Some More News - Why nobody should listen to Ben Shapiro.



TL;DR Ben Shapiro is either dumb or an emotion-driven narcissist who willfully lies to advance his agenda.



Also, it's nice to see that Cody Johnston and Katy Stoll from cracked.com have made the jump from comedy-skits to social commentary and political analysis. Best of luck to these two.

...little to no debate experience. When he gets interviewed by an experienced BBC reporter (who is also a hardcore Tory) on the other hand, he just runs away.

Shit, I never heard of him until last week so I don't know why I would listen to him. I have no clue as to where he came from or how he ended up being a topic.

a whole video about ben shapiro? but it turned out to be so good I went and subscribed on youtube and listened gleefully to the entire thing.

i've recently discovered other youtube content creators who go after the right wing youtube personalities who are radicalizing thousands if not millions of young americans. it's been eye opening.

kick and rec.

He does horrible unless he’s beating up on someone with no debate experience.

See his BBC interview for what happens when he leaves his echo chamber or college campuses. He got destroyed so badly that he had to apologize on Twitter for being a hack.
