I don’t understand what hawk tuah has to do with this but I haven’t listened to her podcast. Is she pushing right wing ideas or something?
Any desperate meme shit like this circles the bowl and gathers in the gutter. The gutter is a place exclusively run by conservatives so they can catch failed actors/comedians and the latest conservative criminal clown on parade (I.e. Rittenhouse, protest gun couple, etc) She's probably fine enough, but was likely vulnerable and is now fully surrounded by a grift cocoon (hence the crypto bullshit). She's also likely drinking her own kool aid by now, getting fed coke and kept on a constant schedule to keep her on the hamster wheel. They'll milk every drop and especially "spit on that thang" as it all burns out and the grifters infrastructure drastically discounts the condoms with her face on them in the merch store as they move on to the next pray in the headlines. Conservative soccer moms will then buy graphic year with her face on then for $4 after it becomes a bargain basement licensed meme like the grumpy cat.
We live in a cloud of shit.
Wikipedia says she's from Tennessee. That's the only thing that hinted at conservatism that I've seen
Apparently she got involved in a big crypto scam or something too. Not sure if that makes her explicitly right wing though.
Memecoins aren't a scam. You can't say that someone who is selling dog shit is scamming people when they tell you that its dog shit.
They lied and said the dogshit would make them magically rich when they bought it.
It's a scam
I dont think so. Everyone knows shitcoins are shit gambles and just about timing the dump.
No, not everyone.
Why would memecoins generate any money ever if everyone knew it was bs?
Why do some people play the lottery if they know its a scam?
Shitcoins actually have a higher chance of you making money than slot machines. They're both a game.
Honestly, the lottery has been around a lot longer but the idea is the same. Those who know it's a scam don't buy into it, obviously.
That being said, many people still beleive they have the chance and it still brings in a ton of money with a payout to a few and the rest going to the government.
Same bs.
Yeah it seems like an unrelated thing that the author is trying to force to fit the trend their article is about.
I mean, she ran a crypto rug pull. If I had to guess...
So I’ve heard but I don’t really see the connection between that and the manosphere stuff the rest of the article is about. Con artists who take advantage of publicity have always been around.

Well, apparently I was wrong
Did she run it, or did some crypto bros see an opportunity to use a naive person to be the face of something to grain traction, and then cash in because it was shit.
If you thought hawk coin was an investment then you are the problem
You mean shitcoin. You can't rug pull a solana or ec token
With enough money you can
No, you can't. A rug pull refers to shutting down the website and taking all of the coins in the service wallet.
You can't shutdown a token. You're using the wrong word. Its a dump, not a rug pull
Same scam
Crypto is all a scam because it's not valid currency, and you give others valid currency to obtain it. But it is talked about like it can be used as currency.
That's the scam.
