   Hold on, if the Oliver Anthony song was astroturfed so easily, and by the (((daily wire))) at that, how come they haven't used this massive power to go after... oh.

     @ChilliestOfDillys @AngryWraith Once upon a time you’d say the same about jordan peterosen.

     “he’s just some nerd professor, who’s gonna listen to him? He has some interesting lectures, that’s it”

     Now this guy’s just a singer, but big things start small. As far as mass introductions go, this guy got it MADE. He went from nobody to “national sensation” from the outset. Benign, inoffensively rebellious stuff like this is perfect for them. It doesn’t have to be politically impactful as much as it does entertaining and good enough to make lifetime fans.

     Daily wire said they have 1M+ subscribers and $200M in revenue last year (if you believe them). That’s a lot of people who want new stuff to watch and enjoy. If all it takes to kickstart a new face is a cheesy shill campaign, that’s damn cheap advertising.

     Is the guy himself legitimate though? Is it possible that he was just co-opted by shipiro and his clan? I don't know anything about this. Just asking.

     @ChilliestOfDillys @AngryWraith No they just want to kickstart cultural figureheads on “our” side, guaranteed friendlies to rally behind and continue the very fruitful “conservative” engine. The guy is a household name, most every boomer at work has been listening to this and getting all pumped about how good it is to have “one of ours on the radio”

     Just like daily wire trying to make its own movies to cater to their people, they have a captive audience that wants content, this plays into that

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @AngryWraith ehh I don’t know man. I wouldn’t call a guy who did a song a cultural figurehead. I don’t know a single person who would go to a rally because he was a speaker there. I can buy him being pushed but I think that doesn’t count for all the success. I think a large part of the success is that he’s singing what a lot of people are thinking and doing it in a very palatable way, ie not screaming about kikes or total tranny death or any of the stuff that happens on poast.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @AngryWraith But to what end tho? If this is some zog plot to force us to listen to this song then what’s step 2 between this and Profit?

     @Humpleupagus @AngryWraith @ChilliestOfDillys Seems alright. They just plucked him out of the pile and decided he has the right mix to be used. When you’re on the production side of media you want certain things out of your talent like reliability, marketability, etc. Guy’s got them, from the little bits I’ve seen. He’ll be palatably libertarian, generically conservative but never spicy or inflammatory. More a win for us that it would ever be a loss.

     Overall it’s smart enough, like I said the con,inc method is aging. Not sure they’ll be able to brute-force their way to “virality” again so easily.
