Steven Crowder is a garbage human and doesn't deserve a meme template

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow... I didn't know who the guy was.

From Wikipedia:

Early in his career, Crowder worked for Fox News and posted satirical videos on conservative media platforms. He then began hosting Louder with Crowder, a daily political podcast and YouTube channel with commentary and comedic content. It includes a recurring segment called "Change My Mind", in which Crowder invites passers-by to converse. In December 2012, Crowder and members of Americans for Prosperity were involved in an altercation at a demonstration in Michigan concerning the state's recently passed right-to-work law.[3]

Crowder's YouTube channel has been demonetized twice, first in 2019 after repeated use of racist and homophobic slurs.[4][5][6][7] His channel was re-monetized after YouTube said Crowder addressed his behavior and content,[8] and it was demonetized again in March 2021, with uploads suspended for a week, after violating YouTube's presidential election integrity policy against advancing false claims about the election's integrity.[9] YouTube suspended the channel again for two weeks in October 2022 for violating its harassment, threats and cyberbullying policy.[10] The channel had 5.86 million subscribers as of May 2023.[11] Crowder moved his show to Rumble in March 2023.[12]

You're absolutely right. He doesn't deserve a meme template.

To be fair, Wikipedia doesn't give him justice. He is far worse. Either he is an utter foul or he is a full blown Nazi. I am not saying "oh i disagree with him, so Nazi" I am saying "he supports white supremacists, 'race realists', ethno nationalists, by giving them a uncritical platform and by giving people a uncritical platform who give those people a uncritical platform"

If you want see how Steven Crowder does his politics and a good case towards why I think that way, https://youtu.be/cXZ6BZzQeCQ Steven Crowder wanted to know what a white supremacists is and claimed to feel like people are calling him one unfairly and a guy decided to walk everyone to the thought process of how and why people think what they think.
