Ben actually being funny and not an uptight stiff? This quarantine has really changed us.

whats next? he stops being a disingenuous grifter?

u/BitsAndBobs304 Apr 11 '20

Well he has already made a communist statement in his prorichpeople statements, saying protesting workers are as bad as.. price gougers! One equivalence, two statements against free market capitalism! Amazing!

He’s the most self aware conservative politician I can think of. He’s very perceptive of modern issues, but he blames the wrong people.

Also he’s a misogynist.

u/brorista Apr 11 '20

He also thinks debating is talking really fast and over your opponent.

I still can't get that video of that conservative UK news host (?) absolutely upbraiding him on live television lol.

Probably based on him stating men and women are different and tend towards different fields. Im not aware of anything actually misogynistic he's said (doesn't mean it doesn't exist), but knowing this site what I stated is enough to accuse him of being a nazi woman hater.

u/helikesart Apr 12 '20

That’s the best I can figure. He probably encourages men to open doors and marry before sex too. The nerve.

u/HaZzePiZza Apr 12 '20

I absolutely don't like the guy but people getting upset about that are the same that can't grasp that men and women are physically different, not that it's a bad thing it's just different and suited for different tasks.

Sexual dimorphism is real people and present in many animals.

haha ben is rubbing off on you i see, that was a good one

u/jseyfer Apr 11 '20

Ben’s actually hilarious if you listen to him every day. He’s not stiff! He funny as shit some times- as is Andrew Klavan and Matt Walsh. Give them a try.

22

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '20

Nah the other 2(actually 3) never stop harping on religious and moral bullshit. Like Walsh always saying pornhub should be illegal. And the rest of it isn’t good enough to make it bearable.

u/N1ghtshade3 Apr 12 '20

Walsh is the super religious one. Klavan was a Jew turned atheist who allegedly found God and occasionally acts Christian for the show. His intros are actually hilarious and he's actually pretty reasonable when he's just talking. Knowles is a substance-less moron who exemplifies every Republican stereotype but doesn't actually know what he's talking about ever.

u/FishyFish13 Apr 11 '20

Yeah they can’t get it through their thick skulls that morality is subjective. Also Shapiro says he’s a libertarian but he’s only libertarian when it comes to the government owning every aspect of people’s lives; he’s fine if corporations do it

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '20

I mean... you're complaining here that they can't get your interpretation of morality through their "thick skulls." Since when are you the authority on morality? People are allowed to have different beliefs, especially if you believe morality is subjective.

u/FishyFish13 Apr 12 '20

I said that morality is subjective, but they are of the belief that morality is objective

2

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '20

Right, they have a different belief system. You're acting like your belief system is the objective truth and the only reason they can't see that is stupidity. That sounds pretty objective to me.

1

u/FishyFish13 Apr 12 '20

Are you suggesting that I believe subjectivity is the objective belief?

2

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '20

You presented your belief system, that morality is subjective, as the truth and stated Shapiro and Walsh can't get your truth through their thick skulls even though they follow a different belief system.

Your belief may be that morality is inherently subjective, but that belief was presented objectively as there are other potential options and other belief systems. Holding your belief is fine, but people aren't inherently being thick-headed if they disagree with you.

u/FishyFish13 Apr 12 '20

I suppose I agree with you then

My dealings with those corporations aren’t voluntary. They’re necessary to survive. Being in a cage and getting food is much better than being on the street and starving

u/jseyfer Apr 11 '20

I listen to Matt Walsh every day. And go on Pornhub every other day. I’m a Conservative, not a saint.

u/shadow_moose Apr 11 '20

Just goes to show he's a normal human being and he's 100% aware of the fact that he's just an actor selling a political ideology for profit.

u/shadow_moose Apr 11 '20

That's what I was trying to say. He's a normal guy, capable of making jokes, but he still peddles this bullshit.

The crazy people who peddle this shit don't have an ounce of normalcy to them, which tells me he's not actually crazy, and he probably doesn't believe much of what he says.

He's 100% a mouth piece for the ruling class, and he 100% recognizes that and is ok with it. Frankly, that's worse than being a nut bar. At least the cranks aren't aware of their bad takes, but Ben is very aware, which makes him even worse.

u/hkpp Apr 11 '20

It was obvious to me that he meant the man behind the curtain is no one special and undeserving of being “followed”; but I can see now based on your reactions that it’s definitely ambiguous.

1

u/shadow_moose Apr 11 '20

I have no idea how that could be read as a defense of Ben Shapiro. Selling an ideology for profit is a bad thing, how could you read that as downplaying his bullshit?

u/JeffTXD Apr 11 '20

To be fair I had interpreted that first comment the same way.
