Yeah move away from all your friends family to pick up coal mining job go get some black lung and have no fucking health benefits. I hate that I used to think I was so smart because I listened to Benjamin. Truth is he is a babbling idiot and if you don't believe me pick up his book "right side of history" where he cherry picks the shit out of history to support a claim that would do nothing for society even if it proves true.

Is the reason why Ben talks so fast because he has to get the ridiculous words out before his consciousness actually understands the drivel coming out of his mouth?

[@GrumpyOldFart2]

Renee Ariesen It’s actually a tactic. As has been noted, if you speak very quickly and *confidently*, listeners may have a greater tendency to think that you know what you’re talking about It’s what makes him a good debater. Notice I didn’t say CORRECT. Throw out six or seven statements that sound factual in a short period of time to overwhelm your “opponent”, and it appears as if you are “owning” them, even if what you are saying is bullshit. And yes, it is *absolutely* deliberate. I think gish-galloping is the correct terminology to describe the above.

[@Cream147player]

I actually think this might be accurate. By talking so quickly, it makes it easier for him to just roll out lies and right-wing talking points without him having mid-sentence realisations that he's just talking garbage.

[@simongiles9749]

[@jblue1622]

Most Hated hmm he’s more than just a parrot, he doesn’t just throw out talking points, I actually don’t hear him using talking points, this is why he’s more dangerous than most of them and that’s why they think he’s intellectual, because he seems to think for himself and talk in his own way while also being able to grovel on that party line

[@cosmojenkins3020]

jblue1622 Nah, he does a lot of both. If you look up who he’s being paid by you can see where a lot of his dosh is coming from. He actually weaves the two worlds together in a very organic way: “Say personal opinion, now mention that thing I’m being paid to say, now back to what I was saying-“ I heard he was a lawyer, so it makes sense he’s such a talented speaker and grifter. Oh, I also heard his wife is a doctor!

[@leogorgone4414]

“Conservatism” is completely dead as an ideological movement. The mere fact that women can vote and wear pants was the nail in its coffin. Ben Shapiro is the best thing they’ve got to carry the hollow corpse of their political ideology.

Not at all. A part of his initial appeal was that he was an asthmatic and weak looking little Jewish boy. Asthma inhaler in hand, he was trying hard to impress the adults at the big table. Until he was exposed, people were just saying things like "Go get 'em Lil' Ben!". When he was exposed as a dangerous shill, it was quite apparent he was an imbecile.

[@Matt_Fields_29]

No, I think they hear him, along with all the ugliest things he says, and they like what they hear. When Shapiro says "discriminating against black people in job interviews isn't racist because the stereotype that black people are criminals is true", his fans actually believe that prejudging a person based on cynical racial stereotypes - isn't racist.

[@monitoradiation]

Ben is a Jew, he isn't White. He has pledged allegiance to Israel, not the USA.The few "White Supremacist" groups left in existence are heavily federally infiltrated and / or funded rabble. I suppose it will do as the new narrative, but there are more "Albanian Tap Dancing Midget" supremacists on the right than "White" supremacists. Really.

[@KillaTequilla83]

@@GenXGamez you're drawing your perceptions of his gayness off of what? he has a high pitched voice? That he's awkward and uptight? He's clearly a grifter and a shameless one at that-but is that inherently a gay thing? Brogressive liberals like to tote around the study about people with strong homophobic sentiment being more stimulated by gay porn than their less prejudice counterparts, and so its become a meme to insinuate that any republican that doesnt adhere strictly to the gender binary (or anyone at all with strong conservative views) is actually gay and hiding it. And while you can appreciate the intent (to be socially progressive) the implication is that a lot of homophobia is a result of internalized hatred and not a paradigm and product of heteronormative straight men. So sure, lol DAE republicans with vocal fry=gay amirite was funny like 10 years ago, but now its just a tired meme that lets shitty straight people off the hook, while bullying people with the same dumb homophobic rhetoric that anyone even slightly effeminate or non masculine or even odd is probably secretly gay. I'm sure this is way longer than you could care to read about so: tldr; the joke frames homophobia and conservatism as problem endemic to gay people and is just boomer level internet bullying. You can do better.

I have a heartwarming update for you. Following his 15 minutes of fame, he realized everyone despised him. Luckily, there was one kind soul who saw, beneath all those ugly, hateful layers, a great amount of potential and a void nobody until then attempted to fill. Milo found himself an unlikely protector, role model, and sensei. She was once every right winger's ultimate "fear"/ nagging desire. Perpetuating the tired stereotype of intimidating TGirl of color was part of her hustle but she did it with style. As an OG from the Milk days, retirement can be such a drag. Stumbling upon the bigoted KZbinr turned curbside duckling, the possibilities were too tempting (stereotypes be damned). They hung out in the space toilet, sharing various substances and thoughts spoken through volatile verbiage only the two of them could make sense of. Milo being Milo needed to finally be put in his place and Tara did just that, living up to her well-earned name. Thanks to the tough loving, he finally found himself as well as a more dignified and salutary role in the entertainment industry, a dream he's working towards, one mouthful at a time. . After long, grueling training with the road cones and the gigantic, black rubber fist from hell, the reborn Vaseline Dion set out on her new path to stardom, hoping to inspire other fallen grifters. I think he'll succeed as long as he stays away from shooting up in his pecker and pissing off the LGBTQ and sex work community with the newbie obnoxiousness. At least he's no longer a bigot! It might won't let me edit without losing text. :( What would Ben Shapiro's name be?
