Was watching :live-tucker-reaction: in the gym (They're enlightened centrists who play both chud and lib news on the tvs) and he's constantly doing this clearly fake-ass laughing and smiling to show how "above it all" he is, when everyone knows he's a pretty humorless prick irl.
It's the same reason chud Youtubers will almost always have themselves in the thumbnail laughing or with glowing red eyes or some shit: Because to them, caring about something enough to be "mad" or "upset" about it is the ultimate show of weakness. So to desperately convince everyone how not-mad they are, they overcompensate by forcing laughs and smiles when it's fairly obvious that's not how they're actually feeling.
I would honestly respect these guys more if they just went full :frothingfash: 24/7 instead of the transparent disingenuous smugness.
Are they? I thought that was more of a Joe Rogan / Andrew Tate / Man-o-sphere thing. Shapiro and whatisface are just clearing houses for whatever conservatives think is trending. They'd be much happier wearing starched white shirts and bow-ties.
i mean I don't think so, but i get the vibe a large part of the general population sees "the right," as a monolith, as more masculine and dominant. sure, shapiro looks like a nerd but the basis of his ideology is rooted in shit like dominance hierarchies and rugged individualism. i concede that crowder is a better example of "masculinity" than shapiro though.
Anyone who looks at Ben Shapiro or Jordan Peterson and thinks "Peak of Masculinity" is self-parody.
Even Crowder is just a Washington General for Leftists to dunk on. They're adult babies.
definitely don't disagree
