The Howlers Den: Mark Asofsky

There's a gentleman in Delray Beach, Florida, who wants the world to believe that he's a do-gooder. He does indeed, give to and administer charities and tries to influence young people. He influences them unfortunately towards his warped vision of what he believes people should be like. https://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/corporationsearch/SearchResultDetail?inquirytype=EntityName&directionType=ForwardList&searchNameOrder=ASOFSKYFAMILYFOUNDATION%20N070000112910&aggregateId=domnp-n07000011291-59181e8d-99ac-4081-b805-66a7018b3bb5&searchTerm=ASOLARE%2C%20LLC&listNameOrder=ASOENTERTAINMENT%20L230002741230

All of this looks wonderful, but Mr Asofsky and his Foundation's goals are made questionable by his dubious online behavior. Mark Asofsky has an X.com account where he harangues and harasses people he disagrees with. Here is the link to his account which should be read thoroughly. https://x.com/FLMarka Among his account followers are admitted white supremacists, January 6 insurrectionists, Michael Flynn supporters, anti-immigrant zealots and Sidney Powell followers. Along with venomous anti-gay activity. Much of the rabid hatred is perpetrated by Asofsky himself. He tries very hard to sound reasonable but as one person involved in verbal confrontations with him stated, his postings are extremely passive aggressive in nature. He utilizes tropes meant to be offensive to humiliate others and demeans other people's intellect constantly.

Is this the behavior of someone who truly wants to help his community? Or is it a malign personality that hides behind philanthropic ventures utilizing society's good will to perpetrate a devious agenda? I believe it is the latter. Asofsky appears in my view to be attempting to guide young people towards a White Christian Nationalist belief system. He uses monetary incentives to encourage and prod the recipients of his "generosity" towards that goal. In similar fashion to Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA with it's ludicrous "trad wife forums".

The criticism of public collegiate education by the far right of the Republican Party is persistent and insidious. Any type of belief in diversity, upholding women's rights, gay rights or teaching accurate historical perspectives is stridently challenged. Asofsky guiding young people into Leaders4Life accomplishes two goals. First to challenge inclusive teachings on college campuses and push administrators towards less diverse curriculum. Secondly it is to mold the young participants to his "generosity " into becoming as bigoted as Mr. Asofsky is. Then towards becoming community leaders who will promote those false perspectives.

Mark Asofsky is extremely self aggrandizing which is a natural aspect of his perverse belief system. White Christian Nationalists firmly believe in their Deity given superiority. That they were created the "Chosen Ones". Everyone else is inferior and only they know "God's Will". They alone speak and act for him. From the White Christian Nationalist fallacious viewpoint they're "persecuted" by everyone else due to their "righteousness". Studying Asofsky's X.com account causes one to strongly suspect that is Mark Asofsky's fever dream. He accuses people of racism and is firmly attempting to push the recipient of his venom towards the narrative that they despise White people. Thus he validates his own persecution complex, prejudice and bigotry. He uses vulnerable young people who need financial assistance to add numbers of people to his "cause". Even those he despises for their race and ethnicity. He obviously believes as Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) that minorities who believe and act in a particular fashion are "welcome". https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/10/lindsey-graham-black-people-anywhere-south-carolina-conservative.html

This situation definitely requires the attention of the wider Putnam County and State Of Florida's attention. The Putnam County School District in particular needs to ensure that vulnerable young people are not coerced into a belief system that is counter productive to their personal growth as individuals and members of society.

The false image Mr. Asofsky displays in his "philanthropic endeavors" is immensely deceptive and he must be exposed for his actions malignancy. The "kind" face he presents to the world hides a heart full of spitefulness. A truly generous soul gives altruistically and desires nothing in return for their efforts. Mark Asofsky is incapable of such unconditional empowerment of his fellow human beings and his soul comprehends no shame. He should not be allowed to continue in this manner by state, county, or district officials. To do so does a great disservice to young people whose life choices should not be manipulated. They should be lifted up to the heights of happiness, lifelong achievement and fulfillment.
