Not sure if you are kidding or something but Crowder and his views are extremely popular and pretty mainstream and uncontroversial as far as right wing personalities go.
His socialblade stats dwarf shapiro and dailywire combined, and he doesn't go the super conspiracy/militant defense route like jones or gavin.
He is most popular for his series promoting unedited civil conversations and debates on campuses.

Regressive leftists will go after dissenting voices whenever and however they can.
We have already seen violent protests at shapiro events.
we've also seen a prominent leftist discussing banning and deranking shapiro and others and discussing it with the youtube CEO.

also, LOL @ this


I'm not joking at all. us moderates don't like ambush style gotcha videos. I enjoy shapiro, but it's sure as shit not for his dEsTrUcTiOn videos of college plebs who are just 18 year old NPCs.

I don't disagree with Crowders views, but his programming is just a combination of editting 12 hours of campus interactions down to 30 min segments and circle jerks in his studio. i can see why it's entertaining from a right winger perspective, but its nothing centrists are going to go to bat for. Crowder is fringe. Fringe isn't just beliefs. and buzzwords like "mainstream" dont mean much, Alex Jones had millions of views for each show on Youtube and Facebook. He's a near-household name, which is as "mainstream" as you can get in some senses. but when i say fringe i dont just mean in beliefs, i mean also in support (in this context support = willingness to fight if they get censored).

I'm a principled person, but I'm also honest. I don't support censorship for even those i wholeheartedly disagree with, but i'm also not going to die on a cross for someone i wholeheartedly disagree with, either.

TIL people think Crowder is fringe, lol.

honkhonk.


fringe can mean a lot of things in a lot of contexts. in this one fringe simple = moderates wont fight for them.

shapiro, not fringe Jones, fringe. Crowder, fringe. Joe rogan, not fringe.

i suppose fringe wasnt the best word, but oh well here we are.

Crowders attempts at taking down other informative videos is on par with prageru lunacy and his own youtube comments section regularly calls him out on it. What is watchable is the dialogue he has on campus with other folks.

i wish i could find the other compass close to this where there is a sliver in the top-left quadrant for allowable disagreement, but this one will have to do.

Crowder's status as being fringe or not is central to your point.

There is a difference between an alex jones fringe and 'moderate' lefties not going to bat to protect the speech of anyone right of center.

I realize there's a difference, as should anyone who read my post where I said as much.

moderate lefties? anyone right of center? wat?

i just made a simple point that, so far, the leftists have been smart to go after targets moderates wont put up a stink over, is all. wasn't supposed to lead down a semantics buzzword rabbit hole.

Conservative SJWs are hilarious. I'll click the Christian Living Section then I'll click the Church section. I supposed this is Political and Religious Discussion, but this is typically Christian Fellowship type stuff.

Article literally complains about having a free market being influenced by consumers and at-will employment lol.

While I agree with you about their hypocrisy, their description of what I could call the "repressive left" is still spot on.
