Who does this even appeal to? It feels like a circus with people just tuning in to watch the freaks. Like if Jerry Springer was hosted by the guests.

My neighbor eats this shit up. She’s constantly saying “Candace Owens said…”. What’s worse is she thinks that because she likes Candace that she can’t possibly be a racist. Despite how many times she says racist shit.

I think that’s a large part of her appeal. She can be their black friend that’s one of the good ones. Then they can actually believe that they aren’t racist.

I don’t think many black people are listening to her.

The funny part is I might skim someone like this to see what new idiotic conspiracy I can cut off before my family starts spewing it, but her promotion is so low I had no idea she had a YouTube.

The rep also said it is a “threat to hate speech when people can mass report a page and get someone banned–because they broke the rules. Today, the opponents of hate speech are targeting Candace, but anyone who spreads hate speech could be next.”

Sounds about right to me.

Does anyone here remeber when, “free speech” and “Conservative speech” didn’t mean hate speech, racism, lies, misinformation and Russian anti-American propaganda?

No, I can’t remember a time where most of that wasn’t fact.

I became politically aware - as in I could name more politicians than just the head of state for big countries - in my late teens. I’m now 41. Never remember such a time

Furthermore reading history doesn’t help disabuse me of that notion either.

Well, you changed a couple words there. The idiocy of the statement is still in tact though.

I just translated it to non-shitheal.

It’s likewhen Trump says, “If I can be prosecuted for paying hush money to a porn star that I fucked while my wife was at home caring for my newborn son then lying about it and falsifying business records to cover it up to interfere in an election then it can happen to anyone who pays hush money to a porn star that they fucked while their wife was at home caring for their newborn son then lying about it and falsifying business records to cover it up to interfere in an election.”

I just can’t see myself ever being in that position.

I like how the meaning of this sentence changes with the gratuitous space.

" […] In short, I can no longer make money on YouTube because I traffick [sic] in ‘hate.’"

Yes. Accurate. You also can’t spell or copy-edit worth a shit. Thought leader.

She is likewise a long-time defender of Kanye West, who famously appeared on Alex Jones’ Infowars show in 2022 saying he “liked” Hitler, that “[Nazis] did good things, too” and “We’ve got to stop dissing the Nazis all the time.”

He said he “love[d]” Hitler. Be accurate.

Oh, Candace, you thoughtless dolt. It’s too bad your hateful bullshit can’t be on the tubez anymore. Good thing Lonnie built video streaming into the shit site so you can broadcast there with your buddy Sucker Carl.

Candace just might be the dumbest member of the rogues’ gallery of dumb right-wing chancers that pollute our culture. A genuine imbecile. Makes Dave Rubin seem 50% less cretinous just by being in the same room as him.

I can understand being locked into a worldview that doesn’t make sense or is immoral, people are weird and easily led. However, if you think Candace Owens is smart and worth following, there’s really no hope for you. You’re basically a Tamagotchi with IBS.
