Taeke posted:Is grifting really that easy, at least in the US? Like just learn some of the jargon, you don't even really have to understand it, find a new angle or niche (optional) and start yelling stupid (right wing) poo poo loudly and consistently enough and you'll get followers who provide you with an income soon enough? there's a hundred nobody wannabes for every successful grifter, if you look at all the actual names in the game like Shapiro they either started with a platform as previously stated or were astroturfed by wealthy social connections; there's no simple formula, much like breaking out in show business there's a tremendous element of simple luck and being in the right place at the right time being a sociopath is no guarantee of success, there are plenty of loser failure sociopaths, it's merely one ingredient

The fact that there are an effectively infinite amount of bright-eyed strivers trying to become the next Ben Shapiro or Ann Coulter means that every single person can be replaced, so if you slip up or anger the wrong person or are generally embarassing, you're basically kicked off the gravy train with no way back on, as people like Laura Loomer and Kent State Gun Girl and Baked Alaska have discovered.

And of course all these people recognise that they're competition and so keep up fake smiles while trying to knife each other at the first opportunity. Same thing with liberal grifters, it's Mean Girls games all the way down.

pls dont post pics of ben shapiros sister in cspamikanreed posted:Lol imagine if Jordan Petergriffin having this double existential crisis caused him to rethink his life as a right wing grifter. his life as a right wing grifter is why he's able to afford to live in rehab and be showered with attention whenever he wants, without it he'd just be a loser addict falling apart in a lovely little house

Paladinus posted:Was it Aisling Bea? Because that was probably a joke. People are aware of the old meaning, much like people know queer also means strange, and gay means joyful, but they don't normally use it that way anymore. It was not her but I can imagine she was probably going for a similar joke then
