics Show Up in Mainstream MAGA

And it's nothing new -- as every liberal woman, person of color, or LGBTQ+ candidate can tell you.

First, this man is a Nazi, a fact now under investigation by three Senators. Hungarian-British-American Sebastian Gorka, a security adviser in the Trump administration who now answers to the jailed Steve Bannon, apparently left a wee detail off his immigration application: he didn’t tell the INS he belonged to the Vitézi Rend—a Hungarian Nazi group whose members are inadmissible to the United States as undesirables.

0Gorka’s hideously dirty comment on Kamala Harris, before a BBC commentator this week was this:

This woman, this disaster whose only qualification is having a vagina and the right skin color…

At this point commentator Mike Dolan interrupted Gorka’s rant to remind him Kamala Harris was Attorney General of California, U.S. Senator from California, and Vice President of the United States. Gorka then raves on that Kamala Harris was chosen by Biden, not chosen at convention; I note that Gorka was appointed by Trump and has never been elected to any office in this country or any other.

The fact is that 71% of Congress is male, and they have a decided leg-up due to their incessantly oversold gender “qualifications,” which definitely include penises rather than vaginas. And 75% of Congress people are white, a far higher percentage than their 59% of the U.S. population, so apparently they are the “right color.”

Isn’t it shocking that some writer points out that Gorka has a penis? It doesn’t sound as shocking when somebody denigrates a woman for having a vagina—and that’s because women are exposed on film in ways men are not and denigrating speech against women is mainstream and constant. But even referring tangentially to men’s male anatomy is stunning and considered a true affront to a man’s feelings. It’s considered dirty talk. BUT IT’S NOT DIRTY TALK WHEN A MAN DOES IT. BOYS WILL BE BOYS. IT’S JUST RED-BLOODED AMERICAN MANHOOD.

No, it isn’t. It’s an attempt to reduce a person to a function. And negging is just the beginning. Gorka is going to go much, much further.

“Negging”—a term that comes out of the Andrew Tate-style PICK-UP ARTIST MANIPULATIONS—has always been a part of the heavy manipulations aimed at women to keep them down.

What Is Negging?

The pick-up artist (PUA) “game” runs on rules of the psychological manipulation of women. Women classically have low self-esteem because …

Every message females get from the culture tells them they have less value than a man. Many messages incorporate a clear concept that if a woman *does not have a man* she is nothing. As a result, by the time a girl reaches puberty she is desperate for a man’s approval. Women spend billions on make-up, a constantly changing (expensive) wardrobe, diet exercise classes, and now Ozempic. All of it meant to attract and keep a man so that she does not feel even more worthless than she does already. So, if a woman can’t get the approval of a man — he negs her, chipping away at her self-esteem — she’s going to dance harder, jump higher for his approval. According to PUA philosophy, negging a woman can get her into bed with you in seven hours.

PICK-UP ARTISTS in the Manosphere improve their “game” with techniques they have been honing since the 1967 publication of The Art of Erotic Seduction by rational emotive psychotherapist Albert Ellis and Roger Conway and the 1970 publication of How to Pick Up Girls! by Eric Weber.

Manipulations through neurolinguistic programming evolved into direct reverse psychology. How ugly these manipulations get and how dangerous they can be prompted the Southern Poverty Law Center to declare the early PUA (pick up artists) Roosh V hateful and a misogynist for his views on women and sex. The SPLC also accused him of rape advocacy and multiple instances of rape depicted in his books. The UCLA Center for the Study of Women argues that PUA culture is misogynistic, and exists on a continuum of sexist behaviours and attitudes that includes rape and murder.

Negging is an act of emotional manipulation whereby a person makes a deliberate backhanded compliment or otherwise flirtatious remark to another person to undermine their confidence and attempt to engender in them a need for the manipulator's approval.

But is what Gorka is doing negging? Technically, no. It’s worse. But it’s in the continuum of negging because Gorka is negging American culture for believing that Harris is a worthy person, a competent politician, and good presidential material.

So, it’s WE who are being negged. We’re being told we’re foolish to think of this person as anything but a vagina in colored skin.

So, we wouldn’t want to think we’re stupid, would we? We wouldn’t want to vote for somebody based on gender or skin color, would we? We wouldn’t want to be duped, would we?

Gorka’s Three-Fold Quest: Negging Becomes Open Misogynist Attack

Like the pick-up artists of the Manosphere, the negging done by Gorka is EXTREME. Gorka takes negging from dirty manipulation to OVERT ATTACK ON FEMALE SEXUALITY. And in doing so, he evokes 5,000 years of patriarchal abuse of women on biological bases — and evokes the worst kind of white supremacist racism.

Sebastian Gorka’s goals are to

1. Undercut every positive quality, talent, and capacity Kamala Harris has on the basis if the fact she has a vagina (not a penis) and is a person of color. Women are inferior; non-whites are inferior; and he’s going to sell you white supremacy and male supremacy at the same time. He’s quite happy to use the basest possible anatomatical and race-baiting attacks to hook you.

2. It is also to imply that voters are stupid if they like her, or support her, or vote for her. That’s a negging of voters.

3. And it is to pander to males who support his denigration of a whole gender to maintain privilege, power, and wealth. Now becomes their champion in selling the MAGA mindset. So, Sebastian Gorka’s career aspirations cash in using Kamala Harris to do it.

Or, you’re being negged by this guy …

Sebastian Gorka would be more than happy if he can seduce you into misogynist mindset: smash your confidence if you’re a woman and enroll you into the MAGA MANOSPHERE if you’re a man.

Neither gender has to take these vile manipulations from a bottom-dweller like this man is.

Fight.

And send Sebastian Gorka back to Hungary. Strip him of his American citizenship — he doesn’t deserve American citizenship.

He can go do Nazi elsewhere.
