"Ben Shapiro's fans apparently think he is very smart. It is not clear why."

This article asks a good question, and certain folks will not like the answer. 🙁

I have been saying this for quite some time. His fans seem impressed by any conservative who can speak in complete sentences. He should change the title of the article to "Ben Shapiro: The Kids Table Philosopher."

I still think he makes good points at times. Leftists seem to hate him.

Stupid leftists, hating the blatant bigotry of someone who wants to cast an entire race of people out of their homes and who considers all members of said race to be inherently murderous and worthy of god inspired genocide.

The same people who shame entire groups, like white people, white men, conservatives, etc.?

Yeah, no room to wag your tongue about that.

No offense, but look at you kunts lol:

An Abomination. A Monster. That’s Me?

This is an article supposed to be about an anti-white article from a Texas State University newspaper with the headline "Your DNA Is an Abomination".

Strangely enough, they manage to talk a whole load of shit about white people in this article about how it's bad to write a negative article about white people. Shit has to be talked about whites and Trump, he'd be an apostate if he didn't.

"The far right set the tone, but the left shouldn’t adopt it. Doing so won’t get us to the fairer place that we must inhabit, and it plays directly into Trump’s dirty hands.

It may seem odd at this fearful juncture to point out any failings other than his and his abettors’. He and they are disgracing our country in ever more galling ways, with support from a fringe of white nationalists whose reprehensible ideology warrants all of the attention that it receives and more."

Even more:

"After the “abomination” column, Texas State turned into a furious, distressingly familiar theater of denunciation and counter-denunciation. The president of the university, understandably, condemned what the student had written as racist. So did the president of the student body. Campus groups representing minorities said that these rebukes didn’t take into account the slurs that they routinely endure. They’d been demonized and terrorized, so why such upset and outrage over a reversal of fortunes?

It’s a legitimate observation. It’s also a dead end. Turnabout may be fair play, but it’s foul morality. It’s also foolish politics. Mirroring the ugliness of white nationalists and the alt-right just gives them the ammunition that they want and need."

So he's not for this, but it's a totally legit observation that the article is okay because of the personal anecdotes of students, claiming they get slurs sent at them routinely. I just don't believe it lol. I don't believe it anymore because they lie for attention and victimhood status.

He then does go on to list examples of stuff going too far in colleges. He also DOES seem somewhat aware of the damage this shit does, going by this:

"But what college newspaper would have published a column by a white student telling his black peers that they’re a wretched lot? What, beyond catharsis, did the column’s author accomplish?

And what has happened to our discourse — and how we do we make necessary progress — when hate is answered by hate, prejudice is echoed by prejudice, extremism begets extremism and ostensible liberalism practices abject illiberalism? Isn’t that how Donald Trump wins?"

He sort of gets it, he really tries, and then this is how he ends it:

"On the website Acculturated, the writer Bethany Mandel noted that one thread of discussion about Harvey Weinstein and sexual abuse posited that masculinity is inherently toxic and male sexuality inevitably brutal. It essentially told her and other mothers that “our sons are destined to become predators no matter what we do,” she wrote.

She pushed back: “If we want our boys to be better, we have to raise them with the expectation they can be better, not tell them constantly that they are monsters in training.”

And if we want white people to be better, we have to tell them that they’re capable of that. Because we are, all evidence in the Oval Office notwithstanding."

A good point made by the woman he quotes, and then we see it: if we want white people to be better we need to tell them they are capable of that.

Replace the word "white" with "black" and tell me there wouldn't be outrage lol. I'm tired of you leftist schmucks delusional to your own side. You aren't better, you just have deluded yourself into thinking you are. That is the problem.

Why would I want to debate with Ben when I can just beat him up.

Because violence isn't how people are supposed to handle disagreements in a western liberal democracy?

But what am I saying? You're a self-avowed socialist, you don't believe in liberalism.

You are right, it was very articulate and quick witted. 🙁

Well, that's because the writer isn't a debater. I'm willing to bet if they had a written debate, Ben would find himself dismantled.

I would love to see Jon Stewart take this guy down a notch though.


That remains to be seen.

My favourite was when he talked about how to debate climate change. He stated he wasn't an expert but had an opinion then went on to talk about the most irrelevant and meandering nonsense you've ever heard while contradicting himself constantly.

Dem gawd dayam Ay-rabs!

Be less obvious about it. At least put more efforts into you troll attempts to make your posts look more legit.

I do not agree everything Ben Shapiro says but the man wrecks people who get into his way. He definitely got the better of Cenk who was rattled and started bashing the audience in their debate. It is hypocritical how people try to shut down his speeches and get insane. Be civil and have a discussion.

Agreed...

And loving the new profile Quan. Your former apprentice Kurk still has the best profile shit on KMC though.

Calling out deflectionary tactics isn't trolling double d.

Your skill at name calling is noted though.

Yes, Beniboybling seems very devastated about the "troll" name calling.

Your butthole has been thoroughly noted, though.
