HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. ___
Commending Roosh V
WHEREAS, Daryush Valizadeh, more commonly known as Roosh V, has devoted much of his life to offering actionable advice to men around the world on self-improvement and game; and
WHEREAS, since 2007, Roosh V has self-published more than a dozen sex and travel guides, most of which discuss picking up and having sex with women in specific countries; and
WHEREAS, circa 2010, Roosh created Roosh V Forum, which has since grown into a vibrant discussion hub for the manosphere, with more than 1,300,000 posts, 50,000 threads, and 19,000 registered members; and
WHEREAS, in 2012, Roosh opened Return of Kings, which five years later has more than 4,300 posts, providing more than one million unique visitors every month invaluable insight into body, game, girls, history, lifestyle, mind, news, politics, religion, the sexes, travel, wisdom, work and money, and other topics; and
WHEREAS, in 2015, Roosh broadened the scope of his philosophy beyond red pill ideas, by promulgating an all-encompassing worldview of masculinity and nationalism, neomasculinity; and
WHEREAS, in February 2016, Roosh delivered the mainstream media a scathing and much-deserved rebuke at a Washington, DC press conference, rightly dressing them down for publishing misleading and often outright false accounts of his views concerning rape; and
WHEREAS, beginning in April 2016, Roosh created and published important works defending freedom of speech, including the book Free Speech Isn't Free and the videos "4 Things You Should Know About Free Speech" and "Are you prepared to pay for your free speech?"; and
WHEREAS, in May 2016, Roosh launched Kings Wiki, a collaboratively-written resource on topics of interest to the manosphere, that now has more than 2,500 content pages; and
WHEREAS, in November 2016, Roosh rightly refused to disavow Richard Spencer in the wake of Heilgate, noting, "I will not be making disavowals of anyone, no matter how reprehensible their speech, because I will not help my true enemy, the establishment, attack my neighbor"; and
WHEREAS, in February 2017, Roosh rightly defended Milo Yiannopoulos in the wake of Milogate, in his videos "The Milo Yiannopoulos scandal is a coordinated hit job (CPAC 2017)" and "Analysis to Milo Yiannopoulos' Breitbart resignation & press conference"; and
WHEREAS, Roosh has been a steady hand at the helm of his community, providing carefully considered yet confident and decisive leadership so that it has been able to weather the storms and withstand all assaults by its enemies; and
WHEREAS, Roosh has not let attacks by feminists, social justice warriors, and the media establishment deter him from speaking the truth; and
WHEREAS, Roosh's intellectual curiosity has driven him to explore the world through reading and travel, so that he has, in addition to helping men form connections with each other, also written and spoken on a variety of non-game topics and synthesized ideas to form new philosophical frameworks; and
WHEREAS, through all of these accomplishments, Roosh has worked tirelessly for the benefit of both sexes, by teaching men, through writings, videos, and his own example of strong leadership, the qualities they will need to cultivate in themselves to serve as effective husbands, fathers, and citizens, doing their part to restore patriarchy both in their own homes and in the wider society, and rescue western civilization from the scourge of feminism; and
WHEREAS, Roosh serves as an inspiring and uplifting example for men everywhere, about the power of one man to change the world and lead an enjoyable sex life through boldness, initiative, determination, and skill; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That the General Assembly commends Roosh V for his work to help men become better versions of themselves, to improve relations between the sexes, and to bring greater liberty and justice to our Commonwealth, our nation, and our world; and
RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates prepare a copy of this resolution for presentation to Roosh V as an expression of the General Assembly's admiration for his perseverance and stalwart efforts to better the lives of all Virginians.
