Opinion What's the consensus on Ben Shapiro around here?

Has the left ever had anyone as smart as Ben Shapiro?
 
Self loathing white liberals...

Those completely consumed with white guilt and hold stupid positions like, "only white people can be racist..."

Or "I can't comment on that, because i come from a privileged background and cis-gender..."


They are without question, the worst type of leftist...

I wonder who he copied this from.

@Kafir-kun any guess?
 
I don't think there is a consensus. He's legitimately conservative and does his homework before debating anything. Have never seen anything where it seemed like he was just phoning it in or was unprepared, but democrats pretty much all hate him and so do a bunch of republicans.

Yeah, Paul Krugman. Remember when all of his predictions came true that the stock market would crash and never recover if Trump was elected, and that the internet would have no more of an impact on the economy than the fax machine?
 
I don't think people here give him a chance, maybe just see some of the " thug life" videos and think he's a right troll light Milo but hes the exact opposite. Listening to him some has made me be more intellectually honest about my own party. He states things like just because it makes the left cry doesn't mean it's good and he's no fan of Trump, he states he didn't vote for him because voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil. I see that point. I agree with him about 60% of the time but he keeps it intellectually honest for the most part and I really respect that. I think more people should listen to him I really do like that he calls a spade a spade or both sides even when the left take a big hit and the right is trying to spin it up or make it a big deal like " lock her up" he stays pretty grounded about that non sense.

I do think he oversimplifies tranagenderism...and dismisses it all to quick as a mental disorder..
 
Regular smart dork
  • graduated high school two years early.
  • graduated summa cum laude from UCLA.
  • graduated cum laude from Harvard Law School.
  • published seven books by the age of 33.
I would wager that he's a bit better than regular smart.
