The Strange and Surreal Tale of Candace Owens' Rise to Popularity

in #informationwar6 years ago (edited)

I don’t know how many of you are familiar with Candace Owens. She was an integral part of Kanye West’s awakening. She had said some things that he really resonated with which resulted in him delegating star power to bolster both her and his shared vision of a better America.

We’re talking about enlightened people here. People who don’t give two fucks what the thought controllers think about any given situation. Individuality is a necessary trait in a free society. It is both necessary for political awakening as well as in the world of creating art.

In the above interview with Joe Rogan, Candace and Joe are able to cover a lot of ground. Surprisingly enough to me, I learned that Candace’s origins story went much deeper than I thought it did.

Early on, she was a diehard leftist who was a victim of a hate crime. Although, to me, it seemed as if though she received the situation as more of a LARP which was perpetrated by some stupid and misguided teens.

This incident thrust her into the national spotlight which caused her to question the virtues of the victimhood mentality, as she seemed to lose a sense of herself throughout the whole fiasco. In turn, that resulted in her attempting to create a project that would in effect dox online bullies.

Apparently, at the time that she was promoting this project the girl who spawned the gamergate carnival had called her and “warned” her if she didn’t kill her project she would be harassed by the same “Donald Trump supporters” who harassed her and like clockwork “they” came in droves.

This only further caused Candace to speak out against the woman who had seemingly threatened her and then made good on it with her troll army and that resulted in even more media attention for Candace as she is not shy at all to speak her peace and be heard on the national stage.

I would say that her rise to fame and conversion to conservatism is at the very least, weird as fuck. Yet, it is a blessing for all of us as she is an integral part of America’s awakening process.

I’ve got a lot of respect for Candace Owens and what she is doing to make America a better place. We need a lot more like her who are unashamed and unapologetic for their traditionally American political viewpoints.

Conditions in America will become better over time, just so long as we can all speak our peace in productive and beneficial ways. We must retain our right to freedom of speech if we are to have a shot at this. Use it or lose it folks, the time is now, even more so than before!
