Revilo Pendleton Oliver (July 7, 1908 – August 20, 1994) was an American professor of Classical philology, Spanish, and Italian at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After World War II, he published in American Opinion, becoming known as a polemicist for white nationalist and right-wing causes.

Oliver also briefly attracted national notoriety in the 1960s when he published an article after the President John F. Kennedy assassination, suggesting that Lee Harvey Oswald was part of a Soviet conspiracy against the United States. He was called to testify before the Warren Commission investigating the murder.[1]

Life and career
Early life
Revilo Pendleton Oliver was born in 1908 near Corpus Christi, Texas. He attended two years of high school in Illinois. Disliking the severe winters, and once requiring hospitalization "for one of the first mastoidectomies performed as more than a daring experiment", he relocated to California, where he studied Sanskrit. He used Max Müller's handbooks and Monier Williams' grammar, later finding a Hindu missionary to tutor him.[2]

As an adolescent, he found amusement in watching evangelists "pitch the woo at the simple-minded", attending performances of Aimee Semple McPherson and Katherine Tingley.[2] He entered Pomona College in Claremont, California, when he was sixteen.[3]

Academia
In 1930, Oliver married Grace Needham. He returned to Illinois, where he attended the University of Illinois and studied under William Abbott Oldfather. His first book was an annotated translation, from the Sanskrit, of Mricchakatika (The Little Clay Cart), published by the University of Illinois in 1938. He received his PhD in 1940.[3] That same year, the University published his Ph.D. thesis: Niccolò Perotti's Translations of the Enchiridion, which was republished in 1954 as Niccolo Perotti's Version of the Enchiridion of Epictetus.[4]

Oliver began teaching graduate classes. For a number of years he also gave graduate courses in the Renaissance, teaching in the Departments of Spanish and Italian.[3]

During World War II Oliver said that he worked at an unnamed War Department agency from 1942 until the autumn of 1945, writing, "By good luck, I found myself in charge of a rapidly expanding department, and ...responsible for the work of c. 175 persons."[3]

Oliver left Washington, D.C. in 1945. He returned to the University of Illinois as an Assistant Professor, became an Associate Professor in 1947, and Professor in 1953.[5] He published little in the academic press but later became known for politically conservative articles expressing anti-Semitism and white nationalism.[citation needed]

Conservative movement
In November 1955, William F. Buckley, a graduate of Yale, founded the National Review, a magazine to express a conservative viewpoint.[6] Buckley would later claim that he worked to increase conservatism's respectability, prohibiting publication by anti-Semites or extremists such as Oliver, but he employed Oliver, his "close friend", as a book reviewer for the National Review for many years before finally breaking with him over his 1964 article on the Kennedy assassination.[7]

In 1958, Oliver joined Robert W. Welch, Jr. as one of the founding members of the conservative, anti-Communist John Birch Society.[8] Oliver wrote frequently for the Birch Society magazine American Opinion.[citation needed] In 1962, Buckley repudiated Welch and the "Birchers", saying they were "far removed from common sense" and urging the GOP to purge itself of Welch's influence.[9]

Oliver attracted attention from his university and the media by his two-part article called "Marxmanship in Dallas", published in February 1964 after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He said that Lee Harvey Oswald had carried out the murder as part of a Communist conspiracy; and that the Communists wanted to kill Kennedy, whom Oliver described as a puppet who had outlived his usefulness.[10] His comments were reported by the New York Times.[11] In March 1964, the Los Angeles Times reported that Oliver had been reprimanded by the University of Illinois' Board of Trustees for his remarks, but was allowed to keep his position.[12] Oliver testified in the fall of that year before the Warren Commission.[1]

White nationalism
In the 1960s, Oliver broke with American conservatism.[7] Having become convinced that Welch had either tricked him or sold out to Zionist interests, he objected to what he called "the Birch hoax." He was "forced to resign" from the Society on 30 July 1966.[13][8] Oliver later claimed in 1981 to have discovered that Welch "was merely the nominal head of the Birch business, which he operated under the supervision of a committee of Jews."[8]

Oliver subsequently became involved with Willis Carto's National Youth Alliance (NYA).[8] The National Alliance website claims that Oliver worked with William Luther Pierce in the early years of the NYA.[14] Pierce later wrote The Turner Diaries, a 1978 novel about a race war and overthrow of the United States government.[15]

In 1978, Oliver became an editorial adviser for the Institute for Historical Review, an organization devoted primarily to Holocaust denial.[8] He was also a regular contributor to Liberty Bell magazine but received no mainstream notice.[citation needed]

Later years and death
Oliver retired in 1977.[16] In 1994, suffering from leukemia and severe emphysema, he committed suicide at the age of 86 in Urbana, Illinois. His estate arranged to publish several works posthumously through Historical Review Press and Liberty Bell, as well as to attend to the needs of his wife Grace in her declining years.[citation needed]

Oliver believed that religion was one of the major weaknesses of his nation and civilization. In a 1990 article, he characterized Christianity as "a spiritual syphilis" that "has rotted the minds of our race and induced paralysis of our will to live."[17]

Damon T. Berry, in his book Blood and Faith: Christianity and American White Nationalism (Syracuse University Press, 2017), devotes an entire chapter to Oliver, concluding that "Oliver hated both conservativism and Christianity...because they equally represented to him an ideological poison that was alien to the best instincts of the white race to defend its existence." (p. 41)

Name and pseudonyms
"Revilo P. Oliver" is a palindrome—a phrase that reads the same backwards and forwards. One of his articles was denounced as a fraud because readers thought his palindromic name was suspect. Oliver said his name had been given to first sons in his family for six generations.[18]

He used the pen names "Ralph Perier" (for The Jews Love Christianity and Religion and Race) and "Paul Knutson" (for Aryan Asses). Oliver is sometimes credited as the author of the Introduction (credited to Willis Carto) to Francis Parker Yockey's Imperium.[citation needed]

Revilo Pendleton Oliver (July 7, 1908 – August 20, 1994) was an American professor of Classical philology, Spanish, and Italian at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After World War II, he published in American Opinion, becoming known as a polemicist for white nationalist and right-wing causes.

Oliver also briefly attracted national notoriety in the 1960s when he published an article after the President John F. Kennedy assassination, suggesting that Lee Harvey Oswald was part of a Soviet conspiracy against the United States. He was called to testify before the Warren Commission investigating the murder.[1]

Life and career
Early life
Revilo Pendleton Oliver was born in 1908 near Corpus Christi, Texas. He attended two years of high school in Illinois. Disliking the severe winters, and once requiring hospitalization "for one of the first mastoidectomies performed as more than a daring experiment", he relocated to California, where he studied Sanskrit. He used Max Müller's handbooks and Monier Williams' grammar, later finding a Hindu missionary to tutor him.[2]

As an adolescent, he found amusement in watching evangelists "pitch the woo at the simple-minded", attending performances of Aimee Semple McPherson and Katherine Tingley.[2] He entered Pomona College in Claremont, California, when he was sixteen.[3]

Academia
In 1930, Oliver married Grace Needham. He returned to Illinois, where he attended the University of Illinois and studied under William Abbott Oldfather. His first book was an annotated translation, from the Sanskrit, of Mricchakatika (The Little Clay Cart), published by the University of Illinois in 1938. He received his PhD in 1940.[3] That same year, the University published his Ph.D. thesis: Niccolò Perotti's Translations of the Enchiridion, which was republished in 1954 as Niccolo Perotti's Version of the Enchiridion of Epictetus.[4]

Oliver began teaching graduate classes. For a number of years he also gave graduate courses in the Renaissance, teaching in the Departments of Spanish and Italian.[3]

During World War II Oliver said that he worked at an unnamed War Department agency from 1942 until the autumn of 1945, writing, "By good luck, I found myself in charge of a rapidly expanding department, and ...responsible for the work of c. 175 persons."[3]

Oliver left Washington, D.C. in 1945. He returned to the University of Illinois as an Assistant Professor, became an Associate Professor in 1947, and Professor in 1953.[5] He published little in the academic press but later became known for politically conservative articles expressing anti-Semitism and white nationalism.[citation needed]

Conservative movement
In November 1955, William F. Buckley, a graduate of Yale, founded the National Review, a magazine to express a conservative viewpoint.[6] Buckley would later claim that he worked to increase conservatism's respectability, prohibiting publication by anti-Semites or extremists such as Oliver, but he employed Oliver, his "close friend", as a book reviewer for the National Review for many years before finally breaking with him over his 1964 article on the Kennedy assassination.[7]

In 1958, Oliver joined Robert W. Welch, Jr. as one of the founding members of the conservative, anti-Communist John Birch Society.[8] Oliver wrote frequently for the Birch Society magazine American Opinion.[citation needed] In 1962, Buckley repudiated Welch and the "Birchers", saying they were "far removed from common sense" and urging the GOP to purge itself of Welch's influence.[9]

Oliver attracted attention from his university and the media by his two-part article called "Marxmanship in Dallas", published in February 1964 after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He said that Lee Harvey Oswald had carried out the murder as part of a Communist conspiracy; and that the Communists wanted to kill Kennedy, whom Oliver described as a puppet who had outlived his usefulness.[10] His comments were reported by the New York Times.[11] In March 1964, the Los Angeles Times reported that Oliver had been reprimanded by the University of Illinois' Board of Trustees for his remarks, but was allowed to keep his position.[12] Oliver testified in the fall of that year before the Warren Commission.[1]

White nationalism
In the 1960s, Oliver broke with American conservatism.[7] Having become convinced that Welch had either tricked him or sold out to Zionist interests, he objected to what he called "the Birch hoax." He was "forced to resign" from the Society on 30 July 1966.[13][8] Oliver later claimed in 1981 to have discovered that Welch "was merely the nominal head of the Birch business, which he operated under the supervision of a committee of Jews."[8]

Oliver subsequently became involved with Willis Carto's National Youth Alliance (NYA).[8] The National Alliance website claims that Oliver worked with William Luther Pierce in the early years of the NYA.[14] Pierce later wrote The Turner Diaries, a 1978 novel about a race war and overthrow of the United States government.[15]

In 1978, Oliver became an editorial adviser for the Institute for Historical Review, an organization devoted primarily to Holocaust denial.[8] He was also a regular contributor to Liberty Bell magazine but received no mainstream notice.[citation needed]

Later years and death
Oliver retired in 1977.[16] In 1994, suffering from leukemia and severe emphysema, he committed suicide at the age of 86 in Urbana, Illinois. His estate arranged to publish several works posthumously through Historical Review Press and Liberty Bell, as well as to attend to the needs of his wife Grace in her declining years.[citation needed]

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (April 2019)
Oliver believed that religion was one of the major weaknesses of his nation and civilization. In a 1990 article, he characterized Christianity as "a spiritual syphilis" that "has rotted the minds of our race and induced paralysis of our will to live."[17]

Damon T. Berry, in his book Blood and Faith: Christianity and American White Nationalism (Syracuse University Press, 2017), devotes an entire chapter to Oliver, concluding that "Oliver hated both conservativism and Christianity...because they equally represented to him an ideological poison that was alien to the best instincts of the white race to defend its existence." (p. 41)

Name and pseudonyms
"Revilo P. Oliver" is a palindrome—a phrase that reads the same backwards and forwards. One of his articles was denounced as a fraud because readers thought his palindromic name was suspect. Oliver said his name had been given to first sons in his family for six generations.[18]

He used the pen names "Ralph Perier" (for The Jews Love Christianity and Religion and Race) and "Paul Knutson" (for Aryan Asses). Oliver is sometimes credited as the author of the Introduction (credited to Willis Carto) to Francis Parker Yockey's Imperium.[citation needed]

Revilo Pendleton Oliver (July 7, 1908 – August 20, 1994) was an American professor of Classical philology, Spanish, and Italian at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After World War II, he published in American Opinion, becoming known as a polemicist for white nationalist and right-wing causes.

Oliver also briefly attracted national notoriety in the 1960s when he published an article after the President John F. Kennedy assassination, suggesting that Lee Harvey Oswald was part of a Soviet conspiracy against the United States. He was called to testify before the Warren Commission investigating the murder.[1]

Life and career
Early life
Revilo Pendleton Oliver was born in 1908 near Corpus Christi, Texas. He attended two years of high school in Illinois. Disliking the severe winters, and once requiring hospitalization "for one of the first mastoidectomies performed as more than a daring experiment", he relocated to California, where he studied Sanskrit. He used Max Müller's handbooks and Monier Williams' grammar, later finding a Hindu missionary to tutor him.[2]

As an adolescent, he found amusement in watching evangelists "pitch the woo at the simple-minded", attending performances of Aimee Semple McPherson and Katherine Tingley.[2] He entered Pomona College in Claremont, California, when he was sixteen.[3]

Academia
In 1930, Oliver married Grace Needham. He returned to Illinois, where he attended the University of Illinois and studied under William Abbott Oldfather. His first book was an annotated translation, from the Sanskrit, of Mricchakatika (The Little Clay Cart), published by the University of Illinois in 1938. He received his PhD in 1940.[3] That same year, the University published his Ph.D. thesis: Niccolò Perotti's Translations of the Enchiridion, which was republished in 1954 as Niccolo Perotti's Version of the Enchiridion of Epictetus.[4]

Oliver began teaching graduate classes. For a number of years he also gave graduate courses in the Renaissance, teaching in the Departments of Spanish and Italian.[3]

During World War II Oliver said that he worked at an unnamed War Department agency from 1942 until the autumn of 1945, writing, "By good luck, I found myself in charge of a rapidly expanding department, and ...responsible for the work of c. 175 persons."[3]

Oliver left Washington, D.C. in 1945. He returned to the University of Illinois as an Assistant Professor, became an Associate Professor in 1947, and Professor in 1953.[5] He published little in the academic press but later became known for politically conservative articles expressing anti-Semitism and white nationalism.[citation needed]

Conservative movement
In November 1955, William F. Buckley, a graduate of Yale, founded the National Review, a magazine to express a conservative viewpoint.[6] Buckley would later claim that he worked to increase conservatism's respectability, prohibiting publication by anti-Semites or extremists such as Oliver, but he employed Oliver, his "close friend", as a book reviewer for the National Review for many years before finally breaking with him over his 1964 article on the Kennedy assassination.[7]

In 1958, Oliver joined Robert W. Welch, Jr. as one of the founding members of the conservative, anti-Communist John Birch Society.[8] Oliver wrote frequently for the Birch Society magazine American Opinion.[citation needed] In 1962, Buckley repudiated Welch and the "Birchers", saying they were "far removed from common sense" and urging the GOP to purge itself of Welch's influence.[9]

Oliver attracted attention from his university and the media by his two-part article called "Marxmanship in Dallas", published in February 1964 after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He said that Lee Harvey Oswald had carried out the murder as part of a Communist conspiracy; and that the Communists wanted to kill Kennedy, whom Oliver described as a puppet who had outlived his usefulness.[10] His comments were reported by the New York Times.[11] In March 1964, the Los Angeles Times reported that Oliver had been reprimanded by the University of Illinois' Board of Trustees for his remarks, but was allowed to keep his position.[12] Oliver testified in the fall of that year before the Warren Commission.[1]

White nationalism
In the 1960s, Oliver broke with American conservatism.[7] Having become convinced that Welch had either tricked him or sold out to Zionist interests, he objected to what he called "the Birch hoax." He was "forced to resign" from the Society on 30 July 1966.[13][8] Oliver later claimed in 1981 to have discovered that Welch "was merely the nominal head of the Birch business, which he operated under the supervision of a committee of Jews."[8]

Oliver subsequently became involved with Willis Carto's National Youth Alliance (NYA).[8] The National Alliance website claims that Oliver worked with William Luther Pierce in the early years of the NYA.[14] Pierce later wrote The Turner Diaries, a 1978 novel about a race war and overthrow of the United States government.[15]

In 1978, Oliver became an editorial adviser for the Institute for Historical Review, an organization devoted primarily to Holocaust denial.[8] He was also a regular contributor to Liberty Bell magazine but received no mainstream notice.[citation needed]

Later years and death
Oliver retired in 1977.[16] In 1994, suffering from leukemia and severe emphysema, he committed suicide at the age of 86 in Urbana, Illinois. His estate arranged to publish several works posthumously through Historical Review Press and Liberty Bell, as well as to attend to the needs of his wife Grace in her declining years.[citation needed]

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (April 2019)
Oliver believed that religion was one of the major weaknesses of his nation and civilization. In a 1990 article, he characterized Christianity as "a spiritual syphilis" that "has rotted the minds of our race and induced paralysis of our will to live."[17]

Damon T. Berry, in his book Blood and Faith: Christianity and American White Nationalism (Syracuse University Press, 2017), devotes an entire chapter to Oliver, concluding that "Oliver hated both conservativism and Christianity...because they equally represented to him an ideological poison that was alien to the best instincts of the white race to defend its existence." (p. 41)

Name and pseudonyms
"Revilo P. Oliver" is a palindrome—a phrase that reads the same backwards and forwards. One of his articles was denounced as a fraud because readers thought his palindromic name was suspect. Oliver said his name had been given to first sons in his family for six generations.[18]

He used the pen names "Ralph Perier" (for The Jews Love Christianity and Religion and Race) and "Paul Knutson" (for Aryan Asses). Oliver is sometimes credited as the author of the Introduction (credited to Willis Carto) to Francis Parker Yockey's Imperium.[citation needed]

Oliver believed that religion was one of the major weaknesses of his nation and civilization. In a 1990 article, he characterized Christianity as "a spiritual syphilis" that "has rotted the minds of our race and induced paralysis of our will to live."[17]

Damon T. Berry, in his book Blood and Faith: Christianity and American White Nationalism (Syracuse University Press, 2017), devotes an entire chapter to Oliver, concluding that "Oliver hated both conservativism and Christianity...because they equally represented to him an ideological poison that was alien to the best instincts of the white race to defend its existence." (p. 41)

Name and pseudonyms
"Revilo P. Oliver" is a palindrome—a phrase that reads the same backwards and forwards. One of his articles was denounced as a fraud because readers thought his palindromic name was suspect. Oliver said his name had been given to first sons in his family for six generations.[18]

He used the pen names "Ralph Perier" (for The Jews Love Christianity and Religion and Race) and "Paul Knutson" (for Aryan Asses). Oliver is sometimes credited as the author of the Introduction (credited to Willis Carto) to Francis Parker Yockey's Imperium.[citation needed]

Revilo Pendleton Oliver (July 7, 1908 – August 20, 1994) was an American professor of Classical philology, Spanish, and Italian at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After World War II, he published in American Opinion, becoming known as a polemicist for white nationalist and right-wing causes.

Oliver also briefly attracted national notoriety in the 1960s when he published an article after the President John F. Kennedy assassination, suggesting that Lee Harvey Oswald was part of a Soviet conspiracy against the United States. He was called to testify before the Warren Commission investigating the murder.[1]

Life and career
Early life
Revilo Pendleton Oliver was born in 1908 near Corpus Christi, Texas. He attended two years of high school in Illinois. Disliking the severe winters, and once requiring hospitalization "for one of the first mastoidectomies performed as more than a daring experiment", he relocated to California, where he studied Sanskrit. He used Max Müller's handbooks and Monier Williams' grammar, later finding a Hindu missionary to tutor him.[2]

As an adolescent, he found amusement in watching evangelists "pitch the woo at the simple-minded", attending performances of Aimee Semple McPherson and Katherine Tingley.[2] He entered Pomona College in Claremont, California, when he was sixteen.[3]

Academia
In 1930, Oliver married Grace Needham. He returned to Illinois, where he attended the University of Illinois and studied under William Abbott Oldfather. His first book was an annotated translation, from the Sanskrit, of Mricchakatika (The Little Clay Cart), published by the University of Illinois in 1938. He received his PhD in 1940.[3] That same year, the University published his Ph.D. thesis: Niccolò Perotti's Translations of the Enchiridion, which was republished in 1954 as Niccolo Perotti's Version of the Enchiridion of Epictetus.[4]

Oliver began teaching graduate classes. For a number of years he also gave graduate courses in the Renaissance, teaching in the Departments of Spanish and Italian.[3]

During World War II Oliver said that he worked at an unnamed War Department agency from 1942 until the autumn of 1945, writing, "By good luck, I found myself in charge of a rapidly expanding department, and ...responsible for the work of c. 175 persons."[3]

Oliver left Washington, D.C. in 1945. He returned to the University of Illinois as an Assistant Professor, became an Associate Professor in 1947, and Professor in 1953.[5] He published little in the academic press but later became known for politically conservative articles expressing anti-Semitism and white nationalism.[citation needed]

Conservative movement
In November 1955, William F. Buckley, a graduate of Yale, founded the National Review, a magazine to express a conservative viewpoint.[6] Buckley would later claim that he worked to increase conservatism's respectability, prohibiting publication by anti-Semites or extremists such as Oliver, but he employed Oliver, his "close friend", as a book reviewer for the National Review for many years before finally breaking with him over his 1964 article on the Kennedy assassination.[7]

In 1958, Oliver joined Robert W. Welch, Jr. as one of the founding members of the conservative, anti-Communist John Birch Society.[8] Oliver wrote frequently for the Birch Society magazine American Opinion.[citation needed] In 1962, Buckley repudiated Welch and the "Birchers", saying they were "far removed from common sense" and urging the GOP to purge itself of Welch's influence.[9]

Oliver attracted attention from his university and the media by his two-part article called "Marxmanship in Dallas", published in February 1964 after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He said that Lee Harvey Oswald had carried out the murder as part of a Communist conspiracy; and that the Communists wanted to kill Kennedy, whom Oliver described as a puppet who had outlived his usefulness.[10] His comments were reported by the New York Times.[11] In March 1964, the Los Angeles Times reported that Oliver had been reprimanded by the University of Illinois' Board of Trustees for his remarks, but was allowed to keep his position.[12] Oliver testified in the fall of that year before the Warren Commission.[1]

White nationalism
In the 1960s, Oliver broke with American conservatism.[7] Having become convinced that Welch had either tricked him or sold out to Zionist interests, he objected to what he called "the Birch hoax." He was "forced to resign" from the Society on 30 July 1966.[13][8] Oliver later claimed in 1981 to have discovered that Welch "was merely the nominal head of the Birch business, which he operated under the supervision of a committee of Jews."[8]

Oliver subsequently became involved with Willis Carto's National Youth Alliance (NYA).[8] The National Alliance website claims that Oliver worked with William Luther Pierce in the early years of the NYA.[14] Pierce later wrote The Turner Diaries, a 1978 novel about a race war and overthrow of the United States government.[15]

In 1978, Oliver became an editorial adviser for the Institute for Historical Review, an organization devoted primarily to Holocaust denial.[8] He was also a regular contributor to Liberty Bell magazine but received no mainstream notice.[citation needed]

Later years and death
Oliver retired in 1977.[16] In 1994, suffering from leukemia and severe emphysema, he committed suicide at the age of 86 in Urbana, Illinois. His estate arranged to publish several works posthumously through Historical Review Press and Liberty Bell, as well as to attend to the needs of his wife Grace in her declining years.[citation needed]

He said that Lee Harvey Oswald had carried out the murder as part of a Communist conspiracy; and that the Communists wanted to kill Kennedy, whom Oliver described as a puppet who had outlived his usefulness.[10] His comments were reported by the New York Times.[11] In March 1964, the Los Angeles Times reported that Oliver had been reprimanded by the University of Illinois' Board of Trustees for his remarks, but was allowed to keep his position.[12] Oliver testified in the fall of that year before the Warren Commission.[1]

White nationalism
In the 1960s, Oliver broke with American conservatism.[7] Having become convinced that Welch had either tricked him or sold out to Zionist interests, he objected to what he called "the Birch hoax." He was "forced to resign" from the Society on 30 July 1966.[13][8] Oliver later claimed in 1981 to have discovered that Welch "was merely the nominal head of the Birch business, which he operated under the supervision of a committee of Jews."[8]

Oliver subsequently became involved with Willis Carto's National Youth Alliance (NYA).[8] The National Alliance website claims that Oliver worked with William Luther Pierce in the early years of the NYA.[14] Pierce later wrote The Turner Diaries, a 1978 novel about a race war and overthrow of the United States government.[15]

In 1978, Oliver became an editorial adviser for the Institute for Historical Review, an organization devoted primarily to Holocaust denial.[8] He was also a regular contributor to Liberty Bell magazine but received no mainstream notice.[citation needed]

Later years and death
Oliver retired in 1977.[16] In 1994, suffering from leukemia and severe emphysema, he committed suicide at the age of 86 in Urbana, Illinois. His estate arranged to publish several works posthumously through Historical Review Press and Liberty Bell, as well as to attend to the needs of his wife Grace in her declining years.[citation needed]

Oliver believed that religion was one of the major weaknesses of his nation and civilization. In a 1990 article, he characterized Christianity as "a spiritual syphilis" that "has rotted the minds of our race and induced paralysis of our will to live."[17]

Damon T. Berry, in his book Blood and Faith: Christianity and American White Nationalism (Syracuse University Press, 2017), devotes an entire chapter to Oliver, concluding that "Oliver hated both conservativism and Christianity...because they equally represented to him an ideological poison that was alien to the best instincts of the white race to defend its existence."

Revilo Pendleton Oliver (July 7, 1908 – August 20, 1994) was an American professor of Classical philology, Spanish, and Italian at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After World War II, he published in American Opinion, becoming known as a polemicist for white nationalist and right-wing causes.

Oliver also briefly attracted national notoriety in the 1960s when he published an article after the President John F. Kennedy assassination, suggesting that Lee Harvey Oswald was part of a Soviet conspiracy against the United States. He was called to testify before the Warren Commission investigating the murder.[1]

Life and career
Early life
Revilo Pendleton Oliver was born in 1908 near Corpus Christi, Texas. He attended two years of high school in Illinois. Disliking the severe winters, and once requiring hospitalization "for one of the first mastoidectomies performed as more than a daring experiment", he relocated to California, where he studied Sanskrit. He used Max Müller's handbooks and Monier Williams' grammar, later finding a Hindu missionary to tutor him.[2]

As an adolescent, he found amusement in watching evangelists "pitch the woo at the simple-minded", attending performances of Aimee Semple McPherson and Katherine Tingley.[2] He entered Pomona College in Claremont, California, when he was sixteen.[3]

Academia
In 1930, Oliver married Grace Needham. He returned to Illinois, where he attended the University of Illinois and studied under William Abbott Oldfather. His first book was an annotated translation, from the Sanskrit, of Mricchakatika (The Little Clay Cart), published by the University of Illinois in 1938. He received his PhD in 1940.[3] That same year, the University published his Ph.D. thesis: Niccolò Perotti's Translations of the Enchiridion, which was republished in 1954 as Niccolo Perotti's Version of the Enchiridion of Epictetus.[4]

Oliver began teaching graduate classes. For a number of years he also gave graduate courses in the Renaissance, teaching in the Departments of Spanish and Italian.[3]

During World War II Oliver said that he worked at an unnamed War Department agency from 1942 until the autumn of 1945, writing, "By good luck, I found myself in charge of a rapidly expanding department, and ...responsible for the work of c. 175 persons."[3]

Oliver left Washington, D.C. in 1945. He returned to the University of Illinois as an Assistant Professor, became an Associate Professor in 1947, and Professor in 1953.[5] He published little in the academic press but later became known for politically conservative articles expressing anti-Semitism and white nationalism.[citation needed]

Conservative movement
In November 1955, William F. Buckley, a graduate of Yale, founded the National Review, a magazine to express a conservative viewpoint.[6] Buckley would later claim that he worked to increase conservatism's respectability, prohibiting publication by anti-Semites or extremists such as Oliver, but he employed Oliver, his "close friend", as a book reviewer for the National Review for many years before finally breaking with him over his 1964 article on the Kennedy assassination.[7]

In 1958, Oliver joined Robert W. Welch, Jr. as one of the founding members of the conservative, anti-Communist John Birch Society.[8] Oliver wrote frequently for the Birch Society magazine American Opinion.[citation needed] In 1962, Buckley repudiated Welch and the "Birchers", saying they were "far removed from common sense" and urging the GOP to purge itself of Welch's influence.[9]

He received his PhD in 1940.[3] That same year, the University published his Ph.D. thesis: Niccolò Perotti's Translations of the Enchiridion, which was republished in 1954 as Niccolo Perotti's Version of the Enchiridion of Epictetus.[4]

Oliver began teaching graduate classes. For a number of years he also gave graduate courses in the Renaissance, teaching in the Departments of Spanish and Italian.[3]

During World War II Oliver said that he worked at an unnamed War Department agency from 1942 until the autumn of 1945, writing, "By good luck, I found myself in charge of a rapidly expanding department, and ...responsible for the work of c. 175 persons."[3]

Oliver left Washington, D.C. in 1945. He returned to the University of Illinois as an Assistant Professor, became an Associate Professor in 1947, and Professor in 1953.[5] He published little in the academic press but later became known for politically conservative articles expressing anti-Semitism and white nationalism.[citation needed]

Conservative movement
In November 1955, William F. Buckley, a graduate of Yale, founded the National Review, a magazine to express a conservative viewpoint.[6] Buckley would later claim that he worked to increase conservatism's respectability, prohibiting publication by anti-Semites or extremists such as Oliver, but he employed Oliver, his "close friend", as a book reviewer for the National Review for many years before finally breaking with him over his 1964 article on the Kennedy assassination.[7]

In 1958, Oliver joined Robert W. Welch, Jr. as one of the founding members of the conservative, anti-Communist John Birch Society.[8] Oliver wrote frequently for the Birch Society magazine American Opinion.[citation needed] In 1962, Buckley repudiated Welch and the "Birchers", saying they were "far removed from common sense" and urging the GOP to purge itself of Welch's influence.[9]

Oliver attracted attention from his university and the media by his two-part article called "Marxmanship in Dallas", published in February 1964 after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He said that Lee Harvey Oswald had carried out the murder as part of a Communist conspiracy; and that the Communists wanted to kill Kennedy, whom Oliver described as a puppet who had outlived his usefulness.[10] His comments were reported by the New York Times.[11] In March 1964, the Los Angeles Times reported that Oliver had been reprimanded by the University of Illinois' Board of Trustees for his remarks, but was allowed to keep his position.[12] Oliver testified in the fall of that year before the Warren Commission.[1]

White nationalism
In the 1960s, Oliver broke with American conservatism.[7] Having become convinced that Welch had either tricked him or sold out to Zionist interests, he objected to what he called "the Birch hoax." He was "forced to resign" from the Society on 30 July 1966.[13][8] Oliver later claimed in 1981 to have discovered that Welch "was merely the nominal head of the Birch business, which he operated under the supervision of a committee of Jews."[8]

Oliver subsequently became involved with Willis Carto's National Youth Alliance (NYA).[8] The National Alliance website claims that Oliver worked with William Luther Pierce in the early years of the NYA.[14] Pierce later wrote The Turner Diaries, a 1978 novel about a race war and overthrow of the United States government.[15]

In 1978, Oliver became an editorial adviser for the Institute for Historical Review, an organization devoted primarily to Holocaust denial.[8] He was also a regular contributor to Liberty Bell magazine but received no mainstream notice.[citation needed]

Later years and death
Oliver retired in 1977.[16] In 1994, suffering from leukemia and severe emphysema, he committed suicide at the age of 86 in Urbana, Illinois. His estate arranged to publish several works posthumously through Historical Review Press and Liberty Bell, as well as to attend to the needs of his wife Grace in her declining years.[citation needed]

Oliver believed that religion was one of the major weaknesses of his nation and civilization. In a 1990 article, he characterized Christianity as "a spiritual syphilis" that "has rotted the minds of our race and induced paralysis of our will to live."[17]

Damon T. Berry, in his book Blood and Faith: Christianity and American White Nationalism (Syracuse University Press, 2017), devotes an entire chapter to Oliver, concluding that "Oliver hated both conservativism and Christianity...because they equally represented to him an ideological poison that was alien to the best instincts of the white race to defend its existence."

Life and career
Early life
Revilo Pendleton Oliver was born in 1908 near Corpus Christi, Texas. He attended two years of high school in Illinois. Disliking the severe winters, and once requiring hospitalization "for one of the first mastoidectomies performed as more than a daring experiment", he relocated to California, where he studied Sanskrit. He used Max Müller's handbooks and Monier Williams' grammar, later finding a Hindu missionary to tutor him.[2]

As an adolescent, he found amusement in watching evangelists "pitch the woo at the simple-minded", attending performances of Aimee Semple McPherson and Katherine Tingley.[2] He entered Pomona College in Claremont, California, when he was sixteen.[3]

In 1930, Oliver married Grace Needham. He returned to Illinois, where he attended the University of Illinois and studied under William Abbott Oldfather.

Oliver also briefly attracted national notoriety in the 1960s when he published an article after the President John F. Kennedy assassination, suggesting that Lee Harvey Oswald was part of a Soviet conspiracy against the United States. He was called to testify before the Warren Commission investigating the murder.[1]

Life and career
Early life
Revilo Pendleton Oliver was born in 1908 near Corpus Christi, Texas. He attended two years of high school in Illinois. Disliking the severe winters, and once requiring hospitalization "for one of the first mastoidectomies performed as more than a daring experiment", he relocated to California, where he studied Sanskrit. He used Max Müller's handbooks and Monier Williams' grammar, later finding a Hindu missionary to tutor him.[2]

As an adolescent, he found amusement in watching evangelists "pitch the woo at the simple-minded", attending performances of Aimee Semple McPherson and Katherine Tingley.[2] He entered Pomona College in Claremont, California, when he was sixteen.[3]

Academia
In 1930, Oliver married Grace Needham. He returned to Illinois, where he attended the University of Illinois and studied under William Abbott Oldfather. His first book was an annotated translation, from the Sanskrit, of Mricchakatika (The Little Clay Cart), published by the University of Illinois in 1938. He received his PhD in 1940.[3] That same year, the University published his Ph.D. thesis: Niccolò Perotti's Translations of the Enchiridion, which was republished in 1954 as Niccolo Perotti's Version of the Enchiridion of Epictetus.[4]

Oliver began teaching graduate classes. For a number of years he also gave graduate courses in the Renaissance, teaching in the Departments of Spanish and Italian.[3]

During World War II Oliver said that he worked at an unnamed War Department agency from 1942 until the autumn of 1945, writing, "By good luck, I found myself in charge of a rapidly expanding department, and ...responsible for the work of c. 175 persons."[3]

Oliver left Washington, D.C. in 1945. He returned to the University of Illinois as an Assistant Professor, became an Associate Professor in 1947, and Professor in 1953.[5] He published little in the academic press but later became known for politically conservative articles expressing anti-Semitism and white nationalism.[citation needed]

Conservative movement
In November 1955, William F. Buckley, a graduate of Yale, founded the National Review, a magazine to express a conservative viewpoint.[6] Buckley would later claim that he worked to increase conservatism's respectability, prohibiting publication by anti-Semites or extremists such as Oliver, but he employed Oliver, his "close friend", as a book reviewer for the National Review for many years before finally breaking with him over his 1964 article on the Kennedy assassination.[7]

In 1958, Oliver joined Robert W. Welch, Jr. as one of the founding members of the conservative, anti-Communist John Birch Society.[8] Oliver wrote frequently for the Birch Society magazine American Opinion.[citation needed] In 1962, Buckley repudiated Welch and the "Birchers", saying they were "far removed from common sense" and urging the GOP to purge itself of Welch's influence.[9]

Oliver attracted attention from his university and the media by his two-part article called "Marxmanship in Dallas", published in February 1964 after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He said that Lee Harvey Oswald had carried out the murder as part of a Communist conspiracy; and that the Communists wanted to kill Kennedy, whom Oliver described as a puppet who had outlived his usefulness.[10] His comments were reported by the New York Times.[11] In March 1964, the Los Angeles Times reported that Oliver had been reprimanded by the University of Illinois' Board of Trustees for his remarks, but was allowed to keep his position.[12] Oliver testified in the fall of that year before the Warren Commission.[1]

White nationalism
In the 1960s, Oliver broke with American conservatism.[7] Having become convinced that Welch had either tricked him or sold out to Zionist interests, he objected to what he called "the Birch hoax." He was "forced to resign" from the Society on 30 July 1966.[13][8] Oliver later claimed in 1981 to have discovered that Welch "was merely the nominal head of the Birch business, which he operated under the supervision of a committee of Jews."[8]

Oliver subsequently became involved with Willis Carto's National Youth Alliance (NYA).[8] The National Alliance website claims that Oliver worked with William Luther Pierce in the early years of the NYA.[14] Pierce later wrote The Turner Diaries, a 1978 novel about a race war and overthrow of the United States government.[15]

In 1978, Oliver became an editorial adviser for the Institute for Historical Review, an organization devoted primarily to Holocaust denial.[8] He was also a regular contributor to Liberty Bell magazine but received no mainstream notice.[citation needed]

Later years and death
Oliver retired in 1977.[16] In 1994, suffering from leukemia and severe emphysema, he committed suicide at the age of 86 in Urbana, Illinois. His estate arranged to publish several works posthumously through Historical Review Press and Liberty Bell, as well as to attend to the needs of his wife Grace in her declining years.[citation needed]

Oliver believed that religion was one of the major weaknesses of his nation and civilization. In a 1990 article, he characterized Christianity as "a spiritual syphilis" that "has rotted the minds of our race and induced paralysis of our will to live."[17]

Damon T. Berry, in his book Blood and Faith: Christianity and American White Nationalism (Syracuse University Press, 2017), devotes an entire chapter to Oliver, concluding that "Oliver hated both conservativism and Christianity...because they equally represented to him an ideological poison that was alien to the best instincts of the white race to defend its existence." (p. 41)

Name and pseudonyms
"Revilo P. Oliver" is a palindrome—a phrase that reads the same backwards and forwards. One of his articles was denounced as a fraud because readers thought his palindromic name was suspect. Oliver said his name had been given to first sons in his family for six generations.[18]

He used the pen names "Ralph Perier" (for The Jews Love Christianity and Religion and Race) and "Paul Knutson" (for Aryan Asses). Oliver is sometimes credited as the author of the Introduction (credited to Willis Carto) to Francis Parker Yockey's Imperium.[citation needed]

Revilo Pendleton Oliver (July 7, 1908 – August 20, 1994) was an American professor of Classical philology, Spanish, and Italian at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After World War II, he published in American Opinion, becoming known as a polemicist for white nationalist and right-wing causes.

Oliver also briefly attracted national notoriety in the 1960s when he published an article after the President John F. Kennedy assassination, suggesting that Lee Harvey Oswald was part of a Soviet conspiracy against the United States. He was called to testify before the Warren Commission investigating the murder.[1]

Life and career
Early life
Revilo Pendleton Oliver was born in 1908 near Corpus Christi, Texas. He attended two years of high school in Illinois. Disliking the severe winters, and once requiring hospitalization "for one of the first mastoidectomies performed as more than a daring experiment", he relocated to California, where he studied Sanskrit. He used Max Müller's handbooks and Monier Williams' grammar, later finding a Hindu missionary to tutor him.[2]

As an adolescent, he found amusement in watching evangelists "pitch the woo at the simple-minded", attending performances of Aimee Semple McPherson and Katherine Tingley.[2] He entered Pomona College in Claremont, California, when he was sixteen.[3]

Academia
In 1930, Oliver married Grace Needham. He returned to Illinois, where he attended the University of Illinois and studied under William Abbott Oldfather. His first book was an annotated translation, from the Sanskrit, of Mricchakatika (The Little Clay Cart), published by the University of Illinois in 1938. He received his PhD in 1940.[3] That same year, the University published his Ph.D. thesis: Niccolò Perotti's Translations of the Enchiridion, which was republished in 1954 as Niccolo Perotti's Version of the Enchiridion of Epictetus.[4]

Oliver began teaching graduate classes. For a number of years he also gave graduate courses in the Renaissance, teaching in the Departments of Spanish and Italian.[3]

During World War II Oliver said that he worked at an unnamed War Department agency from 1942 until the autumn of 1945, writing, "By good luck, I found myself in charge of a rapidly expanding department, and ...responsible for the work of c. 175 persons."[3]

Oliver left Washington, D.C. in 1945. He returned to the University of Illinois as an Assistant Professor, became an Associate Professor in 1947, and Professor in 1953.[5] He published little in the academic press but later became known for politically conservative articles expressing anti-Semitism and white nationalism.[citation needed]

Conservative movement
In November 1955, William F. Buckley, a graduate of Yale, founded the National Review, a magazine to express a conservative viewpoint.[6] Buckley would later claim that he worked to increase conservatism's respectability, prohibiting publication by anti-Semites or extremists such as Oliver, but he employed Oliver, his "close friend", as a book reviewer for the National Review for many years before finally breaking with him over his 1964 article on the Kennedy assassination.[7]

In 1958, Oliver joined Robert W. Welch, Jr. as one of the founding members of the conservative, anti-Communist John Birch Society.[8] Oliver wrote frequently for the Birch Society magazine American Opinion.[citation needed] In 1962, Buckley repudiated Welch and the "Birchers", saying they were "far removed from common sense" and urging the GOP to purge itself of Welch's influence.[9]

Oliver attracted attention from his university and the media by his two-part article called "Marxmanship in Dallas", published in February 1964 after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He said that Lee Harvey Oswald had carried out the murder as part of a Communist conspiracy; and that the Communists wanted to kill Kennedy, whom Oliver described as a puppet who had outlived his usefulness.[10] His comments were reported by the New York Times.[11] In March 1964, the Los Angeles Times reported that Oliver had been reprimanded by the University of Illinois' Board of Trustees for his remarks, but was allowed to keep his position.[12] Oliver testified in the fall of that year before the Warren Commission.[1]

White nationalism
In the 1960s, Oliver broke with American conservatism.[7] Having become convinced that Welch had either tricked him or sold out to Zionist interests, he objected to what he called "the Birch hoax." He was "forced to resign" from the Society on 30 July 1966.[13][8] Oliver later claimed in 1981 to have discovered that Welch "was merely the nominal head of the Birch business, which he operated under the supervision of a committee of Jews."[8]

Oliver subsequently became involved with Willis Carto's National Youth Alliance (NYA).[8] The National Alliance website claims that Oliver worked with William Luther Pierce in the early years of the NYA.[14] Pierce later wrote The Turner Diaries, a 1978 novel about a race war and overthrow of the United States government.[15]

In 1978, Oliver became an editorial adviser for the Institute for Historical Review, an organization devoted primarily to Holocaust denial.[8] He was also a regular contributor to Liberty Bell magazine but received no mainstream notice.[citation needed]

Later years and death
Oliver retired in 1977.[16] In 1994, suffering from leukemia and severe emphysema, he committed suicide at the age of 86 in Urbana, Illinois. His estate arranged to publish several works posthumously through Historical Review Press and Liberty Bell, as well as to attend to the needs of his wife Grace in her declining years.[citation needed]

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (April 2019)
Oliver believed that religion was one of the major weaknesses of his nation and civilization. In a 1990 article, he characterized Christianity as "a spiritual syphilis" that "has rotted the minds of our race and induced paralysis of our will to live."[17]

Damon T. Berry, in his book Blood and Faith: Christianity and American White Nationalism (Syracuse University Press, 2017), devotes an entire chapter to Oliver, concluding that "Oliver hated both conservativism and Christianity...because they equally represented to him an ideological poison that was alien to the best instincts of the white race to defend its existence." (p. 41)

Name and pseudonyms
"Revilo P. Oliver" is a palindrome—a phrase that reads the same backwards and forwards. One of his articles was denounced as a fraud because readers thought his palindromic name was suspect. Oliver said his name had been given to first sons in his family for six generations.[18]

He used the pen names "Ralph Perier" (for The Jews Love Christianity and Religion and Race) and "Paul Knutson" (for Aryan Asses). Oliver is sometimes credited as the author of the Introduction (credited to Willis Carto) to Francis Parker Yockey's Imperium.[citation needed]

Revilo Pendleton Oliver (July 7, 1908 – August 20, 1994) was an American professor of Classical philology, Spanish, and Italian at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After World War II, he published in American Opinion, becoming known as a polemicist for white nationalist and right-wing causes.

Oliver also briefly attracted national notoriety in the 1960s when he published an article after the President John F. Kennedy assassination, suggesting that Lee Harvey Oswald was part of a Soviet conspiracy against the United States. He was called to testify before the Warren Commission investigating the murder.[1]

Life and career
Early life
Revilo Pendleton Oliver was born in 1908 near Corpus Christi, Texas. He attended two years of high school in Illinois. Disliking the severe winters, and once requiring hospitalization "for one of the first mastoidectomies performed as more than a daring experiment", he relocated to California, where he studied Sanskrit. He used Max Müller's handbooks and Monier Williams' grammar, later finding a Hindu missionary to tutor him.[2]

As an adolescent, he found amusement in watching evangelists "pitch the woo at the simple-minded", attending performances of Aimee Semple McPherson and Katherine Tingley.[2] He entered Pomona College in Claremont, California, when he was sixteen.[3]

Academia
In 1930, Oliver married Grace Needham. He returned to Illinois, where he attended the University of Illinois and studied under William Abbott Oldfather. His first book was an annotated translation, from the Sanskrit, of Mricchakatika (The Little Clay Cart), published by the University of Illinois in 1938. He received his PhD in 1940.[3] That same year, the University published his Ph.D. thesis: Niccolò Perotti's Translations of the Enchiridion, which was republished in 1954 as Niccolo Perotti's Version of the Enchiridion of Epictetus.[4]

Oliver began teaching graduate classes. For a number of years he also gave graduate courses in the Renaissance, teaching in the Departments of Spanish and Italian.[3]

During World War II Oliver said that he worked at an unnamed War Department agency from 1942 until the autumn of 1945, writing, "By good luck, I found myself in charge of a rapidly expanding department, and ...responsible for the work of c. 175 persons."[3]

Oliver left Washington, D.C. in 1945. He returned to the University of Illinois as an Assistant Professor, became an Associate Professor in 1947, and Professor in 1953.[5] He published little in the academic press but later became known for politically conservative articles expressing anti-Semitism and white nationalism.[citation needed]

Conservative movement
In November 1955, William F. Buckley, a graduate of Yale, founded the National Review, a magazine to express a conservative viewpoint.[6] Buckley would later claim that he worked to increase conservatism's respectability, prohibiting publication by anti-Semites or extremists such as Oliver, but he employed Oliver, his "close friend", as a book reviewer for the National Review for many years before finally breaking with him over his 1964 article on the Kennedy assassination.[7]

In 1958, Oliver joined Robert W. Welch, Jr. as one of the founding members of the conservative, anti-Communist John Birch Society.[8] Oliver wrote frequently for the Birch Society magazine American Opinion.[citation needed] In 1962, Buckley repudiated Welch and the "Birchers", saying they were "far removed from common sense" and urging the GOP to purge itself of Welch's influence.[9]

Oliver attracted attention from his university and the media by his two-part article called "Marxmanship in Dallas", published in February 1964 after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He said that Lee Harvey Oswald had carried out the murder as part of a Communist conspiracy; and that the Communists wanted to kill Kennedy, whom Oliver described as a puppet who had outlived his usefulness.[10] His comments were reported by the New York Times.[11] In March 1964, the Los Angeles Times reported that Oliver had been reprimanded by the University of Illinois' Board of Trustees for his remarks, but was allowed to keep his position.[12] Oliver testified in the fall of that year before the Warren Commission.[1]

White nationalism
In the 1960s, Oliver broke with American conservatism.[7] Having become convinced that Welch had either tricked him or sold out to Zionist interests, he objected to what he called "the Birch hoax." He was "forced to resign" from the Society on 30 July 1966.[13][8] Oliver later claimed in 1981 to have discovered that Welch "was merely the nominal head of the Birch business, which he operated under the supervision of a committee of Jews."[8]

Oliver subsequently became involved with Willis Carto's National Youth Alliance (NYA).[8] The National Alliance website claims that Oliver worked with William Luther Pierce in the early years of the NYA.[14] Pierce later wrote The Turner Diaries, a 1978 novel about a race war and overthrow of the United States government.[15]

In 1978, Oliver became an editorial adviser for the Institute for Historical Review, an organization devoted primarily to Holocaust denial.[8] He was also a regular contributor to Liberty Bell magazine but received no mainstream notice.[citation needed]

Later years and death
Oliver retired in 1977.[16] In 1994, suffering from leukemia and severe emphysema, he committed suicide at the age of 86 in Urbana, Illinois. His estate arranged to publish several works posthumously through Historical Review Press and Liberty Bell, as well as to attend to the needs of his wife Grace in her declining years.[citation needed]

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (April 2019)
Oliver believed that religion was one of the major weaknesses of his nation and civilization. In a 1990 article, he characterized Christianity as "a spiritual syphilis" that "has rotted the minds of our race and induced paralysis of our will to live."[17]

Damon T. Berry, in his book Blood and Faith: Christianity and American White Nationalism (Syracuse University Press, 2017), devotes an entire chapter to Oliver, concluding that "Oliver hated both conservativism and Christianity...because they equally represented to him an ideological poison that was alien to the best instincts of the white race to defend its existence." (p. 41)

Name and pseudonyms
"Revilo P. Oliver" is a palindrome—a phrase that reads the same backwards and forwards. One of his articles was denounced as a fraud because readers thought his palindromic name was suspect. Oliver said his name had been given to first sons in his family for six generations.[18]

He used the pen names "Ralph Perier" (for The Jews Love Christianity and Religion and Race) and "Paul Knutson" (for Aryan Asses). Oliver is sometimes credited as the author of the Introduction (credited to Willis Carto) to Francis Parker Yockey's Imperium.[citation needed]

Revilo Pendleton Oliver (July 7, 1908 – August 20, 1994) was an American professor of Classical philology, Spanish, and Italian at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After World War II, he published in American Opinion, becoming known as a polemicist for white nationalist and right-wing causes.

Oliver also briefly attracted national notoriety in the 1960s when he published an article after the President John F. Kennedy assassination, suggesting that Lee Harvey Oswald was part of a Soviet conspiracy against the United States. He was called to testify before the Warren Commission investigating the murder.[1]

Life and career
Early life
Revilo Pendleton Oliver was born in 1908 near Corpus Christi, Texas. He attended two years of high school in Illinois. Disliking the severe winters, and once requiring hospitalization "for one of the first mastoidectomies performed as more than a daring experiment", he relocated to California, where he studied Sanskrit. He used Max Müller's handbooks and Monier Williams' grammar, later finding a Hindu missionary to tutor him.[2]

As an adolescent, he found amusement in watching evangelists "pitch the woo at the simple-minded", attending performances of Aimee Semple McPherson and Katherine Tingley.[2] He entered Pomona College in Claremont, California, when he was sixteen.[3]

Academia
In 1930, Oliver married Grace Needham. He returned to Illinois, where he attended the University of Illinois and studied under William Abbott Oldfather. His first book was an annotated translation, from the Sanskrit, of Mricchakatika (The Little Clay Cart), published by the University of Illinois in 1938. He received his PhD in 1940.[3] That same year, the University published his Ph.D. thesis: Niccolò Perotti's Translations of the Enchiridion, which was republished in 1954 as Niccolo Perotti's Version of the Enchiridion of Epictetus.[4]

Oliver began teaching graduate classes. For a number of years he also gave graduate courses in the Renaissance, teaching in the Departments of Spanish and Italian.[3]

During World War II Oliver said that he worked at an unnamed War Department agency from 1942 until the autumn of 1945, writing, "By good luck, I found myself in charge of a rapidly expanding department, and ...responsible for the work of c. 175 persons."[3]

Oliver left Washington, D.C. in 1945. He returned to the University of Illinois as an Assistant Professor, became an Associate Professor in 1947, and Professor in 1953.[5] He published little in the academic press but later became known for politically conservative articles expressing anti-Semitism and white nationalism.[citation needed]

Conservative movement
In November 1955, William F. Buckley, a graduate of Yale, founded the National Review, a magazine to express a conservative viewpoint.[6] Buckley would later claim that he worked to increase conservatism's respectability, prohibiting publication by anti-Semites or extremists such as Oliver, but he employed Oliver, his "close friend", as a book reviewer for the National Review for many years before finally breaking with him over his 1964 article on the Kennedy assassination.[7]

In 1958, Oliver joined Robert W. Welch, Jr. as one of the founding members of the conservative, anti-Communist John Birch Society.[8] Oliver wrote frequently for the Birch Society magazine American Opinion.[citation needed] In 1962, Buckley repudiated Welch and the "Birchers", saying they were "far removed from common sense" and urging the GOP to purge itself of Welch's influence.[9]

Oliver attracted attention from his university and the media by his two-part article called "Marxmanship in Dallas", published in February 1964 after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He said that Lee Harvey Oswald had carried out the murder as part of a Communist conspiracy; and that the Communists wanted to kill Kennedy, whom Oliver described as a puppet who had outlived his usefulness.[10] His comments were reported by the New York Times.[11] In March 1964, the Los Angeles Times reported that Oliver had been reprimanded by the University of Illinois' Board of Trustees for his remarks, but was allowed to keep his position.[12] Oliver testified in the fall of that year before the Warren Commission.[1]

White nationalism
In the 1960s, Oliver broke with American conservatism.[7] Having become convinced that Welch had either tricked him or sold out to Zionist interests, he objected to what he called "the Birch hoax." He was "forced to resign" from the Society on 30 July 1966.[13][8] Oliver later claimed in 1981 to have discovered that Welch "was merely the nominal head of the Birch business, which he operated under the supervision of a committee of Jews."[8]

Oliver subsequently became involved with Willis Carto's National Youth Alliance (NYA).[8] The National Alliance website claims that Oliver worked with William Luther Pierce in the early years of the NYA.[14] Pierce later wrote The Turner Diaries, a 1978 novel about a race war and overthrow of the United States government.[15]

In 1978, Oliver became an editorial adviser for the Institute for Historical Review, an organization devoted primarily to Holocaust denial.[8] He was also a regular contributor to Liberty Bell magazine but received no mainstream notice.[citation needed]

Later years and death
Oliver retired in 1977.[16] In 1994, suffering from leukemia and severe emphysema, he committed suicide at the age of 86 in Urbana, Illinois. His estate arranged to publish several works posthumously through Historical Review Press and Liberty Bell, as well as to attend to the needs of his wife Grace in her declining years.[citation needed]

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (April 2019)
Oliver believed that religion was one of the major weaknesses of his nation and civilization. In a 1990 article, he characterized Christianity as "a spiritual syphilis" that "has rotted the minds of our race and induced paralysis of our will to live."[17]

Damon T. Berry, in his book Blood and Faith: Christianity and American White Nationalism (Syracuse University Press, 2017), devotes an entire chapter to Oliver, concluding that "Oliver hated both conservativism and Christianity...because they equally represented to him an ideological poison that was alien to the best instincts of the white race to defend its existence." (p. 41)

Oliver subsequently became involved with Willis Carto's National Youth Alliance (NYA).[8] The National Alliance website claims that Oliver worked with William Luther Pierce in the early years of the NYA.[14] Pierce later wrote The Turner Diaries, a 1978 novel about a race war and overthrow of the United States government.[15]

Revilo Pendleton Oliver (July 7, 1908 – August 20, 1994) was an American professor of Classical philology, Spanish, and Italian at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After World War II, he published in American Opinion, becoming known as a polemicist for white nationalist and right-wing causes.

Oliver also briefly attracted national notoriety in the 1960s when he published an article after the President John F. Kennedy assassination, suggesting that Lee Harvey Oswald was part of a Soviet conspiracy against the United States. He was called to testify before the Warren Commission investigating the murder.[1]

Life and career
Early life
Revilo Pendleton Oliver was born in 1908 near Corpus Christi, Texas. He attended two years of high school in Illinois. Disliking the severe winters, and once requiring hospitalization "for one of the first mastoidectomies performed as more than a daring experiment", he relocated to California, where he studied Sanskrit. He used Max Müller's handbooks and Monier Williams' grammar, later finding a Hindu missionary to tutor him.[2]

As an adolescent, he found amusement in watching evangelists "pitch the woo at the simple-minded", attending performances of Aimee Semple McPherson and Katherine Tingley.[2] He entered Pomona College in Claremont, California, when he was sixteen.[3]

Academia
In 1930, Oliver married Grace Needham. He returned to Illinois, where he attended the University of Illinois and studied under William Abbott Oldfather. His first book was an annotated translation, from the Sanskrit, of Mricchakatika (The Little Clay Cart), published by the University of Illinois in 1938. He received his PhD in 1940.[3] That same year, the University published his Ph.D. thesis: Niccolò Perotti's Translations of the Enchiridion, which was republished in 1954 as Niccolo Perotti's Version of the Enchiridion of Epictetus.[4]

Oliver began teaching graduate classes. For a number of years he also gave graduate courses in the Renaissance, teaching in the Departments of Spanish and Italian.[3]

During World War II Oliver said that he worked at an unnamed War Department agency from 1942 until the autumn of 1945, writing, "By good luck, I found myself in charge of a rapidly expanding department, and ...responsible for the work of c. 175 persons."[3]

Oliver left Washington, D.C. in 1945. He returned to the University of Illinois as an Assistant Professor, became an Associate Professor in 1947, and Professor in 1953.[5] He published little in the academic press but later became known for politically conservative articles expressing anti-Semitism and white nationalism.[citation needed]

Conservative movement
In November 1955, William F. Buckley, a graduate of Yale, founded the National Review, a magazine to express a conservative viewpoint.[6] Buckley would later claim that he worked to increase conservatism's respectability, prohibiting publication by anti-Semites or extremists such as Oliver, but he employed Oliver, his "close friend", as a book reviewer for the National Review for many years before finally breaking with him over his 1964 article on the Kennedy assassination.[7]

In 1958, Oliver joined Robert W. Welch, Jr. as one of the founding members of the conservative, anti-Communist John Birch Society.[8] Oliver wrote frequently for the Birch Society magazine American Opinion.[citation needed] In 1962, Buckley repudiated Welch and the "Birchers", saying they were "far removed from common sense" and urging the GOP to purge itself of Welch's influence.[9]

Oliver attracted attention from his university and the media by his two-part article called "Marxmanship in Dallas", published in February 1964 after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He said that Lee Harvey Oswald had carried out the murder as part of a Communist conspiracy; and that the Communists wanted to kill Kennedy, whom Oliver described as a puppet who had outlived his usefulness.[10] His comments were reported by the New York Times.[11] In March 1964, the Los Angeles Times reported that Oliver had been reprimanded by the University of Illinois' Board of Trustees for his remarks, but was allowed to keep his position.[12] Oliver testified in the fall of that year before the Warren Commission.[1]

White nationalism
In the 1960s, Oliver broke with American conservatism.[7] Having become convinced that Welch had either tricked him or sold out to Zionist interests, he objected to what he called "the Birch hoax." He was "forced to resign" from the Society on 30 July 1966.[13][8] Oliver later claimed in 1981 to have discovered that Welch "was merely the nominal head of the Birch business, which he operated under the supervision of a committee of Jews."[8]

Oliver subsequently became involved with Willis Carto's National Youth Alliance (NYA).[8] The National Alliance website claims that Oliver worked with William Luther Pierce in the early years of the NYA.[14] Pierce later wrote The Turner Diaries, a 1978 novel about a race war and overthrow of the United States government.[15]

In 1978, Oliver became an editorial adviser for the Institute for Historical Review, an organization devoted primarily to Holocaust denial.[8] He was also a regular contributor to Liberty Bell magazine but received no mainstream notice.[citation needed]

Later years and death
Oliver retired in 1977.[16] In 1994, suffering from leukemia and severe emphysema, he committed suicide at the age of 86 in Urbana, Illinois. His estate arranged to publish several works posthumously through Historical Review Press and Liberty Bell, as well as to attend to the needs of his wife Grace in her declining years.[citation needed]

OH GOD

[T3]

I typed it but my computer started lagging so I spammed submit

[T3]

Wow I'm a high poster.

[T3]

I typed it but my computer started lagging so I spammed submit

You totally did that to have a higher post count than me

[T3]

Having a higher post count than me is illegal in -10 countries

[T3]

Having a higher post count than me is illegal in -10 countries

You get unarrested :3

Ah yes, the :3.

:3

:3

:3

:3

:3

:3

Lesson plan: Learn the use of “:3” compared to its counterpart, “:)”.

The emoticon called “neko smile emoticon”, written as “:3”, the combination of a colon and the number three, is a way of expressing a more innocence feel of happiness than its counterpart, the emoticon smiley face, written as “:)”.

It is much, much, much more superior than the smiley emoticon.

It is derived from a face of a cat, especially the Japanese depiction of cats, known as a neko (or “nuko” in slang), with a mouth curved in a shape almost like a letter three.

It is always a genuine form of happiness, unlike its counterpart, since it is more specific to happiness than just smiling, where as its counterpart can also be used in more negative connotations (ex: “I’m totally glad you didn’t give me any food at all, thanks ”. This is a sarcastic smiley emoticon. Not good emoticon.)

The emoticon has many usages in everyday life. Here are a few examples:

“Good morning :3”. This is to show that you wish someone a lovely morning, while showing you are genuinely happy to have this morning with target.
“That’s great :3”. By adding the emoticon at the end, you show you really mean it, and makes sure there’s no hint of sarcasm.
“Just kidding :3”. This emoticon shines here because it shows while yes, you were just kidding, it shows it in a cute way, so it is a x2 better-er than any other emoticon.
“Grr :3”. It instantly shows you’re not actually grr-ing at the other person, and you’re just playfully grr-ing, since it is so good at showing genuine feelings and dispelling any negative feelings.
“I love you :3”. This is the ultimate way of showing affection. Trust me :3.
There are many other ways to use the emoticon, but for now, these will suffice.

There are also different variants of the neko emoticon: “;3” (winking neko face), “>:3” (mischievous neko face), and “>;3” (mischievous winking neko face). They work in the same way as their smiley counterpart, except x10 better in every way.

Yes, you will have to memorize these for the test.

No, no open notes.

There’s also (´・ω・`), but it’s for another day.

Assignment:

Write 100 “:3” in the comments for idk something. (Who knows it could be 1 million dollars *wink*)

t3 probably town?

elaborate?

seems to be having fun in a way which doesn't match anything of my memory from situation room (scum) and which, upon checking, sort of matches the behavior from townstumps (town), so with n=2 examples it's pretty much a lock townread.

this is the kind of high quality scumhunting that we do over here at NSG Ltd.

Townstumps I was on a deliberately troll alt and Situation Room I replaced in halfway through day 1 with 3 of my scumbuddies tied for top wagon.

[T3]

Actually that's a good observation but bad reasoning.

[T3]

I'm really awkward as scum in RVS>

[T3]

This is like scum me in RVS:

All,

I am so sorry I am so late to the thread - you've all given me so much to think about, so it has taken me a little while to gather my thoughts and process it all.

One advantage of waiting until there has been a bit of back and forth is that one can start to get a sense of how the game is going to go, and start to make some initial reads. Lots to unpack here, so I'll get straight to it.

First!

I don't like this post. Clearly, post 6 is not post 1, and lying to us straight out of the bad is not a good look. In fact, I propose that we should make it a sort of agreement between us that if any of us are caught lying - about anything - we should give strong consideration to eliminating said person as a result. In addition, the whole post - the content, the tone, the context in which it was posted just gives me a general sense of unease. It was a gut read initially, but I think it's clear I was considering

MiniMegabyte

as at least a slight leanscum here already. Hence far, I have to say the rest of the players are null reads, which considering how advanced the game state is we can start to stop chucking random votes around, this took me a surprise - I was about to say we have some very good mafia players here, but then it occurred to me that if you were truly that skilled you would have convinced me to give you at least a slight townread by now.

(inserts shaking hands emoji here)

Ahh, and here is it; the smoking gun that grants some confidence to that earlier gut read. I am aware of the existence of confirmation bias, so I have gone through all the contributions

MiniMegabyte

has made very carefully several times to try and guard against that, but no -

MiniMegabyte

is a strong scum read at this point. Let me explain.

MiniMegabyte

is clearly trying to insinuate that she has no personal knowledge of

VFP

, particularly as this comes of the back of

VFPs

explicit (and as it turned out - also false) statement that they don't know

anyone

in the game. Also of interest is the actual emoji chosen here - a handshake. Between two persons. To the exclusion of the rest of the group. See where I am going with this? She also specifically and pointedly says "Nice to meet

ya

!" instead of "nice to meet

you

". We all know English is one of those languages where 'you' can refer to a singular or an individual. Using it here would be natural, avoid the wavy red line most modern day browsers would assign to the word, and give her the benefit of the ambiguity if anyone paying attention catches it. Instead, we get the informal 'ya', standing in contrast to 'y'all', which to me is a further indication the introduction is addressed specifically to

VFP

and she wants us to know it.

The question now becomes why? In my view, the only explanation that makes any sort of sense is she wants us to think, even if only subconsciously, that this over the top, public performance is the first time these two have ever came in to contact, and they most definitely have

NOT

already said hi to each other in the scum thread. No sir, definitely not! Nothing to see here folks! Shake my hand and smile!

You might think that this makes

VFP

her scum partner then, and the game is solved. Putting aside my feelings towards how I would feel if my first ever game of Mafia was solved and ended on the first IRL day, I don't actually think this is the case. I think

MiniMegabyte

knew that someone might pick up on the vibes between the two here and our first thought would be that they are scum partners. But equally, perhaps that what they just want us to think? I wish there was some term to describe this, but I've checked the wiki inside out and can't find one, so I have invented one, both to refer to this situation and the approach I think we should take to try and come to some sort of conclusion as to how to deal with it. I call it Written Information Follows Overt Meta (WIFOM) - in other words, when what you see written down is in line with what would be expected from your experience you should assume that it is true. No sane scum player wants to associate themselves so strongly with their scum partner so obviously and early, so when we see it happening, we should assume that ISN'T what is happening, that makes no sense. Thus, this is all a big play, and we can actually rule out

VFP

as the other scum. As an aside, feel free to use that acronym in your future posts, but do try to remember who invented it and give credit every now and again.

There is the open question as to why

VFP

also lied about their association with other players, but I am going to assume for the moment that was a legitimate mistake - I know what I said about eliminating proven liars, but I don't think they would be so fast to walk it back. In contrast, I think

MiniMegabyte

fully expected that "First!" lie to slip under the radar.

So;

VFP

townread,

MiniMegabyte

scumread,b]

everyone else

[/b]null. I think it's pretty clear given that set of reads where my vote should go. I'm going to put my vote where it obviously belongs, and strongly feel that we should make them the elimination for the day. Obviously there is quite a bit of time left before deadline, and I would like to see some more discussion, but I will put my vote on them and see what happens with the rest of the votes. Being the first, I won't be able to hammer, but I want to make it clear that I would be prepared to hammer, and it will take a lot now to convince me to switch my vote.

With all that said: VOTE: T3

Oh no! Pressure!

re:northsidegal's 128
is it because feels like it's one of those "i know the votes were from rvs so i'm going to act like i'm half-joking and see if people actually start taking it seriously, securing an actual wagon on town"?
on one hand i get it, on the other, i don't think that, considering the fact they were both literally page 1 votes without any posting from you, that's something they could pull off. Especially with a self-admitted maf-read playstyle (which isn't something i'm going to dig into, considering it's just an unhelpful kind of paranoia for me).
were you covering all your bases, or did you not think about that?

Farren's vote reasoning *may* give credence to that idea but it still seems sloppy to me, if it

was

maf motivated.

Vote flow trap.

[T3]

i thought you tr flow trap

I do.

[T3]

I'm really awkward as scum in RVS>

Kinda like this game?

Yeah but as in like not joking at all.

[T3]

wow that t3 spam was awful

Kinda scummy too, he's being way more jokey than I remember as town, where he basically wasn't at all

Have people seen T3 play like this btw? When I played with him last I meta read like 4 of his games and I've played with him twice and I've not seen it. I guess since he didn't do it as a wolf before it's not super wolfy but it's making me uncomfortable lmao

My playstyle has changed from "pop in once every 5 pages with an unexplained read" to "hyperhyperpost"

[T3]

Farren isn't giving me any ping either way.

[T3]

VOTE: T3

I think this is mafia.

Why?

[T3]

Meta?

[T3]

I se.

[T3]

I think the thougt was real from Enchant.

[T3]

I think Dannflor's obvservation about scumreading Farren for playstyle is towny.

[T3]

I might be misremembering this but the last game I played with scum!Koba they had lower post density.

[T3]

kobas read on me is consistently one of the worst btw

in case anyone was wondering

Haven't caught up yet, but if I were, I'd be voting for you now.

Oh, that didn't take long.

VOTE: Esooa

I already like townlocked Farren but this kind of like thought flow is a bit more blatant evidence I can show that might help others see what I'm seeing in terms of Farren being town - where Farren is not playing an agenda but rather displaying a "town genuinely solving" mindset where he is genuinely reading the game and processing what is going on in it.

Huh, that makes sense.

[T3]

VOTE: Esooa I'll sheep.

[T3]

If the dancing around me is based on meta then it's NAI.

[T3]

T3 can you give an actual read on me

I don't have a read on you but I think Ich is town -> that implies you are scum.

[T3]

I think Farren has a weird playstyle?

[T3]

I'm wary of the secondary tier T3 scum reads because I feel like if town - he's going to be a slot scum are always going to want to have in their back pocket as a miselim

like the way people are sort of dancing around his slot is feeling... performative? at the very least it makes me think Enchant/T3 are less likely to be aligned - the "meta I can't talk about" is a non-case but also taken seriously enough that it reads genuine. could easily be scum picking a random push on an easy townie but i lean towards that not being an lolrandom bus

I know what Enchant is referring to.

[T3]

dannfloor/nsg

this pairing is interesting

ive been nursing a paranoia nsg read since basically her entrance but i think that paranoia was bound to come up at some point this game so im not really giving it any credence until nsg gets a chance to play more

what exactly pinged you about either of our posts?

to be honest, i'm not sure why i would be a "paranoia" read at all. really, i think that i've been townread far too easily and quickly this game – if anything, i would expect to either be basically null. of course, i don't think that my being townread quickly is necessarily the product of scum, but for you specifically i feel like i have memory of you by default being more hesitant to townread me in the most recent games we've played together. i feel like i'm not really seeing any of that attitude here, or i suppose i'm seeing less of it.

This feels like 5 sentences basically saying the same thing.

[T3]

T3 can you give an actual read on me

I don't have a read on you but I think Ich is town -> that implies you are scum.

I started to write this post with placing a vote on you and explaining something. But you know what? Let's see what you have to say - Why do you think this?

Meta + post density + different vibe. You have a meta read on Esooa.

[T3]

My play this game is way different to the last few games I've played with Enchant so I think his case on me is NAI.

[T3]

never met-a player i couldn't read!

Read me.


Also, i vote not for you to say "uh looks townie", i really expect you to consider T3 as possible mafia.

Honestly, i starting to have doubts, like if T3 IS town, then mafia either having fun with existing candidates and don't need it (which means we dig in wrong way right now and need to redirect attention anyway), or simple fear to join me, because my case is dumb, which i fully acknowledge, don't remind me.

Though, i more expected from T3-Mafia to being accused for a bit even by his teammates, to gain distance points for bussing. And T3 loves bussing, that's how he suicided in our first mafia game... Possible again because we dig in wrong place and they don't want redirect attention on his teammate by worthless bus.

TLDR: Vote T3, i think it will flip maf most likely. Or say why you disagree, don't ignore.

I think I've been much less limbait-y when we played together last.

[T3]

And I've bussed less recently.

[T3]

T3 tried to "bus" in our last game where we rolled scum together, but we ended up losing horribly so it would not surprise me for a scum!t3 to change up their play to not be so wild for a scumgame here.

Because of a lack of push on me this game d1, I've been notably different thus far than my usual towngames, why did you put me at the top?

you have me at the bottom and your read on me is "sheeping Koba"

which is basically outing

Also you put me in your scumteam guess x_x

[T3]

Town!Esooa did a lot of analyzing the specific post/page in happy face and not much blanket reading. That was really the only thing that stood out.

[T3]

This reaction reads to me as genuine?

[T3]

UNVOTE: Esooa

[T3]

Esooa is way townier. I think her linking to MU meta is +town and I think her reaction is genuine.

[T3]

The genuine reaction is mostly gut.

[T3]

This reaction reads to me as genuine?

It reads to me as somewhere between annoyed and angry. Being annoyed and/or angry that one is being scumread for what one thinks are bad reasons isn't alignment indicative. It's natural for Town, but "caught for the wrong reasons" is a thing for scum.

Do you see anything that can differentiate between the two?

Hm yeah that makes sense. My reactiin to terrible pushes on my as either alignment is usually something of a blank stare.

Not really satisfied here, but it's effectively a vanity wagon at this point.

T3: what happened between 547 and 606, with regards to Enchant?

Enchant was only talking about me.

[T3]

What I mean is: you made a confident statement about how to meta-read Enchant first, then said you "weren't totally sure" how to meta them.

Was it Enchant focusing on you that caused that change, or something else? If something else, what?

Oh, I didn't actually look at the posts you mentioned.
There's no play difference as far as I can tell but there usually is a tone difference.

[T3]

That sounds like an answer to the question "What's the meta-difference between scum|Enchant and Town|Enchant?" which isn't what I asked - you already said scum|Enchant was more confident than Town|Enchant. That's simple and understandable.

Something caused

your

confidence in meta-reading Enchant to change, based on those two posts I cited. What was it?

Nothing did.

Why did you want to save farren

Enchant was a slightly higher scumread.e

[T3]

T3: Why didn't you switch back to me when you had the chance?

Wait wtf
I thought I was dying there.

[T3]

Ich's case on Farren is bad but Farren had a bad reaction.

[T3]

Wait wtf
I thought I was dying there.

When did you figure out otherwise?

You/koba's interaction so I looked at the wording of the vc.

[T3]

I meant that when I voted Enchant I thought I would die if I didn't vote.

[T3]

Outside your house

Ichkoba is blatant town here by meta.

Tempted to sheep your Farren read.

Turns out I'll have internet. Ignore this.

[T3]

Koba is extremely obvious meta town... like I get a way different vibe from them than the last games I was scum and their post density is very different to their scumgame.

[T3]

My entire thought process used to be just gut tbh

[T3]

My entire thought process used to be just gut tbh

so... what is it now then?

Reading ever post at surface level and forming my own conclusions.

[T3]

Morning Tweet is town for effort I think. That doesn't totally outweigh the meta case on nsg.

[T3]

HURT: flow trap

[T3]

I've played with t3 before and I didn't struggle to find them in any way at all. They were my town core day 1 both games. They can give reads as town, and I haven't seen that this game

???
I have been giving reads this game.

[T3]

T3, what's your evaluation of the gamestate right now?

No clue.

There may be some funny = town bias. Honestly I haven't really noticed redtea that much.

[T3]

Scum me doesn't heaven Ich over MT because MT is tunneled on me.

[T3]

PoE and also just not even doing much in the way of like... actual content.

So when asked about redtea, your answer is "Idk they haven't done actual content" (which isn't really true)

There may be some funny = town bias. Honestly I haven't really noticed redtea that much.

and when asked about flow the first thing that comes to mind is that he's funny

Like T3 is capable of having reads, he can show at least some thought process but this game it justs sounds like you're making stuff up and havent actually been following along and solving

So uh
Honestly redtea was in my PoE so I kind of made up reasons. Honestly I'm self conscious about how my readlists look as both alignments. I know this sounds scummy af but *shrug*

[T3]

T3, can you go a little in depth on your town lean of me?

Tiny brainme doesn't have any clue how to read you. So I look at your meta and I found that you get scumread by other players as scum.

[T3]

MT I've played one game with you and I was limmed on day 2 32 hours into the game.

Wait wait wait, so you made up reasoning to scumread redtea and upon being called out for it you're now admitting it

You could have just said you don't remember redtea's content but instead you said

PoE and also just not even doing much in the way of like... actual content.

I mean... you're self conscious about how ppl read you to the point where you make up reads? Making up reads is what scum does

Not making up reads, making up or greatly exaggerating reasons.

[T3]

MT I've played one game with you and I was limmed on day 2 32 hours into the game.

Okay but did you make up reads in that mini normal?

I think you only died so fast cause Ydrasse was lolcatting that game

But yes I am aware you have a certain baseline-level scumminess. But I've read your games and i actually haven't scumread you before this one

I didn't really get a chance to read.

[T3]

When making that readlist there were players who I thought wre scum but wasn't sure why based on play so I exaggerated reasons.
There.

[T3]

T3, can you go a little in depth on your town lean of me?

Tiny brainme doesn't have any clue how to read you. So I look at your meta and I found that you get scumread by other players as scum.

what games did you look at t3

I think a mini normal and a large theme.

[T3]

Ig Dann's tone felt off in those games.

[T3]

Ywah I get why you're voting me that sequence sounded scummy.

I'm also a little suspect you actually did this or put that much thought into it because I've historically performed fairly well as scum barring a single large theme game recently

I'll check now but I think the games I looked at were Flavor vs. Hectic or something like that and Mini Normal 2169?

[T3]

Ywah I get why you're voting me that sequence sounded scummy.

if you're town you've gotta slow down and explain to me with a little more detail how you formed your read on me

I don't feel like you're being completely honest right now and I'm struggling to see town motivations for retroactively adjusting your read

So I earlier gutread you as towny. Then I got less sure so I looked at your meta. Your tone felt weird and you generally got scumread. I realized these were both bad reasons so I didn't mention them until asked.

[T3]

Oh it was 2197.

[T3]

i consistently post in giant unmissable blocks there is no excuse except laziness

Lazy is NAI

clearly

Not true. Town!me is usually passive and blurts things out meanwhile scum!me actively engages with discussions. Also, town!me often will skim over walls andnot respond to them.

[T3]

i dunno, we got T3 voting Farren (most likely elimination that might work), giving reads, going back and saying he made up the reasoning rather than not just outright saying he doesnt have reasoning, and some "scum!me doesn't do X" type stuff

I have never seen T3 completely make up reads. Have reads without elaboration, sure, but does town!T3 feel the need to make shit up..? Surely town!T3 doesn't give any fucks right?

And again it's just convenient his scumread happens to be Farren who gamestate-wise *could* be elimed if enough ppl sheeped Ich.

T3's best arguments for being town are that he would've sent me to Heaven if scum (???) and that he's more involved with discussion as scum. Oh and that he's lazy as town but not as scum??

Not true. Town!me is usually passive and blurts things out meanwhile scum!me actively engages with discussions. Also, town!me often will skim over walls andnot respond to them.

Are you using ignoring redtea's posts as proof you're in your town meta?!?! So in other words, if you were scum, you would read their posts but since you're town you just skimmed and forgot about them?

Is that your argument for you being town?

Meh, I don't know.

[T3]

VOTE: T3
I messed up big time and if Farren is town then I'm getting shot and we lose.

[T3]

Out of curiosity, have you self-voted as town in the past T3 after giving up? That's typically something scum does when they give up, since it, ya know, still helps a scum wincon denying wagon info

Yes, Mini Normal 2205. I realized I was playing terribly and would be ELO limbait so I self voted when at E-2. My dying words were to vote scum!Anya but town didn't listen and we lost.
