Well it is awful that Ben faced threats. But he's not the first, nor the last person who suffered from this.
Doctor Ford, for example. We've seen political activists/figures and other centers of controversy from both the Right and the Left recieve death threats since 2016 and each time we just chant #awful for three minutes and move on. Why is this case so special that it deserves an entire thread? Soy is healthy, btw.

Isn't this whataboutism?

Nah, I'm not saying "But what about Doctor Warren?" to try and shift/deflect from Shapiro, since I am also curious about what happened to Ben.
So what do you call it cuz you're going "but Mrs. Ford" too. Is the claim now that it's not whataboutism if you pull whataboutism but also express a bit of curiosity about the topic?
What would you label it? You didn't just discuss Ben(the topic). You had to insert Christine Blasey Ford into your reply.
Also, just to add, it's pathetic to equate death threats that Ford got with the ones Shapiro received. Ford straight-up lied her ass off to try and smear an innocent man. All Ben did was have right-leaning views and the fascistic left think that fact alone justifies violence.
With that said, I don't endorse violent threats made by anyone against anyone.

I just want to be clear on the new definition of "whataboutism". Apparently bringing up Ford means it's not whataboutism, cuz some interest was also shown in the topic.
This, of course, means that if some white supremacist commits an act of terror...bringing up muslim terrorist attacks is fair game in a thread about it as long as you show a bit of curiosity about the original topic.

lmao Oh come on , Surtur... you know better than that.
It's never ok to criticize Islam under any circumstances. Though you can talk shit about Christianity and Judaism all day every day and no one will even bat an eye. Especially if the perpetrator is white.

Well that's the "loving" and "tolerant" left for you. These are the same hypocrites that chant "love trumps hate!" while at the same ganging-up on you and practically beating the shit out of you with a crowbar or whatever weapons they have on them.
I wouldn't do that to you, mate.

Soy actually causes gynecomastia when eaten in large amounts regularly. It literally causes an increase in estrogen in men, so soyboy is a legitimate insult towards feminine males.
It still amuses that Paul Joseph Watson continuously berated "soy boys" while shamelessly shilling and claiming daily use of Infowars supplement Brain force plus which had soy as its main base ingredient.

You sure about that? I don't use that particular supplement myself anymore (once tried it but didn't do anything for me) but I just checked Jones's website and it says it contains soy. I didn't see anywhere on the bottle where it said soy is the primary ingredient.
Alex Jones does have some good supplements he sells in his store though. My most used supplement he sells is his "Vitamin/Mineral Fusion". It's a good multi-mineral/vitamin supplement. His iodine supplement called "x2 Survival Shield" is really good as well. He just recently upgraded it to x3 though. Just ordered myself some of it few days ago.Looking forward to trying it out and see how much better it is than x2.

For all the talk about how Trump is responsible anytime the media gets any threats, or Jews are attacked (some ****ing how people attribute antisemitism to Trump) or how anyone who is heavily critical of Ilhan Omar is inciting violence against her, are the same people who make that kind of argument with one hand going to use the other hand to make the case that the media is not culpable on any level for completely butchering the story about Nick Sandman? Or for repeatedly smearing people like Ben Shapiro as "alt-right"?
