Yes. You did just see CENK. FUCKING. UGYIUR be objectively right. You just saw someone so low he'd give THE YOUNG TURKS good ammo to use against the right wing. This is why I say Crowder is better as an enemy than he is as an ally. He poisons his own side by spewing self agrandizing bullshit without thinking about the repercussions to his cause once it backfires. And to be honest this one hits close to home for me because I know people like this. As I explained on other threads, I was a fucking commie back in the day, I went to a lot of protests during Rajoi's catastrophic tenure as a president and I've had to deal with Antifa back then. And when I see the bullshit Crowder's pushing. I see Antifa. It's the same shit, they go in, provoking everyone, trying to cause a scuffle so they can plaster it online for grift points, then when they can't get any good footage like the little kids they are they go ahead and start the fight themselves, then because they can't fucking take a hit they run behind the first meatshield they can find. I've been that fucking meatshield in the past, because my student union was in charge of supplies and "healthcare" (read, dragging idiots who got heatstrokes into the shadow and giving them water bottles and look after a medkit that pretty much never got used. Seriously people please carry water with you if you're gonna be outside for long periods of time. Fuck even Trajan died due to a heatstroke, if the OPTIMUM PRINCEPS couldn't take it what makes you think you can?! And no I can't even blame it on leftie stupidity 'cause many right wingers joined our protests back then and sure as shit they forget the water too, we even made jokes about that many days.) and you can bet your ass if Antifa knows you can't leave the post unattended and hitting you would look bad on your enemy they're gonna be running straight to you in hopes you take the brunt of the agression they caused. Fuck they'll push you in if need be. Wish back then I had the wisdom to batter those sick fucks myself when they came running. But then again had I been wiser I wouldn't have been a commie to begin with now would I.
This is the character of the man you're trusting. A petty, occasionally violent megalomaniac that has absolutely no qualms making you and your beliefs look like bullshit if it gets him his time in the spotlight, someone so low even genocyde denying scumbags can use him as an avenue of attack against your side, and anyone with any grasp of the facts is bound to find multiple wrong statements in most of his articles. Crowder is the kinda guy you're better off actively distancing from if you happen to fall in the same camp, 'cause he'll inevitably make you look like lunatics sooner or later. This is why I said I'd rather have him as an enemy. Do note how I openly admitted potholer's falibility right from the start. This is relatively normal for most people, you can't just get everything right, we all have weak spots. And I'm all too used to having people abuse said weakspots to attack other issues to which they are irrelevant. But point is, some people ARE weakspots, those who simply refuse to actually learn and arrogantly and dishonestly bend the facts in order to gain petty wins in the short term. When neutral people see your sources act this way they become convinced your side can't be trusted. They hurt more than an enemy ever could. And this is what I hoped to illustrate here, first with a long and serious debate handled by good sources, showcasing how when under pressure Crowder simply cannot compare to a proper fact-checking autist, and then with an event so fucking pathetic it got the entire media circus you're seeing on this very thread get everything wrong to get a proper win against the right wing because Crowder seriously fell that low when he couldn't get a rise out of the left. He simply cannot be trusted to avoid giving your enemies more ammo, it is that simple.
