Is it really difficult to do more for the right than Ben Shapiro supposedly does?Fuck, Trump did more for the right and did so coming out of absolutely nowhere than Shapiro has done, a guy who Shapiro swore up and down would be the end of the party.
What pisses me off the from all this is Crowder's supposed moral posturing. In particular how he's just standing up for other "talent" (his lingo not mine) out there. What other "talent" is he even referring to? Seriously. Exactly how many names can you think of right now that not only draws in fairly big numbers, but also doesn't rock the boat too much that groups like the Daily Wire or the Blaze would want to partner with? I pretty much can't think of any person out there that fits that description. And even if there was such people, there is no guarantee they would sign up with these groups. So as far as I'm concered, Crowder isn't looking out for anyone in particular, and from what I hear, he isn't much of a better business partner than Ben is.Yeah, Ben pisses me off, or has traditionally pissed me off with a lot of his takes, but at least he literally did sue to prevent vaccine mandates for his staff. That’s an actual action, at least.
But the part I’m stuck on is how Crowder makes the claim that DW is somehow affecting things as a net negative when it literally does not have the power to gatekeep. All DW has is Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, Jordan Peterson and some new guy I haven’t heard of.
Ben, Jordan, and Candace were all known on their own prior to the Daily Wire either existing or having anything to do with them. I admit to only having heard of Walsh and Knowles afterwards, but between them “what is a woman” is the only thing I can remember being significant between either of them. So DW is just trying to exist as a company and build out the capacity to make movies or something, right?
Crowder is Crowder, and there’s nothing he really stood to gain. Of course he could make more money from his own followers than he could expect DW to pay him for making the money off his followers for him. DW was never an obstacle to anything Crowder wanted to do and it’s weird to pretend they were
Everything about this squabble comes across as petty beef these people have with one another, but Crowder wants to frame this as some kind of greater struggle. No bud, this just sounds like your personal problem, one that you didn't need to make public.
