Quite an amazing life. His path to his current position (via veganism and shitlibbery) is amazing. Anglin's journey to the jungle and his plan to marry two 16 year old Filipino Muslim girls is probably the best part.
Ultimately he was "red pilled" by 4chan's /pol. That forum will be in history books in the future, for it's extreme influence, for instance over the likes of Scott Adams, Kim dotcom, Julian Assange, etc., as well as it's memes, without which Trump would not have been elected elected.
Obviously the jedi (Tanya Gersh) in the early part was in fact trying to shake down Sherry Spencer, I think the article even makes that implicit.
Some of us are musing on this article over on Anglin's gab, https://gab.ai/AndrewAnglin -

Anglin’s editorial approach, which he has explained in various podcasts, borrowed from both Mein Kampf and Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. From Hitler, Anglin learned to dumb down his argument: Good guys versus bad guys. A few themes repeated over and over. From Alinsky, he learned counterculture tactics: Attack people instead of institutions. Isolate targets. Make threats. One Alinsky rule in particular stuck with Anglin: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”
Ridicule was hard to counter. So Anglin mocked. He made people laugh. “The whole point is to make something outrageous,” he said on the site. “It’s about creating a giant spectacle, a media spectacle that desensitizes people to these ideas.” He considered jokes about Josef Mengele training dogs to rape jedi women “comedy gold.”
Good summary. The last line needs some explaination (the writer leaves it deliberately vague), it's a reference to Stalag fiction, which is basically jedi Holocaust Erotica, as well as other disproven stories such as lampshades and soap being made out of humans. -
