Crowder is 100% right. Daily Wire is marketing itself as a conservative voice in the culture war but it's clear that their priority is money, thus misrepresenting themselves. They simply exist to squeeze out as much value from their creators and fanbase as they can. With the country burning down around us, that value is going to become worthless anyway.
Conservatives are doomed to lose the culture war. There are too many snakes and grifters within the movement that dilute the message. The left is unified and simply don't care about profits. They pump out trash after trash movie, tv show, book, comic, etcetera, even though it loses money, precisely to fight the culture war. They take massive losses financially but it's one of the reasons conservatives will never win the culture war. Conservative entities are too concerned about their own bottom line and don't fight as hard.
For the reasons he points out in his videos, Steven Crowder is absolutely correct that the business model the Daily Wire adopts, hurts us in the culture war. If the US is a burning building, then the Daily Wire is the person that saves their china cabinet instead of the other people living there.
The reasons why conservatives lose has nothing to do with any of this. Conservatives and other good people on the Right lose because the other side is evil and the people they exploit are willing accomplices and supporters of evil. When your culture is corrupt and the people who make up your society are corrupt, then the corrupt leaders will win. No amount of money, influence or political power can change the hearts of a fallen and corrupt people. It’s inevitable that conservatives would lose when a majority of people who live in a country are without morals or integrity.
I never said it was THE reason conservatives lose, I said it's ONE OF the reasons they lose, but it is significant. The left is very good about being unified, the right is not. And one reason, among several, that the right cannot unify is because grifters like the Daily Wire within the movement.
Steven Crowder is a rebel, a crusader and a big fighter against Big Tech. Yet he's never been permanently banned off of any Big Tech platform in the world. Not YouTube, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. He's starting to look like the Ray Epps of Conservative voices.
Sorry, but the unity on the Left is an illusion. The only thing they have in common is their hatred and desire to subvert what is good, but they have no problem destroying one another in the process, and they often do.
The lack of unity on the Right is just as much because of people like yourself who accuse the Daily Wire of being grifters (they aren’t) as it is due to actual grifters taking advantage of the climate of desperation on the Right.
Regardless, even if the Right was in perfect unity (no such thing), it would not be enough to turn the tide. There simply aren’t enough people who care. The problem is a moral one, not a financial or political one.
