Benny is sort of a 'gateway' into our depths of knowledge. I honestly can't stand him, he's a bit annoying. But I have an aunt that watches him, and we have conversations I wouldn't have with other 'normies.'
I got about 3 seconds into this video and the music and just the way he presents is annoying to me, but at least he does have a reach into a good percentage of the normies to get them thinking about stuff.
Spot on. He's another step on the path. I don't care for him but he's like the 3rd step on the journey. I kinda feel it's Daily Wire, American Thinker, Benny Johnson types, on and on until you end up here in the deep end.
I may have mentioned it elsewhere, but I have a bias/prejudice against people of... say, Benny's strata. "inflooencers"
But after I wrote this comment, and then my post later, I found myself reflecting.
Maybe there's really a place (and need) for these different strata. I'm strongly drawn to the in-depth thinkers, the analysts, and their hard core attention to things, but someone like Benny maybe reaches people who just cannot (or will not) tune in to those folks.
While I'm wary of controlled opposition, I guess its fair to look at the alt-media sphere as a bit of a complex ecosystem, and folks like Benny, as grating as they can be, maybe have a role to play.
I appreciate your comment, and the contrasting perspective it brings. Thank you!!
