The current Steven Crowder revelations make a few important things clear: 1. Everything is fake. Behind the scenes of his pro-family, conservative facade, Crowder was living and treating others in a way that contradicts those values. 2. There is almost no actual conservative movement. What we mostly have is cynical entertainers who will do anything for wealth. 3. People will actively defend an obvious abusers if they think doing so will help their "side" win. Defenders have no principles except protecting their place in the club and their access to wealth and fame. 4. The best we can do is divest ourselves of all emotional attachment to media figures and their fortunes and attend to our own small lives and the good we can do. Crowder isn't the first conservative media figure to implode, and he won't be the last. We have to be anchored in what's real so that these people matter less to us.
