Joey Mannarino: Portrait of a Tankie Vatnik
He literally has no life outside of rage posting for Trump and Putin
If you’re relatively new to the issues related to Kremlin propaganda and how it’s affecting other countries (including the United States), I recommend reading some background posts I wrote that explains things in more detail along with links to other sites where you can read more to educate yourself.
Jackson Hinkle, the Gen-Z Lord Haw-Haw, isn't the only young adult who spends his days rage posting on Twitter/X in the hopes of earning money without having to get an actual job. There's another man who also rage posts as well. Like Jackson Hinkle, the only reason why I have heard of him even though I don't follow him is because I see this guy's crazy posts fall into my newsfeed thanks to Elon Musk insisting that more people need to be exposed to right-wing views under the guise of “being exposed to more viewpoints.”
This guy's name is Joey Mannarino. According to this page he was born in 1993 (which would make him around 31 as of this writing) and he started out as a singer. In 2010 he started his own YouTube channel. He ends his page with this quote:
Entertaining people and uplifting their spirits fills me with such a joy that one cannot understand. I love people, always have, and always will. One Love.
He even released some music that you can listen to on Spotify and Apple Music.
He wrote a brief bio in this Instagram post featuring him and Trump where he mentioned that he was a radio personality when his life changed in 2015 after he saw Donald Trump make his fateful trip down the escalator to announce his run for president.
Apparently his music and radio career didn't lead to fame and fortune but he saw the light when Donald Trump got into politics. So he decided to just trade “entertaining people and uplifting their spirits” for making people become totally enraged by becoming this right-wing fool who does nothing other than posting on Twitter/X many times a day. What's more, he's proud of his prolific postings while bragging that he never stops tweeting.
He has frequently posted about the threat of immigrants in the United States because they bring disease and crime to the country.
He claims that illegal immigrants have been voting in large numbers.
He claims that Italian OnlyFans models are using migrants (who happen to have dark skin) to promote their pages while fretting about what would his deceased Italian grandparents would've thought about this.
His irrational hatred of immigrants has resulted in this tweet that begins with a sweet story about how he's teaching his dog how to swim in the ocean then he suddenly changes the subject in the middle of that tweet to the unrelated topic of raping and murdering immigrants. This definitely has a WTF quality to it.
He hates transgender people to the point where he'll stop watching a certain show if there is a transgender actor or character.
He is a big fan of Donald Trump and his Make America Great Again movement. In fact, he seems to absolutely adore Donald Trump.
He can't stand Kamala Harris or any other Democrats. In fact he's already accusing them of rigging an election that won't take for another three months.
He is also a big fan of authoritarian dictators like Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orbán while siding with Russia in its ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
He also keeps a bunch of other accounts in addition to his own Joey Mannarino account so he can make tons of posts pretending to be other people.
He demonstrates the downside of having and managing too many alter ego accounts with this tweet where he pretends to be an African American woman and Trump supporter that he posted under his main Joey Mannarino account with his profile picture that shows a white man.
It's obvious that he didn't check which account he was logged into before he made that hilarious post.
Like Jackson Hinkle, Joey Mannarino is also heavily promoted on Twitter/X and he's doing rage postings in an effort to make money. He's hoping that you will get so angry that you will get into an online fight with him so he'll make money. Here are a few tips on how to deal with Joey Mannarino:
Avoid sharing his tweets as much as possible. Sharing his tweets gives him greater exposure, which means a greater share of the ad revenue.
If you must share something he tweeted for any reason, do not hit the Retweet button. That tweet will give him greater exposure, which means he gets a greater chunk of ad revenue if you do that. Instead take a screenshot of his tweet, write your own separate tweet, and attach that screenshot to your message.
On a related issue, if you have a blog or website and need to quote any of Mannarino’s tweets, don’t provide a direct link to any of his tweets. Instead take a screenshot and post it directly in your blog or website (just like I did throughout this Substack post).
Don’t respond to any of his tweets in any way. Don’t hit that heart-shaped Like button. Don’t write a response message to his tweet, no matter how infuriating his message is to you. He thrives on attention, both positive and negative. The more attention he gets, the greater the ad revenue share he will get.
If you are offended by how Joey Mannarino is trying to become rich and famous or if you’re simply tired of seeing his tweets all of the time, the only thing you can do at this point is to mute and block Mannarino on Twitter/X. In fact I highly recommend doing this to save your own sanity.
Don’t bother with reporting any of his tweets or his entire account. Elon Musk has laid off most of the staff since he took over Twitter. Musk has been heavily promoting Mannarino's account so it’s a waste of time reporting him because nothing will get done unless Twitter/X gets a new owner.
The only silver lining is that, like Jackson Hinkle, Joey Mannarino has ruined his own future. He has pretty much insulted and alienated nearly everyone online except for right-wing white men like himself. All it would take is for a potential future employer to take one look at his online garbage and his job application will get rejected.
I guess he could resume his singing career except for the fact that other performers like Ted Nugent, Kid Rock, and Kanye West have had their once-prosperous music careers get seriously curtailed when they started spouting far-right views. Mannarino had never achieved the same level of fame that the other mentioned performers have so his singing career would be dead on arrival at this point.
