“Always have one hand reaching up for the next rung of the ladder, and have one reaching down to help the next guy up.”
That’s a maxim I’ve lived by since starting my newpub career.
But conservative indie authors and readers are starting to notice that the e-celebs packaged as culture war champions won’t lift a finger for them, much less a hand.
Take the recent example of disturber of the peace turned Twitter pundit Jack Posobiec:
So Poso gets off on the right foot by retweeting a call to support right-wing creators. All well and good.
But then another Twitter user asks him to put his clout where his mouth his.
The response is less than consistent.
The shot:
That’s his big cultural contribution: a single comic he released 3 years ago, which also happened to promote him.
Here’s the chaser:
It’s not like I can’t see an influencer turning down a request for a signal boost. Maybe the artist’s message is not a good fit for your brand. Maybe you just don’t have time.
But the block is a strange response. Why would a Conservative culture warrior do that?
Maybe because he knows he’s a fraud.
Yes, that’s Double Agent Poso shilling for a charity with Antifa connections.
So while he won’t give a signal boost to conservative creators, he will grift to send their money to people who hate those creators.
Poso’s comment there just drips with “What’s in it for me?”
Which gives you an insight into his motives.
Say what you will about the Death Cult, its members aren’t on the make for a quick buck. They’re devoted to a moral crusade.
Granted, their morals are diabolical inversions of the truth. But cultists will give their money, friends, families, and humanity for them.
Their dedication stands in sharp contrast to the grifters Con Inc. has foisted on us a leaders.
The grifters don’t care about you. If you listen long enough, you’ll hear them say it in their own words.
They’re looking out for #1.
Which raises the question of what was in it for Poso when he did that Heyer Foundation promo.
