Ben is the contentious figure that makes partisan points of utter lunacy mixed with points of wisdom.
He's very well orated, and could be a very powerful speechwriter.
Instead, he uses his gift to call Palestinians a "... Radical evil."
He's also advocated for Palestinians to be removed from the West Bank, among other lunatic positions. Quite ironic, coming from Shapiro.

Her name is Elizabeth(?) and attended UMass Amherst in the early 2010s.

He has double allegiance so its to be expected

Whatever happened to that segment of Ben Shapiro reacting to his alt right "fans" and their merchant memes?

 

[Kamikaze]

I've met quite a few folks who believe this man is some sort of oracle. I've questioned them to figure out how that's possible, but usually they become triggered before any real conversation can occur. If anyone can offer any insight here I'd appreciate it, as what popularity he has baffles me.

I'm not some cantakerous shitlib either, I'm coming from the right talking to other right wingers.

 

[Boston Brand]

I saw that movie produced or released... Run Hide Fight. Honestly, pretty damned solid. Maybe he has more talent in movie production/distribution than politics.

Honestly, a lot of people would be far better off if they stayed away from politics.

 

[RadicalCentrist]

I had, at one point, compiled an exhaustive shitpost that proved his height to be 5'3" but I cannot find it at the moment. Maybe still bouncing around 4plebz or other archives. Note: He claims to be 5'9".

Also how did the AoC feet meme start?

 

[WeWuzFinns]

Ben's thread should include his article where he advocates for the expulsion of PaIestinians from Israel. Of course Ben knows what happened when the Germans tried to expulse Jews, so he wants the same thing to happen to PaIestinians. Based. Kind of cringe how he spends the majority of the article throwing up smoke screens to distract form this.

Transfer is not a dirty word

Transfer is not a dirty word​

Raise your hand if you were shocked at the breakdown of the so-called Middle East "road map." If you are raising your hand, give yourself a nice, hard slap across the chops. Maybe that will wake you up from your reverie of self-delusion.
The "road map" was doomed from the start. The Arab enmity for Jews and the state of Israel allows for no peace process.
The time for half measures has passed. Bulldozing houses of homicide bombers is useless. Instituting ongoing curfews in Arab-populated cities is useless. Roadblocks, touch fences, midnight negotiations and cease-fires are useless.
Some have rightly suggested that Israel be allowed to decapitate the terrorist leadership of the Palestinian Authority. But this too is only a half measure. The ideology of the Palestinian population is indistinguishable from that of the terrorist leadership.
Half measures merely postpone our realization that the Arabs dream of Israel's destruction. Without drastic measures, the Arab dream will come true. In the short term, the establishment of a "Palestinian state" based in Judea, Samaria and Gaza cuts Israel to the bone. In some places, Israel would be an unthinkable 9 miles wide. In the long term, the growth of the hostile Israeli-Arab population within pre-1967 Israel bodes ill for the future of the Jewish state. As University of Haifa professor Arnon Soffer says, "The trends and indicators all point to an economic and ecological catastrophe waiting to happen and of the death knell of the ideological dream of a Jewish state."
Here is the bottom line: If you believe that the Jewish state has a right to exist, then you must allow Israel to transfer the Palestinians and the Israeli-Arabs from Judea, Samaria, Gaza and Israel proper. It's an ugly solution, but it is the only solution. And it is far less ugly than the prospect of bloody conflict ad infinitum. When two populations are constantly enmeshed in conflict, it is insane to suggest that somehow deep-seated ideological change will miraculously occur, allowing the two sides to live together.
Unfortunately, this insanity is generally accepted as "the only way forward." President Bush accepts it because it is politically palatable. The Arabs accept it because for them, it is a Trojan horse. The Israelis accept it because they are afraid that if they expel the Arabs, they will be called Nazis.
For anyone who lived through the Holocaust, or who has relatives who died in it, being called a Nazi is unspeakably terrible. That is the secret weapon of the Arabs. Any time the Jews get wise and threaten mass expulsion of Arabs, the Arabs pull out their big stick, equating Nazism with Zionism. Their cartoons merge swastikas with stars of David. Their newspapers call Ariel Sharon another Adolf Hitler. Their spokespeople cry "Genocide!" And the Jews cower in fear that they could be equated with their parents' murderers.
The Jews don't realize that expelling a hostile population is a commonly used and generally effective way of preventing violent entanglements. There are no gas chambers here. It's not genocide; it's transfer. It's not Hitler; it's Churchill.
After World War II, Poland was recreated by the Allied Powers. In doing so, the Allies sliced off a chunk of Germany and extended Poland west to the Oder-Neisse line. Anywhere from 3.5 million to 9 million Germans were forcibly expelled from the new Polish territory and relocated in Germany.
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was pleased with the result. In 1944, he had explained to the House of Commons that "expulsion is the method which, so far as we have been able to see, will be the most satisfactory and lasting. There will be no mixture of populations to cause endless trouble ... a clean sweep will be made. I am not alarmed by the prospect of the disentanglement of populations, nor even by these large transferences, which are more possible in modern conditions than they ever were before." Churchill was right. The Germans accepted the new border, and decades of conflict between Poles and Germans ended.
Arab-Jewish conflict is exponentially more volatile than German-Polish conflict ever was. And the solution is far easier. If there was "room in Germany for the German populations of East Prussia and of the other territories," as Churchill stated, there is certainly room in the spacious Muslim states of the Middle East for 5 million Palestinians and Israeli Arabs. If Germans, who had a centuries-old connection to the newly created Polish territory, could be expelled, then surely Palestinians, whose claim to Judea, Samaria and Gaza is dubious at best, can be expelled.
It's time to stop being squeamish. Jews are not Nazis. Transfer is not genocide. And anything else isn't a solution.

 

[Full Race Replay]

i don't get why (some) conservative pundits like Shapiro get so triggered over pop culture. I kind of agree that young children can have really bad influences but that's on parents, not the fault of artists. Wether it's just a lazy cash grab, or more refined mature work, art is always pushing the boundaries of taboos, violence and gore, and meant to be an escape of sorts to let fantasy run wild. Anyone could take the same kind of logic and apply it to artists to make paintings using nude models, or shooters like call of duty or any shit like that, but Ben is definitely just speaking out against rap artists like cardi b because they tend to be super liberal.

Ben Shapiro doing his act of reading out rap lyrics like he's got some moral superiority complex is definitely one of the most embarrassing things about the modern right wing.

To be honest a year ago i would've never thought Ben shapiro would be a lolcow but here we are and i 100% agree.

His autism meltdown about John Lennons ''Imagine'' is the funniest shit. Especially when the ''music expert'' tries to talk over the song and gets drowned out by it to the point that he sounds like a heckler.

 

[Furret]

Shapiro, like many of the other conservative media personalities he's often grouped with, is very good at grifting and not very good at much of anything else. As that one British guy demonstrated, Shapiro's debating skills aren't actually that great, and he tends to crack if his opponent isn't immediately overwhelmed by the amount of shitty arguments he spams at them in the first 15 seconds. He used to be a writer, but his political manifestos masquerading as fiction aren't much better than his actual arguments if the reviews are at all accurate. To most people, Shapiro is just that guy who blew up in 2016/2017 because of feminist cringe compilations and isn't someone to be taken seriously at all.

To his target audience of right-leaning young teenagers, though, Shapiro might as well be God himself. The thing with Shapiro is that his reasoning seems bulletproof if he's your first exposure to politics and confirms your pre-existing worldview, so he'll always have a grift as long as he can market himself to those teens who will blindly believe his every word without actually doing their own research or thinking. Shapiro's goal isn't to actually make good arguments or be reasonable, but to create the appearance of doing those things in the eyes of his audience. He loves debating clueless college students with no debate experience because he can make himself look really smart in comparison to them, and that brings in the people he needs clicking his videos and listening to his podcasts.

Or maybe he really is just that insecure. Who knows.

I’m calling it here. Infected tag by the end of the month.

Thinks Jesus is a common criminal yet makes tons of money off Christians and even wrote a book in 2019, The Right Side of History, about how Judeo-Christian values built the West.

I've met quite a few folks who believe this man is some sort of oracle. I've questioned them to figure out how that's possible, but usually they become triggered before any real conversation can occur.

Conservatives speak in their own shorthand. They don't need to 'explain' anything.

Incidentally, they often lack evidence for the most wild predictions. “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence", but not in Conserva-Land, because many of them (outside of a few neurotics) don't actually believe the nonsense they're spewing. It's a form of viral language.

 

[Meat Pickle]

Also how did the AoC feet meme start?

After AOC got elected, Ben obsessively tried to get her to debate him, going as far as donating $10000 to her campaign as an incentive. People started to joke that Ben is a secret simp for AOC after that. Second was when a supposed nude of AOC was being circulated.

Spoiler: Original meme

It was later debunked when a foot fetishist on Reddit cross-refenced it and identified them as belonging to someone else. These two things just happened to combine into this meme in the end.

 

[Bassomatic]

Ben is one of those cows I'd really like to see him react to his thread here and the farms. I think he's smart enough to ignore this place but if he did talk about it here, he'd "BTFO" us with FACTS AND LOGIC saying this place is an anti semite shit hole we're all losers, then go on how great it is because we mock and trigger da libs. All while preaching he's not a hypocrite.

Of course it was.

It's even worse than that. His fans worship him almost as deity. I've seen fans of his rewrite their entire belief systems in order to avoid having to criticize him for doing/saying something that they would bash others for.

I can be a little bit of an a-log towards him because I don't take what he does lightly. I think he is genuinely an evil human being. He manipulates the suffering of other in order to gatekeep them into accepting positions that don't help them but do help him and his tribe of people.

Is he a cow though? I'm in the middle leaning slightly towards yes. At the end of the day he's smart enough to avoid certain traps of being a cow. He avoids for the most part sperging out heavily or going off on social media.

At the same time however, he's still an eccentric individual who lacks self-awareness. And while he does avoid a lot of it, he is prone to trolling and reacting to it in a fury.

This sort of doublespeak is Ben's stock and trade. Whenever a liberal quotes the Constitution, he gets very heated and says that the Constitution is worn out and absurd.

He just isn't any sort of political mind. Owning the libs is the quickest way to stay in the spotlight.

i don't get why (some) conservative pundits like Shapiro get so triggered over pop culture.

Especially when half their audience don't listen to pop music. Most of them tuned out altogether when Liberace died.

Tucker was running the VMAs on a loop, and the first thing which popped into my head is, "Do his viewers even know what scissoring is?" It's like that scene in Paterno where he turns to one of his sons and earnestly asks, "What's sodomy?"

Don’t forget that time when he was flat-out embarrassed by one of BBC’s oldest contributors who regularly calls out partisan politicians, Andrew Neil:
