I'm extremely fortunate that I had enough anti-fascist education as a part of my regular curriculum that the manosphere never took me in, even during my lowest points of loneliness and self-loathing.

Unlearning ironic racism, though? That poo poo took a while, and even longer for me to realize that 4chan's racism had never been ironic.

I fell into niche sprite comic message boards in the early aughts before finding RPG spaces and being convinced to join SA specifically because it a space where I could call someone an rear end in a top hat when I thought they were being an rear end in a top hat, and I was finally old and confident enough to see the appeal of that.

Also I'm lowkey enjoying the "how did I learn my online literacy / not become a fascist" origin story chat

He's also literally begging the government to take more of his money so that it can be properly invested into civic infrastructure and used to put money and food into the pockets and mouths of people who need them, and this thread's first response is to claim that he makes too much money to properly qualify as a comrade

I don't have a parasocial relationship with Robert Evans. I don't know him and never met him. He's not my friend. I don't get a say in how he makes his money or what he does with his time. I listen to his podcast, and from that podcast I've found him to be insightful and reasonable. If I thought he was doing problematic poo poo I'd push back or stop listening or find something better to do with my time.

By contrast, you seem to have a weird ax to grind vis a vis how Robert Evans makes his money, and like calling people that point out that you have a weird ax to grind as being churlish fanboys who dote on his every word.

Again, if you don't like his podcast, why are you posting about it

Hoo boy, listening to this Daily Wire series on It Could Happen Here and I hate everything about these fuckers.

Like, none of it is really new to me, but hearing it laid out like this is just loving infuriating
Robert's got a solid point in that the pivot to children's content is misguided. One of the biggest misconceptions around children's programming is that kids will just watch whatever is put in front of them. The reality is that children have agency and are more than capable of determining the quality of the media they're consuming.

I'm reminded of Justin McElroy's anecdote about the behavior of the children in the theater of The Emoji Movie vs any Pixar movie. In the first they're being loud and obnoxious and running around the theater, because that's what kids do when they're bored. In the second it's dead silent, because all of the kids are totally enraptured.

Of course The Daily Wire is run by and directed to the demographic that ardently believes that their offspring have no agency, even well into adulthood.
I relistened to the 12 Tribes episode and the main takeaway was that the thing that's killing the cult is that basing an entire belief structure around beating children inevitably leads to those children leaving the cult the minute they turn into adults. The target audience for this isn't kids, it's parents who believe that they have the right to be biblical overlords of their children and have complete control over what kind of ideas and information their children should have access to, and that's not an attitude that's going to engender positive feelings once those children grow up.

Like all things Daily Wire, it's a grift disguised as propaganda.

It looks like he's out for good, he was only able to wrench his way back in the first time by being majority shareholder and that's no longer the case.

It's unlikely he'll do jail time, civil lawsuits can take years, and when he dies he'll die a millionaire, but at the very least he's finally lost control of the media empire he's spent his entire life building. Cold comfort.
