    Man if I was a piece of shit I’d be a right wing grifter too. You get paid to say the dumbest shit to the stupidest people.

      The term I’ve heard is the “right wing grift drift”. Even the left leaning Russell Brand went through the drift when he got cancelled after SA accusations.

      I have considered this many times. That’s easy money. Except I kind of like having a soul and be of sound moral character and actually be a force for good in the Universe. I wouldn’t survive the alignment penalty.

          I bet if you started lying, and made millions from it, you’d be eating foie gras with important people in posh restaurants telling you how you make a difference and you’d soon forget about morals.

          It’s like doing heroin. Once you get hooked on it, you’re fucked. That’s why you stay clean.

    Well it makes sense. After all his study into reaching for but never quite grasping things, a shift into right wing commentary is only natural.
