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.
He runs the whole gamut to be fair
One minute playing the Libertarian Debate Nerd, next minute screaming about white birthrates
The only actual right wing value is domination, and if you're mad then you're not dominating, and the only imaginable reason to not be dominating is if you're getting dominated instead and are therefore not fit to be among the worthy. Forced smugness is how they reassure each other and themselves that they're not in the process of becoming corncobs.
yeah it's hilarious to watch :expert-shapiro: or :crowder-nightmare: get on youtube to bitch about some disney movie or whatever. it's blatantly pathetic and i don't understand how these are the people that are pulling off the masculine macho grift thing because it's like literally mask deep like you said.

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.
Just a reminder that ultimately they're more afraid of us than we're afraid of them. Yes, we're afraid that they might kill us; but meanwhile they're afraid that we will destroy their lifestyle, family, culture, and history.
(which we will) :lenin-sure: :pit::porky-scared-flipped: :stalin-gun-1::stalin-gun-2:

Ah yes, the exceedingly narrow overton window of American politics.
Turns on CGTN, resting my feet up on the coffee table
I'm reminded of the fake laughs and "kindly expressions" coming from the right wing street gangs in the northwest during trump era (and after) protests. They come out as pro / counter protestors depending on the event. They come ready to fight but the banter that happens they act very smug and superior and well informed. But actually its typical, tired, predictable rhetoric trying to rile, taunt, and misdirect their opposition or just pass the time until they start clubbing and macing people. I wouldn't call it "crying wokack" because those people seem to enjoy street brawling and the spectacle of it all. The fake smugness is them trying to mask nervousness and excitement they feel.
all liberal media is this too but they think being the crying wojack is a good thing
liberal media is based on Cope while conservative media is based on Seethe
Has anyone made one but it's the crying wojack wearing a crying wojack mask?
Of course they are. They're getting bent out of shape about Dr. Seuss books and Potato Head or whatever. Literal children's shit talked about on every chud platform for weeks on end. Then they switch to another topic where some bourgeoisie home owners bulldoze an unhoused camp and they look at the camera and go "Oh ArE yOu TrIgGeReD?"
