Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

The last thing Crowder did before fading into irrelevance and obscurity was publically turn down a $50M contract.

Pure cinema.

That, and verbally abuse his pregnant wife.

Couldn't happen to a bigger chud.

I believe that in the man-o-sphere, that's considered showing restraint.

I want to hear more about that. Why'd he turn it down?

[–] Krono@lemmy.today 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My best guess is that he thought it was a strong negotiation tactic, and the Daily Wire would come back with an even bigger offer.

That, or he was simply delusional about just how much money he can continue to make independently by selling mugs and fascism.

Ironically, had he accepted it... well, the Daily Wire would probably be going into the financial shitter even harder and faster than it currently is.

I guess uh, critical support for managing to not become a Russian Intelligence asset, a la Tim Pool, the one who's gay and public about it (Dave Rubin), and the one who's gay and apparently going to sue Milo Yiannopolis to prove he isn't gay (Benny Johnson)...?

Good... job... Steve... on at least not doing one really bad, dumb, stupid thing?

... I wonder if Milo will call out Crowder for being in the closet soon too...
