I’m still shocked to see that people are this sensitive where they can’t handle opposing views or the mere presence of one with opposing views

it's all a LARP with the goal being censorship.

the convention hosts were pressured by left wing activists for allowing a right wing podcast to be present, and the response from the hosts was to put on a whole performance and interpretive dance aimed at communicating - without saying - that all right wingers will be banned in the future.

We like to laugh about the delicate snowflakes getting their fee-fees hurt, but it is far more sinister than that. Their cry-bullying has worked very well for them.

Just saw some of an interview with the Legion of Skanks on the Adam Corolla Show and Corolla made the same point. There aren't many of them, but they're loud and, most important, they use public blackmail of various sorts to get normies (people with lives too busy to pay attention) to comply with them until their demands become evil and absurd as they eventually do and the normies (once known as he silent majority) finally get fed up and resist.

That’s so pathetic. They could’ve used the opportunity to tell the mob about the importance of free speech.

The irony is that Ben Shapiro is the most milquetoast normie shill for the establishment military industrial complex and he has never said nigger and never will. His ideas are not dangerous to anyone (other than Palestinian children)

it's not ironic. by making it so even inviting a milquetoast clickbait grifter is inconceivable, you're preemptively banning everyone to their political right.

This simply can’t be tolerated and can’t go unpunished. The people at @PodcastMovement who allowed this to happen need to be held accountable! I hope that someone was fired for this incredibly harmful event. Until there’s accountability I will no longer support PM! Cheers. https://twitter.com/georgelordtalks/status/1562901101497974786

It’s honestly impossible to tell whether this is a joke. https://twitter.com/charlescwcooke/status/1562916475907837952

MAJOR INVESTIGATION: I got to the bottom of what went down at the Podcast Movement conference. AS SUSPECTED, @benshapiro was both PRESENT and... brace yourself... BREATHING.

If you were harmed by @benshapiro kinda standing around and like, existing, please contact me. I want to share your story. https://twitter.com/robbysoave/status/1562917040331149313

I don’t think anyone could have explained any of this to our grandparents and have it make sense. “In the future, being a boy and girl is based on what toys and dresses and haircuts you want.” “What about having a dick or a vagina?” “If you wear a dress you’re a girl, grandma, quit being a bigot.” “I don’t understand what it is I’m being prejudiced about or anything you just said.” “Everyone also gets to choose their own pronouns.” “Can’t I just call them by their name or our relationship? Like my friend Billy or something like that?” “NO YOU CAN’T GRANDMA, that’s violence against them.” “Are you trying to tell me I have dementia? Nothing makes sense right now. Is your gibberish a symptom of my own dementia?”

Uncle Ben is one of the most milquetoast conservatives around. If that's enough to make you shid and fard, you deserve to be angry.

His voice annoys me. When he's right, it's along obvious lines, and when he's wrong it's because he's a boring cuckservative. Just uninteresting. No bone to pick, in particular.

What a preposterous gaggle of asshats.

Podcast "movement"?

Who are these nobodies and why does anyone care about their prejudices?

My guess is that it is a group for those whose content gets little or no traffic and for people with zero content or charisma trying to cash in on what a relatively few wildly talented people have parlayed into fame and fortune.

I can see a bunch of 20-something doofuses (doofi?) milling around wondering what they're doing wrong.

Being distressed by the sight of Ben Shapiro is like being distressed by the sight of a teacup Shih Tzu. I'm more annoyed that the Daily Wire is breaking the maxim:

Don't give money to people that hate you and want you and your children dead.
