    Very telling that this will be what ends Kanter's rebrand, on r/nba, from Gülenist shithead to neoconservative shithead. Most users were willing to excuse him hanging around the likes of John Bolton when attacking America's enemies, but going on Tucker and insulting domestic liberals was a red line.

    What's hilarious about his attempt to reframe himself as the convervative Colin Kaepernick is that the NBA has been absurdly accommodating in their treatment of him. Despite repeatedly insulting a face of the league (Lebron), accusing a Taiwanese team owner of being a CPC spy, and slandering the NBA's largest international market; his minutes have only gone up (from zero) and he's faced no real punishment.

    The goods news is he's likely triangulating himself into an audience that doesn't exist. No multinational company is going to want to sponsor him after this, and libs will hate him for doing Tucker. Meanwhile any right-wing support he's gained is entirely because he's an active NBA player who insults Lebron, but after retiring no conservative will want to listen what an irrelevant Turkish Muslim has to say.

      this is why r/nba mods have banned penes kunter posting finally - the userbase have turned on him and we can't have the astroturfing be rejected, now can we?

      it's kind of disappointing actually. the final nail in the coffin was him going on tucker carlson, rather than him trying aggressively to revitalize a false narrative for the past 3 months which has been proven false by most international journalists/researchers.

      pushing false stories and being a useful idiot to our warmongering leaders just like the media has been for the past 30 years is totally okay so long as you don't go on fox. stick to nyt, cnn, and msnbc (all outlets which have covered Kanter positively the past 4 months) and you are totally cool.

      I can't even call these democratic party supporters liberals anymore, historically liberals have had some principles. they're snakes.

    wild how you can see what got astroturfed and what didn't

    If you could search for Kanter and <1000 upvotes, you'd probably find similar comment sections.

    Anus Kantear set the world record for biggest disparity between body size and penis size.

    Me saying this is what American freedom is about.
