        To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Ben Garrison. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of political philosophy most of the jokes will go over a typical reader’s head. There’s also Ben’s perennialist outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Nouvelle Droite literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Ben Garrison truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Ben’s antimodernist catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Solzhenitsyn’s Russian epic Gulag Archipelago. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Ben’s genius wit unfolds itself on their phone screens. What fools… how I pity them. 😂

        And yes, by the way, i DO have a Trump tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
