According to his own post on Gab, RooshV is sick with symptoms that appear to be COVID. I hesitated to post this because this man is such a troll that even this move could well be just to get more attention, especially since he's supposedly taking Ivermectin for it. However, I'm hoping that perhaps the sorryantivaxxer sleuth army out there could find out more information and let me know. I'll try my best to describe this character to those of you who haven't heard of him. This guy is most certainly the least sympathetic person on sorryantivaxxer.com .
First, a little background. RooshV is infamous for being the author of the "Bang" series of Pick Up Artist books and blogs. He wrote of his own experiences, many of which were with women he had sex with without their consent. He was considered "Pro-Rape" and even suggested (some say satirically) that rape should be legal on private property. You can find out everything you need to know by googling "RooshV." You can also read some excerpts from his books here: https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/daryush-roosh-valizadeh. It's quite disgusting. Since 2019, however, he's become a born-again Armenian Orthodox Christian and has banned all talk of fornication on his site. Still, he remains an extreme misogynist in the form of a right-wing orthodox Christian.
He is an anti-vaxxer and most of his videos, since getting banned from YouTube, contain long anti-vaxx diatribes. His livestream videos last between 3 and 6 hours each. You can find his videos at https://rooshv.com where all of the videos from #57 to his latest, #69, contain long anti-vaxx rants.
He currently has 131,500 followers on Gab...the right-wing fringe "free speech" social media platform.
Here are some posts to give you a hint of his thought process (but his videos go much further):
Here is the post where he says he's sick and taking Ivermectin:
He once declared himself the most hated man in the world, so it very well could be that I'm playing into his hands right now by giving him this attention, but this is THE ONE TIME on sorryantivaxxer.com that I hope someone is actually quite ill with COVID. If someone needs to learn a lesson the hard way, it's this guy.
Hopefully, someone out there can help us find out what's going on with RooshV.
https://www.npr.org/2022/05/10/1096741988/orthodox-christian-churches-are-drawing-in-far-right-american-converts What happened to “Roosh”, the disgusting, narcissistic, white nationalist, anti-vaccine hot mess of dogshit, you ask? Well, he’s now running around as a spokesman for the Russian Orthodoxy Church Outside Russia (ROCOR), where several things of deep concern are going on. One is that the “church” is becoming a haven for white nationalists and alt right converts in the US midwest and south. (See the above NPR article.) SPLC should list them as a hate group.
Second, they are enabling Putin’s criminal war on Ukraine. They rejoined the Moscow Patriarch about eight years ago, and their head bishop (Metropolitan Halarion, who recently died), told his followers not to watch too much news. That was his sum total response…
Sometimes I’m tempted to phone these in. Sometimes temptation wins.
If COVID had a gender, it would be female and trying to pay back this sleezeball.
What ever happened to this hideous demon? Maybe he can become Melania’s Rasputin. He looks like it.
I didn’t know that schnauzers could get the virus. I hope his veterinarian did the merciful thing and put him down.
