Why does Crowder use the 30 year old cassette recorder from Home Alone 2 to play back the phone call? Is that what he used to record it? Is it for comedic effect?
For that matter, why does he have the cassette recorder from Home Alone 2? Did he have it from when he was a child? Did he get one on ebay?
Yes
I guess then the question is why I should treat this as a more serious matter than Crowder himself does? And what's more important to him: the gag, or the principle?
Not that this makes me like DW: they're doing the classic shithead move of pretending to take this personally. Let's just say that if my last name were "Shapiro" it's something I would try to avoid doing for fear of living up to the stereotypes.
Because he is speaking to his 'followers' not free thinkers. Sadly the majority of people are sheep. The difference is, are they 'my' sheep, or 'your' sheep.
With the use of that talkboy he proved why he is the superior content creator.
I don't like any of the 'conservative' grifters, but I recognize that they are the frontline in the bozo war with the mentally inane. This business based undercutting simply puts paid to their talk of 'ideology', especially when said ideology is contingent on towing the tech bruh line.
I could care less if they were trying to personally fuck Crowder with a shit deal. But they made it clear this is how they treat everyone. It's their standard behavior. It's controlled opposition.
It's possible to speak to one's fans and followers about a matter without it becoming a comedy routine. The way he's playing it makes this all appear to be a Work. Only question is whether or not the other side is in on it.
It's called a prop...
Why is he using props when discussing serious matters of principle? Is his plan to do the old "Jon Stewart Shuffle", where he conflates comedy and the discussion of serious matters so as to be able to deflect criticism from both sides?
Critic: "Why is he using props when discussing such serious matters?"
Respondent: "It's a prop! It's for comedic effect!"
Critic: "Then perhaps these DW folks have a point when they say Crowder is simply using them for a comedy act"
Respondent: "No, these are serious issues within Conservative media that Crowder is bringing to light!"
...good lord, you must have the deepest frown lines.
