Your last clip is SOOOO accurate. I worked at a gas station for a couple years, and one day a tornado passed right over the store. Our store was unscathed other than losing a few garbage cans but several buildings nearby had extensive damage. The roads were flooded, multiple trees and powerlines were down in the area, the store is pitch black other than a couple flashlights, and my coworkers and I are trying to move as much perishable food into the freezers as we can so we don't have to throw it out the next day. And every twenty minutes or so someone knocks on the front door asking if we have any coffee, or better yet tries to get gas from pumps that have been shut down as there is almost two feet of standing water around them.

[@solarpilot]

Wow, looks like they could use some emergency lighting around the office for the next time power goes out. 😬

[@LabTech41]

@@youwilltry I mean inappropriate things; namely that I suspect a large number of the people bringing up Ben Shapiro as a negative are hypocrites, and would fail their own tests by their own standards if they stood outside themselves. As for Doug's financial philosophy, as someone who's known him personally for a LONG time, I have no fucking clue what his financial standings are, and I'm not entirely sure he knows either; they honestly seem pretty fluid, and he'll shift from one perspective to another, sometimes in the same conversation. I mean, Doug's balls deep into bitcoin; is bitcoin being financially conservative?

Some people are letting it affect their emotions and perception of Doug, unsubbing and saying that it's sad. Just think about that. It takes 5 seconds for all this prejudice to happen. Those 5 seconds are what I meant by next to nothing context. Because: - We don't know when he started listening to the podcast. - We don't know what other podcasts he listens to. - We don't know even know if Doug's the one listening to it as, Ian has access to his car with the card thing. - And if he is listening to it, we don't know to what extent his beliefs overlap with those in the podcast. Or to what extent the podcast affects his thinking. What other context could we have beyond the fact that an episode of Ben Shapiro's podcast is displayed on the screen?

@@JacolbyG Just a quick disclaimer: I don't care about Ben Shapiro. I only know him as the guy who has a bunch of comeback compilations on KZbin. I don't particularly care about politics. And since I'm not American, I don't know much about their politics to feel confident enough to speak about it. What I do care about, and have an aversion for, is the quick unwarranted and extreme judgement people have these days. I was bullied as a kid, for a fact about me that no one cared to know enough context in.

@@LabTech41 Ben Shapiro has said some downright awful things, and many of them he has not retracted, or if he has it is clearly not because he changed his views. For instance, his comments on "Palestinians living in sewers", writing a book where a BLM activist pays a kid to get killed by the cops so he can turn said cops into a drug dealing empire, rampant transphobia, homophobia, and general bigotry. The fact that he speaks without swearing doesn't change the fact that he is a bigot. Given the public views of Wyrmwood, many of which explicitly disagree with everything Ben Shapiro stands for, the public being upset is not really a surprise.
