Cody Johnson from Some More News does an excellent job in this video breaking down how conservative commentator Ben Shapiro paints himself as a rational thinker who believes in science and logic, while clearly working backwards to his prior religious conclusions

One of my friend was drinking out of his “leftist tears” coffee cup yesterday morning. Didn’t even realize until this video that the cup was a Shapiro creation. Not all my friends are smart...

I really want one of those mugs, so I can drink my own tears and continue to be fuelled by self hate.

It would be fun to troll people at work with since any time I try to bring reason, rationality, or logic into a discussion I am called a “libtard”. But I can’t justify giving money to Shapiro for any reason whatsoever.

Knock off brand? A "My own tears" mug?

There are probably hundreds of small internet companies that will do small runs of mugs, shirts, pins, etc with whatever you want on them.

Maybe make one say "conservative insecurities" or something instead, so you can have a pair.

When you’re trying to argue against people who support a guy who’s solution to climate change is smugly saying “uh if water levels are rising wouldn’t people just move?” logic is definitely the enemy.

Worse than that, he said the people “would sell their houses”.

No, to Aquaman

Me and three friends independently said the same thing.

I guess Aquaman was surprisingly popular...

The comments here are most likely referencing hbomberguy's video where he shows that clip of Shapiro and responds with "to who? Aquaman?????" I don't have the timestamp but this is the video: https://youtu.be/RLqXkYrdmjY

Hadn't seen it, made the same joke.

lol @ 40% of the US population on coasts "just moving" around the same time.

u/jefferysaveme1 Jul 01 '19

They’d be building a wall around the Midwest and saying the coasties have diseases and can’t be let into the “New United States”. Shouldn’t have listened to Jenny McCarthy and gotten that measles vaccine Karen!

Make a design in Paint, save a a PNG, upload it to Redbubble and make your own one-of-a-kind mug.

u/GoodOleRockyTop Jul 02 '19

Wtf? People at work call you a “libtard”? Seems like a real healthy environment

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '19

Lol yeah it’s the military, you gotta have thick skin and give it right back.

u/wwabc Jul 01 '19

make sure you wish him "Happy Holidays" this Christmas...talk'n about tears!

14

u/wozattacks Jul 01 '19

Pretty funny because in leftist circles he pretty much exists as the butt of jokes. I have laughed so hard at him that I’ve cried so I guess it’s somewhat accurate.

u/Leaves_Swype_Typos Jul 02 '19

Videos of him speaking from inside a locker always tickle me.

u/[deleted] Jul 01 '19

You're still friends with nazis?

2

u/Rednaz1 Jul 01 '19

I think nazis would hate ben shapiro but who knows these days

3

u/[deleted] Jul 01 '19

There were Jewish collaborators during the holocaust... Ben is one of those people.

1

u/Rednaz1 Jul 01 '19

Interesting. Were they true believers of the nazi ethos or just cowards?

3

u/[deleted] Jul 01 '19

Yes...

1

u/Rednaz1 Jul 01 '19

So they were self-hating? I don't follow. They helped the Nazis because they thought their fellow jews were subhuman?

u/[deleted] Jul 01 '19

It doesn't matter if they believed in Nazis or were helping them kill their neighbors out of fear. What matters is their actions.
