Vox Day’s SJWs Always Lie, released today, is at this writing the #1 Amazon Best Seller in two categories.
Though why should you believe me? You know what SJWs always do.
The book is named after the First Law of SJW: SJWs always lie. SJWS ALWAYS LIE is a useful guide to understanding, anticipating, and surviving SJW attacks from the perspective of a man who has not only survived, but thrived, after experiencing multiple attempts by Social Justice Warriors to disqualify, discredit, and disemploy him in the same manner they have successfully attacked Nobel Laureates, technology CEOs, broadcasters, sports commentators, school principals, and policemen. It analyzes well-known SJW attacks as well as the two most successful examples of resistance to the SJW Narrative, #GamerGate and Sad Puppies.
I have a copy and will read it and report back.

I admire your fortitude.
You have a stronger stomach than I, Mike.
“I have a copy and will read it and report back.”
So if you actually do this…will our universe cease to exist?
Already looking forward to the sequel: DEAD SJWs LIE STILL.
Alexandra Erin’s twitter feed is a thing of beauty right now.
Instapundit had a link . That helped sell the book.
Brave man! If we don’t hear from you tomorrow we will send out a search party.
Be particularly careful to keep your bearings in Chapter(s) 5.
Did he write an entire book just to find a way to put himself in the same sentence as “Nobel Laureate”?
I did not know I could have less respect for Instapundit than I already did. And yet, it turns out I can.
You are going to read it free of charge? I feel cheated now. 🙂
I don’t think this will cause a universe-destroying paradox unless Mike reads the whole book from start to finish out loud.
But will it make John Scalzi’s The Big Idea?
@Eli
Oooh, YouTube video! I’d watch it. End of the universe: worth it.
@Meredith: Holy moses, you are not wrong.
I have a copy and will read it and report back.
No! You’ll flood the whole compartment!
Please don’t say you paid money for it. Is there some social justice cause I can donate the cost of the book to create balance in the universe?
Well the Communist Manifesto is rated at #4 – Take that Commies !
Ah, angling for that sweet, sweet wingnut welfare. As someone said in the other thread, VD has a certain kind of low cunning.
edit: technically not wingnut welfare (that would be a post at one of the “think tanks” or publications that lose money all the time). This is more writing what rubes want to hear and taking their money (e.g. Ann Coulter).
You should be especially intrigued by Chapters 5
You should be especially intrigued by Chapters 5
Which one?
How much will we have to bribe Natalie Luhrs to read this one, I wonder?
Well, now we know one of the works that’s going to be in Related Works next year.

I have a vision of him sitting down speaking to his video blog:
“I’m stuck with a rigged ballot, in an Award system run on a transferable vote happening in just a few months. There’s nothing for it, I’m going to have the rheotoric the sh1t out this….”
(With apologies to Andy Weir)
Maximillian –
Why related? It’s speculative fiction
Truth.
The Pups keep coming out with endless streams of “propaganda” for their side that almost seems like they are intentionally designed to make anyone who isn’t deep inside their bizarre bubble world look at them and say “What the hell is wrong with you?”
Mike Glyer: I have a copy and will read it and report back.
I’d say “thanks for taking one for the team”, but really, dude — this level of self-sacrifice is most decidedly not necessary.
Are there really two chapter 5s?
I’m sitting at a pub at the airport, and the title of Alexandra Erin’s book John Scalzi Is Not A Very Popular Author And I Myself Am Quite Popular: How SJWs Always Lie About Our Comparative Popularity Levels made me laugh so loud and hard that a little kid nearby said, “Mommy, why is that person laughing so loud?”
I gave AE $2.99 just for giving me probably the best laugh I’ll have all day — possibly all week.
>Are there really two chapter 5s?
Seeing is believing
Is there a chapter 1?
But, but, but, if people read this, won’t it get snuck on to next year’s ballot?
OOOOooohhh, NNNNOOOO!
Errr… It has a five star review on Amazon without an actual review. Neat trick that.
JJ –
It has three Chapter 5’s so really you’re getting more Chapter 5s for less by getting it.
I’m completely serious.
@Rob in CT
Grifters gonna grift
I think it might be John Scalzi fan fiction
I think I’ll wait for the movie to come out. Maybe Bill Plympton will adapt it, with the score by “Weird Al”.
For those interested, here is Alexandra Erin’s Twitter feed (for best effect, read from the bottom up).
Note: this is best read not in a public place where everyone sitting nearby is convinced that you must be certifiable because you’re laughing and snorting so hard.
And John Scalzi Is Not A Very Popular Author And I Myself Am Quite Popular: How SJWs Always Lie About Our Comparative Popularity Levels is now on Goodreads for your social cataloging pleasure…
I just realized, Vox’s three laws of Social Justice Warriors apply equally to himself.
#1 – SJWs always lie.
I really don’t think this one is up for debate. Very few of Vox’s statements conform to any reality I’m familiar with.
#2 – SJWs always double down.
So does Vox.
#3 – SJWs always project.

I’ve been lurking a long time, so Mike, thanks for the excellent site and all your work.
Also, I use the chrome extension that replaces variations on “SJW” with “Skeleton” and and that book blurb comes through delightfully. Almost something I’d read.
Why does it have 3 chapter fives? Surely, VD, a “Three-time Hugo Award nominee” (sic) is not that incompetent. Must be a reason
The comments on the amazon site are quite “interesting”.
When I was at an age where the implications of approaching puberty were important to me, VD was an abbreviation for something no wanted to contract.
VDs always five.
Ecclesiastes said, “Wisdom and an inheritance is a good thing.” Vex’s “survival” of the “attempts to destroy him” indicate that even just an inheritance will get you pretty far.
Dammit, forgot to GOD STALK!
The cover seems to be a riff on that of Johan Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism, whose message, I’ve been led to understand, is that (US-style) liberals are essentially fascists.
VD’s “Best Editor” submission for 2016
Aaaah! I set everything aside to read Alexandra Erin. Fun stuff. Then I realized one of the things I had set aside was a plate of hummus and flat bread and the dog found it. She’s looking plump and smug.
I would buy an audiobook version of John Scalzi Is Not A Very Popular Author And I Myself Am Quite Popular: How SJWs Always Lie About Our Comparative Popularity Levels as read by John Scalzi.
