the "continues" is the key part, she's had several more deeply right-wing takes since the primary
I was never a fan, but I remember back in 2016 she was pretty popular with the online left.
She had some takes that sounded anti-imperialist on their face, I'll grant her that. But looking deeper it was always apparent that her complaint was just about the involvement of ground troops. She loves her some aerial bombing campaigns, that one.
Now that she's been revealed to be pro-Modi and a friend to Hindu nationalists, my theory is that her opposition to certain aspects of American foreign policy was only because they required us to cooperate with Pakistan and treat them favorably.
Yeah, literally she says she's a war hawk but she doesn't like American soldiers dying. That's definitely left-wing and not right-wing nationalism at all.
Obligated to remind everyone of the time Crowder antagonized a bunch of protestors and got decked in the face
And also how he was the voice of The Brain on PBS' Arthur for a time
yeah that deleted scene where the brain says a racial slur while playing pubg never made it to air
One of the worst things about being a chud is that none of the good musicians share your political views. You're forced to listen to Trapt and whomever the fuck is 3 Doors Down. Imagine having to hate Bruce fucking Springsteen. What a miserable existence that must be.
No man you don't get it! These bands used to be SO GOOD before they started virtue signalling all over the place and forced politics into their music. Remember old Rage Against the Machine?? I just want stuff like that back

:sicko-wistful:
Lmao my Chud step dad was just whining about Bruce Springsteen’s politics to me a couple hours ago
imagine the only rapper you listen to is Tom Mcdonald lmfao
I'm pretty sure they had more than one hit but "Superman" is all that comes to mind so maybe not
played at trump’s inauguration.
This is what I had forgotten, lol oh well no big loss there.
It's called "If I Go Crazy Would You" and it's by the Three Dimple Pilots
(Good catch.)
When I first read your comment I was like "That can't be right, can it?" but the Superman part was the only line I remembered so I had to look it up lol
I kinda liked them, but having a good reason to write off my ex's favorite band is A-Ok with me.
Tulsi was never good, it was painfully obvious at every step of her campaign that she was not good, and yet there were leftists who continued to cape for her.
Your standards have to be higher than "intervention bad" and "regime change war bad", people.
There were, but tbf I got the impression it was mostly stupidpol "leftists" or people that had an unhealthy level of hatred for Hillary that supported her. The old sub was pretty solidly anti-Tulsi IIRC.
on the presidential debate stage, standards are typically rock bottom
Oh her dunking on Kamala was amazing, we can give credit where it's due. Bad people can do good things once in a while.
I wonder what's crowder's opinion on trans men in sports :thinkin-lenin: :thinkin-lenin: :thinkin-lenin: he must have a consistent opinion right????????
Dude I'll never forget when some random CTH user hounded me for like 4 days straight when I simply said how problematic it was Tulsi had support from the BJP and spoke fondly of Modi. It was absurd, it was like how nutty the KHive people get, only they were calling me an imperialist because I didn't buy into her America-first brand of so called "anti-imperialism" (where we drone strike more and less boots on the ground.)
It was the only CTH i actually had to block because of how bad faith they were. I don't mind shitty opinions when they come from a ignorant or misinformed place. We had a lot of liberals on that sub since it was so big, and it wasn't productive to write off every single one of them (as easy as that could be.) But when you start slinging some bullshit like that and refusing to acknowledge your favorite politicians flaws, AND THEN harass someone over it for a few days? get fucked
I got into an argument with someone there about her that called me a brocialist and said i just didn’t want poc to win lol
could have been the same person. i checked their post history before the block and tulsi was basically all they ever talked about

care for a debate? I think the emphasis put on equality/egalitarianism is holding marxism back.
idk if you're serious but no i don't want to debate. i've done enough internet arguments for a lifetime and that topic doesn't even sound interesting.
im kidding. internet debates are a waste of time. even real life debates between smart people are a waste of time.
Just waiting till she eventually switches parties with some cringe “why I left the left” video.
I’d love to hang out with Steven Crowder! I heard he really likes figs and isn’t a homophobe! That’s just what I read!
Gabbard is actually going to do the heckin nazbol everyone was talking about Trump doing.
Bruce Springsteen is a goddam national treasure. i've thought so ever since that 2012 dafoe flick The Hunter, which is the jam if you haven't seen it.
The flag-sucking jeep commercial was pretty debased though.
do you mean this in the normal way people use the word "debased" or do you mean this in the terminally online "the opposite of based" way
both work and mean almost the same thing, just curious
I was playing off the ambiguity but leaning towards the dictionary definition.
As with others, he and his music have been a symbol of "patriotism" to people whom he has written music explicitly critical of.
Love to hear Born in the USA or Woody Guthrie used to promote war crimes.
