Nah, you actually described it and shit. You added to it. Good job
Allow me to describe it more. I am now 11 minutes into the video which is the part where ACE plays the full clip of Dev's hypocrisy, dead air and all... Especially the dead air.
Ok the main hypocrisy of Dev's behaviour is banning a man formerly on good terms with him trying to bring up evidence, through a method which specifically forces you to cough up money to even have the privilege to talk to the guy. Only to then proselytise his position on free speech and how to "make a stand" politically.
Are you ready? Here we go!
Thanks for the free ten bucks buddy but I am banning you here too!
Firstly, shutting off a communication method with a former associate that uses payment, only to keep the payment and not refund the person whom you just removed the rights to send money is grifting personified. You aren't beating the Jew allegations.
Secondly, notice how Dev said he was "banning [ACE] here too"? This implies ACE has been banned before for similar dissent in private. This goes directly against Dev's perceived image of a "principled free-speech liberal".
Normally this one line is enough to prove he is a grifter and a liar. But I am feeling particular sadistic AND masochistic today (Dev truly is insufferable.) so let's continue!
[From a Superchat] "Based! All ideas entertained is so rare nowadays it seems! So sad." That's how I feel about it man.
You just refused to entertain the idea that you could be wrong about Trump. Note that the two donations for Dev are of smaller sums but do not disagree with him and so he reads them out and engages directly with the comments. Veeeery free speech here.
If the right wing is correct on an issue you should be right wing. If the left wing is correct on an issue you should be left wing. Simple as that.
Funny, Dev. You are like Norm Macdonald, except your jokes don't actually land, you have an insufferable voice, and you are unnecessarily smug.
...
You aren't Norm Macdonald. The only meta joke you successfully pulled is with your cognitive dissonance you Canigger retard.
You should go where the evidence goes, and not care so much about whether it's good for your side.
Funny how all this advice applies to you, Dev? Go where the evidence goes. Read the room. Trump has inspired a lot of confidence in him after that excuse of a debate. 67% voted for him on CNN. CNN! That's your source Dev. Pay attention for crying out loud, you're missing the forest for the trees.
This is enough to prove he's a grifter, but what if I told you he's got Mussolini's blood in him? The next line may prove he has some dictator-like qualities.
There are some guys in the chat, Neo-Reagan's like this, definitely that Brent-lol whatever guy, that lol-arker guy that's in my chat? These guys are like "no, truth does not matter, we live in a post-truth world. whatever is good for my team is what we stand by" and it's like no, fuck you. You should be able to entertain everything.
This is a way for Dev to pretend like he has any sort of credibility as a liberal who prioritises free-speech. Here he brings up two random chatters who he hasn't banned. The logic is that ACE's, and many others' claims that Dev argues in bad faith will be le BTFO by the existence of unbanned dissidents in Dev's chat.
The logic then falls apart immediately when you realise he harbors the "RWNJ" chatters as Controlled Opposition and as Laughingstocks for his generally liberal audience. This relationship between Dev and those frothing retards is a symbiotic one, on both lanes. They both feed on each other's attention, and Dev feeds off of their views and Superchats. That is to say, Dev isn't threatened by their existence because he believes he can run rings around these nutjobs, conspiracy theorists et al intellectually and in debate.
Dev is truly threatened by ACE because of a few reasons. One, they share a similar base of knowledge and come from a similar sphere of the Old School Skeptics and Libertarian YouTubers watching the Alt-Right shitshow and reacting to it at its peak. Two, ACE is a different kind of dissident that Dev cannot control, because he has evidence, can hold his own in an intellectual discussion and can call Dev's bluff. Last but not least, they used to know each other and Dev used to respect ACE before ACE held the perceived "wrong" opinions.
I think now we have dug up the reasons Dev would ban a dissident. He banned ACE from many modes of communication because (according to my armchair analysis) he is afraid of facing someone who can overshadow him intellectually and reveal his dishonesty. But more than that, he is afraid of someone he sees as close doing that to him and usurping what he has built.
He is someone who has talents but isn't talented, and yearns for prestige he can't earn honestly. So he lies and grifts to build it up, all the while growing scared, jealous and resentful of the creators around him who, may be more wrong, or more crazy than he is, but at the end of the day are more honest that he could ever be with others, and himself.
This isn't even quoting the entirety of the Weekly Sip clip but I think I have constructed enough of a schizoid essay on Dev with... 5 quotes. Jeez, I am sadistic. And masochistic. Hope you enjoyed reading.
